Maintenance & Care for the CoolLED illumination system
1. Carefully unpack the components from the shipping cartons.
2. The CoolLED illumination system requires little or no maintenance throughout its life. There are no field service-
able parts so there is no need to remove the covers.
3. Cleaning of the external surfaces can be carried out with a mild soap and water solution used to lightly dampen a
lint-free cloth. Ensure that no liquid is allowed to enter the product through vents and panel edges.
Avoid optical surfaces.
4. Cleaning of optical surfaces maybe necessary if debris or finger prints accidentally come into contact with the
excitation filters during installation. In the first instance remove any loose debris with an air duster (aerosol or
rubber blower).
5. Finger prints or other liquid type contaminants should be removed using standard lens cleaning procedures.
Do not flood the optical surfaces with fluid as liquid could enter the product and cause damage.
Care of the light guide
The light guide is a fine, high quality optical instrument. The useful life can be prolonged by following these
simple guidelines.
1. Avoid stretching the light guide, forming configurations, involving sharp angels or kinks, or contact with sharp or
pointed objects. The internal light fibers are made of glass, a material that breaks under stress. Fiber breakage
will result in diminished light output.
2. Any inadvertent cut or puncture to the outer wall will render the light guide unsafe for use and must be taken
out of service immediately.
