1. Introduction
The TLS-EQ-9 Laser Driven Tunable Light Source is a compact, highly stable tunable light source. It
utilizes the Energetiq EQ-9 Laser Driven Light Source® as a broadband light source. A monochromator is
used to select the desired output wavelength. The monochromator output is fiber coupled to the TLS-EQ-9
output.
The TLS-EQ-9 system consists of a main housing that includes the internal Lamp Controller Unit,
Monochromator, and installed lamp. Connected to the main housing are the Remote Control unit, Lamp
Power Supply, Monochromator Power Supply, and interconnecting cables
For additional information contact Energetiq Technology Technical Support Services at [phone]
X111 or e-mail: [e-mail]
2. Safety instructions
2.1. General Precautions
The output beam from the TLS-EQ-9 should be blocked when not in use with an electronic shutter or other
appropriate beam blocking device. Due to the possibility of generating ozone with some models of TLS-EQ-
9 when ambient oxygen is exposed to short wavelength light, the beam should always be enclosed in an
appropriate beam pipe, tube, or enclosed space. We suggest purging any beam transport space with dry
nitrogen gas.
The TLS-EQ-9 source must also be cabled correctly and connected to a power source with a protective
earth ground prior to operation.
Refer to the Installation section of this manual in Section 4 for details of the facilities connections.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the TLS-EQ-9. For any problems encountered during operation,
please contact Energetiq Technology for assistance. If there is a component failure, do not attempt to
open the Power Supply Controller or Lamp House enclosure of the TLS-EQ-9.
The TLS-EQ-9 utilizes a quartz lamp containing a high-pressure gas fill. Explosion of the lamp and
possible injury from flying fragments can occur if the lamp is mishandled.
Do not open the enclosure of either the Lamp House or the Power Supply Controller. Dangerous
invisible infrared laser beams and hazardous voltages exist inside the Lamp House. Opening the
chassis both voids the warranty and exposes the user to dangerous radiation and hazardous voltages.
This AC cord supplied is for the TLS-EQ-9 only. This AC cord cannot be used with other electrical
equipment.
The power shutdown mechanism of this laser unit is the AC power plug. Do not arrange the
equipment that makes it difficult to connect or disconnect the AC power plug.

WARNING: This unit emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is harmful to humans. Avoid exposure
to the direct or reflected output beam. Make certain that the appropriate output beam shields and
optics are in place prior to energizing the unit. All interlocks must be satisfied prior to operation;
failure to do so may lead to hazardous conditions.
CAUTION: The TLS-EQ-9 emits dangerous levels of UV radiation. Even short exposures to
skin or eyes may cause burns. Ensure that only authorized personnel are in the vicinity of source
during operation. Personnel in vicinity of operating source should wear protective eyewear,
clothing, and gloves. Lighted UV warning lights and signs posted on doors to lab areas may help
prevent accidental exposure.
WARNING: The TLS-EQ-9 utilizes an internal Class 4 IR laser capable of causing severe injury
to eyes or skin. Do not open or attempt to service this unit. Contact Energetiq regarding any
problems with the unit.
WARNING: When working near the emitted light, always wear protective devices (conforming to ISO
4007/4849/4850/4854/4855 or equivalent regulations). The lamp installed in this housing emits intense ultraviolet rays,
which are harmful to the eyes and skin. Looking directly into the emitted light or allowing the light to fall on the skin will
damage eyesight or cause skin burns.
WARNING: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
The power supply must be properly grounded by the outlet to prevent electrical shocks.
Securely plug in the power supply connector to avoid looseness or play. Loose connections may result in
faulty operation.
2.2. Definition of equipment and document symbols and designations
Do not operate the TLS-EQ-9 if the covers are removed or is defective in any way. Contact Energetiq if any
problems with the equipment are suspected.
The TLS-EQ-9 utilizes a quartz lamp containing a high-pressure gas fill. Explosion of the lamp and
possible injury from flying fragments can occur if the lamp is mishandled.
Do not open the enclosure of either the Lamp or the Controller. Dangerous invisible infrared laser
beams and hazardous voltages exist inside the Lamp. Opening the chassis both voids the warranty and
exposes the user to dangerous radiation and hazardous voltages.
CAUTION: controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARNING: Invisible laser radiation avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation

4. TLS-EQ-9 Setup
4.1. Connections
Installation of the TLS-EQ-9 consists of connecting electrical, and purge gas supplies, and connecting the
TLS system to the user’s equipment. Read "Installation Procedure" first before making any connections.
4.1.1 Electrical Power
The TLS-EQ-77H requires 100 – 240 V~, 50/60 Hz input voltage. Power consumption is 350 W maximum
during normal operation. Some OEM versions have higher current requirements.
4.1.2 Purge Gas
Purge gas required for operation. With no purge, ozone will form from atmospheric oxygen and attenuate
the light output in the 220 – 280nm band. In addition, atmospheric oxygen and water vapor will attenuate
the output below 200nm.
The purge port fitting is a push-to-connect type, sized for 4mm O.D. tubing.
Clean and dry nitrogen from either a Dewar or research-grade N2bottle is recommended. Do not use any
other purge gas. Grade 6 or better gas purity is recommended to maintain cleanliness of the optics, and
gas should be filtered to <5um. Supply pressure should be 20 psig (0.14 MPa). With a 20 psig inlet
pressure, the EQ-77 will consume approximately 0.5 slm of flow.
4.1.3 RS-485 Interface
The RS-485 connector is a standard 9-pin male D-sub. The mating connector is a standard 9-pin female d-
sub (for example, AMP part no. 205203-3 with contacts 1-66504-0). See Table 4 for pin connections.
Port settings are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no handshaking.

