4.2 Connecting the Transilluminator and Accessories

Inside the darkroom, place the transilluminator on the roll-out tray. Connect the
transilluminator to the internal power jumper cable. Ensure that the green power switch on
the front of the transilluminator unit is in the
ON position and that the desired wavelength or
intensity is selected.
Note : For UV protection and to extend the life of the UV transilluminator, the system
incorporates a customizable transilluminator shutoff timer built into the software. For
additional information, refer to the
Lighting section of this manual.

If installing the LED White Light Plate, place the plate on top of the UV transilluminator and
connect the power cord coming from inside the darkroom to the back of the Plate.
3.
If installing epi UV modules, place the modules in the brackets located at the top of the
darkroom. Plug the modules into the outlets provided inside the darkroom. Place the power
switches located on the modules in the
ON position.
