General Information
Basic System Description
Model # 49501 is a medical light source which is used in conjunction with several Welch Allyn
medical instruments. This model has a built in Infrared filter to limit the heat generated by the
light. It also has an external ferrite bead built into the power cord to meet Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) requirements, as required by medical standards.
Model HLS-24-0 is an industrial illuminator which can be used in many industrial applications.
The HLS-24-0 is also known at Welch Allyn as a 49501I (The I indicates that the unit is for
industrial use only). This instrument is identical to the 49501 medical light source with the
deletion of the Infrared filter and the Ferrite bead.

Performance Checks
The following performance checks will help you (1) determine whether or not the system is
operating properly, and (2) isolates a problem, if there is one.
System Set Up
Make sure the system is connected as follows:
1. Be sure that power is being provided by the wall outlet.
2. Be sure that the Lamp is installed properly.
3. Be sure that the cooling fan is turning when the unit is turned on.
4. The light source should produce a bright continuous white light with no
flickering after it reaches the steady state (approx. 15-20 Sec).
If any of these conditions do not occur, see the troubleshooting section.