4.2. Installation Procedure
1. Connect nitrogen purge gas to the Lamp.
Clean and dry nitrogen from either a Dewar or research-grade N2bottle is recommended. Do not
use any other purge gas. Grade 6 or better gas purity is recommended to maintain cleanliness of
the optics, and gas should be filtered to <5um. Supply pressure should be 20 psig (0.14 MPa).
Be sure that the nitrogen source is connected to the upper fitting on the Lamp and the Retroreflector
fitting. Both fittings contain a flow restrictor to limit gas flow. The lamp requires 1/8” OD tubing and
the retroreflector requires 4mm OD tubing.
2. Insert the Interlock Connector (Bypass) in the Remote Control.
3. Connect the Remote Control to the Remote Control I/O connector on the back of the lamp
controller using the supplied cable.
Alternately, connect user’s control system to the Remote Control I/O connector. See "Signal
Connections" below. To use the remote interlock function, connect a remote contact or solid-state
switch across pins 1 and 3. The mating connector is a standard 3-pin mini-DIN, CUI Inc. part no.
MD-30 or equivalent. See Figure 3 for pin connections.
Figure 4: Remote Control Rear Panel
4. If using the RS-485 interface, connect the host computer to the RS-485 connector on the lamp
controller. See "RS-485 Interface" below.
5. Connect the host computer to the Monochromator control connector on the main housing using
the supplied USB cable.

6. Connect the Monochromator power supply to the Monochromator power supply connector on the
main housing.
7. Connect the Lamp Controller power supply to the Lamp Controller.
8. Connect the TLS-EQ-9 optical output to the user equipment using the
9. Plug the power supplies into a 120VAC outlet.
The system is now ready to operate.
5. TLS-EQ-9 Operation
5.1. Startup
Once the lamp is set up properly, verify that all personnel that will be in contact with the lamp system are
aware of the potential hazards involved. It is the responsibility of the user to verify that the lamp and system
are being used safely.
This example assumes the use of the Remote Control to provide local control. If using a custom control
system, substitute the appropriate digital input and output lines from Section 9 for the switches and LEDs
described below.
With the Remote Control connected properly, review the status LEDs on the Lamp Controller Unit. The
POWER ON LED should be lit, and neither the CONTROLLER FAULT nor LAMP MODULE FAULT LEDs
should be lit.
1. Turn on the OPERATE Switch (place switch in UP position).
2. Within several seconds the LASER ON LED will light. Laser light is now present in the Lamp.
3. In approximately 20-150 seconds the igniter will be turned on automatically and the plasma will
ignite. The LAMP ON LED will be lit. The duration of the warm-up time (20-150 seconds) will
depend on the temperature and previous operating condition of the EQ-9-HP. The EQ-9-HP will
automatically detect when the unit has reached the optimum conditions for ignition.
4. If a bulb fails to ignite within 150 seconds after the OPERATE switch was activated, the LASER
ON LED will go out, the LAMP FAULT LED will be lit, and LAMP ON LED will remain off. This is
very unusual. However, if this occurs, turn the OPERATE switch to the OFF position (down) and
begin at Step 1 again. If this occurs multiple times, contact Energetiq service.
5.2. Stopping
To turn the lamp off, simply turn the OPERATE Switch to the OFF position. If the lamp will not be used for
some time, the AC supply can be turned off.
To minimize wear on the ignition components, it is best to avoid frequently starting and stopping the lamp. It
is recommended to run the lamp continuously if long off-periods are not required.
5.3. Monochromator Interface
The monochromator is controlled through its USB interface. A simple Windows application is available to
communicate with the monochromator from a host PC, and control the basic functions of the instrument. To
use the application:
1. Download the file "MH1034AppInstallation-04-25-2018.zip" and extract the files to a new folder.

13
2. Run "setup.exe" and follow the prompts to install the application.
3. Connect the monochromator to the host PC USB port.
4. Run "MH1034App.exe" to launch the application.
The Windows .dll installed by the installer can also be used to write custom control software. Refer to the
document "MH1034 Mono DLL Description Jul-28-2016.pdf" for a description of the software interface.
5.4. Changing Monochromator slits
The monochromator of the TLS-EQ-9 comes standard with 1mm wide entrance and exit slits installed.
The 1mm slit width was chosen to provide an optimal combination of narrow band width and high flux
throughput. An optional monochromator slit kit with several alternative pairs of slits (0.1mm, 0.25mm, and
0.5mm) is available. To change the slits, slide the installed slit upward to remove it from the
monochromator as shown below in Figure 5. To install, slide the slit into the same location. The
monochromator is designed to be operated with the same width slit in the entrance and exit apertures.
The slits must be replaced in pairs of the same width.
Figure 5: Replacement of Monochromator Slit
(exit aperture shown)
6. Service Requirements
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the TLS-EQ-9. For any problems encountered during operation,
please contact Energetiq Technology for assistance.
If there is a component failure, do not attempt to open the Controller or Lamp enclosure of the TLS-
EQ-9.
Any service to the system must be performed only by factory authorized and trained technicians. To avoid
injury, under no circumstances should the user open or modify the Lamp or Controller enclosure.
