2.3 Start up procedure

Switch on/off the KL 1500 HAL by pressing the on/off switch (1).

The indicator on the LCD display (5) is lit when the instrument is switched on.

Position O: The instrument is switched off. Please disconnect the power by pulling out the power

plug!

To protect the halogen lamp the KL 1500 HAL is fitted with a gentle start up device that reduces the

high switch on current that would otherwise occur.

2.4 Light intensity setting

The brightness can be adjusted continuously by turning the light intensity setting rotary

dial (4).

The set brightness is indicated on the LCD display (5) in 1% increments between 0 and 100%. You

can have the light intensity displayed as the equivalent colour temperature [Kelvin] at the light guide

exit by means of a single press on the brightness control (4). Please note that this indicator is not an

exact physical quantity and therefore, subject to a certain level of inaccuracy! It is merely intended

as an approximate value! Neither fluctuations caused by manufacturing tolerances of the lamp nor

any ageing processes are taken into account!

The greatest light intensity is reached when the rotary dial is turned all the way to the 100% position

(3400K). The average lifetime of the lamp is approximately 50 h (as specified by the manufacturer of

the lamp).

The brightness of the KL 1500 HAL can be regulated across 3 different segments and is indicated

accordingly on the LCD display (5). These ranges can be used as an indicator for the application

specific brightness and thus for the lifetime of the lamp:

ECO 0 - 49% > 1,500 h

STANDARD 50 - 79% approx. 150 h – approx. 1,500 h

BOOST 80 - 100% approx. 50 h – approx. 150 h

KL 1500 HAL / KL 1500 H - Operating instructions

8/15

When the brightness control is set to 0% there is no more light intensity, i.e. the lamp is off.

Attention: Please note that when the brightness control is set to 0%, the instrument is not switched

off. You switch off the KL 1500 HAL by pressing the on/off switch (1) (see Point 2.3 "Start up

procedure"). Please ensure safe power disconnection by pulling out the power plug!

If necessary, you can have the total operating time of the lamp (varying with the set intensity)

displayed on the LCD display (see Point 2.5 "LCD display indication and settings").

2.5 LCD display indication and settings

Brightness indicator

The brightness set at the light intensity setting rotary dial (4) can be displayed either in per cent or

Kelvin (see Point 2.4). You can toggle the display by briefly pressing the light intensity setting rotary

dial (4) once.

Indicator of lamp operating time

You can have the LCD display (5) indicate the accumulated total operating time of the used halogen

lamp. This time is added up in full hours [h] throughout the lifetime of the lamp depending on which

type of voltage is used with the lamp.

You can use the menu control to switch this indicator on or off. To access the menu control, press

and hold the light intensity setting rotary dial (4) > 5 seconds. The lamp will switch off as soon as the

light source is set to menu control.

Turning the light intensity setting rotary dial (4) clockwise and anti-clockwise will move the indicator

arrow to the corresponding menu fields. The currently selected menu field is displayed as an

inverted field. Press the light intensity setting rotary dial (4) briefly once to open the selected

submenu.

KL 1500 HAL / KL 1500 H - Operating instructions

9/15

Select the submenu "On/Off" to enable the operating hour counter. Turn the light intensity setting

rotary dial (4) to select "On" and confirm your selection with a brief press of the rotary dial (a

checkmark will appear in the menu field). Select "Menu" followed by "Exit". The lamp will switch

back on. The operating hours are indicated at the top left of the LCD display (5).

To turn off the operating hour indicator, select "On/Off" in the submenu. Turn the light intensity

setting rotary dial (4) to select "Off" and confirm your selection with a brief press of the rotary dial (a

checkmark will appear in the menu field). Select "Menu" followed by "Exit".

If using the operating hour indicator of the lamp, you should reset the operating hour counter to 0 h

after changing the lamp. This will not happen automatically! Press and hold the light intensity setting

rotary dial (4) > 5 seconds to access the menu control. Next, select the "Reset" submenu. Turn the

light intensity setting rotary dial (4) to select "Reset" and confirm your selection with a brief press of

the rotary dial (a checkmark will appear in the menu field). Select "Menu" followed by "Exit". The

counting of the lamp's operating hours in the memory will start anew (beginning with 0h) regardless

of whether the operating hour indicator is turned or turned off.

2.6 Supplementary optics

The use of the supplementary optics ensures that you will achieve uniform, high intensity

illumination even when using light guides with a smaller bundle diameter than 9 mm.

If the illumination is carried out with imaging or focussing optical systems at the light guide exit,

perfectly uniform illumination is achieved by moving the supplementary optics out of the optical path.

To pivot the supplementary optics in and out, turn the pivot lever (6) clockwise or anti-clockwise to

the corresponding symbols. The supplementary optics always need to be pivot in or out as far as

they will go!
