2 Roomplanning and Setup Proposals for marLED and

marLux Operation Light Systems

Note! The following planning suggestions are intended as

guidelines and as a basis for discussing customized
configurations.

In particular, customized solutions will be necessary

where special room conditions need to be taken into
account.

All of the system configurations presented in this section

are based on normal (clear) room heights of 2.90 to
3.00 m in conjunction with intermediate ceilings.

Of course, the required room height or the headroom

available under the suspension system significantly
depends on whether additional extension arm systems
need to be integrated, e.g. for increasingly required
equipment such as monitor systems.

For additional information, please refer to the notes

provided in section 6, "Technical Drawings".

3 Wall and Ceiling Mounting for KLS Martin marLux

and marLED Operating Lights
3.1 Fundamentals
The weights and torques specified in section 3.6, page 81 apply for KLS Martin examination
and operating lights and combinations of these. These loads are transferred through the ceiling
mounting into the loadbearing ceiling.
The resulting ceiling loading in the individual case can only be determined by a structural
engineer. This must be determined before the operating lights are fitted. Any other loads on
the ceiling and the necessary safety factor must be taken into consideration when determining
the required static loadbearing capacity of the ceiling. The relevant regional building
regulations shall be complied with. Proper execution of the construction work is assumed. The
anchoring solutions described in the sections below relate to reinforced concrete ceilings that
have been properly and professionally constructed in accordance with DIN 1045.

3.2 Ceiling mounting for examination lights and marLux /

marLED operating lights and combinations of these
The examination and operating lights are mounted in the ceiling using ceiling anchor plates.
In rooms with intermediate ceilings or laminar flow air handling ceilings they are mounted
using special intermediate ceiling fittings or correspondingly extended tube flanges (see
installation drawings below). The ceiling anchor plate has six M12 threaded rods on a pitch
circle of 270 mm to which the tube flange is fastened (see illustrations below).

The installer should determine whether a transformer mounting plate or an intermediate

ceiling fitting should be used from an intermediate ceiling space of 300 mm or greater. This
mounting method is recommended both from the structural engineering and servicing points of
view.

3.2.1 Ceiling mounting using heavy duty anchors

The following information applies only in Germany. The relevant national regulations shall be
observed in other countries.
Please note:
The general information in section 3.1 "Fundamentals".
People are put at risk if the ceiling mounting should fail. For this reason, the mounting
components are subject to certain safety regulations that are specified in the construction
supervisory permits issued by the "Institut fr Bautechnik" (Institute for Construction
Engineering) in Berlin. These permits contain precise details of how to design and to fit
heavy duty anchor mountings, permissible loads and general construction requirements.
Only heavy duty anchors with an approval may be used for fittings in the tension zone.
Taking note of the above requirement, we recommend the HILTI HSL-TZ M10/20 or HSL-TZ
M12/25 heavy duty anchors for the marLux and marLED light systems (see "Ceiling
anchor plate, intermediate ceiling fitting" in the Installation Instructions).

V 2.0 37
 Planning Manual
Section 3 Wall and Ceiling Mounting

The proper execution of the installation of the celling ring or the ceiling plate using heavy
duty anchors must be confirmed on the prepared form in the "Ceiling anchor plate,
intermediate ceiling design" installation instructions, section 8: "Confirmation of the
structural loadbearing capacity of the ceiling" with all information by the construction
manager or his deputy.

3.2.2 Anchoring with a counter plate

The ceiling anchorage ring should be mounted on an existing ceiling with a counter plate, as
illustrated in Fig. 3-3. The counter plate will be covered by a screed to be applied subsequently
(1) or by the footfall noise insulation (8).

WARNING! Risk of injury from collapsing ceilings.

For safety reasons, the responsible structural engineer
must be informed if there is an error in drilling, e.g.
drilling into a reinforcing bar, as adequate structural
strength and load distribution can be jeopardized.

Procedure:
Determine the precise position of the operating light and mark the four through-hole bores
(see Fig. 3-5)
Drill the 16 mm diameter holes with a suitable drill.

