MBJ ARL-10 Angled Ring Light
Mechanical Integration
The lights are equipped with 4 combined mounting positions of thread-ed or through holes. It can be used to fix the lighting to the specified position. To secure a long live time additional heat transfer measure-ments at the holding positions are highly recommended.
Model ARL-10

| Specification | Angled Ringlight |
|---|---|
| Operating temperature | 10°C to 30°C / 45°C1) |
| Certifications | CE, RoHS |
| Degree of protection | IP542) |
| Humidity | 30 % to 70 % |
- Max. of 30°C is recommended for steady light operation w/o additional heat transfer measurements, for max. 45°C a thermal connection is mandatory. Max. of 45°C is also permissible for flash light operation with a max. 10 % duty cycle.
- MBJ LED lights are protected against the ingress of solids and water in accor-dance with the selected protection class and applicable standards. Permanent protection against liquids containing solvents, such as cleaning agents, machine emulsions or other lubricants, cannot be guaranteed. IP is only valid with a connected cable (MBJ cable recommended).
Safety Notes
Before working with this unit, read the warning and application instruc-tions
carefully and completely before operating the device.
Have the illuminators commissioned only in compliance with the specified
protective measures. It is essential that you comply with the permissible
ambient conditions. The lighting must be switched off before installation
and/or maintenance. The device must not be used when a failure may cause
personal injury.
- The device is designed for indoor use only.
- Light – Due to the risk of irritation of or damage to the eyes or skin it is not recommended to look directly into the light source.
- Heat –In case of insufficient heat dissipation or when running the light in flash mode with a too high duty cycle, the surface tempera-ture may get hot. Do not touch the product during operation or immediately after it is turned off. Keep off flammable materials at any time and allow for sufficient heat dissipation.
- Electricity – The housing is electrically isolated from the ground of the power supply. Operate only with the permissible current. Exceeding the permissible current can lead to the destruction of the device or to a significant shortening of the lifetime of the LEDs in the device.
- Usage – Please prevent mechanical stress to the light surface during operation. This will lead to an inhomogeneous light emission.
- Cleaning – The light emission surface has to be cleaned with a standard glass cleaner and a soft cleaning cloth. Do not use other material for cleaning as it will damage the device.
Model Sizes in Series
The light is available in the following size 1) ARL-10
- Size definition refers to the outer luminous area diameter in cm.
Possible LED Colors
| LED | Abbr. 1) | Peak Wavelength 2) |
|---|---|---|
| White | -WT | 5000 K, CRI80 |
| Red | -RD | near 625 nm |
| Infrared | -IR | near 850 nm |
| Green | -GN | near 525 nm |
| Blue | -BE | near 465 nm |
| Yellow | -YE | near 580 nm |
- Color option will be added to the model name after the size information. ARL-10-WT refers to an angled ringlight with 5000 K white light
- This is an approximated value. The exact value also depends on LED temperature and LED current.
Electrical Connection
The lighting is equipped with an 4 pin M8x1 connector.
| Pin | Color 1) | Standard (-s) | Direct (-x) 2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | brown | 24 VDC | LED (+) |
| 2 | white | Dim | LED (+) |
| 3 | blue | Trigger | LED (-) |
| 4 | black | Ground | LED (-) |
- wire color of MBJ lighting cable
- connection to 24 VDC without external LED controller may destroy the unit
Additional Information
- Pin3 (Trigger) is an ‘active high’ input signal with 5…24V = ON and 0..1V = OFF, it is a high resistance current sink with 0.2mA for 5V and 5mA for 24V.
- Pin2 (DIM) is used as brightness control and operation mode switch, it is a high resistance current sink with 0.2mA for 5V and 1mA for 24V.
- For connection it is recommended to use the MBJ lighting cable with a maximum length of 10 m.
Integrated Controller (-s)
Supported operation modes with the integrated LED controller
| Pin 2 (Dim) | Operation mode |
|---|---|
| 24 V | steady light 1) |
| 1…10 V | steady light with brightness control 2) |
| 24 V | triggered light |
| GND | triggered flash light with max. 20 ms and up to 100 % more light |
intensity 3)
- Pin 3 (Trigger) needs permanent 24 V to activate steady light mode
- PWM with 3.8 kHz clock is used, recommended minimal camera exposure is 5 ms
- Latency between trigger and LED light ON is about 20..30 µs,
- maximum recommended clock speed is 1 kHz
- maximum recommended duty cycle is 25 %
- minimum recommended flash time is 100 µs
