Mechanical Integration
The lights are equipped with 4 combined mounting positions of M5
threaded holes and M4 through holes. The SDL-30 dome light only got
through holes for M5. It can be used to fix the lighting to the specified
position. To ensure a long operational lifetime of the light additional
heat transfer measurements at the mounting positions are highly
recommended.

Safety Notes
Before working with this unit, read the warning and application instruc-
tions carefully and completely before operating the device.
1. The device is designed for indoor use only.
2. Light – Due to the risk of flash burn of the eyes it is not recommended
to look directly into the light source. The lighting must be switched
off before installation and/or maintenance. The device must not be
used when a failure may cause a personal injury.
3. Heat - In case of insufficient heat dissipation or when running the
light in flash mode with a too high duty cycle, the surface tempera-
ture may exceed 60 °C. Keep off flammable materials at any time.
4. Electricity - The housing is electrically isolated from the ground of
the power supply. Exceeding the permissible input voltage Uin or
ULED(+) can lead to the destruction of the device or to a significant
shortening of the lifetime of the LEDs in the device.
5. Usage – Please prevent mechanical stress to the light surface during
operation. This will lead to a inhomogenious light emission.
6. Cleaning - The light emission surface has to be cleaned with a stan-
dard glass cleaner and a soft cleaning cloth. Do not use other material
for cleaning as it will damage the device.

1) Values are approximate with a +/- 7% tolerance.
2) Lower voltage value refers to steady light, higher voltage value refers to flash light, please see max. allowed current in the rows below.
3) Power for Blue / Yellow is comparable to White, Power for Green is approx. 1,2 times higher.
4) Triggered flash light with max. 20ms and up to 100 % more light intensity, calculated for White.
Electrical Connection
The lighting is equipped with an 4 pin M8x1 connector.

2) connection to 24VDC without external LED controller may destroy the unit
Additional Information:
Pin3 (Trigger) is an ‘active high’ input signal with 5…24V=ON and 0...1 V=OFF,
it is a high resistance current sink with 0.2mA for 5V and 5 mA for 24 V
Pin2 (DIM) is used as brightness control and operation mode switch, it is a
high resistance current sink with 0.2mA for 5V and 1 mA for 24 V.
For the connection it is recommended to use the MBJ lighting cable with a
maximum length of 10 m.
Integrated Controller (-s)
Supported operation modes with the integrated LED controller
Pin 2 (Dim) Operation mode
24 V steady light 1)
1...10 V steady light with brightness control 2)
24 V triggered light
GND triggered flash light with max. 20ms and
up-to 100 % more light intensity 3)
1) Pin 3 (Trigger) needs permanent 24V to activate steady light mode
2) PWM with 3.8 kHz clock is used, recommended minimal camera exposure is 5ms
3) Latency between trigger and LED light ON is about max. 30 µs, the maximum recom-
mended clock speed is 1 kHz, the maximum recommended duty cycle is 25% and the
minimum recommended flash time is 100µs
