The unit must be operated in a non- condensing environment (dew point <10ºC with controlled ambient temperature <30º...
  • Page 11 SPECTRA light engines have bandpass filters associated with each light source. These filters are part of the order specification and are not user-exchangeable. SPECTRA X light engines have user- exchangeable filters installed in removable paddles which the user can access once the top cover retained by two thumb screws is removed (Figure 3).
