2.1 Parts List
Inspect the shipping container for damage.
If the shipping container seems to be damaged, keep it until you have inspected the contents
and you have inspected the LEDD1B mechanically and electrically.
Verify that you have received the following items within the package:
·
LEDD1B mounted on base plate - 1 pcs.
·
CAB-LEDD1 (LED cable, one end without connector) - 1 pcs.
·
Operation manual - 1 pcs.
·
Screwdriver for adjusting the current limit - 1pcs.
2.2 Getting Started
1. Connect LED head cable to the socket labeled "LED" at the back of the LEDD1B, see figure
below.
2. Perform the mechanical installation as detailed in section
.
Attention
Prior to connect the power supply unit, make sure it's
not connected
to mains power and
that the line voltage corresponds to the input voltage range of the power supply! Always
power up the T-Cube unit by connecting its power supply to the mains. DO NOT connect the
T-Cube unit to an already powered external power supply. Doing so (i.e. “hot plugging”) car-
ries the risk of PERMANENT damage to the unit. Similarly, to power down the unit, discon-
nect the power supply from the mains before disconnecting the T-Cube unit.
3. Connect the LEDD1B to the power supply. All electrical connections can be accessed via the
rear panel. Furthermore, the power supply can be connected via the connector on the bot-
tom using the T-Cube Controller USB Hub and Power Supply (TCH002) or 8-way Power
Supply (TPS008).
Rear Panel Connections
The LED device is connected via the M8 4-pin connector, which is compatible with all
Thorlabs light generating LED assemblies - see Section
for pin out de-
tails.
A standard BNC connector allows to apply an externally generated signal (0 to 5V) to the
unit (center pin: V+, housing: Ground). This provides an external control of the LED device.
For example, a pulse modulation signal to strobe the LED could be connected.
A single way power supply (KPS101) can be used to power the LEDD1B. .