Fit the ceiling anchorage ring (5), insert the M16 threaded rods (4) and screw on the
counter plate (2) using washers and hexagonal nuts. The six M16 threaded rods shall at
least meet bolt property class 8.8 in accordance with ISO 898 Part 1. Counter plate,
threaded rods and washers shall be provided by the customer. The components used shall
be adequately protected against corrosion.

3.2.3 Casting the anchor into the ceiling

The ceiling anchor can be cast into the deck if the precise position of the operating light
system is already known at the skeleton building phase before the reinforced concrete deck is
poured.

The length of the threaded rods (9) used must suitable for the deck thickness such that the
counter plate (3) is later completely covered by the concrete. The threaded rods shall at least
meet property class 8.8 in accordance with ISO 898 Part 1. Counter plate, threaded rods and
washers shall be provided by the customer. All components used shall be adequately protected
against corrosion.

Procedure:
Drill six holes 14 mm in diameter into the formwork (5) as shown in Fig. 3-5 for the large
ceiling anchor plate.
Screw the hexagonal nuts (8) onto the threaded rods (9). The free thread length below the
hexagonal nuts (8) necessary for later fastening of the ceiling anchorage ring must be at
least 40 mm.
Pass the threaded rods (9) through the holes in the formwork (5) from above.
Fasten the ceiling anchorage ring (6) onto the threaded rods (9) projecting through the
formwork from below using the hexagonal nuts (7). The hexagonal nuts (7) shall be
tightened such that the threaded rods (9) are securely fastened and cannot be moved
when the deck is poured.

Place the reinforcement (4) so that the threaded rods (9) project upwards between the
reinforcement rods.

Screw counterplate (3) at a height corresponding to the deck thickness using washers and
hexagonal nuts (2) so that the entire ceiling anchor is located beneath the later deck
surface (1). Take care to ensure that the threaded rods (9) are precisely parallel and
vertical.
Pour the deck.

Once the deck has cured:

Undo the hexagonal nuts (7), take the ceiling anchorage ring (6) off and remove the

3.2.5.3 Mounting with a intermediate ceiling fitting where a laminar flow air
supply system is present
Because of the air handling technology above the relevant ceiling panel in an air supply ceiling,
it is only possible to bridge the free space between the ceilings as far as the ventilation duct
concerned. This variant is illustrated in Fig. 3-10.
The illustration below shows a diagram of a possible mounting using a intermediate ceiling
fitting where a laminar flow air supply system is present.
The intermediate ceiling fitting can extend as far as the vent opening if the ventilation ceiling
has a central through duct.

3.4.6 Wall mounting of marLED V10 / marLux X6 / H6 / H5 and H5 PLUS

The marLux X6 / H6 / H5 / H5 PLUS and marLED V10 are mounted on the wall in the same
way as the light types referred to earlier.

WARNING! Risk of falling wall construction

Because of the greater weights of these lights and the
greater loads consequently arising, care must
nevertheless be taken to ensure that the wall's condition
or the fitting made on site is suitable for absorbing the
loads arising and guaranteeing a secure mounting.

A 26 VDC supply shall be provided by the customer to the mounting point on the wall to
provide a correct supply to the wall mounted lights.

This voltage may optionally be generated by a power module supplied with a voltage of
85-240 VAC. In this event, a mounting point shall be defined by the customer at a suitable
position for the attachment of a wall switch cabinet (available as an option) (see section 4.3,
page 105 for dimensions). The customer shall then supply a supply line from this point wall
mounting point providing the required supply voltage of 26 VDC under load (see also the notes
on the conductor cross sections in section 4.5, page 106).

The minimum room heights given below are recommended to ensure a clearance beneath the
lowest point of the light fitting of 2250 mm or 2000 mm in the case of LC fittings. The highest
position of the light body measured beneath the sterile handle is app. 2070 mm.
This dimension is reduced correspondingly for the heights given in the right-hand column of

In addition, however the vertical lamp body bracket is omitted from this suspension so
that it is still possible to set the light at an acceptable height when the room heights are
extremely low.

The value for the minimum room height increases for each additional extension arm by
130 mm (+/- 10 mm).

