SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Aseptico accepts no liability for direct or consequential injury or damage resulting from improper use, arising in particular through the non-observance of the operating instructions, or improper preparation and maintenance of this product.
- CAUTION : Use for intended purposes only. Failure to observe the operating instructions may result in the patient or user suffering serious injury or the product being damaged, possibly beyond repair. Before using this product, make sure that you have studied and understood the operating instructions.
- CAUTION : Use of other Lamp filters or accessories from third-party manufacturers is the sole responsibility of the user.
- CAUTION : All repairs to the LED Assembly, Boom Arm, and Power Supply are to be performed by authorized Aseptico service personnel only.
- WARNING : Do not install where there is a risk of an explosion. The ALU-40LED-CF is not intended for operation in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
- CAUTION : Connect AC power supply mains cable to a properly grounded outlet only.
- CAUTION : The ALU-40LED-CF Lamp is sensitive to shock and may be damaged if dropped or impacted against a hard surface.
- WARNING : Do not disassemble or alter the Lamp’s LED, Boom Arm, or Power Supply subassemblies.
- CAUTION : It is recommended to always have the patient wear darkened eyewear during dental procedures. Avoid looking directly into the LED when Lamp is turned on.
- CAUTION : If the Lens Cover and/or acrylic Fresnel Lens on the Lamp Head needs to be cleaned, use reagent-grade isopropyl alcohol, professional lens cleaning solution, or de-ionized water with a small amount of dish soap – do not use other solvents as they might adversely react with the Lens materials
SETTING UP THE UNIT
- Remove the ALU-40LED-CF Lamp from its carrying case. Unfold the tripod legs to a horizontal position. Loosen the pedestal adjustment knob and slide the legs to the bottom of the post (see Figure 1). Secure legs in place by firmly tightening the knob. Set Lamp Assembly on a stable, level floor surface
- Loosen the handgrip on the center post (see Figure 1) and raise the post to the desired height. Tighten the handgrip to secure post in place. Loosen the boom adjustment handle and extend the boom to desired length and/or pivot the lamp head to the desired operating position. Tighten the handle to secure the boom in place.
- Attach the power cord to the receptacle on the bottom of the power supply housing (see Figure 2, page 3) and plug the cord into a grounded electrical outlet. NOTE: The ALU-40LED-CF Lamp features auto-sensing, and global voltage compatibility for 100VAC, 115VAC, 230VAC, and 240VAC at 50Hz and 60Hz. The fuses provided are correct for these line voltages. NOTE: A USA-style 125V power cord and a Euro-style 220V cord are shipped with the unit. Power plug adapters for the specific country of usage may need to be purchased separately.
DC Power:
If the power source is 12VDC or 24VDC, use the DC Battery Clip or Power Plug Adapter Assemblies to connect to the DC source (see Figure 3). Insert the Assemblies’ Power Plugs into the DC Power Jack located on the bottom of the power supply housing (see Figure 2, page 3).
NOTE : When attaching the DC Battery Clips (Figure 3) to the battery, connect the red cable clamp to the positive (+) terminal, and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal.
OPERATION
After the ALU-40LED-CF Lamp has been set up, the unit is ready to operate:
-
Ensure that the protective Lens Cover is mounted onto the front of the Lamp Head (see Figure 4).
IMPORTANT: If applying light-activated composites, it is recommended that the supplied Color Filter, PN: 461974, be used to filter the light from the ALU- 40LED-CF Lamp. To install the Filter, remove the Lens Cover and place the Filter against the inside of the Cover (see Figure 5, page 6). Center the Filter so that it completely covers the transparent shield on the Cover. Replace the Lens Cover. -
Turn On/Off switch located on bottom of power supply housing to On (—) position (see Figure 2, page 3).
Avoid looking directly into LED lamp. Protect patient with darkened eyewear when directing light near patient’s eyes. -
3. Adjust light intensity and spot size by rotating the two adjustment rings on the Lamp Head (see Figure 4):
-
LED Intensity Adjustment Ring: Provides variable brightness control. When viewed from the rear of the Lamp Head, rotate Ring clockwise to increase lamp intensity, or counter-clockwise to decrease intensity. The intensity adjustment range is from 0%to 100%. NOTE: The total adjustment range of the Intensity Ring covers approximately 90° of rotation — do not attempt to force the Ring past the stops at each end of this range.
