Schott DCR IV Fiber-Optic Illuminator A20890 with Integrated Equalizer and RS232 Control
Product Description
The Schott DCR IV Fiber-Optic Illuminator A20890 is a precision-regulated, DC-powered light source designed specifically for demanding machine vision and biotechnological imaging applications requiring stable illumination. It incorporates an integrated equalizer with a real-time light feedback loop to maintain consistent light output, critical in fields such as molecular diagnostics and fluorescence analysis.
Key technical specifications include:
- Remote control via built-in RS232 interface, enabling seamless integration into automated workflows or bioprocessing systems.
- Expansion capability to control up to three additional DCR III units through a 15-pin connector, facilitating scalable illumination setups.
- Embedded error-checking codes enhance communication reliability essential in sensitive imaging protocols.
- Highly stable DC-regulated light source, limiting light fluctuations due to voltage variations to within ±0.5%, assuring reproducible illumination for quantitative assays.
- Current limiting circuitry protects against overheating caused by defective or aging bulbs, extending operational lifetime and reducing maintenance downtime.
- Lamp change indicator LED on the front panel and via RS232 alert operators proactively to maintain system uptime.
- Solid-state intensity control, provides smooth adjustment of light output from 0 to 100%, supporting varied illumination needs in live-cell imaging and biomanufacturing applications.
- Interchangeable Modulamp units offering two lamp positions maximize lamp efficiency and versatility across diverse protocols in synthetic biology and cell imaging.
- An IR filter ensures cool illumination, minimizing heat impact on sensitive biological samples.
- Universal input voltage (90 to 265 VAC, 50/60 Hz) guarantees global compatibility and ease of integration.
- Certified to CSA UL standards and CE compliant for low voltage and EMC directives, ensuring safety and electromagnetic compatibility in clinical and research laboratories.
This fiber-optic illuminator is critical in biotechnological workflows requiring uniform, stable, and programmable light sources, making it widely adopted for applications in molecular cloning, fluorescence microscopy, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its advanced light stabilization and communication features enhance precision in high-throughput research environments, supporting cutting-edge developments in biotechnology and biomedical engineering.