Where the fitting is mounted directly on the bare or solid ceiling, the high canopy
corresponding to the light types concerned is generally used to cover the power module. See
section 3.3 Canopies/ceiling covers in this regard.
The shallow canopy style can be used if the power module is accommodated separately, e.g.
in the power distribution or switching cabinet. The canopy disk style may also be used if there
is sufficient space in the intermediate ceiling.
The canopy design required shall be stated on ordering. Separate accommodation of the power
module is a requirement for the use of the shallow or disk canopy designs. Mounting on low
ceiling heights as specified in the tables above is possible if these canopy types are used.
Vertical movement of the spring arm is restricted by the low ceiling in these cases. The upper
spring arm stop must be adjusted to the ceiling height on installation.
This instruction also applies for the lights listed in Table 3-3, page 76.

3.5.4 Low ceiling heights (LC design)

It may be necessary to use the LC (= low ceiling) design for room heights below those
specified above. The vertical gimbal-mounted shaft is omitted from the light suspension in this
case. The free passage below the spring arm can thus be set to approximately 2000 mm. The
minimum room height reduces by the same amount. See illustrations below.

Fig. 3-41 marLED V16 LC / V10 Lc (top) with marLux X8 LC / X6 LC (bottom)

The vertical axis of rotation of the light body is omitted in the low ceiling design to achieve the
lower height. The first vertical rotation point is thus on the joint between the spring arm and
the extension arm. The spring arm's adjustability upwards from the horizontal is restricted by
the ceiling in this mounting method.

ceiling ventilation shall be taken into consideration:
The air diskharge area of modern air handling ceilings is designed so that the active diskharge
air extends as tightly as possible to the ceiling tube of operating lights to optimize laminar air
flow over the sterile operating area. Accessibility of the electrical components, for instance, is
hence restricted for design reasons. It is therefore recommended that, where air handling
ceilings of this type are installed, all electrical components such as the fuses and power
modules for the operating light and TFT monitors are, on principle, installed in a separate
switching cabinet provided by the customer. The cable sizes shall selected in accordance with
the distance between the cabinet and the ceiling mounting point for the lights and with the
power consumption of the operating lights. (See the cable sizes table in section 4.5, page 106)
The length of any intermediate ceiling fittings shall be selected so that they do not collide with
the operating room air handling ceiling or the ventilation ducts. Particular care shall be taken
here to see that there is still sufficient space for the terminals. See Fig. 3-42.
Cable routing both beneath and through the air handling ceiling shall be incorporated into
planning in the case of TFT arms with cable routing passing through the highest axis position
(see figure below).
Further installations of mounting in conjunction with laminar flow ceilings may be found in
section 6, "Technical Drawings".

In many cases, an additional circumferential air guidance skirt is fitted to improve the
efficiency of the laminar displacement flow from the operating room air supply ceiling.
It is recommended that this be made of plastic where possible to avoid the risk of breakage in
the event of any clashes with extension arms.
It may be necessary to consider restricting the upwards movement of the spring arm on the
operating light. Care must however be taken to ensure that the light body does not hang too
low because of the height lift restrictions to cause a risk that surgeons or persons in the
operating room team come into contact with the sterile handle.

4.8 Camera equipment for operating lights

The KLS Martin marLux and marLED operating lights can be fitted with the KLS Martin
surgiCam camera system. Two possible configurations are available for mounting the camera:
Camera in the light (light head handle)
Camera on a separate arm (additional arm for the camera)

The surgiCam camera is operated through its own control unit. The following operating
features are possible:

On / Off
Automatic / manual focus
Automatic / manual shutter
Zoom
Servo-motor for landscape / portrait camera orientation (only camera in the light head)
White balance

Further functions are described in detail in the separate operating instructions.

The socket for the control unit can be fitted in a wall socket or on a ceiling power supply unit.
Two empty conduits each of 30 mm internal diameter shall be laid from the ceiling mounting
point of the operating light to the wall socket. A wall outlet in the form of a normal
commercially available flush-mounted box shall be provided by the customer at the desired
mounting point of the terminal socked for TFT monitor or camera operation. Conduits shall be
laid to this point.
The camera cable for connecting between the ceiling mounting point for the operating light and
the wall socket is supplied as standard in a 15 m length. The control unit is connected to the
wall socket with a further 5 m long cable.

