CAUTION: Before using the illuminator, please make sure that
it is free of all packing material.
Light Guides
Insert the end of the light guide (sold separately) into the
receptacle in the front panel of the Illuminator. Use the setscrew on
the side of the receptacle to fix it in a position.
Operation
The lamp is turned ON by using the red power switch on the right
side of the front panel. It activates the cooling fan as well.
Controls
The MSI-150 features both electronic and mechanical light control.
There are two corresponding control knobs on the front panel of
the light module.
Aperture diaphragm control
The larger of the concentric knobs controls the aperture
diaphragm. This changes the light output of the Optic Illuminator
by mechanically restricting the light coupled to the light guide.
Rotating the aperture diaphragm knob changes the light intensity
but keeps the color temperature constant. The maximum light
intensity is achieved at the furthermost clockwise position.
Electronic Control
The smaller knob controls the current of the light source. When the
current passing through the lamp is changed the light intensity is
also changed but the color temperature of the lamp is changed as
well. The maximum color temperature of about 3350°C is achieved
at the furthermost clockwise position.
Note: In experiments where the color temperature must remain
constant during the duration of the experiment the Aperture
diaphragm control must be used to change the intensity of light.
Lamp-life extension switch
The Hi/Lo switch is used to restrict the lamp voltage. By setting it
on “Lo” the output is limited by three to four volts, extending the
lamp life.
Filter holder
Double filter holder is located in the light guide receptacle. It
accepts two 20 mm OD by 2 mm thick filters.
Service
Lamp replacement
The slide-out lamp module holds either an EJA or EKES lamp. To
change the lamp, unplug the unit, and follow the instructions
below:
1. Press the button on the receptacle, and pull the drawer straight
out.
2. Press back the wire lever, located to the left of the lamp, with a
steady, gentle force. This causes the lamp to glide up from its
holder. Remove the lamp from the socket.
3. Hold the new lamp in one hand using a Kimwipe to prevent any
oil residues on the lamp surface, which will decrease the
lifetime of the lamp. Firmly push the lamp socket onto the two
lamp pins until the socket contacts the glass base of the lamp
(failure to fully insert the socket could cause premature socket
failure).
4. Be sure that the short wire lever is in its’ original, forward
position, then gently – but firmly – press the lamp into the lamp
holder until it seats all the way down.
5. Slide the drawer back into the housing, and snap it closed.
Fuse breaker
The MSI-150 uses a three-amp fuse breaker, which can be reset if
necessary.
