KL 2500 LED – Operating instructions
When operating the light source the filter slide must always be engaged in one of the end positions
or in the rest position. This is the only way to guarantee optimum air cooling of the light source.
Safety information:
WARNING !
Operating the light source with the filter slide in an intermediate position can cause damage to the
slide.
Fitting the filter slide
Please ensure the filter slide (8) has cooled down before fitting the insert filter.
Completely pull out the filter slide (8) from the light source and slot the required filter from the filter
set into the provided holder, ensuring the filter is lying flat in the holder.
Push the filter slide as far as the stop to ensure the filter is positioned in the optical light path.
If you wish to operate the light source for a short time without a filter then only pull the slide out to
the first rest position. In this position the filter is still in the light source, but no longer in the light path.