Wall-mounted control panel option

The camera can be controlled (zoom, rotation) through a wall control panel (18). The following
illustration shows the cabling required on installation of the terminal box in the wall.

6 Technical Drawings

Note! The following drawings are just examples and should be

regarded as suggestions or sample constellations.
Therefore, it should be clear that the configurations
shown cannot reflect implementation-specific details.
They are just intended as guidelines providing
orientation and support in clarifying specific problems
and options.

These include, for example, the headroom available

below the suspension system, or the maximum clearance
below the sterile handle, depending on given room
heights.

Similarly, the sample configurations illustrate solutions

regarding signal line "through-cabling" and special
ceiling ducts (with rotating ceiling covers) required for
such installation.

If you need to clarify specific questions, just contact us.

Well be glad to be at your service at any time.

2.2 Framework Conditions

The currently applicable German standard DIN 1946, Part 4 (1999), does not stipulate any
special requirements for operating lights concerning their influence on the degree of turbulence
below supply air ceilings providing low-turbulence displacement airflow (LTDA). The current
draft version of this standard (August 2008) defines the following requirements:

2.2.1 Appendix B, Visual Preliminary Test

B1 Objective
The objective of the visual preliminary test is a qualitative examination of the downflow
performance in the area of the LTDA outlet, the ceiling mount duct(s) , the operating light and
satellite light(s), and the screen of the protected area. This presupposes successful
qualification of the installation.
B 2.2 Operating lights and satellite lights
B 2.2.1 Method
The lights/satellites are placed in the center below the LTDA outlet. After they have heated up
to maximum operating temperature and an aerosol generator has been put in place, the
influence of the (main) operating lights and satellite lights on the downflow profile is
determined. To this end, the test aerosol is emitted at a height of 50 and 150 cm below the
operating/satellite light(s) and its distribution is observed to establish whether an upstream or
lift (in the sense of a reversal of the flow direction, opposite to the supply-air direction) occurs
or not.
If upstream is determined in repeated tests, such results must be documented.
B 2.2.2 Requirement
The test aerosol must flow down over the operating and satellite lights in a uniform manner.
No reversal of the flow direction (upstream) may be found at any point.

2.2.2 Appendix D, Turbulence Degree Measurement

D1 Objective

The objective of the turbulence degree measurement is to check/verify the protective effect of
the LTDA (low-turbulence displacement airflow) outlet in terms of providing a low-turbulence
airflow in the protected area, using a grid measurement method. If the sterile filtered supply
air flowing down vertically from the laminarisator of an LTDA system achieves turbulence
degrees 20%, ingress of impurities from the external areas of the operating room is deemed
to be effectively prevented.
If operating lights and satellite lights not tested as a system have been installed, the scope
of the test to be performed in installed condition must be that of a system test (minimum
requirements acc. to E 5 and turbulence degree measurement acc. to E 6), with limit value
requirements as specified in section D 3.

The specifications required for the main and satellite lights include:
detailed drawings of the lights to be tested, including their tracking/extension arms
light and satellite light specifications including wattages and maximum surface
temperatures.

E 5.3 Lights / satellite lights

The light / satellite light tests are performed under a vertical-downflow LTDA outlet at
maximum operating temperature and a luminance of 75,000 lux (measured at a distance of
1 m from the light).

Distance between laminarisator and center of light: 1.0 m

Distance between center of light and measuring probes: 0.8 m
Distance between measuring probes and upper edge of > 0.6 m
finished floor (UEFF):
Airflow velocity:(mean value) at measuring probes 0.23 m/s 5%
Supply-air (LTDA) temperatures: 20 0.5C

E 6.2.3 Operating lights / satellite lights

The lights to be tested, rotatable in all three spatial axes, must be positioned with the light
center (intersection of the three spatial axes of a hemisphere across which the light can be
swiveled) as follows, setting the inclination angle of the light emission surface to 45:
in the projection field of the laminarisator, with the lamp center more than 100 cm away
from the outer sides in each case;

on one side of the webs of the laminarisator if the laminarisator is subdivided into two or
more frame structures.