-
LED Aperture Adjustment Ring:
Allows user to select from seven different beam aperture sizes. When viewed from the rear of the Lamp Head, rotate the Ring counterclock-wise to increase beam width, and clockwise to decrease width. NOTE: When the Aperture Ring is rotated continuously in one direction, the Lamp will repeatedly cycle through the seven aperture sizes.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE : The Lens Cover, Color Filter, Fresnel lens, Vertical Stand, Fuses, and Power Cords are the only user replace-able parts on the ALU-40LED-CF Lamp. All other Lamp components, such as the LED Assembly, Power Supply, and Boom Assembly are not field serviceable and must be returned to Aseptico if repairs are required.
-
FRESNEL LENS REPLACEMENT: Procure the optional Fresnel Lens Replacement Kit, PN: AA-40LK, from Aseptico. Follow these steps to replace the Lens (see Figure 5):
-
Turn ALU-40LED-CF power Off and unplug Lamp from power source.
-
Pull Lens Cover (461936) off the front of Lamp Head to expose the Fresnel Lens (461935).
-
Use the Torx Key (490140) to remove the three Torx Fasteners (510727). Set Fasteners aside temporarily.
-
Remove old Fresnel Lens and replace with new Lens, positioning new Lens, rough side out, on the outer shelf on the Front Housing (see Figure 7).
-
Attach Lens to Housing with the three Fasteners from Step 1c above.
-
Replace Lens Cover.
-
LENS ADJUSTMENT: Follow these steps to adjust the position of the Lens so that it emits the sharpest beam (refer to Figures 6 & 7):
-
Position Lamp Head approximately 28″ (71 cm) away from a flat test surface. Turn Lamp On and observe sharpness of projected light beam (see Figure 6).
-
If outer edge of beam appears blurred or undefined, reposition the Lens on the next inboard shelf (see Figure 7) of the Housing (refer to Step 1 for complete instructions when detaching and reattaching the Fresnel Lens).
-
Repeat Step 2b, moving the Lens inward to the next shelf until the edge of the beam shows optimum sharpness and clarity. NOTE: There are a total of five different Lens adjustment shelves in the Front Housing (see Figure 7).
-
FUSE REPLACEMENT:
WARNING: Turn the power off and unplug the unit before following the steps below -
Remove the Fuse Holder from the Power Inlet connector (see Figure 8).
-
Replace the two fuses in Fuse holder.
Replacement Fuses (2): 0.160A, 250V slo-blow fuse (Fuse size: 5 x 20mm) -
Reinstall the Fuse Holder. NOTE: The ALU-40LED-CF features auto-sensing, global voltage compatibility. The fuses indicated are correct for 100V-240V 50/60 Hz line voltages
-
WARNING:
Turn the power off and unplug the unit before following the steps below.
CAUTION: -
Do not use excessive amounts of fluid when cleaning.
-
Do not introduce any fluids to the inside of the Lamp Head Housing or the Power Supply Assembly
CLEANING:
- Fresnel Lens: Remove Lens Cover and Fresnel Lens from Lamp Head. (IMPORTANT: Handle the Fresnel Lens by its edges — do not handle the active surface of the Lens.) The acrylic Fresnel lens is fragile and can be scratched. Dust is the most common contaminant and should be removed using compressed air. If additional cleaning is necessary, apply a few drops of reagent-grade isopropyl alcohol, professional lens cleaning solution, or de-ionized water with a small amount of dish soap, to a lint-free lens tissue and gently wipe Lens. Clean the Lens Cover using the same method. Reinstall Fresnel Lens and Lens Cover onto Lamp Head.
- Metal Components: The metal exterior may be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent or disinfecting solution such as isopropal alcohol.
- Gooseneck & Electrical Cords: Turn Lamp power Off. Wipe down the gooseneck and electrical cords with a cloth moistened with disinfecting
