3. Insert the control key, turn it to the ON position.
4. Connect the isolated DC power supply to the light engine.
5. Connect the AC power cord to the DC power supply.
6. As soon the DC power supply is energized, the master power
button (top right) will automatically light up.!The light engine
automatically starts when the power is connected; there is no
need to push the master power button [2].
7. Wait 30–45 seconds for the initiation sequence
(onboard microprocessor boot-up) to complete.!Do not
press any buttons or insert any plugs during this time.
8. When the initiation sequence completes,
“LUMENCOR” will flash on front display panel and then
be replaced by a display showing the current light
engine IP address, the internal temperature and the fan
status.!At the same time, the fan will come on at HI for
about 2 seconds and then shut off automatically.
9. The light engine is now ready for use.
Notes
[1] Ensure that the distal end of the optical fiber is safely
directed into an enclosed optical path (e.g. microscope
epilluminator or a beam dump) before turning the light
output on. If the light engine is equipped with an output
adapter for an SMA-terminated optical fiber, connect the
fiber to the output adapter using the integral threaded
sleeve.
[2] For subsequent start ups, use the master power button
to start or shut down the light engine. Shut down can also
be accomplished using the “Shut Down” button in the Control
GUI (Figure 4).
3.3.3 Ethernet Connection and Control GUI!
The Web 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 off to full power (Figure 4). The GUI also
tracks the total on time for each laser light source and display output power readings from the onboard
photodiode array. A channel map stored on the onboard computer is used to the define the association of
control addresses with light sources. The channel map can be viewed by sending the command GET
CHMAP to the LAN port. To access the Web GUI on a Windows workstation, follow the protocol below:
1. Go to Start menu > Control Panel > Network & Internet and/ or Network & Sharing Center
2. Click Change Adapter Settings
3. Right-click on Local Area Connection
4. Click on Properties (in pop-up)
