Light Source Reference
A light source reference is performed at the manufacturer's premises (prior to delivery).
It also needs to be carried out after changing a Xenon light source (controller IFC2471),
or the LED light source (controller IFC2451, IFC2461 and IFC2471LED).
Step by step:
Connect the controller with the Xenon light source (using controller IFC2471). Let
both devices warm up for approx. 30 minutes.
Do not connect any sensors. You may need to disconnect the sensor cable from
the sensor.
Perform a dark reference without a sensor, see Chap.
. On the controller, press
the
Dark reference
button

, or click the
Start dark reference
button on
the web interface (Video signal menu > Dark reference).
Connect the reflector to the sensor female connection. The reflector is either sup-
plied as part of the Xenon lamp module package, or is sold as optional accesso-
ry.
Perform the light reference. Click the
Start light source reference
button
in the web interface (Video signal menu > Light reference). This may take up to
10 seconds. The result is stored.
Remove the reflector.
Observe the video signal, see
