LAMBDA DG-4 PLUS & DG-5 PLUS OPERATION MANUAL – REV. 3.05B (20131009)
iii
DISCLAIMER
The ultra high speed wavelength switching xenon arc lamp Lambda DG-4PLUS/DG-5PLUS
system is designed for the specific use as a microscope illuminator and optical wavelength
switcher, and no other use is recommended.
This instrument should only be used in a laboratory environment for use on animal tissues.
It is not intended for, nor should it be used in, human experimentation or applied to humans
in any way. This is not a medical device.
Do not open or attempt to repair the instrument without expressed and explicit instructions
from Sutter Instrument Company. Extreme heat and high voltages are present and could
cause injury.
Do not allow unauthorized and or untrained operatives to use this device.
Any misuse will be the sole responsibility of the user/owner and Sutter Instruments assumes
no implied or inferred liability for direct or consequential damages from this instrument if it
is operated or used in any way other than for which it is designed.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Electrical
Operate the Lambda DG-4PLUS and DG-5PLUS using 100- 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz line
voltage. This instrument is designed for connection to a standard laboratory power
outlet (Overvoltage Category II), and because it is a microprocessor--controlled device, it
should be accorded the same system wiring precautions as any 'computer type' system. A
surge protector and power regulator are recommended.
Fuse Replacement: Replace only with the same type and rating:
5 x 20 mm glass tube, time delay (medium), time lag, or “slow blow”)

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire-related Injury
Always use the grounded power supply cord set provided to connect the unit to a
grounded outlet (3-prong). This is required to protect you from injury in the event that
an electrical hazard occurs.
Do not disassemble the unit. The only user serviceable parts are the line fuse, the xenon
bulb, and filters. The line fuse is accessible from the outside of the unit. The bulb and
