Note
If the R-LS-1 is the top component in the rack, there is no need to continue further.
Otherwise, continue to Step 3.
3. Unscrew the four rack posts to free the next component. Keep the four rack posts in a safe
place.
4. Remove the component from the rack by gently pulling the component straight up until the
two sets of pins bottom of the component are freed from the pin sockets on the lower
component.
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 until the R-LS-1 has been removed.
6. When you are done working on the R-LS-1, reverse the steps to reassemble the rack, taking
particular care to fully insert the pins into the pin sockets and tighten the rack posts.
Installing the Blue Filter or Teflon Discs in the R-LS-1
The BG-34 filter and Teflon disc can be permanently installed into the LS-1 to further optimize your
experiment. The BG-34 filter amplifies the blue region in relation to the other regions in the spectrum,
while the Teflon discs diffuse the light emitted from the R-LS-1. A BG-34 transmission graph can be
found at the end of this manual.
Before installing blue filter discs, Teflon discs, or light bulbs in the R-LS-1, you must first remove the
R-LS-1 from the rack it is installed in.

Removing the R-LS-1 from a Rack
► Procedure
Note
This procedure involves opening the R-LS-1 light source. Before opening, ensure that
the lamp has been off long enough to allow the unit to cool and disconnect the power
supply from the R-LS-1.
Follow the instructions below to install the BG-34 blue filter or Teflon discs into the R-LS-1:
1. Make a note the location of the four Phillips screws on the bottom of the R-LS-1. You must
return these screws to this exact position when reconnecting the R-LS-1.
2. Loosen the four Phillips screws on the bottom of the R-LS-1. These screws hold the blue
anodized bulb housing in place on the R-LS-1 card.
3. Slide the R-LS-1 in place on the card until the recessed silver Allen screw is visible under the
blue anodized bulb housing on the bottom of the R-LS-1 card.
4. Use the Allen wrench included with the R-LS-1 to loosen the small silver screw. It is not
necessary to remove this screw completely.
5. Slide the silver lamp tube out of the blue anodized bulb housing.
