MI-150 ILLUMINATOR

A Product of Dolan Jenner Industries

Introduction

The Fiber-Lite MI-150 is a 150 Watt quartz halogen fiber optic illuminator designed for general microscopy

use. When used with specialty fiber optic cables the MI-150 illuminator can also be used in a variety of
laboratory illumination applications.

 Initial Setup

 Remove the MI-150 Illuminator from the carton and retain the manual and any additional documents.
 Remove the fiber optic cable from the carton if the illuminator was purchased as part of a Fiber Optic

system. If the system includes an EEG2823, EEG3922 or BG2820 self supporting gooseneck fiber optic
cable then also remove the LH759 lens(es) from the carton. The EEG2823 and EEG3922 fiber optic
systems include two(2) LH759 lenses while the BG2820 system includes one(1) LH759 lens.

®

 Loosen the fiber optic nosepiece thumbscrew.
 Insert the fiber optic tip into the illuminator nosepiece. If the fiber optic is either an EEG2823, EEG3922 or

BG2820 self supporting gooseneck style cable then the tip of the cable will have a small groove in the tip.
The groove in the tip will firmly secure the fiber optic cable in the nosepiece and prevent rotation of the
cable. Align the groove in the tip with the nosepiece thumbscrew. Ringlight fiber optic cables do not have a
groove and can be installed without special alignment.

 Tighten the thumbscrew by hand to make a secure connection to the fiber optic. Use of pliers or other

tools is not recommended. Use of tools may result in damage to the illuminator or the fiber optic
cable.

 Insert the AC power cord into the power entry at the rear of the illuminator. Use only approved power

cord supplied with the illuminator.

 Insert the AC power cord into the proper AC mains outlet for the illuminator voltage ordered. If any doubt

exists consult the labels on the rear and underside of the illuminator before connecting the illuminator to AC
power.

Fiber Optic Connection

The MI-150 illuminator uses a B-type fiber optic nosepiece with a 0.590 in. (15mm) ID. B-Type nosepieces will

accept self-supporting goosenecks (EEG2823, EEG3922, BG2820) and ringlight (A3739) fiber optics without
the need for an adapter. Fiber optics smaller than the 0.590 in. (15mm) ID will require the use of B-type

Operation

All the MI-150 series illuminators are equipped with a front panel manual solid state intensity control.

FAX: [phone]

Press the ON(1)/OFF(0) rocker switch on the front panel to ON(1). The illuminator will light and is ready for service. The
illuminator intensity is controlled by the rotary control located on the front panel of the illuminator. The 0 position (when
control is turned fully counter-clockwise) corresponds to the lowest illuminator intensity. The 100 position (when control is
turned fully clockwise) corresponds to the highest illuminator intensity. NOTE: Continuous operation of the illuminator

at the highest intensity level will yield rated lamp life. Operating the illuminator at reduced intensity can result in
significantly extended lamp life.
Caution: The fiber optic interface (nose piece) runs at a very high temperature. Avoid contact during use and
when inserting or replacing light guide assemblies.

WARNING

Risk of injury from hot surfaces where indicated

Risk of electrical shock. Remove power plug before lamp

replacement and wait for hot lamp to cool.

Lamp Replacement

1. Turn the illuminator intensity control fully counterclockwise (the 0 position) and run the illuminator with the fan for several
minutes. Wait until the nosepiece is cool to the touch.

2. Press the ON(1)/OFF(0) rocker switch to the OFF(0) position.

3. Remove the AC power cord from the AC power receptacle.

4. Open the lamp access door by depressing the small clip toward the rear of the
illuminator with your thumb or finger. Once the clip disengages from the illuminator
housing the lamp access will spring open several inches. The lamp access door will
open slightly more than 90 to allow easy access to the lamp and lamp socket.

Do not pry open the door with a tool. This may result in damage to the
illuminator housing or the lamp access door.

5. Check the lamp assembly to verify that the lamp and socket are cool before
proceeding. Caution: The lamp runs at very high temperatures and contact

with a hot lamp may result in severe injury.

