Using the Filters

When installing emission filters in the system, the user should note the location of the
emission filter selector knob located on the front of the system (pictured below).
To change to a different filter, turn the filter selector knob to the desired location. Ensure that
the knob clicks into place to verify that the filter is positioned correctly.

Using the Transilluminator

To use the UV transilluminator or LED White Light Plate, ensure that the components are
plugged into the system (see "Connecting the Power Cables").
Using the power switches located on the front of the unit, select either White Light: Trans or
Ultraviolet: Trans depending upon application. When using the UV transilluminator, ensure
that the green power switch on the front of the transilluminator unit is in the ON position.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to use both the White Light and Ultraviolet transillumination sources simulta-
neously as system damage may occur.
For UV light protection and to extend the life of the UV transilluminator, there is a ten-minute
transilluminator UV Timer installed in the system. See "UV Timer" for more information.
Refer to the Transilluminator manual for additional instructions on using the transilluminator.

Using the Overhead (Epi) Lighting

To operate the built-in overhead white light, use the power switch located on the front of the
unit to select White Light: Epi.
To operate the optional overhead (epi) UV illumination, ensure that the optional UV handheld
lamps are plugged into the back of the darkroom interior and are mounted to the brackets at
the top of the darkroom. Also ensure that the power switches, located on the handheld lamps,
are in the ON position. Use the power switch located on the front of the system to select
