1. Introduction
The Meiji Techno FL-PWJ Epi-Fluorescence Illuminator Power Supply is a
precision engineered product incorporating efficient, silent-running switchmode
power supply technology delivering smooth, regulated current.
The FL-PWJ Power Supply is designed only to support 100 watt HBO DC arc
lamps.
The advanced switchmode design provides constant, low-noise DC power that
automatically adjusts for the condition of the DC lamp in circuit.
The FL-PWJ Power Supply comes standard with a panel mounted circuit breaker
and provides accidental unplug protection to guard against laboratory mishaps.
A panel mounted Elapsed Time Panel Meter keeps track of the DC arc lamp
hours in use so replacements can be easily accommodated.
The reset button on the panel meter resets to “zero” when arc lamps are
replaced.
This system was designed for easy plug-n-play integration with 100 watt HBO
illumination commonly used in fluorescence microscopy work with no additional
adjustments necessary for the lifespan of the arc lamp.
The FL-PWJ Power Supply can be used with the TC Series Inverted EpiFluorescence Microscope and comes standard on the MT6000 Series EpiFluorescence Upright Biological Models.
