The Lambda LS is a stand-alone xenon arc lamp and power supply system that is
equipped with a SmartShutter
The system consists of a xenon-arc lamp, lamp housing, cold mirror, SmartShutter
and power supply. The Lambda LS is designed for use with a liquid light guide that
transmits flat, intense illumination to the optical train of the GeneTitan
The Lambda LS xenon arc lamp illuminator system is installed by a qualified field
service engineer and placed near the scanner. The lamp system must not be placed on
the floor. Do not move the lamp system after installation.

CAUTION! The liquid light guide is a fragile fiber optic cable. Do not kink or
bend the cable to less than 6 inches (15.25 cm) radius. Do not place objects on
the light guide.
The Lambda SC is a microprocessor-controlled shutter driver for the SmartShutter
device in the Lambda LS. It offers enhanced performance that allows programmable
control over the exposure time, the delay between exposures, the number of
exposures, the mode of triggering, and the mode of shutter opening.
IMPORTANT! Always keep the Manual Shutter Control switch in the AUTO position.
