fiber or a liquid light guide (LLG). The light sources within the AURA Light Engine are controlled by an onboard microprocessor operating Lumencor firmware accessed via one of two serial interfaces, USB/RS-232 or TCP. The user can enable or disable each source independently by serial commands as well as change the intensity of each source independently. -
Page 5: Precautions And Warnings

Do not press any buttons or insert any plugs during this time. 7. When the initiation sequence completes, “LUMENCOR” will flash on front display panel and then be replaced by a display showing the current light engine IP address, the internal temperature and the fan status. - Page 12 Notes: [1] The light output port incorporates an interlock circuit that disables light output unless a liquid light guide, optical fiber or custom fiber bundle is connected to the output port. Open interlock conditions are indicated by a red (●) ILK indicator in the control GUI (Figure 6, #9) [2] If the DC power supply remained energized after the the previous shut down, press the master power button to start.

filters associated with each are shown on the Certificate of Conformance (Figure 1) included with the shipping documents e-mailed by Lumencor to the customer. The Figure 7. 9X BNC-terminated breakout cable to certificate of conformance also shows full (100%) power enable TTL triggering (Lumencor p/n 29-10156). - Page 16 [1]. Internal bandpass filters are not user-exchangeable and changes require return of the light engine to Lumencor’s factory for service (see Section 8). Since changing bandpass filters will result in source output power changes, a new certificate of conformance will be provided as part of this service.
