4.1 Operating the FGC100
Figure 6. FGC100 Control Unit - Front
Turn the control unit on using the on/off switch (on the left)
Press the LED on/off push button to turn on the lamp unit
The temperature indicator will be red initially and will turn to green after a few minutes when
the temperature of the lamp unit will be stabilized. However, wait at least 30 minutes before
using the FGC100.
The hour meter display the total time in which the LED in the lamp unit was on. After 75 hours,
the FGC100 (lamp unit and control unit) should be sent to Ophir for recalibration.
