Other than a bulb replacement, there are no user-serviceable parts inside the EQ-99-FC. For any problems encountered during operation, please contact Energetiq Technology for assistance. If there is a component failure, do not attempt to open the Power Supply Controller or Lamp House enclosure of the EQ-99-FC.

The interlock circuit must be connected to enable the operation of the unit. Should the interlock connection open during operation or standby, the source is immediately disabled, and all light output from the aperture ceases.

Connection to DC power is required for operation. Connection to nitrogen purge gas is optional, but recommended for best performance. See Chapter 3 for connection details. EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2 Energetiq Ex. 2060, page 14 - IPR2015-01375...

Provides access to control and status signals. See Chapter 3 for pin assignments and functions. This is the only operator interface to the EQ-99-FC – there are no local controls. Energetiq offers the EQ-99-RC Remote Control Module which connects to the Input/Output connector and provides a means of local control.

Provides broadband optical output using a standard SMA connector. Energetiq recommends the use of an Energetiq-supplied fiber for the broadband output. These fibers are able to withstand the very high power density of deep UV radiation that is generated by the EQ-99-FC, thus giving best longevity and performance.
Use care when unpacking to avoid damaging the armored fiber optic cable. If any part is missing or appears damaged, contact Energetiq immediately. Do not attempt to substitute any parts. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the EQ-99-FC Lamp House or Power Supply Controller unit.

20 psig (0.14 MPa). With a 20 psig inlet pressure, the EQ-99-FC will consume approximately 1 slm of flow. There is no return fitting for the purge nitrogen. The purge flow normally escapes within the Lamp House enclosure, and then to atmosphere. EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2 Energetiq Ex. 2060, page 23 - IPR2015-01375...

This is done to minimize the possibility of debris or particles contaminating the end of the laser fiber. Energetiq strongly recommends leaving the laser fiber connected, unless it is necessary to disconnect it for installation or routing of the laser fiber. If the laser fiber must be disconnected, apply SMA caps immediately to both ends, and follow directions on inspection and cleaning of the laser fiber described in Chapter 5.

Install the supplied 15-pin cable from the Power Supply Controller to the EQ-99-RC. 10. Connect 12VDC input power source to the Power Supply Controller. The system is now ready to operate. EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2 Energetiq Ex. 2060, page 29 - IPR2015-01375...
To turn the LAMP off, simply turn the OPERATE Switch to the OFF position. If the lamp will not be used for some time, the 12VDC supply can be turned off. EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2 Energetiq Ex. 2060, page 30 - IPR2015-01375...

To minimize wear on the ignition components, it is best to avoid frequently starting and stopping the lamp. It is recommended to run the lamp continuously if long off-periods are not required. EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2 Energetiq Ex. 2060, page 31 - IPR2015-01375...
Fiber Cleaning Basics: • The LDLS laser fiber connector is carefully inspected and is clean prior to shipment. Energetiq strongly recommends leaving the laser fiber connected, unless necessary for installation or routing of the laser fiber. • Leave Laser Fiber SMA connected whenever possible.
