1. Introduction
Lumencor SPECTRA and SPECTRA X light engines are designed for laboratory use by bioanalytical researchers and/or
developers of life science instrumentation. The SPECTRA provides 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 spectrally discrete, bright, controllable
light outputs directly to a sample; or in the case of fluorescence microscopy, to the objective. Each of the colors is
produced by an independent module that has been optimized to produce a precise set of wavelengths. The SPECTRA X
provides 6 solid state light sources whose outputs are refined by user-exchangeable bandpass filters. Light output can
be coupled into a liquid light guide (LLG) or SMA-terminated optical fiber via exchangeable output adapters. This manual
covers all SPECTRA and SPECTRA X models.
The SPECTRA and SPECTRA X can be controlled by serial commands to the RS-232 port from Lumencor’s Light Engine
Control Pod accessory (part number 83-10007), from a computer workstation running 3rd party image acquisition control
software or from Lumencor’s SPECTRA control GUI. The GUI controls only the light engine. Third-party image
acquisition control software is required for co-ordinated operation of the light engine with cameras and other peripherals.
The Light Engine Control Pod accessory controls light source selection, on/off switching and output intensity using two
push buttons and a rotary dial in combination with menus and status displays on a built-in screen.# A second USB port
on the pod allows pass-through control of the light engine from computer workstations. The SPECTRA and SPECTRA X
are also equipped with TTL control interfaces. TTL provides source selection and light output on/off switching but not
intensity control. However TTL signals elicit much faster responses than serial commands. #TTL control signals are
typically derived from hardware peripherals such as cameras or digital acquisition (DAQ) cards.
2. Precautions and Warnings {Précautions et mises en garde}
A few simple practices will ensure trouble-free operation for the life of the light engine.
Les quelques règles simples suivantes permettront d’assurer un fonctionnement fiable pendant toute la durée de service

Safety Items {Mesures de sécurité}:
Warning: DO NOT use an unapproved power supply. The Lumencor supplied external power supply is
recommended for use with the SPECTRA light engines. Alternate 24VDC/5A power supplies may be used for the
standard SPECTRA (no simultaneous outputs) or alternate 24-30VDC/7.9A power supplies may be used for SPECTRA
X and SPECTRA S (simultaneous outputs) but it is imperative that it has output over-current protection, as the power
input of the SPECTRA is not fused. The equipment is required to be supplied by a properly approved/certified DC power
source meeting the minimum electrical ratings of the product. Connect the AC power cord to a receptacle with a
protective safety (earth) ground terminal.
Avertissement!: NE PAS utiliser une alimentation électrique non homologuée. Il est conseillé d’utiliser
l’alimentation électrique externe fournie par Lumencor avec les sources lumineuses SPECTRA. Il est possible d’utiliser
une autre alimentation électrique continue 24#V/5#A avec la source SPECTRA standard (pas de sorties simultanées) ou
une autre alimentation électrique continue 24-30#V/7,9#A avec les sources SPECTRA X et SPECTRA S (sorties
simultanées), toutefois il est impératif qu’elle présente une protection de sortie contre les surintensités, car l’entrée
d'alimentation du SPECTRA ne comporte pas de fusible. L'équipement doit être fourni par un / certifié DC réunion de
source d'alimentation correctement approuvé les ratings électriques minimales du produit. Brancher le cordon électrique

3.2 Installation"
When setting the SPECTRA or
SPECTRA X up for use, be sure
to place the unit on a hard
surface and avoid blocking or
restricting airflow at the air intake
(front panel, left of the light output
port) or exhaust ports (on the
underside of the unit). Restricting
the airflow will cause the unit to
operate at elevated temperatures
and will result in decreased
product life and/or premature
failure. Position the unit in such
an orientation that allows
unrestricted access to the DC
power connector. In an emergency, you may need to disconnect power to the unit quickly.
To install the output adapter, remove the shipping cover from the light output port on the front panel by extracting the
four M4 fixing screws. Insert the output adapter (Figure 2) into the output port and secure it with an M4 fixing screw in

each corner. Retain the light output port shipping cover and re-install it in the event that the light engine requires
transportation. Attach the optical fiber or liquid light guide to the output adapter. In the case of liquid light guides, secure
the tip of the light guide in the output adapter using the set screw provided (Figure 2). Prior to activating light output, be
sure the output end of the light guide or optical fiber is safely directed into an enclosed optical path (e.g. microscope
input collimator or a beam dump). Do not bend the light guide beyond its specified minimum bending radius (40
mm or 1.6 inches). Extreme bending of the light guide may cause permanent deformation, resulting in decreased light
transmission.
SPECTRA light engines have bandpass filters associated with each light source. These filters are part of the order
specification and are not user-exchangeable. SPECTRA X light engines have user-exchangeable filters installed in

