The model name, unique 4- or 5- digit serial number and 
certification markings of the light engine are carried on a 
label a

xed to the rear panel.  Performance specifications 

for individual light engines are listed on the certificate of 
conformance included with the shipping documents e-
mailed to the customer (Figure 1).

3.2  Installation 

NOTE: Any end-product/system incorporating or coupled 
to a Lumencor Light Engine shall be fully evaluated to 
verify all applicable safety and regulatory compliance 
requirements prior to use.

When setting the AURA Light Engine up for use, place the 
unit on a hard surface and avoid blocking or restricting 
airflow at the air inlet (front panel; Figure 3) or exhaust 
ports (rear panel) on the enclosure.  Restricting the 
airflow will cause the unit to operate at elevated 
temperatures and will result in decreased product life 
and/or premature failure.

The AURA Light Engine must be operated in a non-
condensing environment (dew point <10ºC with controlled 
ambient temperature <30º C). Thermal overload protection 
is provided by the on-board computer in conjunction with 
an on-board temperature sensor.  If the internal 
temperature registered by the sensor exceeds 50°C 

or

 the 

fan rotor is stopped, all light output channels automatically 
turn OFF and are locked in this state until the internal 
temperature is below 50°C and/or the fan restarts.  The 
current reading of the on-board temperature sensor is 
displayed on the front panel status display (Figure 3) and in 
the GUI (Figure 5, right).

Connect the DC power supply to a grounded AC wall 
outlet using the power cord supplied with the light engine.  
Connect the DC output to the 6-pin receptacle on the front 
of the light engine (Figure 3).  Turn the light engine on
