DESCRIPTION General The TLS-EQ77H is a compact, highly stable tunable light source. It utilizes the Energetiq EQ-77 Laser Driven Light Source™ as a broadband light source. A monochromator is used to select the desired output wavelength. The monochromator output is fiber coupled to the TLS-EQ77H output.
The TLS-EQ77H system consists of a Power Supply Controller unit, Lamp House, Remote Control unit, Monochromator Power Supply (not shown), and interconnecting cables (not shown). The system incorporates the Energetiq EQ-77 Laser Driven Light Source™, a monochromator, and custom optics.

Power Input Connector This is a fused IEC 320 inlet connector for AC power input. Fuses are 5A 250V 5x20mm fast-acting type. Replace only with the same type. Lamp House Control Connector (21-pin mixed D-sub) Provides various power and control signals to/from the Lamp House module. No other connector or cable may be used with the TLS-EQ77H other than the one supplied.
Lamp House The Lamp House assembly contains: EQ-77 Lamphead Monochromator Optics Interface connectors External features (refer to Figure 3): Optical output connector SMA connector for light output. Nitrogen Purge Inlet / Outlet These are the fittings for the required nitrogen purge gas. Cooling Water Inlet / Outlet These fittings are for connection of cooling water required by the Lamp House.
1) I/O cable with 15 pin D- connector at each end 1) Monochromator power supply 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 TLS-EQ77H Lamp House.
Page 18
4. Connect nitrogen purge gas to the Lamp House. Clean and dry nitrogen from either a Dewar or research-grade N bottle is recommended. Do not use any other purge gas. Grade 6 or better gas purity is recommended to maintain cleanliness of the optics, and gas should be filtered to <5um.
Page 19
6. Connect the Remote Control Unit to the I/O connector on the Power Supply Controller using the supplied cable. The Remote Control Unit is shipped with an interlock jumper plug installed. To use the remote interlock function, connect a remote contact or solid-state switch across pins 1 and 3.

RS-485 Interface Connector J2 is a standard 9-pin male d-sub. Mating connector is a standard 9-pin female d- sub (for example, AMP part no. 205203-3 with contacts 1-66504-0). See Table 4 for pin connections. Port settings are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no handshaking. Description Pin # Details...
This is very unusual. However, if this occurs, turn the OPERATE switch to the OFF position (down) and begin at Step 1 again. If this occurs multiple times, contact Energetiq service Stopping 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 AC supply can be turned off.
Monochromator Interface The monochromator is controlled through its USB interface. A simple Windows application is available to communicate with the monochromator from a host PC, and control the basic functions of the instrument. To use the application: 1. Download the file "MH1034_Installer-Package_Aug-24-2016.zip" and extract the files to a new folder.