The plumb line of the light center is positioned over a black mark as defined in section C.6.2.1.
Thereafter, the positions of the light center and the surrounding measuring grid sized 120 cm
120 cm (corresponds to 5 5 marked points) are marked with blue stickers.

E 6.3 Measuring method

The system test measures are carried out without operating and instrument tables.
Using a sensor installed over the plumb line of the test position, the three parameters "flow
velocity", "temperature" and "degree of turbulence" are determined (measuring plane for
protected area and ceiling mount ducts: 1.2 m above upper edge of finished floor (UEFF)).
These examinations must be carried out in all test positions of the measuring grids of the
"laminarisator and protected area", "OR light ceiling mount duct" and "operating lights /
satellite lights".

2.3 Turbulence Degree Assessment Procedure

According to recognized engineering rules (DIN EN 13182, DIN 1946-2, DIN EN 12599) as well
as the current state of the art (VDI 2083), the degree of turbulence is defined as a measure
for the variations relative to the mean value of the airflow velocity. It is almost equal to the
"relative standard deviation" (standard deviation divided by mean value) if the number of
random tests is high and the direction of the speed/time variations is left out of consideration.
In this respect, three characteristic parameters are differentiated for the degree of turbulence
(VDI 2083, Part 5, Table 1): Flow with a degree (or rate) of turbulence of

< 5% laminar
5-20% low turbulence (LTDA)
> 20% turbulent

The degree of turbulence of the airflow velocity [in %] is calculated according to

Sv
Tu = * 100
v

with a standard deviation of the airflow velocity [m/s] of

( )
n
1
* vi v
2
Sv =
n 1 i =1

and a mean value of the airflow velocity [m/s] of

1 n
v= * vi
n i =1

Tu degree of turbulence,
Sv standard deviation of the present airflow velocity

v mean airflow velocity.

vi instantaneous airflow velocity values

n number of instantaneous values

In keeping with DIN 1946, Part 2, the measurement of the degree of turbulence must be
carried out by means of a direction-independent measuring instrument with a probe response
time of less than 0.2 seconds, capable of recording a measured value every second over an
averaging time of at least 100 seconds.

3.1.7 Turbulence meters

3.1.7.1 Testo 350-M / XL Control Unit

The control unit "Testo 350" (item number 0563 0353) is a portable instrument for air velocity
and temperature spot and control measurements. Both values were recorded every second
over a period of 180 seconds. The results were then used to calculate the degree of

The Testo comfort probes (item number 0628.0009) were thermal anemometers capable of
measuring airflow velocities ranging between 0 m/s and 5 m/s (tolerance: 0.03 m/s or 4%)
and air temperatures ranging between 0C and 50C [32122F] ( 0.3C tolerance). They were compatible
to the measuring instruments Testo 350 and 454. According to the data rendered by the
manufacturer, the comfort probes comply with the requirements of DIN 1946, Part 2, and VDI
2083, respectively, with a response time of < 0.2 seconds in case of velocity changes. Apart
from the independence of direction, there is a defined angular dependence between the
approach direction of the airflow and the degree of turbulence.

3.2 Method
3.2.1 Visual examination of lift
In a first step, the light was positioned under the supply-air ceiling panel in accordance with
DIN specifications (light head inclination: 45, light center: 1.0 m below the laminarisator).
The test for potential light head-induced lift (upstream) was performed by flue gas emission
and DEHS aerosol fog charging after the light had reached its maximum operating
temperature. These gases were first emitted 50 cm above and then 150 cm below the
operating light. Then their flow direction was checked visually to determine whether a lift
occurred in the sense of a flow reversal (flow direction opposite to the direction of the
incoming supply air).

3.2.2 Illuminance
The (cold) light located in the supply air flow was positioned vertically above the illuminance
meter (luxmeter) in such a way that there was spacing of 1.0 m.
Thereafter, the light was switched on and the illuminance kinetics were determined and
documented at intervals of one minute until reaching the final value of 90.0 klx.

3.2.3 Light head surface temperature

After the light had been positioned below the laminarisator in keeping with DIN specifications
and switched on, the heat-up process was recorded by means of a thermo-camera to
determine the hottest spot on the light head surface. Then the hot spot was marked and the
surface temperature sensor of a thermologger fitted to the light head at this point.
Thereafter, the light was switched off and the temperature kinetics of the cooling-down
process at the hot spot were determined at one-minute intervals and documented.

