1. Introduction!
The Spectra FIA light engine® consists of 5 individually addressable light sources with 4 individual LEDs and 1
luminescent light pipe. The output of these individual sources are combined with dichroics such that the light from
each channel illuminates the entrance port of the two fiber bundles. These light sources are precisely mounted on a
common heat sink. The circuit boards are mounted below the heat sink. The exhaust fan pulls fresh air from the
front of the light engine across the heat sink fins and exhaust the heated air out the rear panel.!
The light sources within the Spectra FIA light engine are controlled by software; via one of two serial interfaces,
RS-232 or TCP, to the onboard computer operating Lumencor firmware. The user can enable or disable each
source independently by serial commands as well as change the intensity of each source independently. The only
manual control is a power switch on the front panel to turn on/offthe power into the unit. The Spectra FIA light
engine can either be controlled by a Lumencor GUI or by a LAN connection to an onboard computer with an
embedded command library.!

When setting the Spectra FIA light engine up for use, place the unit on a hard surface and avoid blocking or
restricting airflow at the air inlets (front panel) or exhaust ports (rear panel) on the enclosure. The light engine must
be operated in a non-condensing environment (dew point <10ºC with controlled ambient temperature <30º C.
Restricting the airflow will cause the unit to operate at elevated temperatures and will result in decreased product life
and/or premature failure. Thermal overload protection is provided by the on-board computer in conjunction with an
onboard temperature sensor. If the internal temperature registered by the sensor exceeds 50°C OR the fan rotor is
stopped, all light output channels automatically turn OFF and are locked in this state until the internal temperature is
below 50°C and/or the fan restarts. The current reading of the on-board temperature sensor is displayed in the GUI
(Figure 5) or can be accessed using the GET TEMP software command. Normal exhaust airflow (with all light
sources operating at 100%) has been measured at 52.7 m3/hour with a temperature 6°C above ambient.!
Connect the DC power supply to the power input port (front panel, lower left corner) using the DC power cable
(Lumencor part number 29-10098 or 29-10103). See Figure 2 for pin connections. Position the unit in such an
orientation that allows unrestricted access to the DC power connector. In an emergency, you may ned to
disconnect power to the unit quickly. Connect the DC power supply to the AC utility power.!

Figure 3. Spectra FIA light engine schematic
The Spectra FIA light engine®has two identical light output ports A and B built directly into the light engine front
panel (Figure 3). The ports are custom designed for connection to Nikon’s fiber bundles. Each fiber bundle should
be inserted all the way into the correct port and then 3 screws are used to mechanically attached the fiber bundle to
the light engine. The insertion depth is set at the factory for optimum performance.!
3.3 Operation!
The only manual control is a power switch on the front panel to turn the electrical power to the unit on or off. A
green power indicator on the front panel is lit (“ON”) when the power supply is connected to the Spectra FIA light
engine®and the power switch is in the on position. Prior to turning the light output on, be sure the output end of the
fiber bundle is safely directed into an enclosed optical path (e.g. a beam dump). The Spectra FIA light engine®can
either be controlled by a Lumencor GUI or via the built in library of software commands. A complete listing of the
commands is provided in the Lumencor Light Engine Command Reference (Document Number 57-10018). The
software commands can be transmitted via the RS-232 port or the LAN input. The default IP address for LAN
communications is 192.168.2.1. The current IP address can be determined using the GET IP command sent over
RS-232. The RS-232 port conforms to the standard RS-232 interface protocol using standard RS-232 connector
pin definitions. The default RS-232 port parameters are 9600,8,N,1. The RJ-45 port enables communication using
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The GUI provides a quick and easy way to control the light engine providing
the ability to turn each source on/off, adjust the power of each source independently from offto full power. The GUI
also tracks the total on time and the power sensor readings. The GUI is accessed by typing in the IP address into a
web browser (Figure 4).!

4. Light Output!
Spectral distribution and power measurements are measured at the distal end of the Nikon–supplied fiber bundle.
Guaranteed minimum output A power values are given in the adjacent table along with an output spectrum
measured from one of the first production light engines (Figure 5). The two peaks in the red output band have an
intensity ratio of 0.7 or more relative to the intensity of the stronger peak normalized to a value of 1.0.!

7. Routine Maintenance and Trouble Shooting!
Since this light engine will be used in a clean room, no maintenance will be required regarding the air intake and
exhaust. There are no user-replaceable components or sub-assemblies in Spectra FIA light engine®. Opening the
light engine enclosure will void the manufacturer’s warranty.!
8. Customer Support!
For technical support of the Spectra FIA light engine, please contact Lumencor by phone at 503-213-4269 or
through email at techsupport@lumencor.com. Please be prepared to provide the 4- or 5-digit serial number of the
light engine (see Figure 2). Any light engine returned to Lumencor for service requires a manufacturer’s issued return
material authorization (RMA) number. An RMA number must be issued before returning a unit to Lumencor. To
request an RMA number, fill out and submit the online request form. It is the customer’s responsibility to properly
package and safely ship products to Lumencor. Instructions for shipping will be provided in the e-mail giving
notification of the RMA number.!
9. Warranty!
The Spectra FIA light engine®family of light engines is backed by an 18 month warranty. Warranty coverage starts
on the original date of shipment from Lumencor. Light Engines qualifying for warranty service must be verifiably
delivering performance that is substantially at variance with the levels documented in the certificate of conformance.
The light engine must also have been used and maintained under operating conditions consistent with the
specifications given in Section 6, and observing all the Precautions and Warnings notified in Section 2. This
warranty does not extend to light engines that have been subject to misuse, accident, tampering or improper
installation. Accessories including (but not limited to) liquid light guides, optical fibers, collimators, cables and
control consoles are not covered by the warranties attached to light engines. Please fill out and submit the online
warranty registration form . An extended warranty option is available; extended warranties must be purchased in
advance of receipt of goods or within 90 days of the light engine delivery.!
