3 Controlling the Scanning Lamp (LA2)
3.1 Outline
The system used to control the scanning lamp is constructed as follows and the items of
control include the following:
[1] Turning on and off the scanning lamp.
[2] Monitoring the scanning lamp for errors.

3.2 Scanning Lamp
The machine’s scanning lamp is a xenon lamp of a non-electrode discharge type, in which
xenon gas is sealed in a tube.
On the outside of the glass tube, two electrodes are arranged parallel to the tube axis, and
the inner side of the glass tube is coated with fluorescent material.
The internal gas discharges and, as a result, the fluorescent material glows when a high-
frequency voltage is applied across the electrodes.

3.3 Turning On/Off the Lamp
The scanning lamp is turned on/off in response to the drive signal (LAMP_ON) from the
CPU on the reader controller PCB. When the signal is generated, the inverter generates a
high-frequency voltage using the drive voltage (+24 V) supplied by the reader controller
PCB to turn on the xenon tube.