3.3 Operation Using the Light Engine Control Pod"
1.
Move the master power switch on the lower left of the SPECTRA rear panel (Figure 5) to the ON position. A
green LED next to the switch indicates that power to the light engine is ON.
2.
Connect the USB A port of the light engine control pod accessory (83-10007) to the RS-232 port on the
SPECTRA (Figure 5) using the USB-to-RS-232 cable (29-10011). Connect the USB B port of the control pod
to a USB A port on a host computer [1].
3.
Press and hold the right button on the pod until a menu of light engines appears. Turn the rotary dial to select
“SPECTRA” from the menu. Press the right button again to return to the main (0–100 analog intensity) display
screen.
4.
Before turning the light output on, be sure the output end of the light guide or optical fiber is safely directed into
an enclosed optical path (e.g. microscope input collimator or a beam dump).
5.
Press the left button to select the desired color channel. Successive presses will cycle through the available
color channels.
6.
Press the right button to turn the selected light source on [2]. Adjust the output intensity using the rotary dial.
Press the right button again to turn the selected light source off.
7.
Press and hold the left button to view a digital rendition of the intensity setting [3,4]. Press the right button to
return to the main display screen.
8.
Serial commands sent from a host computer to the USB B port of the control pod will automatically switch the
pod from local to pass-through mode, indicated by the message “PC pass through mode active” shown on the
pod display screen. Local command mode is disabled as long as pass-through mode remains active.
9.
To quit pass-through mode and return to local command mode, press the right button on the pod twice [5].
10.
Further details of control pod operation are provided in a downloadable instruction sheet.
Notes
[1] When configured for pass-through operation, the host
computer supplies electrical power to the pod. The pod will
turn on when the connection is made. For stand-alone
operation (no pass-through), connect a DC power supply
(5V/500mA) to the USB B port of the pod.
[2] There is no warm-up time; the light engine output
stabilizes less than 1 second after the light output is switched
on. Light output can be switched off during intervals when it
is not required for active viewing or data collection. After light
output is switched off, the cooling fan will continue to run for
5 minutes, after which it will automatically stop until light
output is turned back on.
[3] Output intensity can be set from 0–100% in 1% increments;
however operation in the 0–5% range is not recommended.
[4] The current intensity settings are internally stored. When the
pod is powered down, the settings are retained and will be restored at the next restart.
[5] Changes to light output ON/OFF status and intensity level made on the host computer during pass-through
operation will be automatically replicated in the pod settings.

