MBJ Wide Bar Light Series Instruction Manual
Model Sizes in Series
Possible LED Colours
- Colour option will be added to the model name after the size information. SBL-0120-IR refers to a bar with 850nm infrared light
- This is an approximated value. The exact value also depends on LED temperature and LED current
Mechanical Integration
The light is equipped with M4 threaded holes at each end. It can be used to fix the lighting to the specified position. In addition M2.5 threaded holes are provided at the two long sides to mount the foil and filter holder set. To ensure a long operational live time of the light additional heat transfer measures at the mounting positions are highly recommended.
Example: Model WBL-0420

Safety Notes
Before working with this unit, read the warning and application instructions carefully and completely before operating the device.
- The device is designed for indoor use only.
- Light - Due to the risk of flash burn of the eyes it is not recommended to look directly into the light source. The lighting must be switched off before installation and/or maintenance. The device must not be used when a failure may cause a personal injury.
- Heat – In case of insufficient heat dissipation or when running the light in flash mode with a too high duty cycle, the surface temperature may exceed 60 °C. Keep off flammable materials at any time.
- Electricity – The housing is electrically isolated from the ground of the power supply. Exceeding the permissible input voltage Uin or ULED(+) 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 a 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 materiel for cleaning as it will damage the device.

Electrical Connection
The lighting is equipped with an 4 pin M8x1 connector.
- Wire colour of MBJ lighting cable
- Connection to 24VDC 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 the connection it is recommended to use the MBJ lighting cable with a maximum length of 10m.
Integrated Controller (-s)
Supported operation modes with the integrated LED controller
- Pin 3 (Trigger) needs permanent 24V to activate steady light mode
- PWM with 3.8kHz clock is used, recommended minimal camera exposure is 5ms
- Latency between trigger and LED light ON is about 20…30µs, the maximum recommended clock speed is 1 kHz, the maximum recommended duty cycle is 25% and the minimum recommended flash time is 100µs
- Values are approximate with a +/- 7% tolerance
- Lower voltage value refers to steady light, higher voltage value refers to flash light, please see max. allowed current in the row below
