Check your Shipment
Please ensure that all the components have arrived safely and verify that all the items you
ordered were properly delivered to you. In the unlikely event of a missing or damaged component,
immediately notify your FLI dealer or FLI.
A camera order should include the following items:
• Camera with shutter cover installed (save this cover)
• Camera Test Report
• USB cable
• 12 volt power supply
• Power supply line cord
• Packing list
• User Guide
If you ordered accessories or options, these items should be included. Please check that your order
is complete.
Product Safety
The Hyperion Imaging System is shipped with a 12-volt power supply. Do not use any other power
supply with this System or use the power supply in a way other than described in this Guide as it may
cause damage to the Camera that will not be covered under the warranty.
If you are concerned about lightning strikes in the area in which you use your Camera, you may want
to take safety precautions as electrical surges can damage electrical equipment. We recommend that
when your Camera is not in use that you unplug the Camera from power and unplug the USB cable
from the Camera.

illuminated, full-frame back illuminated, frame transfer and interline.
The System is ideal for:
• X-ray Applications
• Astronomical Imaging
• Scientic Imaging
• Medical Applications
• Forensic Applications
• Transmission Electron Microscopy
Custom applications have included high altitude imaging, vacuum setup, mine searches, ultra cold
weather installations, and internal lens mounting (within 0.006” of the sensor surface).

System Accessories
A variety of accessories that are available for your Hyperion System are described below.
• Our Color Filter Wheel’s robust mechanical design provides the basis for uncompromised images. Each FLI color
lter wheel is precision engineered with a highly accurate, no-slip drive chain driven and stepper motor. The large
diameter pivot pin and bushing are precision ground and matched for smooth, quiet no-fuss operation night after
night. FLI color lter wheels use no internal lights for homing to protect your images from stray light interference.
• High Speed Filter Wheels use high-performance servo motors featuring rare earth magnets coupled with backlash-
free power transfer to provide ultimate torque which translates to ultimate speed. Filter exchange rates under 30
milliseconds are possible.
• Digital focusers are designed for CCD astronomy where the digital imaging system is mounted very close to correct
focus. The thin designs allow focusing with short-travel optical designs. All of our focusers are ASCOM compliant.
Additional information about the Focuser is available in a separate document, “Focuser User’s Guide” that is
supplied with this product.
• FLI stocks a large variety of adapters for the most popular telescopes. We will design custom adapters to meet your
imaging needs free of charge when ordering an imaging system.
• FLI Research Grade lters are high transmission lters manufactured in the United States with the highest quality
fabrication techniques available. FLI offers a full line of lter types and sizes. Choose from LRGB, Ha, SII, OIII and
UBVRI.
• Threaded shutter cover available for all Hyperion cameras.
Liquid Cooling Information
As a standard, all FLI cameras incorporate a TEC (Peltier) that enables the camera to cool the
sensor. The actual cooling for any given camera will depend on the sensor size and ambient
temperatures. The Hyperion Liquid Cooler can accept a ow rates up to 0.5 gallon/minute (1.91 liter/
min). Please contact FLI with your custom cooling requirements for either air, liquid, or un-cooled
system. Please see Appendix G for all available Hyperion liquid cooling congurations.

Warning: Using ow rates above the
recommended ow rates may
cause the liquid cooling system to
leak and will void the warranty.
Note: Maximum Hyperion Liquid
Cooler inlet pressure is 50 psig.
Ensure tubing selected has the
proper pressure rating. To avoid
undesired pressure build up in
Liquid Cooler shut off ow on
the inlet side before detaching or
closing outlet connections.

Setting-up and Powering Your System
Assemble all System components in one area before beginning this set up procedure. The image
below depicts an assembled System.
Note: Run the FLI Software Installation Kit before you set up and power your system to
ensure the system recognizes and correctly initialized the camera.
Setup the components as described in the procedure below.
1. Attach the USB cable between your Hyperion camera and your PC.
2. Connect the 12-volt power supply between the camera’s 4-pin “DC Power Jack” connector
and a wall socket or switched AC power strip. The camera’s fans will start running. Your
computer should display a screen indicating that the system has found new hardware.
Note: Refer to Appendix A for information about external triggering using the 6 pin DIN Auxiliary
I/O connector.

Video Mode Setup
You can use cameras with interline sensors to focus and center an image in near real-time using FLI
Grab. If you are using 3rd party software refer to its documentation for a similar feature.
Hyperion cameras with interline sensors
• HPx285
• Contact FLI for additional interline sensor information
