OPERATION
Do not open the unit or its individual components.
The potentiometer wheel (2) is used to control the brightness. Please note that
the current level in fluences not only the brightness, but also the service life of
the LEDs.
The approximate potentiometer wheel setting can be read from the scale on the
wheel.
Standard control unit
The LED illumination unit can be switched on
(I: On; 0: Off) using the switch located on the
control unit (1).

Segment control unit (40 LEDs)
Press (19) to turn on the control unit. Segments
can be selected using (17), which can be
rotated clockwise using (13) and anticlockwise
using (19). Pressing down (13) rotates the seg-
ments automatically in a clockwise direction
(AR...Autorotation), briefly press (13) again to
18 17 2 13 19
stop autorotation. Holding down (19) for longer
switches off the control unit and saves the
current setting.
Set-up mode:
Holding down buttons (13) + (19) simultaneously takes one into the set-up
mode, where the following settings can be made (This mode is indicated by a
flashing upper LED on the left):
1/8 Segment size: Press (17) to switch from 1/4 segment size (lower left LED
OFF) to 1/8 segment size (lower left LED ON).
1/8 Segment increment: Press (13) to switch from 1/4 segment increment (lower
right LED OFF) to 1/8 segment increment (lower right LED ON).
Activation mode = Start up upon application of supply voltage:
Pressing (19) switches from activation mode OFF (= Safety mode, upper right
LED OFF) to activation mode ON (= Multipoint connector mode, upper right
LED ON). In this mode, the most recently saved segments light up immedia-
tely after the supply voltage is applied.
Holding down the buttons (13) + (19) simultaneously terminates Set up mode
and saves the current state.
Although this control unit is only designed for 40 LEDs, it is possible to operate
for example a RL66/40 on Port A and a backlight with 40 LEDs on Port B, albeit
with the following limitations (this also applies to the standard control unit):
The luminance diminishes as the control unit has to operate 80 LEDs.
It is possible that the luminance of the LED products on Port A and B dimi-
nish at a different rate.
It is possible that the brightness of single segments (groups with 5 LEDs)
differ.
Segment control unit for LED RL66/80 (80 LEDs)
This control unit looks identical to the "Segment control unit (40 LEDs)" and its
operation is identical. The difference lies in the fact that you can ONLY plug in
the LED RL66/80 with 80 LEDs ONLY into Port A and Port B must remain free.
With this control unit, the Ports A and B are not compatible with the Ports A
and B on the segment control unit (40 LEDs).
HiPower spot control unit
Connect one or two LED spots to port 1 and 2
(14) of the control unit. Connect low voltage
cable (9) to control unit (3) and apply mains
power to the power supply unit provided. Use
only the power supply provided with the con-
trol unit, which has a matching output voltage,
as power supply voltage and power ratings
15 16

may vary for other types of control units.
Caution: Use of unsuitable power sources can cause damage to both
control unit and LED spots. Always use the control unit supplied to
operate the LED spots.
With the brightness control (2) the desired brightness can be set. Using the
push button (15) the following modes can be selected: "both ports on" – "port 2
on and 1 off" – "port 1 on and 2 off" – "both ports off". The LED spot connected
to port 1 is toggled on and off alternately with each push of the button, so pref-
erably use port 1 when working with only one LED spot. The indicator LEDs (16)
show the currently selected mode of operation for port 1 and 2.

Up to 2 HiPower spots and 1 LED product with 40 LEDs (e.g. Ringlight 66/40
or backlight) can be connected to this control unit. It can be used as a table
mounted device or with special microscopes by fastening it to the column by
means of the screw included.
Normal mode:
Switch on the HiPower spots with button (15) and also switch between the
ports (Port1/Port2/both). Similarly, switch the ringlight on with button (17)
and then switch the segment image. The active segments can be rotated using
button (13). Holding down the buttons (15) or (17) deactivates the HiPower
spots or Port A respectively and pressing them briefly switches them on again.
If the power supply has not been disconnected in the meantime, the last state
set appears after switching it on, otherwise all the ports/segments are illu-
minated. The potentiometer wheel (2) sets the brightness for all three ports
simultaneously.
Memory mode:
Make the desired adjustments in normal mode first and then hold down the
buttons (13) and (17) for a few seconds at the same time. Memory mode is
indicated by x3 blinking. Apart from the brightness setting, no other set-
tings can be undertaken in this mode. Holding down the button (15) or (17)
de activates it, while pressing the same button briefly switches it on.
The way the device behaves when it is switched on in the event of disconnec-
tion from supply can be set by holding down the button (13). Switch it as often
as required until the desired state is achieved (ON or OFF). It can be switched
between: "Memory fluorescent pattern ON" or "OFF" when the supply is
connected. This can be practical if the control unit is switched off by discon-
necting the supply and is meant to illuminate again automatically after supply
reconnection or is intentionally meant to remain switched off.
To exit memory mode, press buttons (13) and (17) for a couple of seconds,
indicated by x2 blinking.
