OVERVIEW
Indication for Use
This device is designed to supply high-intensity white light to a fiber optic cable for illumination of a surgical field or
other area of examination or operation. The Light Source should never be used in ocular surgery or in a surgical
procedure requiring direct illumination of the eye.
The CLX delivers white Xenon light. The lamp can be easily replaced by the user without special tools.
The rear panel, main power on/off rocker switch, is located on the back of the CLX. See Figure 1. The front panel
push button, on / standby switch, is used to select lamp on or lamp standby. See Figure 2.
The intensity of the light output is controlled manually by rotating the attenuator ring, clockwise to increase intensity,
counter-clockwise to decrease intensity.

Inspection Before Use
The CLX light source comes with a hospital grade power cord. Please verify that both the light source and the
power cord have been received undamaged.
All fiber optic light guides should be properly cleaned and sterilized prior to first time use. See light guide
manufacturer’s manual for information.
Warnings
FIRE HAZARD: DO NOT DRAPE OR COVER THE LIGHT SOURCE WHILE IT IS OPERATING.
Explosion Hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics, liquids, vapors, gases or dusts.
Electric shock hazard. If unit is not functioning properly, DO NOT OPEN.
Please refer to the Repair and Return Section of this Manual.
Use care not to point any light guide directly at the eye while operating the Light Source.
Keep cooling and fan vents free of obstructions.
Do not use or store liquids on or above the Light Source.
When Light Source is not in use, turn off the power switches on both the front and the back of the CLX.
Setting Up
Before turning power on, make sure the unit is plugged into any standard 100V to 240V 50/60Hz (as appropriate)
three-conductor outlet. Grounding reliability is guaranteed only when connected to a “hospital grade” receptacle.

OPERATION
Controlling Lamp Operation
The main power on/off switch is used to power the
unit on or off. See Figure 3.
The on / standby switch is used to select lamp on
or lamp standby. See Figure 4.
The light source requires both the main power and
the standby switches to be in the “on” state for the
lamp to operate.
When the lamp starts operating, there is a brief
clicking sound, which is normal. If the main power
on/off switch is used to toggle lamp operation,
leaving the standby switch in the “on” state, then
there will be a short delay (3 or 4 seconds), after
turning the main power switch to the “on” position,
before the lamp will energize. This delay will not
occur when the standby switch is used to control
the lamp.
Note that if the light source is left in standby, with
power applied, with the main power on/off switch in
the “on” position and the on / standby switch in the
standby state, the unit will consume a small amount
of power and be slightly warm to the touch. This is
normal and permits the lamp to quickly energize
with the on / standby switch.
When the lamp is operating there is light visible
through the vent holes and the fan grill.
Light Attenuation
The CLX has a manually operated light intensity
ring to control the desired light output level. To
increase the light output, rotate the ring clockwise
until the desired level is reached. See Figure 5.

XENON LAMP REPLACEMENT
Warnings:
Disconnect the light source from main power and allow the equipment to cool before handling the
Xenon lamp. Use protective eye, face, and hand equipment when handling the Xenon lamp. Please
know that Xenon lamps have been known to explode. The chance of this happening when the lamp is
handled properly is very low. The chance of injury if the lamp should explode are very high if the
proper precautions are not taken. The chance of a lamp failure while the light source is not in
operation is very rare. Each lamp is tested thoroughly during manufacture to ensure against failure.