After the light surface temperature had reached the temperature of the supply air, the light
was switched on again with the specified maximum output and the temperature kinetics
(interval: one measurement per minute) of the heat-up process were likewise determined and
documented until temperature constancy was reached.

3.2.4 Degree of turbulence

3.2.4.1 Calibration of the turbulence meters

Prior to the measurements, all comfort probes were checked for zero adjustment (turbulence
degree of 0% at a flow velocity of 0 m/s).

3.2.4.2 Installation of the measuring instruments

The probe supports were assembled from two K&M stands and a 3.0-m rod screwed together
from three 1.0-m rods. Laboratory clamps were used to fit the (horizontal) rod to the K&M
stands. The eleven comfort probes were then installed by means of plastic cross-sleeves.

152 V 2.0
Planning Manual
Laminar Flow Expertise marLED V16

The spacing between the probes was set to 30 cm at a height of 1.05 m by means of a wooden
folding-rule. After the setup had been aligned, the probes were connected up to the Testo
measuring instruments.

3.2.4.3 Determination of the measuring points

The four corner points of the laminarisator panel were projected to the floor of the operating
room by means of a plumb line, marking them with stickers.
Using a plumb line, the center of the light was precisely positioned over the center of the
overall measuring grid of 180 x 180 cm (distance between the measuring points: 30 cm each).
Moreover, this field was divided into an external area (150 x 150 cm) and an internal area
(120 x 120 cm).

3.2.4.4 Positioning the operating light

After positioning the light emission surface at an inclination angle of 45 (see also section
3.2.1), the distance between the light center and the measuring probes was 0.8 m and that
between the measuring probes and the upper edge of the finished floor (UEFF) was 1.05 m.

3.2.4.5 Measuring the degree of turbulence (Tu)

A plumb line was used to position the probes precisely over the marked points. Subsequently,
the installed operating lights were moved out of the measuring area. The Tu measurement was
then run for 180 seconds, and for each measuring point a repeat determination was carried
out with calculation of the mean value.
To account for potential angular dependencies of the degree of turbulence on the incoming
airflow (due to probes in the marginal area which are not vertically approached by the airflow,
for example), a second measuring series was carried out for each measuring position with the
probes turned by 90 in the horizontal plane. The resulting higher mean values of the degree
of turbulence were then evaluated in each case, along with the associated velocity and
temperature parameters.
Using this procedure, the degrees of turbulence were measured and documented for the
following three operating conditions:
without light (initial Tu conditions of the LTDA system)
light head at supply-air temperature (influence of the body of the light)
light head at OR operating conditions

5 Summary of Results
In accordance with the current draft for the white-paper edition of the German standard DIN
1946, Part 4 (2008), a system test was performed for the KLS Martin marLED v16 operating
light with respect to its impact on the low-turbulence displacement airflow below an LTDA
supply-air ceiling system.
After the light had been switched on, the specified illuminance level of 90 klx was reached
within less than one minute. The maximum surface temperature of the light, determined after
90 minutes, was 33.7C (92.66F).
No lift (upstream) could be determined in the visual test under flue gas and aerosol load for
any of the two test conditions (50 cm above and 150 cm below the light center). In a test field
with a turbulence degree of 7% (without light), a mean value of 30% was determined for the
degree of turbulence after moving the heated light into the field.

6 Assessment
The marLED V16 operating light manufactured by KLS Martin (Tuttlingen) meets both test
requirements ("no lift action"; "degree of turbulence < 37.5%") in compliance with the draft
for the white-paper edition of the German standard DIN 1946, Part 4 (2008). Consequently,
the system test requirements are satisfied.

Reference is made to the necessity of an on-site assessment of the turbulence degrees for the
LTDA supply air ceiling system, the lights ceiling mount duct and its suspension system as
part of the OR hygiene acceptance tests, as well as provision of evidence that this light does
not cause any lift.