6. Pull the lamp eject lever to remove the lamp from the socket.

7. Lift and remove the lamp from the lamp socket by grasping the rear of the lamp
adjacent to the lamp

8. Power pins.

9. Remove the lamp from the socket. Discard the old lamp.

10. Insert the replacement lamp into the lamp socket by aligning the lamp power
pins with the slots in the lamp socket. CAUTION: Do not touch the interior of the lamp reflector, the lamp envelope or the

lamp pins with your fingers. Touching the interior of the lamp reflector, the lamp envelope or the lamp pins will result in
significant shortening of the lamp life. Handle the lamp only by the exterior of the reflector or the area adjacent to the
pins.

11. Push the lamp gently into the socket to seat the lamp in the socket and lampholder.

12. Rotate the lamp access door toward the illuminator housing and gently press the lamp access door to cause the door clip to
seat into the housing and secure the door.

13. Reattach AC line cord and the illuminator is ready for service.

Filter Option:

MI-150 illuminators ordered with the filter option are shipped with the IR filter and the filter holder installed at the factory. The filter
holder s located behind the illuminator nosepiece, in front of the lamp. (see diagram on page 2)
To use color filters (not included), place color filter into the filter holder behind the IR filter such that the IR filter is located between the
lamp and the color filter.

WARNING: Do not use color filters without an IR filter in place. Filters become HOT with use! Allow sufficient time (10-15 minutes) for
the filters to cool before handling.

ILLUMINATEUR MI-150

Un produit de Dolan-Jenner Industries

INTRODUCTION

Le système d'éclairage halogène à quartz et fibres optiques Fiber-Lite MI-150 d'une puissance de 150 watts est destiné
aux applications de microscopie. Lorsqu'il utilise des câbles à fibres optiques spécifiques, le systè
me d'éclairage MI-150 peut être utilisé également dans de nombreuses applications de laboratoire nécessitant une
source lumineuse.

INSTALLATION INITIALE

 Déballez le système d'éclairage MI-150 et gardez à portée de main le manuel et les autres documents joints.
 Si le système d'éclairage comporte un dispositif à fibres optiques, déballez le câble correspondant (fibres optiques). Si

le système comporte un câble à fibres optiques autoporteur articulé
EEG2823, EEG3922 ou BG2820, déballez également la (les) lentille(s) LH759. Les systèmes à fibres optiques
EEG2823 et EEG3922 incluent deux (2) lentilles LH759, le système BG2820 en inclut une (1).

 Dévissez la mollette d'embout du système à fibres optiques.
 Insérez l'extrémité des fibres optiques dans l'embout du système d'éclairage. Si le câble autoporteur articulé utilise des

fibres optiques EEG2823, EEG3922 ou BG2820, son embout est muni d'une petite encoche. Celle-ci est destinée à
permettre une fixation efficace du câble dans l'embout et d'éviter toute rotation. Alignez l'encoche avec la molette. Les
câbles à fibres optiques "Ringlight" n'ont pas d'encoche et peuvent être installé
s sans alignement particulier.

 Serrez manuellement la molette pour assurer un contact correct des fibres optiques. L'utilisation de pinces ou autres

outils est déconseillée. L'utilisation d'outils est susceptible d'endommager le système d'éclairage ou le câble à
fibres optiques.

 Branchez le cordon secteur dans la fiche prévue à l'arrière de l'appareil. N'utilisez que le cordon secteur fourni avec

le système d'éclairage.

 Branchez le cordon secteur dans une prise secteur murale offrant la tension correspondant au système d'éclairage dont

vous disposez. En cas de doute, vérifiez les indications des étiquettes à l'arrière et au-dessous du système
d'éclairage avant de le brancher sur le secteur.



Raccordement des fibres optiques

Le système d'é clairage MI-150 utilise un embout à fibres optiques de type B d'un diamètre interne de 15mm. Les
embouts de type B acceptent les systèmes à fibres optiques autoporteurs articulé s (EEG2823, EEG3922, BG2820) et
"ringlight" (A3739) sans adaptateur. Les fibres optiques d'un diamètre interne inférieur à 15 mm né cessitent l'utilisation
d'adaptateurs de type B (SX-5B, SX-6B & SX-7B). Pour de plus amples informations, contactez votre distributeur ou le
fabricant.
