Manual BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source 3 Introduction The Manual BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source is a 150 watt quartz halogen light source designed for use with select UVP Advanced Imaging Systems. The unit features a six position mechanical dimmer permitting variable intensity, as well as easily exchangeable excitation filters for monochromatic light output. A closed optical path tightly controls the output spectrum, allowing for consistent repeatable measurements with superior signal to noise.

WARNING: The quartz halogen bulb becomes very hot with use. Do not open the bottom access panel while the BioLite is running or without allowing it to fully cool.
Manual BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source 6 Setup Instructions BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source Setup 1. Plug the power cord into the receptacle on the back of the unit and the other end to a power outlet. 2. Position the BioLIte to the left of the darkroom. 3. Insert the filter cartridge into the filter port. NOTE: Filters and their cartridges are directional. Make sure that the label is facing forward.
Manual BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source 4. 7 The light guides should be on the inside of the darkroom. Make sure the fiber optic cables extend from the light guide toward the front of the darkroom (toward you). Match the drilled holes in the light guide holders to the protruding screws in the epi light structure. Use the brass thumb nuts to secure the light guides to the darkroom. Attach light guides to these screws at top of darkroom using the brass thumb nuts 5.
Manual BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source 4. 8 Position the light guide in the mounting bracket as shown below. Make sure the cable protruding from the light guide faces toward the front of the darkroom (toward the darkroom door) and that the light emitting portion of the light guide is facing toward the platform tray. Cable faces the front of the darkroom Light guide fits snugly in mounting bracket Light emitting portion of the light guide is facing platform tray 5.

Thread the knurled (non-smooth side) of the fiber optic cable from the inside of the darkroom through the hole created by removing the stopper until the large bulb separating the smooth and rough side of the fiber optic cable can no longer be pushed through the opening. 5. Remove the rubber cap from the input side of the fiber optic trunk and insert the fiber optic receptacle into the round silver connector on the front of the BioLite. 6.
Manual BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source 10 Using the Light Source 1. Set the power switch on the front of the system to the ON (I) position. 2. Rotate the black rotary knob on the front of the BioLite to adjust light intensity as desired.
