Prizmatix 1 Introduction The UHP-M LED is an Ultra High-Power Dual-LED light engine for fluorescence microscopy at visible and UV spectral bands. It is an effective replacement for spectral light sources such as mercury lamps. The LED driver supports CW operation and TTL triggering.
3 Setup of the device Remove the device from the packaging and inspect the device for loose components or any signs of damage. Notify Prizmatix if the device appears damaged in any way: do not install or operate a damaged device.

The UHP-M illuminator and its control units (Console and USB Interface) can be assembled on microscope in several various configurations as described in following figures. Figure 4: Basic On/Off - The most basic system comprising UHP-M head assembled on the epi-fluorescence port of microscope and connected to the power adaptor. In this configuration, the UHP-M mimics the standard Mercury lamp.

The UHP-M-Console control unit is connected to the UHP- M head. In this configuration the UHP-M power can be manually controlled by the user. The LED can be optionally synchronized with the camera by Trigger Out signal connected to TTL input on UHP-M head.

Figure 7: Software and user controllable: Most advanced configuration comprising a camera connected to computer, UHP-M-Console and UHP-M-USB (or UHP-M-RS232) control units connected to the UHP-M head. In this configuration the UHP-M power can be controlled either by software or manually. The LED can be optionally synchronized with the camera by Trigger Out signal connected to TTL input on UHP-M head.
F-mount, turn the grooved collar counterclockwise and release the lamp. 3. Carefully insert the UHP-M-LED into the lamp port and tighten the set screws (or collar in Nikon microscopes). 4. Observe the illumination. If needed adjust the UHP-M-LED axial focus by a Hex Key (2mm or 5/64").
2. Ensure proper orientation and connect the UHP-M-Console cable to the Rmt port on the UHP-M Main control and connections panel. 3. Connect the Power Adaptor cable to the 12VDC jack on the UHP-M Main control and connections panel. Set to correct orientation and press until it clicks into place.
You can adjust intensity by turning the dial clockwise or counter-clockwise. Clicking the UV pushbutton again, will toggle the UV LED off. 7. Each of these steps can be performed during the operation. 12 | P a g e UHP-M User Manual...
1. Adjustment of the Z placement of the collimating lens relative to the LED chip is done by slightly turning the Z-Adjust screws on the bottom of the UHP-M LED head using a 2mm or 5/64" Hex Key (see Figure 6 below). Note that the span of the screw motion is less than one full turn –...
• Switch the "TTL Enable" toggle switch to Ext position to enable the triggering • When TTL Enable switch is set to Ext the UHP-M-Console and / or UHP-M-USB or UHP-M- RS232 controllers are overridden. The controllers still enable power control and LED OFF functionality, but LED ON state will be executed ONLY when both controller and TTL are at HIGH state –...
LED and Current Controller! 4 Cleaning Keep the UHP-M LED illuminator head clear from dirt and do not leave it open. Make sure to close the output aperture of the illuminator with a cap when it is not in use.
