Regulatory Models Lumencor utilizes regulatory model names for all certified and CE marked products. The regulatory model names are traceable to all regulatory documentation, third party reports and certifications. “Regulatory Model: Aura III” is used as a representative model for all certified and CE marked Gen III AURA products.
1. Introduction The AURA Light Engine consists of 3 to 5 individually addressable solid-state light sources with integrated electronic control systems. The constituent light sources may be LEDs or luminescent light pipes. The outputs of the constituent light sources are refined by bandpass filters and merged into a common optical train directed to the light output port on the front panel.
Warning: ONLY use the power supply provided by Lumencor. The Lumencor-supplied 24 VDC, 9.2 A external power supply is required for use with the AURA Light Engine. The Light Engine is required to be supplied by an approved/certified DC power source meeting the minimum electrical ratings of the product.

DISCLAIMER: Lumencor shall not be liable for injury to the user or damage to the product resulting from the AURA Light Engine being used in a way for which it was not intended and in complete disregard for any posted safety precautions and warnings.
3.1 Contents The AURA Light Engine ships with the following list of standard components: 1. The AURA Light Engine, configured with 3 to 5 output channels (colors) and an output adapter for connection to an SMA-terminated optical fiber or AC Power Cords a liquid light guide (LLG) as documented on the certificate of...

Output Coupler, verify all applicable safety and regulatory compliance requirements prior to use. When setting the AURA Light Engine up for use, place the power unit on a hard surface and avoid blocking or restricting input airflow at the air inlet (front panel; Figure 3) or exhaust ports (rear panel) on the enclosure.

Customers planning to connect multiple Light Engine remote interlocks together will need to contact Lumencor prior to integration. INTERCONNECTING LIGHT ENGINES OR USING THE REMOTE INTERLOCK INCORRECTLY CAN RESULT IN ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOR AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCTS. AVERTISSEMENT : Le verrouillage à distance repose sur un circuit de continuité passif pour un fonctionnement correct.

3.3.4 Control via Serial ports AURA Light Engine have two serial ports, labeled USB and RS-232 (Figure 3), which can be set to receive either LEGACY or STANDARD mode commands. Connection to the computer requires a USB-A-to-USB B cable (29-10058) or USB-to-RS-232 cable (29-10011).
Page 14
LEGACY mode and USB 5V is set to ENABLED. 4. The pod must be set in the AURA Light Engine control mode. The light engine control mode setting is shown in green letters at the bottom of the pod display screen. If the pod is not in the AURA Light Engine control mode, change the setting by holding down the MODE button on the pod until the light engine selection menu appears.
FWHM = full width at half-maximum transmission, both measure in nanometers (nm). Bandpass filters are not user- exchangeable and changes require return of the light engine to Lumencor’s factory for service (see Section 7). Since changing bandpass filters will result in source output power changes, a new certificate of conformance will be provided as part of this service.
(green), Cy5 (red), and Cy7(nIR). 5. Operational Specifications The AURA Light Engine must be operated and stored within the environmental conditions specified in the table below. Performance specifications for individual light engines are listed on the certificate of conformance included with the shipping documents e-mailed to the customer (see example shown in Figure 1).
No routine maintenance is required. There are no user-serviceable components or sub-assemblies in the AURA Light Engine. Opening the light engine enclosure will void the manufacturer’s warranty. In the event that the light engine fails to perform in accordance with the specifications listed on the certificate of conformance, please contact Lumencor Technical Support for assistance, as directed...
503-213-4269 or through e-, mail at techsupport@lumencor.com. Please be prepared to provide the 4- or 5-digit serial number of the light engine. Any light engine returned to Lumencor for repairs or upgrades requires a pre-issued return material authorization (RMA) number. To request an RMA number, fill out and submit the online request form.
8. Warranty The AURA Light Engine is backed by a 24 month warranty to end users. Warranty coverage starts on the original date of shipment from Lumencor. Light Engines qualifying for warranty service must be verifiably delivering performance that is substantially at variance with the levels documented in the certificate of conformance.
