6. SETUP AND OPERATION
6.1 Device Setup
Place the Illuminator on a stable surface such as a cart, counter, stand, etc.
WARNING: DO NOT use the device in any environment with explosive or flammable gases.
WARNING: Avoid placing the device in an area where the illuminator may be splashed with liquids.
WARNING: DO NOT obstruct the exhaust or cooling vents of the illuminator. User must ensure that
environment air temperatures surrounding the unit are within the allowable limits.
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
Connect AC power cord to the appliance inlet located on the rear panel of the light source.
CAUTION: Use only power cords provided with the unit or cables approved for medical use.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, connect power cords of peripheral equipment through medical
isolation transformers.
NOTE: When using a medical isolation transformer, ensure that the transformer has sufficient power
ratings. Ensure that the power cord is connected to mains power with a three-prong plug.
Connect a fiberoptic light guide to the topmost position of the rotating turret, ensuring that the
fiberoptic end tip type matches the accepting port.
NOTE: The illuminator has a light guide sensing feature in which the main illumination LED will not turn-
on until a light guide is connected to the console.
6.2 Operation
After the power cable and light guide are properly connected, turn on the illuminator by pressing
the mains power switch located on the front panel. The power indicator light within the switch should
illuminate.
NOTE: Upon startup, the illuminator will default to minimum illumination brightness.
STANDBY Button
Activates or deactivates STANDBY mode. STANDBY mode allows the user to turn the main
LED ON or OFF while the unit is still energized.
Press and HOLD for at least one second for this operation.
Light Intensity Control and Display
The light intensity may be controlled by repeatedly pressing the up or down buttons located on
the front panel until the desired brightness is reached.
The intensity level is depicted by the LCD tile display. Each fully illuminated tile represents
approximately 10% of the available light intensity.
Data Ports
There are three DATA transfers ports located on the rear panel: USB Type A, USB Type B,
and a RS-232 Serial Port. These ports allow communications between the illuminator and other
monitoring or controlling equipment.
For technical information concerning the DATA ports or assistance, please contact Customer
