Compact controller module LDC-1C

Ocean Optics’ LED Current Driver Controller (LDC-1C) is a compact single channel driver and controller for a next generation of LED Light Source Modules (LSMs). The LDC-1C is an easy to use, menu driven device. It automatically reads identification and operational information stored in the LSM and configures itself appropriately, thereby protecting the LSM from potential damage due to excessive current. The LDC-1C is fully self-contained; no external input device is required for operation. The LDC1C may also be connected to an external source such as a function generator or a modulation signal from a spectrometer or other electronic device. The following sections provide instructions on unpacking and setting up your LDC-1C controller and LSMs. Unpacking the LED Equipment ► Procedure 1. Unpack your LED controller and lamp module(s) carefully. 2. Inspect the outside of the devices and make sure that there is no damage. Do not use the device if damage is present. 3. Use this instrument in a clean laboratory environment.
