Page 5: Introduction
1. Introduction The EQ-400 Laser-Driven Light Source (LDLS®) is a broad-band lamp system for use in a wide variety of applications. The lamp produces high brightness, broad-band light from deep ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths through visible and beyond. The output is very stable and has a long lifetime before any service is required. A simple control interface ensures ease of use. -

5. EQ-400 Operation 5.1. Startup Once the lamp is set up properly, verify that all personnel that will be in contact with the lamp system are aware of the potential hazards involved. It is the responsibility of the user to verify that the lamp is being used safely and to consult their laser safety officer for safety measures specific to their use of the source. -
Page 17: Troubleshooting Guide
If there is a component failure, do not attempt to open the Controller or Lamp enclosure of the EQ- 400. Any service to the system must be performed only by factory authorized and trained technicians. To avoid injury, under no circumstances should the user open or modify the Lamp or Controller enclosure. 7. -
