Health risks
Workplaces with microscopes and cameras faci-
litate and improve the viewing task, but they
also impose high demands on the eyes and
muscles of the user. Depending on the duration
of uninterrupted work, asthenopia and muscu-
loskeletal problems may occur.
For this reason, appropriate measures for reduc-
tion of the workload must be taken:
OOptimal arrangement of workplace, work
assignments and work flow (changing tasks
frequently).
OThorough training of the personnel, giving
consideration to ergonomic and organiza-
tional aspects.
The ergonomic optical design and construc-
tion of microscopes and cameras from Leica are
intended to reduce the exertion of the user to
a minimum.

EMC precautions
Prior to the installation of Flexacam, the elec-
tromagnetic environment needs to be evalu-
ated. It is the responsibility of the operator to
ensure compliance with the environment.
If the instrument is being installed in any other
environment than an INDUSTRIAL, it cannot be
guaranteed that the equipment does not inter-
fere with other electronic devices.
INDUSTRIAL environments are part of a sepa-
rate power network, in most cases supplied by
a high- or medium-voltage transformer, dedi-
cated for the supply of installations feeding
manufacturing or similar plants.
Strong electromagnetic fields in the immediate
vicinity of the device can lead to a malfunction
of the screen display.
NOTICE
If Flexacam is installed in any other envi-
ronment than an INDUSTRIAL, it cannot be
guaranteed that the radiated electromag-
netic emissionsdo not interfere with other
electronic devices.
