1  INTRODUCTION 

Important information: Read the manual carefully before using the device.  

Inappropriate utilization may cause damages to the device, to the DUT (device under test) 
and/or other components of your setup.  

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them to any future user.  

1.1  Conformity 

We, Image Engineering GmbH & Co. KG, hereby declare that the Vega corresponds to the 
essential requirements of the following EC directive:  

 

Electromagnetic Compatibility - 2014/30/EU 

 

Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems - IEC 62471:2009 

1.2  Intended Use 

Vega is a high-intensity illuminator for transparent charts based on LED technology. It is 
capable of flicker-generation with variable frequency and variable duty cycle. The device can be 
controlled with the Vega Software and the optional Vega C++ API.  

 

Only suitable for indoor use. 

 

Place your system in a dry and constant tempered environment without any interfering 

light. 

 

The optimal ambient temperature range is 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. The maximum 

ambient temperature range is 18 to 28 degrees Celsius. 

 

The system has an internal temperature management system. If there is an error 

regarding the internal temperature, the status LED will indicate an error, and the system 

automatically turns off to avoid any damage.

 

 

1.3  General Safety Information 

Do not

 open the device without instructions from the Image Engineering support team and 

when connected to the power supply. 

1.3.1  Photosensitive Epilepsy 

A small number of users with pre-existing conditions may experience seizures 
while using the flicker mode of Vega. Certain frequency and intensity 
combinations may trigger seizures with no prior medical history. Reframe from 
using the device and consult a doctor immediately if you experience sickness 
while using Vega. 

1.3.2  Eye Safety 

The LEDs used in this product can be classified as belonging to the exempt group or risk group 
1 according to IEC 62471:2009.
