DISCLAIMER
The Lambda HPX is a high-power LED illumination or light source device. The purpose of
the system is to be an illuminator for microscopes. No other use is recommended.
This instrument is designed for use in a laboratory environment. It is not intended, nor
should it be used in human experimentation or applied to humans in any way. This is not a
medical device.
Unless otherwise indicated in this manual or by Sutter Instrument Technical Support for
reconfiguration, do not open or attempt to repair the instrument.
Do not allow unauthorized and/or untrained operative to use this device.
Any misuse will be the sole responsibility of the user/owner and Sutter Instrument Company
assumes no implied or inferred liability for direct or consequential damages from this
instrument if it is operated or used in any way other than for which it is designed.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Electrical
Operate the Lambda HPX using 110 – 240 VAC., 50-60 Hz line voltage. This instrument
is designed for use in a laboratory environment that has low electrical noise and
mechanical vibration. Surge suppression is recommended at all times.
Fuse Replacement: Replace only with the same type and rating:
2 Amp, 250V, 5 x 20mm, Time Delay fuse (EIC 60127-2)
(Example: Bussmann GDC-2A or S506-2A (RoHS))
A spare fuse is located in the power input module.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire-related Injury
Always use the grounded power supply cord set provided to connect the system’s
power adapter to a grounded/earthed outlet (3-prong). This is required to protect you
from injury in the event that an electrical hazard occurs.
Do not disassemble the system. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
To prevent fire or shock hazard do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Electromagnetic Interference
To comply with FDA and CE electromagnetic immunity and interference standards; and to
reduce the electromagnetic coupling between this and other equipment in your lab always
use the type and length of interconnect cables provided with the unit for the interconnection
of its components (see the Technical Specifications appendix for more details).
Operational
Failure to comply with any of the following precautions may damage this device.

4
Operate only in a location where there is a free flow of fresh air on all sides.
NEVER ALLOW THE FREE FLOW OF AIR TO BE RESTRICTED.
This instrument is designed for operation in a laboratory environment (Pollution Degree
I) that is free from mechanical vibrations, electrical noise and transients.
DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE CABLES AND TUBING BETWEEN
THE HPX AND THE HIGH-POWER LED ASSEMBLY WHILE POWER IS ON.
Operate this instrument only according to the instructions included in this manual.
Do not operate if there is any obvious damage to any part of the instrument.
Do not operate this instrument near flammable materials. The use of any hazardous
materials with this instrument is not recommended and, if undertaken, is done so at the
users’ own risk.
Do not operate if there is any obvious damage to any part of the instrument.

Avoiding Physical Injury while Powered up and Emitting Light
WARNING
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE OUTPUT OF THE LIGHT
APERTURE OF THE HIGH-POWER LED ASSEMBLY! Always direct
the output of the light aperture into the microscope using the
appropriate adapters, directed away from anyone’s eyes, and not
directed toward any reflective surface.
INFRARED AND ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION: The infrared radiation (and
ultraviolet radiation) generated by this lamp can cause significant skin burns and eye
damage.
Avoiding Physical Injury and Equipment Damage while Using High-Power LED
WARNING
Before removing the High-Power LED Assembly from the HPX
controller, make certain that the system is powered down. To
maximize LED life, run the system for five minutes with the LED off
before disconnecting the cooling hoses.
Other
Retain the original packaging for future transport of the instrument.
Sutter Instrument reserves the right to change specifications without prior notice.
This device is intended only for research purposes.
