1. Introduction
CoolLED’s pE-100 has been developed for applications requiring a single LED
excitation wavelength. It is perfect for clinical applications such as routine
screening (e.g. using Auramine for Tuberculosis), for research applications
requiring precise intensity control and fast-switching, or for
electrophysiology applications where light has to be delivered to a specific
location. The user can select from 20 different LED wavelengths, ranging
from the near-UV at 365 nm to the near-IR at 770 nm.
With a comprehensive range of microscope adaptors, the pE-100 can be
fitted to most current and older microscopes. The result is a safe, convenient
illumination system which will last for many years without any additional
operating costs.
This manual should give you all the information required to install and
operate your new illumination system.

2. Safety Precautions
While LEDs are a much safer illumination system than the mercury and
metal halide lamps that they replace in microscopy applications, precautions
should still be taken with this product.
When operating or maintaining this product, please observe the following
safety precautions at all times. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
or damage to other items.
Please ensure that only the power supply and cord supplied are used with
this equipment.
The AC cord supplied with this light source must only be used with the
equipment supplied.
2.1.
UV light may be emitted from this product depending on the
version/wavelength selected. Avoid eye and skin exposure. Never look
directly into the light output beam from the Light Source or accessories. The
emissions could damage the cornea and retina of the eye if the light is
observed directly.
2.2.
Always ensure that the Light Source is securely attached to the microscope
(either directly or with a light guide and collimator, depending on the
version) prior to turning on the power. This will minimise the risk of injury
and damage.
2.3.
If for any reason the Light Source is to be operated when not attached to a
microscope, all personnel should wear eye shielding and clothing to protect
the exposed skin.
2.4.
Disconnecting the mains supply is achieved by unplugging the power cord
from the power supply block or the Light Source. Only plug in the power
cable, once the Light Source is attached to the microscope.
2.5.
There are no serviceable parts within the Light Source. Removing any of the
screws and covers will result in the safety of the Light Source being impaired.
The DC power supply unit should be inspected periodically throughout the
lifetime of the system.
DOC-012 Iss 7 5
2.6.
Any electronic equipment connected to this product must comply with the
requirements of EN/IEC 60950.
2.7.
To clean the exterior of the Light Source, use a slightly dampened cloth with
a simple water/detergent solution only. Avoid the optical surfaces and
lenses. Cleaning of optics should only be carried out using optical wipes and
fluids. Please note that the DC power supply unit should be isolated prior to
cleaning.
2.8.
This product conforms to the requirements of the Safety Standards as
follows:
EN/IEC 61010-1:2010 Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment
for Measurement, Control and Laboratory use.
EN62471:2008 Photo-biological Safety of Lamps and Lamp
Systems/Guidance on manufacturing
requirements relating to non-laser optical
radiation safety. Risk Group 3.
2.9. EMC compliance
This product is tested to the requirements of standard IEC/EN 61326-1
concerning electromagnetic compatibility. This is a Class A product. In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
All warnings may not be applicable depending on the version/wavelength being used.

3. Getting Started –System Components
The CoolLED pE-100 Illumination System is supplied with the following
components:
1. LED Light Source.
2. Manual Control Pod.
3. Microscope adaptor for specific microscope model (Direct attachment
version only).
4. Liquid light guide (light guide version only).
5. DC Power Supply Type GST25A12-P1J.
6. IEC Power Cable (not shown).
7. User Guide (not shown).
If any components are missing or appear damaged, please contact CoolLED
immediately.
DOC-012 Iss 7 7
4. Installation and Setup
4.1.
Carefully unpack the components from the shipping cartons.
4.2.
Insert the Control Pod cable into the LED Light Source.
4.3.
Connect the power connector from the DC power supply to the Control Pod
as shown. Ensure that the DC power supply is the one supplied with the
product. Using non CoolLED power supplies may damage the Light Source
and will invalidate the warranty. At this stage do not connect the mains
power lead to the DC power supply.
DOC-012 Iss 7 8
4.4.
Attach the LED Light Source to the epi-fluorescence port on your
microscope. Your pE-100 will have been supplied with a compatible fitting
for the microscope you specified at order. Attach the Light Source ensuring
that it is secure and true/flush with the microscope.
4.5.
Ensure that there is free airflow around the LED Light Source so that the
cooling system is not impaired. A gap of 200 mm on either side is sufficient.
4.6.
With the LED Light Source now attached to the microscope it is safe to
connect the mains power. Connect the mains lead supplied to a convenient
socket, plug in the IEC connector into the DC power supply and switch the
power on at the socket.
DOC-012 Iss 7 9
5. Operation - Manual Control
5.1.
Manual Control Pod Operation on/off.
The pE-100 is easily controlled from the manual Control Pod. LEDs are
switched on and off by pressing the ‘on/off’ button.
5.2.
At start-up the Light Source will revert to the same settings that were set
when it was last powered down. New Light Sources are supplied with the
settings as shown.
5.3.
Adjust the intensity of the Light Source by pressing the up and down
intensity buttons. This is displayed in 1 % steps between 20 % and 100 %.
Between 0 % and 20 % this figure is displayed in 0.2 % intensity steps.

6. Remote Operation –TTL
6.1.
The pE-100 can be controlled remotely via a TTL signal.
6.2.
TTL control uses the single BNC socket on the reverse of the Control Pod.
6.3.
The TTL signal controls the on/off function of the Light Source. A TTL ‘high’
will cause the LEDs to be on, independent of the state of the on/off button.
The intensity of the LEDs are manually set on the Control Pod.
