3.
Take a fluorescent image and check for light and fan operation by looking through the fan guard
on the rear panel of the light source module. If there is neither, a blown fuse is the probable cause
for light loss. See
below.
4.
Observe the operation of the system by selecting "Inspect" in the Fluorescent Lamp Level drop
down list. This causes the selected filter to move into place and the lamp to turn on. Open the
chamber and visually inspect to see if the excitation light is incident on the sample stage.
If no light is detected, try a different filter. If there is still no excitation light on the sample stage,
contact PerkinElmer Technical Support (see
).
Fuse Replacement
1.
Before starting this procedure, save any important data in Living Image, and then exit the
program. Next, turn off the main power at the rear of the Lumina XRMS.
2.
Press the light source module ON(1)/OFF(0) switch to the OFF(0) position.
3.
Remove AC line cord from the AC power receptacle on the surge protector.
4.
Remove the AC line cord from the power entry module on the rear panel of the light source
module.
5.
Open the fuse holder door.
The fuse holder is part of the power entry module, and is located directly below where the AC
line cord plugs in (
). Use a thin bladed screwdriver or penknife blade if necessary. Be
careful not to damage the drawer.

WARNING!
DO NOT disconnect or reattach the electrical control cable that
connects the fluorescence equipment (excitation filter assembly) to the light
source module and IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III (electronics tray) when the power
is on. See
and
for photographs of
these components. Disconnecting or reconnecting the control cable when the
system has electrical power will damage the system. Always turn off the rear-
mounted ON/OFF switch on the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III before making or
breaking any of these cable connections.
!
WARNING!
The following procedure can expose the user to hazardous voltages
unless the electrical power to the fluorescence light source module is completely
eliminated. As instructed in the procedure, turn off the lamp from the module
front panel ON/OFF switch and remove the electrical power to the module by
disconnecting the plug from the surge protector and the back of the module.
