Duties of the operator
Notes on the
foot control panel
• Make sure that the installation conditions and the use of the foot control
panel meet microsurgical requirements:
–low vibration
– clean environment
– avoidance of extreme mechanical stress.
• Observe the legal regulations for accident prevention and occupational
health and safety applicable in the country concerned.
• Do not operate the components contained in the delivery package
– in explosion-risk areas,
– if inflammable anesthetics or volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzine
or similar chemicals are present at a distance of less than 25 cm.
• Switch off the connected foot control panel and remove the batteries if
you notice any smoke, sparks or unusual noise. Do not use the foot con-
trol panel until it has been repaired by our service team.
• Do not force cable connections. If the male and female parts do not read-
ily connect, make sure that they are appropriate for one another. If any of
the connectors are damaged, have our service representative repair them.
• Over long distances (e.g. removal, return for repair, etc), the foot control
panel must always be transported in the original packaging or in special
return packaging. For details, please contact your dealer or the Carl Zeiss
service team.
• Use the foot control panel only for the application described.
Safety measures Foot Control Panel FCP Interface & FCP WL Interface
Version 1.0
Page 10 G-30-1707-en
• Operate the foot control panel only with the components included in the
delivery package. If you wish to use other components, make sure that
Carl Zeiss or the manufacturer of the components has verified and con-
firmed that these components meet the respective safety standards and
can be used without risk.
• If a failure occurs which you cannot correct with the aid of the chapter
"What to do in the event of malfunctions“, attach a sign to the foot con-
trol panel stating it is out of order and contact our service representative.
The foot control panel is a high-grade technological product. To ensure op-
timum performance and safe working order, we recommend having it
checked by our service representative as part of regular scheduled mainte-
nance.
Notes on EMC (Electro-
magnetic Compatibility)
The foot control panel complies with the EMC requirements of
IEC 60601-1-2. For operating the foot control panel, observe the EMC precau-
tions specified below.
• Only use options approved by Carl Zeiss for this foot control panel.
• Do not use any portable or mobile HF communication equipment in the
vicinity of the foot control panel as this may lead to an impairment of the
foot control panel's function.
• The foot control panel meets the RFI requirements of Class B. It cannot be
ruled out, however, that interferences may occur in HF receivers (e.g. TV
or radio sets) in the vicinity. If such interferences are noticed, please in-
form the Carl Zeiss Service Dept.
Information on exposure to radio frequency radiation in accordance
with FCC
The emitted output power of the component is far below the FCC limit values
for radio frequency exposure. Nevertheless, the component should be used in
such a way that potential contact with persons during normal operation is
kept to a minimum.
NOTE Class
This Class B digital component complies with Canadian standard ICES-003.

Foot Control PanelFCP Interface & FCP WL Interface Notes for the operator
NOTE Limit values for digital devices
This component has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device in accordance with Part 15 of FCC regulations. These
limits have been stipulated to provide adequate protection against harmful
exposure when the component is operated in residential areas. This compo-
nent generates and uses radio frequency energy and may emit such energy.
If not installed and used in accordance with the relevant instructions, it may
cause interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this component
causes interference with radio and TV reception, which can be determined
by turning the component off and on, the user should try to correct the in-
terference by one or several of the following measures:
– Relocate or reorient the receiving antenna.
– Move the component further away from the receiver.
– Plug the component into a different outlet so that it is not on the same
circuit as the receiver.
– Consult an experienced radio/TV technician.
NOTE Part 15 of FCC regulations
This component complies with Part 15 of FCC regulations [and with the In-
dustry Canada RSS-210 standard].
Operation of the component is subject to the following two conditions:
– the component must not cause any harmful interference and
– the component must accept any interference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation
NOTE Modification or conversion
Any modification or conversion not explicitly approved by Carl Zeiss will in-
validate the FCC license for the operation of this component.

1Connection cable
Connects the foot control panel to the appropriate connector on a sus-
pension system or wall-mounted control panel.
2Bracket
Allows you to hang up the foot control panel on the floor stand or on the
wall when not in use.
3Controls
Buttons operated with your foot.
4Indicator
The indicator is adjustable. It indicates the assignment to a surgical micro-
scope after pairing.
5Joystick
Permits you to control e.g. an X-Y coupling or the motorized lateral and
front-to-back tilt of the surgical microscope.
6Rocker switch
The two rocker switches are used to operate the ”Zoom” and ”Focus”
functions. For this, each of the rocker switches contains two switching el-
ements, allowing you to control the functions by toe and heel movement
without the need to shift your foot.
You can optionally assign the ”Zoom” and ”Focus” functions to the
switching elements of the rocker switches using the relevant switch of the
upgrade module (see page 30).
ALongitudinal configuration:
The left elements of the rocker switches are used to operate the ”Zoom”
function. The right elements of the rocker switches are used to operate
the ”Focus” function. For more information, please see page 26.
BTransverse configuration:
The elements of the front rocker switch are used to operate the ”Focus”
function. The switching elements of the back rocker switch are used to
operate the ”Zoom” function. For more information, please see page 28.
7Foot rest
The bridge between the two rocker switches (6) serves as a support to
rest your foot on.

Care of the device
Cleaning
Contamination of the foot control panel
– If possible, clean the foot control panel and its components directly after
use.
– Contaminations should not be allowed to dry on the objects, as this would
make cleaning and disinfecting more difficult.
Cleaning mechanical surfaces
All mechanical surfaces of the foot control panel and its components can be
cleaned by wiping them with a damp cloth. Do not use any aggressive or abra-
sive cleaning agents.
Clean off any residue using a mixture of 50% ethyl alcohol and 50% distilled
water plus a dash of household dish-washing liquid.
Disinfection
It may be necessary to disinfect the foot control panel to permit its use in the
OR, for example.
We recommend using MELISEPTOL disinfectant from B. Braun, Melsungen
AG.
MELISEPTOL is available from Carl Zeiss, and you can also obtain it locally in
many countries from representatives of B. Braun, Melsungen AG.
CAUTION Observe the manufacturer's instructions for use.
– Use MELISEPTOL in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications
and observe the instructions for use provided with the product.
– Wear disposable plastic gloves to prevent skin contact with the disinfect-
ant.
