  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. Introduction Lumencor AURA light engines are designed for laboratory use by bioanalytical researchers and/or developers of bio- optical instrumentation. The AURA provides 2, 3, 4, or 5 individually controllable solid state light sources that have been optimized to produce spectrally discrete spectral outputs.
  • Page 5 Warning: ONLY use the power supply provided by Lumencor. The Lumencor-supplied 24 VDC, 9.2 A external power supply is required for use with the AURA light engine. It is imperative that the DC power supply has output over-current protection, as the power input of the AURA is not fused. The DC power supply must have the AC power cord connected to a receptacle with a protective safety (earth) ground terminal.

    3. A 6ft AC power cord for the power supply (for North American customers, Lumencor part no. 29-10002, for UK customers, Lumencor part no. 29-10004 and for European customers, Lumencor part no. 29-10005). 4. A USB A-to-RS232 cable (Lumencor part no. 29-10011) or USB B (M) to USB A (M) cable (Lumencor part no. 29-10058)
  • Page 7 The AURA can be controlled via serial commands delivered through the RS-232 port from the Lumencor light engine control pod accessory (83-10007), a Windows GUI (free download from www.lumencor.com) or via customer- supplied instrumentation control software.

  • Page 9 [1] On some AURA models, the port is USB B and the connecting cable is USB B (M) to USB A (M). [2] The identity of the source outputs corresponding to control channels 1–5 differs among AURA light engine models. If you are unsure of the correspondence, please contact our Technical Support Group (see Section 7).
  • Page 10 These can be conveniently addressed using an accessory BNC breakout cable (Lumencor part no. 29-10015 or 29-10080) connected to the front panel DB15 port (Figure 3). As a safeguard against unintended light output when the inputs are initially connected, the TTL port is disabled and must be enabled by a serial command.

  • Page 11: Spectral Output

    The spectral output of AURA light engines depends on the configuration of color channels installed and the bandpass filters associated with each channel. Two typical examples are shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. Output spectra for 4-channel AURA light engines AURA Light Engine Instruction Manual...

    In the event that the light engine is sold, the certificate of conformance should be transferred to the new owner. Certificates of conformance are also recorded in Lumencor’s database and copies can be requested by e-mail to techsupport@lumencor.com.
