2. Intended Purpose of Microscopes
2. Intended Purpose of Microscopes
The Leica DM2000 and DM2500 microscopes, to
which this user manual belongs, are designed
for biological routine and research applications.
This includes the examination of samples taken
from the human body with a view to provide in-
formation on physiological or pathological
states or congenital abnormalities, or to deter-
mine the safety and compatibility with potential re-
cipients, or to monito therapeutic measures.
All the above-named microscopes comply with
the Council Directive 98/79/EEC concerning in
vitro diagnostics. They also conform to the
Council Directives 73/23/EEC concerning electri-
cal apparatus and 89/336/EEC concerning elec-
tromagnetic compatibility for use in an industrial
environment.
Caution!
The manufacturer assumes no liability for
damage caused by, or any risks arising from
using the microscopes for other purposes
than those for which they are intended or
not using them within the specifications of
Leica Microsystems Wetzlar GmbH.
In such cases the conformity declaration
shall cease to be valid.
Caution!
These (IVD) devices are not intended for use
in the patient environment defined by DIN
VDE 0100-710. Neither are they intended for
combining with medical devices according
to EN 60601-1. If a microscope is electrically
connected to a medical device according to
EN 60601-1, the requirements defined in
EN 60601-1-1 shall apply.

3. Safety Notes
3.1 General Safety Notes
This safety class 1 device is constructed and
tested in accordance with
EN 61010-2-101:2002,
EN 61010-1:2001,
IEC 1010-1:2001,
safety regulations for electrical measuring, con-
trol, and laboratory devices.
Caution!
In order to maintain this condition and to en-
sure safe operation, the user must follow the
instructions and warnings contained in this
operating manual.
Caution!
The devices and accessories described in
this operating manual have been tested for
safety and potential hazards.
The responsible Leica affiliate or the main
plant in Wetzlar, Germany must be consulted
whenever the device is altered, modified or
used in conjunction with non-Leica compo-
nents 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!

Caution!
The power plug may only be plugged into an

Do not interfere with the grounding function
by using an extension cord without a ground
wire. Any interruption of the ground wire in-
side or outside of the device, or release of
the ground wire connection, can cause the
device to become hazardous. Intentional
ground interruption is not permitted!

3. Safety Notes
Caution!
Protect the microscope from excessive tem-
perature fluctuations. Such fluctuations can
lead to the accumulation of condensation,
which can damage the electrical and optical
components.
Ambient temperature: 15-35°C.
Caution!
Before exchanging the fuses or lamps, be
absolutely certain to switch off the main
power switch and remove the power cable.
Caution!
Through activating to the grounding connec-
tion (earth screw at the back of the stand)
ancillary equipment with its own and/or ex-
tra power supply may be brought to the
same ground wire potential. For connections
without a ground connector, Leica Service
must be consulted.
Caution!
Never use any fuses as replacements other
than those of the types and the current rat-
ings listed here. Using patched fuses or
bridging the fuse holder is not permitted.
The use of incorrect fuses may result in a
fire hazard.
Caution!
The microscope’s electrical accessory com-
ponents are not protected against water.
Water can cause electric shock.
