Instructions on use

Intended use

The Leica DM500 and DM500 B microscopes are

optical instrument which use magniﬁcation and

illumination to improve the visibility of objects.

It is used for observing and documenting.

The Leica DM500 and DM500 B microscopes

may be used only in closed rooms and must be

placed on a solid ﬂoor.

The Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscopes can

be used in clean rooms without any problems.

•Position the Leica DM500 or

DM500 B microscope so that it can be

disconnected from the power supply at any

time. The power cord must remain accessible at

all times, because the power supply is foreseen

as mains disconnecting device.

Place of use

Only use the instruments in closed, dust free

rooms and between +10 °C and +40 °C. Protect

the devices from oil, chemicals and extreme

humidity. If using the devices outdoors, protect

them from dust and moisture. Never use electri-

cal devices outdoors. Install electrical devices at

least 10 cm from the wall and away from ﬂam-

mable substances.

Avoid large temperature ﬂuctuations, direct

sunlight and vibrations. These conditions

can distort measurements and micrographic

images.

In warm and warm-damp climatic zones,

the individual components require

special care in order to prevent the build-up of

fungus.

Non-intended use

•Using the instrument in any way

contrary to the speciﬁcations in the user

manual can lead to bodily harm and damage to

objects. Doing so can impair the functions of

the protective measures provided.

Never install any other plug (NEMA

5-15P) or unscrew any mechanical

components unless expressly instructed to do

so in the instructions.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is

replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose

of used batteries according to the instructions.

The devices and accessories described in

this operating manual have been tested

for safety and potential hazards.

Leica DM 500, DM500 B Manual 9

Instructions on use (continued)

•The responsible Leica aﬃliate must be

consulted whenever the instrument is

altered, modiﬁed or used in conjunction with

non-Leica components that are outside of the

scope of this manual.

•Unauthorized alterations to the device

or noncompliant use shall void all rights

to any warranty claims.

Transport

If at all possible, use the original packaging for

shipping or transporting individual modules.

In order to prevent damage from vibrations,

disassemble all moving parts that (according to

the user manual) can be assembled and disas-

sembled by the customer and pack them sepa-

rately.

Disposal

Disposal must comply with locally applicable

laws and regulations.

Integration in third-party products

When installing Leica products into third-party

products, the manufacturer of the complete

system or its dealer is responsible for follow-

ing all applicable safety instructions, laws and

guidelines.

Health risks and dangers of use

Health risks

Workplaces with microscopes facilitate

and improve the viewing task, but they

also impose high demands on the eyes and

holding muscles of the user. Depending on the

duration of uninterrupted work, asthenopia

and musculoskeletal problems may occur. For

this reason, appropriate measures for reduction

of the workload must be taken:

ϘOptimum workplace layout

ϘFrequent changes of activity

ϘThorough training of the personnel, giving

consideration to ergonomic and organiza-

tional aspects

The ergonomic design and construction of the

Leica microscopy series are intended to reduce

the exertion of the user to a minimum.

Danger of infection

•Direct contact with eyepieces is a

potential transmission method for viral

infections of the eye.

The risk can be kept to a minimum by

using personal eyepieces for each indi-

vidual or detachable eyecups.

Dangers during use

ϘThe Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscope

may only be connected to a grounded

socket.

ϘThe Leica DM500 or DM500 B microscope

may not be operated unless it is in proper

functioning condition.

LED Klasse 1 /Class 1 LED Product

The illumination meets laser class 1 require-

ments in accordance with IEC 60825-1 "Safety

of LED products".

Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or

performance of procedures other than those

speciﬁed herein may result in hazardous radia-

tion exposure!
