4.1 Introduction and Requirements
It is strongly recommended that the manufacturer or its authorized agent install the
LightLink-CXL Corneal Cross-Linking System at the operator site to ensure that the
system is operating correctly, aligned and calibrated according to specification. After
this initial installation it is the operator’s responsibility to ensure the UV light system is
operating correctly whenever the UV light is moved or relocated.
The following procedures should be followed in order to successfully install the UV light
system. The checklist and report form should be completed and a copy sent to the
manufacturer. In the event that the report is not sent to the manufacturer then the
manufacturer reserves the right to decline any warranty claims that may be
forthcoming.
The installer should also retain a copy and the customer may keep a copy too.
All precautions care must be taken when installing the LightLink-CXL Corneal Cross-
Linking System to ensure that you or others are not exposed to any hazardous UV light
radiation. Always wear UV light safety glasses suitable for this particular wavelength
to protect your eyes.
The installation requirements are:
1. 100-230 Volts, 50 or 60Hz AC mains power supply with an earth connection. This is a
single-phase outlet capable of delivering up to 400 Watts.
2. A mains power cable is supplied but the connector may not suit the outlet available
so it is advisable to have a spare locally compatible cable available. The Cable
assembly must be CE approved for EU Countries.
3. A suitable room to place the UV light System in that provides for a safe working
environment is required. As with other ophthalmic equipment a dimly lit room is
preferred.
4. The UV light System has the facility to connect a remote door interlock to the UV
light treatment room. If this option is required then the customer must organize this

 This is PCB is the main PCB or the only PCB is the laser system and it is located in the
center of the laser head. It is where the all the electronics and laser are generated
and controlled. It is controlled and interfaced with two modules, UVLEDs laser
module, laser aperture motor, backlight LED, buzzer, interlock, and LCD RS232
transceiver (refer to below diagram)

The input voltage applies to the CPU then it converts to +12, +5, and -12VDc.

The laser voltage is gradually increased to 24 VDC and maintains it if the laser system
is activated it. When the laser is ‘ON’, the voltage must greater than 20 VDC then
the condition ‘ON’ criteria is met (refer to figure xx).

Once the voltage drops till below 16 VDC then the laser is in ‘OFF’ condition. This is
triggering system is accomplished by Schmitt trigger concept.

The CPU then will translate if the voltage is at +5VDC for ‘ON or 20VDC’ state and 0
VDC for ‘OFF or <=16VDC’ state and it can measure across the TP17 (POR signal).

If the laser is unable to function properly or has no output, then confirm if there is 24
VDC across the ZD1 or CN1 connector or TP11 and TP17 for the digital output signal of
5VDC.

In UVLED circuitry driver, the voltage falls within 0 to 2.5V and can be measured
across TP12. This voltage value represents the output power. The voltage is
proportional to output power (1mW to 40mW). For example, if the voltage is at
2.5VDC, then the output power is close to 40mW.
UVLED voltage should fall within 14.5V to 18.5V measures across CN8 pin 3 & 5 when
the laser is ‘ON’ stage. UVLED photo sensor is connected to CN2 and feedback to
MCU for the UVLED power intensity. The adjustment could be adjusted through the
VR3 pot.

Aiming circuitry is controlled by a set of DAC IC and current limited circuitry loop.
Two aiming intensity can be adjusted through VR1 and VR2 pot. CN4 connector is
corresponding to VR1 and CN5 is VR2. Aiming control voltage range is from 0 to
2.5VDC and can measure across TP9.

Laser aperture controlled circuit is controlled by VR via CN7 connection. The VR

value determines the aperture size where then translate the motor position through
LM628 motor controlled IC. The motor encoder will predetermine the aperture size.
CN9 is the motor connection.

The user and system interface communication establishment is via through the RS232
protocol and CN3 is the connection.

The buzzer is also built in the CPU PCB located in lower left quadrant.

CN6 is used to connect the 'Interlock key'.

CN8 is the connection for CCD camera and backlight LED.
