  • Page 9: Introduction

    1.2 Description Figure 1-1. Lambda HPX-L5 indicators, controls, and connectors. The Lambda HPX-L5 is liquid light guide coupled version of the Lambda HPX high-output LED light source (illuminator). The liquid light guide allows for LED cooling via an internal heatsink with a whisper fan, thus requiring less maintenance than the liquid-cooled direct- mount version.

  • Page 10: Technical Support

    The Lambda HPX-L5 is optimized for coupling to an optional 5mm liquid light guide, and off- the-shelf microscope adapter. The HPX is expected to retain 95% of its original output at 5,000 hours, and 80% after 10,000 hours. Because LEDs exhibit color shift with current change, the Lambda HPX was designed to dim the LED using either PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) or current control.

    2. Plug power cable into the mains outlet. 3. In the typical application, the collimated light output of the Lambda HPX-L5 is focused onto the input end of a liquid light guide. The lamp’s integral cold mirror allows the beam to be focused without danger to the light guide.

    4. The Analog-IN and/or TTL-IN connections can be made to an external signaling source at stage if desired. Once all connections have been verified, the system is ready to be turned on. LAMBDA HPX-L5 OPERATION MANUAL – REV. 1.03 (20161130)

    Note that because the OFF position of the LED switch is located in between ON and TTL, the lamp turns off while traversing the OFF position when switching from ON to TTL. LAMBDA HPX-L5 OPERATION MANUAL – REV. 1.03 (20161130)

    LED is on, TTL-OUT is held low the duration that the LED is on. 3.4 Fault Conditions The Lambda HPX-L5 is equipped with a temperature monitor to maximize the life of the LED. Should a fault occur, the screen turns red and the lamp is automatically turned off. If the screen turns red, and the text is unchanged, the LED temperature has exceeded its safe operating temperature.

    4. MAINTENANCE 4.1 Routine Maintenance Routine cleaning of the Lambda HPX-L5 system is required to prevent excessive dust accumulations. Wipe all exterior surfaces with a dry, soft, cotton cloth. Periodically inspect all cables ensuring that all connections are made well and connectors are evenly seated.
