LED Module/Driver and Dichroic Installation
If modules need to be installed in the XLED1 System, please refer to User Guide
035-00465R or
http://www.excelitas.com/Pages/Product/X-Cite-LED-Module-
1.
Ensure the system is OFF and the AC power cord is unplugged from the
power source.
2.
Using the locking hub key supplied, rotate the green locking hubs 90
degrees and remove the locking hubs. Holding the XLED1 housing at the
back, slide the XLED1 housing up and back (away from the fascia) for
removal. The locking hub key can be stored on the locking hub key hanger,
located on the back panel of XLED1.
3.
LED Modules are shipped with their unique drivers. Both components must
be installed at the same time. If there is a mismatch installation of either
standard powered or high powered drivers, the corresponding LED will not
operate.
4.
Remove the protective LED lens cap. To install the LED Module and Driver,
align the LED Module and Driver male pins with the female socket
connection and gently push down into place. Tighten the Philips-Head
screws until a positive force is felt and apply ¼ turn.

TIGHTEN THE SCREWS
.
(If using a calibrated torque-meter,
Excelitas Technologies recommends a torque value of 5.7 lb-in/±
0.3 lb-in.)
5.
Install the Dichroics by inserting through the slot and lightly press down
until a positive force is felt. Ensure to hand tighten the locking screw, do
not use mechanical tooling such as screw drivers, pliers etc.
6.
If the Dichroic is inserted incorrectly, the Dichroic’s orientation key (located
on the frame), will not pass through the cut-out on the top plate, resulting
in an unseated Dichroic.
7.
When changing a Dichroic, the Edge value must be manually entered into
the system (if using the optional Touch Screen Controller ). If using the
GUI control panel Refer to User Guide 035-00465R for instructions on
changing the edge, reflect and transmit values.
8.
If using the optional Touch Screen Controller, to change the Edge value,
touch on the Dichroic to see the pop-up window, touch the top tab of the
window and an edit screen will appear. Type in the new Edge value and
press “GO” to return to the maintenance screen. The Edge value is printed
on the Dichroic module. For new Dichroics, the reflect and transmit values
will not be automatically updated, refer to:
http://www.excelitas.com/Pages/Product/X-Cite-LED-Module-
9.
Replace the XLED1 housing ensuring a snug fit. Insert the locking hubs and
using locking hub key supplied, rotate the green locking hubs to the locked
position. Return the locking hub key to the locking hub key hanger, located
at the rear of the system. The system will not allow the main power switch
to function if the housing is not replaced properly.
