This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions to the literature accom¬panying the
appliance.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

Important

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with IEC 61010-1 and UL3101-1 as
an Overvoltage Category II: (local level, small appliances, portable equipment, etc. with
smaller transient over voltages than Overvoltage Category III.) Pollution II.

Caution

You are cautioned that any change or modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

1.1. Precautions

On Power Sources

• Before operating the product, check that the operating voltage is identical to

your local power supply. See specific descriptions for operating voltages.

• This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is

connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will

fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to fully insert the plug
into the outlet, please contact your local Thorlabs tech support.

• AC power cord must be replaced with IEC compatible cord.

On Operation

Before connecting to fiber optic components, be sure that all power connections are
secure.

On Cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzine.

Part 2. Getting Started

Unpacking – OSL1 and OSL1-EC

Check that you received all items on the packing list.

Hookup Overview

The OSL1 High Intensity Fiber Light Source allows the user to connect and control a
variety of fiber optic components. To learn the locations and names of important
connections see “Illuminator Descriptions” below.

Before You Get Started

• Turn off the power to the OSL1 before making any connections.

• Do not connect the AC power cord to the local power supply until the

connections are completed to the OSL1.

• Be sure to make connections firmly.

• Be sure that the OSL1 and OSL1-EC operating voltage matches the “local”

power supply.

Lamp Replacement Instructions

1. To replace the lamp, shut off the power and remove the power cord from the

AC outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.

2. Located on the lamp access panel, manually loosen the front panel fasteners.

3. With front panel released, remove the lamp module from the unit. Use caution;

fan blades are accessible while lamp module is removed.

4. Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool. CAUTION: Lamp and surfaces may

be extremely hot!

5. Remove the lamp from the socket and place in a safe area.

6. Insert the replacement lamp into the socket; pressing firmly to ensure that pins

are fully seated.

7. Close the access panel.

8. Secure the lamp access panel by manually tightening the front panel fasteners.

Part 6. Regulatory

As required by the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) of the
European Community and the corresponding national laws, Thorlabs offers all end users
in the EC the possibility to return “end of life” units without incurring disposal charges.

• This offer is valid for Thorlabs electrical and electronic equipment:

• Sold after August 13, 2005

• Marked correspondingly with the crossed out

“wheelie bin” logo (see right)

• Sold to a company or institute within the EC

• Currently owned by a company or institute within

the EC

• Still complete, not disassembled and not

contaminated

As the WEEE directive applies to self contained operational
electrical and electronic products, this end of life take back
service does not refer to other Thorlabs products, such as:

• Pure OEM products, that means assemblies to be built into a unit by the user

(e.g. OEM laser driver cards)

• Components

• Mechanics and optics

• Left over parts of units disassembled by the user (PCB’s, housings etc.).

If you wish to return a Thorlabs unit for waste recovery, please contact Thorlabs or your
nearest dealer for further information.

Wheelie Bin Logo

6.1. Waste Treatment is Your Own Responsibility

If you do not return an “end of life” unit to Thorlabs, you must hand it to a company
specialized in waste recovery. Do not dispose of the unit in a litter bin or at a public
waste disposal site.

6.2. Ecological Background

It is well known that WEEE pollutes the environment by releasing toxic products during
decomposition. The aim of the European RoHS directive is to reduce the content of toxic
substances in electronic products in the future.

The intent of the WEEE directive is to enforce the recycling of WEEE. A controlled
recycling of end of live products will thereby avoid negative impacts on the environment.
