OFF position.
CAUTION!: Never disconnect the power cord form the product before
switching the ON/OFF switch on back panel to OFF position
8. For TTL input connect BNC cable to TTL input connector on back of unit. To enable
TTL control change the position of the TTL Int/Ext switch to Ext position.
9. For Analog Input connect BNC cable to Ain input connector on back of unit. To
enable Analog Input control change the position of the Ain Int/Ext switch to Ext
position
CAUTION!: Do not cover back panel of unit - ensure that air can circulate
freely.

3.6 Cleaning
Keep the Light Guide connector port clear from dirt and do not leave it open. Make sure
to close the Light Guide port with a cap when the Light Guide is not connected.
CAUTION!: Do not try to clean inside the port –you may damage the
illuminator!
The box can be wiped with mild wet-wipes.
CAUTION!: Do not attempt to use chemicals, e.g. Alcohol or Acetone –
you may damage plastic components
