6.1. Product Description
Congratulations on the purchase of the LLS 3 LED Light Source, the state of the art in
light output and control, utilizing a simplified user interface with versatile remote control
abilities. The LLS 3 is compatible with all standard COLDVision Series light guides.
Optimal performance is achieved when coupled with larger bundle diameters, 9-14mm.
The LLS 3 (A20970) was initially available in White with two different color temperature
options, Cool (6,000 K) and Warm (3,100 K). The flagship Cool White model boasts
light output equal to 150W DDL Halogen lamp levels. With the latest product updates, a
number of wavelengths including red, green, and blue are now available on the LLS 3
platform. Solutions with other wavelengths can be produced to match specific customer
application requirements, even in the non-visible UV and IR ranges.
The LLS 3 has several advanced features including:
•Various remote control abilities: Ethernet, RS-232, and analog 0-5V
•Triggered strobe up to 1 kHz
•Auto sensing inputs with front control lockout via Ethernet and RS-232
The Triggered Strobe Mode allows for overdriving the LED for a brief, controlled period.
The strobe intensity can be up to 200% of the Normal Mode intensity. Strobe on time
and delay time are adjustable via Ethernet and RS-232 commands. The strobe pulse
triggered polarity can be adjusted by the position of the polarity switch on the rear panel
of the unit.
Auto sensing inputs allows for the light source to automatically switch between the
various means of control (front panel intensity control knob, Ethernet, RS-232, and
remote analog 0-5V) without the need to specify the control mode in advance. The light
source senses which control interface is active and automatically uses that interface to
adjust the light intensity. In addition, the front control interface can be locked out via
Ethernet or RS-232 commands. The Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces also provide
continuous monitoring of LED temperature and light source status.
The LLS 3 is an intelligent light source that allows unparalleled flexibility. The LLS 3
can be configured to remember its operating state when power is removed and restores
the state when power is re-applied. This feature can be toggled on or off through
Ethernet and RS-232 commands. It is also possible to restore the light source to a pre-
determined state when a control system dictates, utilizing a single command.
The RS-232 and Ethernet demo program/software can be downloaded from the
website or obtained from sales/customer service. Please contact us for updates.
