Leica EG1160 – Paraffin Embedding Center 5
The Leica EG 1160 is a compact bench-top unit and can be set up easily. All
components come in a cardboard box. The components that are packed
separately can be attached to the instrument easily (see page 5 "Part list").
1. Transport and assembly position
The Leica EG 1160 must never - not even for a short while - be positioned as
shown. These positions will inevitably cause damage to the condenser.
Therefore, please check the Tip-N-Tell indicators which are attached to the
package upon receipt.
Should it become necessary to bring the instrument in a position other than
normal, lay the instrument on its back turning it slowly and carefully.
3. Place of installation
The instrument should be set up on a stable, plane laboratory table. Please
2. Unpacking
The instrument may o n l y be lifted holding it at the sides of the base plate
of the housing. Dot not carry the instrument holding it at the top cover, at the
front handholds of the removable trays or the dispenser. Risk of fracture!
ensure that there is no air condition vent nearby.
The location must fulfil the following conditions to ensure that air circulation
is not affected. The back of the instrument must be at least 15 cm away from
the wall. The shipment includes two spacers which must be attached to the
back. Non-compliance with this minimum distance can cause substantial
damage to the instrument and will invalidate the warranty.
4. Power supply
Prior to connecting the instrument to the mains outlet, please ensure that
the power supply specified on the nameplate complies with the local mains
conditions.
5. Foot pedal
The foot pedal is connected to the socket in the right-hand bottom corner on
the back.
