1. Introduction
Lumencor AURA light engines are designed for laboratory use by bioanalytical researchers and/or developers of bio-
optical instrumentation. The AURA provides individually controllable solid state light sources that have been optimized to
produce spectrally discrete spectral outputs. The light sources within the AURA are controlled by a serial command
interface connecting to a computer running a Lumencor supplied GUI or a third party data acquisition software.
Alternatively, the light sources may be enabled by TTL inputs from a trigger device such as a camera. The user can
enable or disable each source independently (serial or TTL) and change the intensity of each source independently (serial
only).

Safety Items
{Mesures de sécurité}
:
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. It is imperative that the DC power supply has output over-
current protection, as the power input of the AURA is not fused. The DC power supply must have the AC power cord
connected to a receptacle with a protective safety (earth) ground terminal.
Avertissement: utiliser uniquement l'alimentation fournie par Lumencor.
Le Lumencor fourni 24 VDC/9.2 A
alimentation externe est recommandé pour une utilisation avec le moteur de lumière AURA. Il est impératif que
l'alimentation DC a la sortie protection contre les surintensités, que la puissance de l'AURA est pas fusionné.
