Caution
You are cautioned that any change or modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.
2.1. Precautions
2.1.1. Power Sources
Before operating the product, check that the operating voltage is
identical to your local power supply. See specific descriptions for
operating voltages.
To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the
cord.
AC power cord must be replaced with IEC compatible cord.
2.1.2. Operation
Before connecting to fiber optic components, be sure that all power connections
are secure.
2.1.3. Cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

User Guide 1
Location-Specific Power Cord 1
3.2. Setup Overview
3.2.1. Electrical Power Supply
1. Turn off the power to the OSL2IR before making any connections.
2. Do not connect the AC power cord to the local power supply until the
connections are completed to the OSL2IR.
3. Be sure to make the connections firmly.
4. Be sure that the OSL2IR operating voltage matches the “local” power
supply.
3.2.2. Fiber Bundle and Light Output Port
The included OSL2FB fiber bundle can be connected to the OSL2IR light source
for easy control and placement of the illumination. Additionally, the fiber bundle
adapter can be removed from the output port of the OSL2IR. Unscrew the fiber
bundle adapter to expose the internal SM1 (1.035"-40) threads. This threaded
output port can be used for a variety of free space applications. See Section 4.1
for details on the location of the output port and operating controls of the OSL2IR.

Chapter 4 Physical Description
4.1. Front Panel Light Source Descriptions
The following components are numbered to correspond with Figure 1, below.
1. Variable Intensity Controller (0 to 100%)
2. On/Off rocker Switch
3. Light Output Port
4. LED Indicator (Indicates lamp temperature status). The LED will be green
when the lamp temperature is normal. If the lamp overheats it will turn to
red and power to the lamp will be shut. Once the lamp has cooled down,
the LED will return to green and the lamp will resume normal operation.

Chapter 5 Lamp Replacement
5.1. Lamp Replacement Instructions
1. To replace the lamp, shut off the power and remove the power cord from
the AC outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
2. Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool. Caution: Lamp and surfaces may
be extremely hot after operation.
3. Pull the paddle latch handle to open the bulb cover.
4. Remove the bulb socket and carefully pull the bulb out from the bulb
bracket.
5. Insert the replacement bulb into the bracket, pressing firmly to ensure it
is safely seated.
6. Connect the socket with the bulb and close the cover. It will automatically
latch closed.
