Page 5: General Information
T-cubes connected to the hub. Also, the compact 8-way TPS008 power supply unit is available from Thorlabs to power up to 8 LEDD1Bs or other T-Cube Drivers from a single mains outlet. This power supply unit is also de- signed to take up minimal space and can be mounted on the optical table in close proximity to the driver units, connected via short power leads. -
Page 6: Safety
If necessary, ask for replacement packaging. Refer servicing to qualified personnel! Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single components be made or com- ponents not supplied by Thorlabs be used. All modules must only be operated with proper shielded connection cables. Improper grounding... - Page 7 Mercury Vapor lamps, the same precautions should be taken as those applying to Mercury Va- por lamps. When Thorlabs High Power LED's are used in other applications, they should be used in accor- dance with CEI IEC 62471. During normal operation, the housing temperature of Thorlabs High Power LED products will rise by up to 25°C (45°F) above ambient temperature.

2. Remove the backing paper from the rubber feet (supplied) taking care not to touch the ex- posed adhesive surface. 3. Position the feet as desired, then press and hold for a few seconds until the adhesive has bonded. 4. The unit may now be used freestanding, sitting on its rubber feet. © 2018 Thorlabs... -

5V represents maximum LED current. All values in between correspond to the accord- ing LED current. The LED current can be arbitrary modulated, i.e. sine wave modulation. Control Knob Used to switch on the unit, and to adjust the intensity of the associated LED when operating in CW mode. © 2018 Thorlabs... -

10. If a pulsed signal is applied, the LED is switched on and off like a strobe effect. 11. Turn off the external voltage source. 12. Turn the control knob fully counterclockwise to turn off the unit OFF. © 2018 Thorlabs... -
Page 13: Modulation Mode
7. Increase the voltage from 0 to 5V and notice how the LED brightness increases accord- ingly. 8. If a modulated signal is applied, the LED is modulated accordingly. 9. Turn off the external voltage source. 10. Turn the control knob fully counterclockwise to turn the unit OFF. © 2018 Thorlabs... -
Page 14: Maintenance And Service
If a malfunction occurs, please first refer to Troubleshooting . If you cannot resolve the issue by yourself, please contact Thorlabs for return instructions. 4.1 Troubleshooting Warning Do not apply a negative voltage or a voltage greater than 5V to the MOD IN connector! The LEDD1B driver was designed for operation of high brightness LEDs, which can handle for- ward currents of up to 1200mA. - Page 15 Check the current limit and adjust it if necessary. · The maximum current of the LEDD1B is 1200mA. ® The LEDD1B cannot drive a higher current than 1200mA through a LED. If using sev- eral LEDs parallel, connect them in series. © 2018 Thorlabs...

Page 18: Application Note
For this reason it is advantageous for fluorescence micro- scopy illumination. Thorlabs DC3100 and DC4100 LED drivers use this principle of operation. The disadvantage is the low efficiency of the linear current control: linear regulators waste en- ergy as they operate by dissipating excess power as heat. -
Page 19: Pulse Width Modulation
In such a design the heat dissipation is reduced to a minimum. Thorlabs DC2100 LED Driver is based on this approach. The disadvantage of this method is the use of more, often expensive components and the re- quirement for more space than conventional constant current linear or switching drivers. -
