Page 6: Safety
M94011A ® Oriel LCS-100 Small Area Sol1A SAFETY SUMMARY OF HAZARDS The hazards encountered in the operation of these illuminator systems are: Radiation Lamp explosion Ozone Electrical shock Heat The interlock system is designed for your safety. Do not defeat the interlocks. UV AND VISIBLE RADIATION The high intensity UV and VIS radiation of the lamp can permanently damage the cornea, lens, and retina of the eye, even causing blindness. -
Page 7: Ozone
M94011A ® Oriel LCS-100 Small Area Sol1A 4. Attach a cover plate over the output port of any illuminator that will be used without the output enclosed, before operation. OZONE Shortwave ultraviolet radiation photolyses oxygen to produce ozone - O Relatively low concentrations of ozone can cause nasal dryness and a burning sensation in the throat, headaches, nausea, and irritation of the mucous membranes. -
Page 8: Emi
M94011A ® Oriel LCS-100 Small Area Sol1A The 94011A(-ES) housing contains EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) under normal operating conditions. However, ignition of an arc lamp requires high voltage pulses to break the lamp down and a high current dump (10’s of Amps discharge) to sustain the arc. Arc lamp ignition creates significant electromagnetic energy. -
Page 9: General Cautions
M94011A ® Oriel LCS-100 Small Area Sol1A To avoid fire hazard, use only the specified fuse(s) with the correct type number, voltage and current ratings as referenced in the appropriate locations in the service instructions or on the equipment. Only qualified service personnel should replace fuses. ... - Page 10 This symbol indicates a burn hazard arising from elevated temperatures. European Union CE Mark The presence of the CE Mark on Newport Corporation equipment means that it has been designed, tested and certified as complying with all applicable European Union (CE) regulations and recommendations.

Page 12: Unpacking And Assembling The System
The preferred mounting configuration for the illuminator is mounted to an optical table or breadboard type of mount plate using the Newport Model 75 Mounting Rod. This rod has 4 mount holes that are spaced to be compatible with inch and metric (25mm) holes. This rod provides the quickest approach to fine-tune the height while maintaining rotational and planar alignment with the work plane. -
