CHAPTER 1 - HARDWARECarl Zeiss User Interfaces Lightsheet Z.110 000000-1790-528 02/20133.1 Installation and Deinstallation of the Detection ModulesA cooling liquid defined as a hazardous substance is used in the Lightsheet Z.1 to cool thedetection modules (depending on configuration). The supplied safety data sheet with notes onhazards and safety measures must be observed when handling the cooling liquid.The ports of the detection modules, reflection (Cam1) (Fig. 3/1) and transmission (Cam2) (Fig. 3/2), onthe main system module Lightsheet Z.1 are equipped with a hardware interlock device. The contact rings(Fig. 3/9) are connected to the detection modules (Fig. 3/8) and adjusted in the factory. When handlingthe detection modules, ensure that neither tilting nor rotation forces are exerted on this connection toavoid misalignment. The detection module should be gripped as close as possible to the contact ring.A rotation guard plate (Fig. 3/7) is mounted on the contact ring of each detection module. Whenmounting on both ports this must point toward the front side of the Lightsheet Z.1. It prevents rotationof the detection module and carries the laser protection notice.Never remove the rotation guard plates of the detection module adapters. Do not modify ormanipulate the detection module adapters.The lock is functioning when the sensors (Fig. 3/4) of the sensor disk (Fig. 3/11) are pressed down by thepins of the contact ring (Fig. 3/10 or 5 for blind cap). If this is not the case, e.g. the space between thetwo devices is too large, the laser is blocked and the system cannot be used.If the system does not function after a detection module has been attached to or removed from aport with a safety interlock, check the connection of the contact ring on the respective detectionmodule or blind cap (Fig. 3/9 or 6) to the sensor ring.
