3.2. Setup Overview
3.2.1. Electrical Power Supply
1. Turn off the power to the OSL2 before making any connections.
2. Do not connect the AC power cord to the local power supply until the
connections are completed to the OSL2.
3. Be sure to make the connections firmly.
4. Be sure that the OSL2 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 OSL2 light source for
easy control and placement of the illumination. Additionally, the fiber bundle
adapter can be removed from the output port of the OSL2. 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 OSL2.

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.

Chapter 7 Certifications and Compliances
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that

High-Intensity Fiber Light Source Chapter 8: Regulatory
Page 9 Rev D, May 8, 2017
Chapter 8 Regulatory
As required by the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive)
of the European Community and the corresponding national laws, Thorlabs offers
all end users in the EC the possibility to return “end of life” units without incurring
disposal charges.
This offer is valid for Thorlabs electrical and electronic equipment:
Sold after August 13, 2005
Marked correspondingly with the crossed out
“wheelie bin” logo (see right)
Sold to a company or institute within the EC
Currently owned by a company or institute
within the EC
Still complete, not disassembled and not
contaminated
As the WEEE directive applies to self contained
operational electrical and electronic products, this end of
life take back service does not refer to other Thorlabs products, such as:
Pure OEM products, that means assemblies to be built into a unit by the
user (e.g. OEM laser driver cards)
Components
Mechanics and optics
Left over parts of units disassembled by the user (PCB’s, housings etc.).
If you wish to return a Thorlabs unit for waste recovery, please contact Thorlabs or
your nearest dealer for further information.
8.1. Waste Treatment is Your Own Responsibility
If you do not return an “end of life” unit to Thorlabs, you must hand it to a company
specialized in waste recovery. Do not dispose of the unit in a litter bin or at a public
waste disposal site.
8.2. Ecological Background
It is well known that WEEE pollutes the environment by releasing toxic products
during decomposition. The aim of the European RoHS directive is to reduce the
content of toxic substances in electronic products in the future.
The intent of the WEEE directive is to enforce the recycling of WEEE. A controlled
recycling of end of life products will thereby avoid negative impacts on the
environment.
