Avoid eye and skin exposure to UV light; never look directly into the light output beam.
Ensure secure attachment to microscope before powering on; use supplied power cords.
When not attached, personnel must wear eye shielding and protective clothing.
Use only supplied power supply and cord; plug in cable only after attachment.
The Light Source contains no user-serviceable parts; tampering voids safety.
Product conforms to EN/IEC 61010-1 and EN62471 (Photo-biological Safety).
Clean exterior with damp cloth; isolate DC power supply before cleaning optics.
Product tested to IEC/EN 61326-1 for electromagnetic compatibility (Class B).
Offers individual control of three channels via Control Pod, USB, or TTL.
The simplest model with global intensity control via the manual Control Pod.
Provides the greatest control with multi-channel sequencing via TTL and inline filters.
Carefully unpack all components and check for any missing or damaged items.
Instructions for connecting the Control Pod cable to the LED Light Source using alignment guides.
Connect the DC power supply connector, ensuring it's the supplied unit.
Maintain a 200 mm gap on sides for adequate airflow to the cooling system.
Connect the mains lead to a socket and the IEC connector to the power supply.
Displays spectral output graphs (SB and MB) showing relative irradiance vs. wavelength.
User control over three main emission peaks (UV, Blue, GYR) for pE-300white/ultra.
A variant shifting the first peak from UV to violet for multi-band filter sets.
Choice between SB and MB configurations with global intensity control for pE-300lite.
How to switch LEDs on and off using the dedicated 'on/off' button on the Control Pod.
The system reverts to the last powered-down settings upon startup.
Controlling individual LED intensities to balance different stains for optimal imaging.
Switching individual bands on or off (de-selecting) using the 'select' button.
Control on/off function globally via a TTL signal to the BNC socket.
Control individual channels using three additional BNC sockets on the pE-300ultra.
Sequential triggering of multiple channels using a single TTL signal via the Sequence Runner feature.