the light engine control pod.
3.4 Operation Using Computer Workstation"
1.
Although the following instructions specify Lumencor’s SPECTRA GUI, operations using third-party image
acquisition control software that provide co-ordinated operation of the light engine with cameras and other
peripherals are generally similar.
2.
Operation and installation of the SPECTRA GUI requires a computer running the Windows operating system
with a free USB port.
3.
Download the zip file for the SPECTRA GUI INSTALLER from http://lumencor.com/resources/documentation-
software/.
4.
Unzip the file and run setup.exe to install the SPECTRA GUI.
5.
Connect the USB A-to-RS-232 cable between the computer and the RS-232 serial port on the SOLA (Figure
5).
6.
Successful installation is indicated by the appearance of “USB Serial Port (COM #)” under the “Ports (COM
&LPT)” tab in the Windows Device Manager. If the virtual COM port (VCP) is not registered by the operating
system, download and install the VCP driver from http://lumencor.com/resources/documentation-software/.
7.
Connect the DC power supply to the SPECTRA.
8.
Check that the liquid light guide or optical fiber is securely connected to the output adapter on the front panel
and that the output end is safely directed into an enclosed optical path (e.g. microscope input collimator or a
beam dump).
9.
Toggle the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position. The green LED next to the switch (Figure 5)
indicates that power to the light engine is ON.
10.
Run the GUI by going to the Program Menu and selecting LLE 7CH GUI.
11.
In the COM pulldown menu (GUI window, upper right), select COM # assigned to USB-Serial port.
12.
Press the “INIT” button in the GUI.
13.
The computer should now have control of the SPECTRA. In the GUI window, a graduated slider controls the
output intensity for each component light source [1,2]. The ON-OFF button below each intensity slider turns
light output from the selected source on or off.
14.
The G/Y button selects green or yellow light output from SPECTRA light engines. Green output is the default
selection on start up. For SPECTRA X light engines, this control is inactive and green/yelllow output selection is
accomplished by manual interchange of filters (Figure 3).
15.
There is no warm-up time; the light engine output stabilizes less than 1 second after the light output is switched
on. Light output can be switched off during intervals when it is not required for active viewing or data
collection. After light output is switched off, the cooling fan will continue to run for 5 minutes, after which it will
automatically stop until light output is turned back on.
Notes
[1] Output intensity can be set from 0–100%; however operation in the range 0–5% is not recommended.
[2] Setting the intensity slider to zero is not functionally equivalent to turning light output off using the ON-OFF button. In
this condition, the fan will continue to run as the light sources are still energized, even though their output may not be
detectable.
3.5 TTL Interface"
The TTL interface provides users with a faster method of switching color channel outputs on and off. Individual TTL lines
are provided for each color channel (Figure 5). These can be conveniently addressed using an accessory BNC breakout
cable (Lumencor part number 29-10015 or 29-10080) connected to the rear panel DB15 TTL port. Note that TTL and
serial on/off commands have a logical OR relationship. Therefore source on/off controls on the light engine control pod,
in the SPECTRA GUI or in third-party image acquisition control software must be set in the “OFF” state when using TTL
control. The TTL interface does not control source output intensity, which remains under serial (RS-232) control. TTL
polarity (ACTIVE = HIGH or ACTIVE = LOW) is factory set according to order specifications.
SPECTRA and SPECTRA X Instruction Manual" !10
!
3.6 Metered Dosage Operation"
Open loop and closed loop output monitoring and feedback systems are available as optional add-ons for SPECTRA
and SPECTRA X light engines. These systems consist of a modified output adapter that directs a small fraction of the
light output to an onboard reference photodiode, together with supporting signal processing electronics. For open loop
monitoring , the reference signal is output to a rear panel BNC connector (Figure 7) for external display or processing. In
closed loop operation, activation of the selected light source starts an onboard counter that accumulates the active
reference count from the photodiode and compares it to a control count value input by the user. When the reference
count reaches the control value (i.e. when the metered light dose has been delivered), the light output automatically shuts
off. All closed loop metered dosage functions are controlled from a serially connected computer. A Windows GUI
implementation is available free on request. The GUI also includes standard SPECTRA source selection and intensity
setting controls (Section 3.4). Further details of metered dosage operation are provided in a downloadable technical
bulletin."

switch. 3. Input connection from DC power supply. 4. Serial port for control from Lumencor GUI or third-party
software. Requires virtual serial port (VSP) driver installation on host computer. 5. Provides independent on/off control
of each component light source via TTL pulses delivered via BNC breakout cable (Lumencor part number 29-10080 or
29-10015). 6. Outputs analog signals synchronized to light dose on and off time points. 7. Outputs 0–5V square wave
with frequency proportional to light flux detected by the reference photodiode for external display or processing.
4.Spectral Output"
SPECTRA light engines can have 3–7 discrete spectral outputs, depending on their customer-specified configuration.
SPECTRA X light engines have 7 discrete outputs (Figure 8) derived from an array of 6 solid state light sources. The
SPECTRA X teal source can optionally be replaced by a near-infrared (nIR) source providing output from 710–750 nm
(depending on the associated filter bandpass).
5. Routine Maintenance and Trouble Shooting"
Remove any built-up dust or accumulation on the air intake ports. A vacuum may be used to remove debris so that a
steady supply of air is available for cooling. It is recommended that these dust-filters be cleaned by a gentle suction
device at least every 6 months and more often in dusty or smoke-filled environments. There are no user-replaceable
components or sub-assemblies inside the SPECTRA. Opening the light engine enclosure will void the manufacturer’s
warranty. The same stipulations apply to the SPECTRA X with the exception of permitted access to the filter
compartment as shown in Figure 3.
