0. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this TAKHI light source from Pyroistech.SL. This document
describes the TAKHI light source and provides you with instructions for its correct
operation. Please do not hesitate to contact us through [email protected] if you
have any questions or doubts about this manual.
The TAKHI series comprises high power halogen light sources with a spectrum that
range from VIS to NIR (350-2250nm). They are conceived as user friendly, compact tools
and being ideal for spectroscopy and general optical fiber illumination applications. These
light sources have been designed to obtain a high coupling efficiency to optical fiber
through a SMA connector.

1. Technical Specifications
Pyroistech counts with 2 models of its TAKHI halogen light source: TAKHI-HP (more
powerful) and TAKHI MP (longer lifetime). The specifications of both models are:
*Please note that both spectra look similar as the spectrum of each halogen light source has been
scaled by dividing by the corresponding maximum. Each of the 3 parts of the spectrum has been
measured with a different detector. Remark that the total output power is not same, and differences
can also be observed between the spectral power distribution of the 2 models.

2. Operation
2.1 Package Content
•Requested TAKHI light source
•Power source: input 100 - 240 V~, 50 - 60 Hz; output 12 V, 5.5 A;
99 x50 x33 cm, cord length 1.5 m.
•Power cord 1.85 m long
•User’s manual
Inspect carefully the devices and make sure there is no damage. On the contrary, do
not employ the light source and please contact us through i[email protected]m for
repair or replacement information.
2.2 Operating instructions
Insert the plug of the power cord into the power supply and connect the power cord
to the power outlet. Then, introduce the plug of the power supply into the light source
power input (DC female type).
Unscrew the cap of the SMA 905 connector on the front face of the light source and
connect the fibre cable. Always do this step before turning on the light source.
Finally, turn on the light source (MODE control switch to the ‘ON’ position) and wait
for 25 minutes until the light source reaches the thermal equilibrium and the output
power is stabilized. Now, the TAKHI light source is ready to be used.
In order to turn off the light source, move the switch to the ‘OFF’ position.

3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning of the output connector
The output connector of the light source should be periodically cleaned employing
compressed air to remove the dust. It is recommended to have the output connector with
the cap on it whenever the light source is not being used. The connector of the fiber used
with the light source also has to be clean to ensure the best possible performance.

3.2 Light bulb replacement
To replace the light bulb when it has ended its life cycle, the following process must be
done carefully.
2) Remove the screws using an allen key
Nº2.5 and remove the top cover carefully
without pulling the fan cables.
4) Carefully remove the bulb using
tweezers. Install the new bulb (*) without
touching it with bare hands. To reassemble,
repeat the process in reverse order.
3) Remove the screws using an allen key
Nº2in order to have access to the inner
box cover.
1) Disconnect the power source. Wait for
the light source to cool down if it is hot.
(*) To ensure maximum output power, the light bulb must be carefully aligned with
SMA 905 connector.

4. Important Notes
Before operation
•Do not remove or alter any installed safety device on this equipment. Doing so will
cancel your warranty and create an unsafe operating environment.
•There are NO user serviceable parts inside. Dangerous currents are present in this
device. Only allow qualified personnel to service this unit.
•Inspect this unit and its power supply before using it for the first time. Do not use the
unit if it is damaged in any way. Contact us for repair or replacement information.
During operation
•Do not cover the source or obstruct the air flow for its refrigeration. Avoid exposure to
direct sun light. A rise in the light source’s temperature could affect its operation or even
damage its components.
•The equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment should be observed to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
Eye safety
•Non visible infrared light can be hazardous depending on total system configuration
(including, but not limited to optics, drive current and temperature). Observe safety
precaution given in IEC 62471 when operating these light sources.
•Optical radiation can damage your eyes.
Do NOT stare directly at the light beam.
•The output connector of the light source may get
hot during operation. After its employment, allow
enough time to cool down before handling.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
•Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables
and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of
this equipment. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could
result.
•The use of cables, power supplies, transformers and accessories other than those
specified by Pyroistech S.L., in addition to not being covered by the warranty, may lead
to increased emissions and/or decreased electromagnetic compatibility.
