Dolan-Jenner PL900 - Manual (Page 2)

Operation
All the PL900 series illuminators are equipped with a front panel manual solid state intensity control
and an external interface (9-pin, D style connector) for remote intensity control via a 0-5 VDC signal on
the back panel.
Insert the power cord into the power entry module at the rear of the illuminator. Next, insert the power
cord into a 3 wire grounded AC power receptacle. Use only approved power cord supplied with the
illuminator.
Press the ON(1)/OFF(0) rocker switch on the front panel to ON(1). The illuminator will light and is ready
for service.
Lamp Intensity Control:
Manual:
The illuminator intensity is controlled by the rotary control located on the front panel of the
illuminator. The 0 position (when control is turned fully counter-clockwise) corresponds to the lowest
illuminator intensity. The 100 position (when control is turned fully clockwise) corresponds to the highest
illuminator intensity.
NOTE: Continuous operation of the illuminator at the highest intensity level will yield rated lamp life.
Operating the illuminator at reduced intensity can result in significantly extended lamp life.
