Dear User,

Thank you for your faith in our product. We hope

your work with it is both enjoyable and successful.

The Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A from Leica

Microsystems are the only fully apochromatically

corrected motorized zoom systems on the market,

and are superior to other zoom systems in con-

trast, image sharpness, color fidelity and image

precision. The Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A are

exceptionally well suited to high-precision inspec-

tions throughout the entire manufacturing

process, all the way to the integration of them into

machine vision systems, as well to scientific and

medical applications.

Both zoom systems feature motorized zoom, iris

diaphragm and fine focusing. This allows for

automating many inspection and documentation

tasks and repeating them via PC control. Further-

more, you can create complete single measure-

ment and testing stations tailored to your custom

needs. The new zoom systems include the widest

line of accessory products to meet every imagin-

able examination, training, and documentation

task. With compatible stands, illuminators, binocu-

lar tubes and video/phototubes, motorized focus,

modern CCD cameras, and much more, the

Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A are suitable for

video inspection, measurement, documentation

and analysis tasks in the QA lab, just as they are

suited for biology, geology, histology, criminology

and training.

1.2 Safety instructions

Description

The Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A zoom systems

are optical systems with 6.3:1 or 16:1 motorized

magnification changer and a central beam path.

The most precise information can be obtained

thanks to the parallax free observation. Measure-

ments, adaptation tasks and evaluations become

more precise; more high-quality information is

obtained in photography and image processing.

The vertical beam path, combined with motorized

functions, is predestined for digital imaging with

multi-focus programs. Polarized optical examina-

tions provide true polarization colors, and the

geometric layers of flat, highly reflective objects

such as wafers appear without distortion when

using coaxial illumination.

Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A feature an exten-

sive accessories program in a modular design,

such as objective, carrier, video/phototubes,

stands, binocular tubes, eyepieces and much

more (see expansion diagram p. 46).

Permitted uses

With the motorized Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A

zoom systems and the apochromatic objectives,

entire objects can be inspected and documented

without distortion and sequences of operation can

be automated. As high-performance optical equip-

ment, they lend themselves to use with measure-

ment and testing systems including vision tech-

nology systems, and for high-end laboratory work-

stations.

8 Leica Z6 APO A & Z16 APO A – Safety concept

Non-intended use

If the Leica Z6 APO A or Z16 APO A, its components

or accessories are used other than as described in

the user manual, injury or property damage may

occur. Never:

– install other plugs or cables.

– change, rebuild or take apart parts, if not

specifically instructed to do this in the manual.

– allow unauthorized persons to open parts.

– use the Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A for

examining, or operating on the human eye.

The devices and accessories described in this

operating manual have been tested for safety and

potential hazards. The responsible Leica affiliate

must be consulted whenever the device 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 noncom-

pliant use shall void all rights to any warranty

claims!

Responsibilities of the person(s) in charge of

instrument

Ensure that

– the Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A and acces-

sories are operated, maintained and repaired

by authorized and trained personnel only.

– the operating personnel has read, understands,

and is observing these instructions as well as

those listed on page 6, and, in particular, the

safety instructions.

Place of use

– The Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A may only be

operated in closed, dust-free rooms at +10˚ C to

+40˚ C. Ensure that the room is free of oil and

chemical fumes and extreme humidity.

– Electrical components must be assembled at

least 10 cm away from the wall and from flam-

mable substances.

– Large temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight

and vibrations should be avoided. These condi-

tions can distort measurements and micro-

graphic images.

– Optical systems in warm and warm-damp

climatic regions require special care in order

to prevent the build up of fungus.

Disposal

The products described here must be disposed

off in accordance with applicable local laws and

regulations.

Legal requirements

Adhere to general and local regulations relating to

accident prevention and environmental protec-

tion.

Conformity with European Community directive

accessories are constructed based on the state of

the art of technology and are provided with an EU

Declaration of Conformity.

Leica Z6 APO A & Z16 APO A – Safety concept 9

Health risks

Workplaces with optical systems 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 muscu-

loskeletal problems may occur. For this reason,

appropriate measures for reduction of the work-

load must be taken:

– optimal arrangement of workplace, work

assignments and work flow (changing tasks

frequently).

– thorough training of the personnel, giving

consideration to ergonomic and organization

aspects.

The ergonomic optics concept and the design of

Leica optics systems aim to limit the strain on the

user to the lowest possible level. If you wish to

equip your zoom system with one of our binocular

tubes, we offer ErgoTubes®and ErgoModules®,

which compensate for the varying design heights

of the equipment, accessories and working dis-

tances, and for the variation of human height of its

users. If you have problems with the viewing con-

figuration, ask your Leica consultant for the most

ergonomic Leica solutions.

Direct contact with eyepieces is a potential

transmission method for bacterial and viral infec-

tions of the eye. Users should be made aware of

the potential risk of infection. The risk can be kept

to a minimum by using personal eyepieces for

each individual or detachable eyecups.

Repairs and servicing

– Only Leica Microsystems-trained service tech-

nicians, or technical specialists assigned by

the person in charge of the instrument, are

permitted to carry out repairs.

– Only original Leica Microsystems spare parts

may be used.

– Unplug the power cable before opening voltage

carrying parts.

Touching the live circuit can cause injury.

Transport

– Use the original packaging for shipping or

transporting the zoom systems and their acces-

sory components.

– In order to prevent damage from vibrations,

disassemble all moving parts that (according to

the user manual) can be assembled by the cus-

tomer and pack them separately. These include

the objective, video/phototube, carrier, binocu-

lar tube, eyepieces, etc.

Integration in third-party products

When installing Leica products into third-party

products, note the following: The manufacturer of

the complete system or its dealer is responsible

for following all applicable safety instructions,

laws and guidelines.