2.2 Framework Conditions acc. to DIN 1946, Part 4

The German standard DIN 1946, Part 4 (12-2008), defines the following requirements for
operating lights concerning their influence on the degree of turbulence below air supply ceilings
providing low-turbulence displacement airflow (LTDA):

V 2.0 165
 Planning Manual
Annex B Laminar Flow Expertise marLux H6

2.2.1 Specifications acc. to Appendix B, Visual Preliminary Test

B1 Objective
The objective of the visual preliminary test is a qualitative examination of the downflow
performance in the area of the LTDA outlet, the lights ceiling duct, the operating light and
satellite light, and the screen of the protected area. This presupposes successful installation
qualification.
B 2.2 Operating Lights & Satellite Lights
B 2.2.1 Method
The lights/satellites are placed in the center below the LTDA outlet of the air supply ceiling
system. After they have heated up to maximum operating temperature and an aerosol
generator has been put in place, the influence of the light(s) on the downflow profile is
determined. To this end, the test aerosol is emitted at a height of 50 cm above and 150 cm
below the operating/satellite light(s) and its distribution is observed to establish whether an
upstream or lift occurs above or below the light(s) (in the sense of a reversal of the flow
direction, opposite to the supply-air direction).
If upstream is determined in repeated tests, such results must be documented.
B 2.2.2 Requirement
The test aerosol must flow down uniformly over the operating/satellite lights. No reversal in
the flow direction (upstream) may be found at any position.

2.2.2 Specifications acc. to Appendix D, Turbulence Degree Measurement

D1 Objective

The objective of the turbulence degree measurement is to verify the protective effect of the
LTDA (low-turbulence displacement airflow) outlet due to provision of a low-turbulence airflow
within the protected zone, using a grid measurement method. If sterile-filtered supply air
flowing down vertically from the laminarisator (diffuser) of an LTDA outlet achieves turbulence
degrees 20%, ingress of impurities from the surrounding environment of the operating room
is considered to be effectively prevented.

Unless () the installed operating/satellite lights have already been tested as a system, the
scope of the test to be performed in installed condition must be that of a system test (with
minimum test requirements as specified in E 5 and turbulence degree measurements acc. to
E 6). The corresponding limit value requirements to be observed are specified in section D 3.

E 5.3 Lights / Satellites

The operating / satellite lights are to be tested under a vertical-downflow LTDA outlet with
maximum operating temperatures and a luminous density (illuminance ) of 75,000 lux
(measured at a distance of 1 m from the light).

Distance between laminarisator and center of light: 1.0 m

Airflow velocity:(mean value) at measuring probes 0.23 m/s 5%
Low-turbulence supply-air (LTDA) temperatures: 20 0.5C

E 6.2.3 Operating / Satellite Lights

The operating/satellite lights to be tested, rotatable in all three spatial axes, must be
positioned with the light center (intersection of the three spatial axes of a hemisphere across
which the light can be swiveled) as follows, setting the inclination angle of the light emission
surface to 45:
in the projection field of the laminarisator, with the light center more than 100 cm away
from the outer edges (perimeter) in each case;
on one side of the webs of the laminarisator if the latter is subdivided into 2 or more frame
structures.

The plumb line of the light center is positioned over a black mark as defined in section E.6.2.1.
Thereafter, the positions of the light center and the surrounding measuring grid sized 120 cm
120 cm (corresponding to 5 5 marked points) are marked with blue stickers.

E 6.3 Measuring Method

The system test measurements are carried out without operating and instrument tables.
Using a sensor fixed in place over the plumb line of the test position, the three parameters
"flow velocity", "temperature" and "degree of turbulence" are determined (measuring plane for
protected area and ceiling duct: 1.2 m above upper edge of finished floor (UEFF)). These
measurements have to be carried out in all test positions of the measuring grids of the
"laminarisator and protected area", "OR light ceiling duct" and "operating/satellite lights".

2.3 Turbulence Degree Assessment Procedure

According to both the recognized engineering rules (DIN EN 13182, DIN 1946-2, DIN EN
12599) and the current state of the art (VDI 2083), the degree of turbulence is defined as a
measure for the variations relative to the mean value of the airflow velocity. It is almost equal
to the "relative standard deviation" (standard deviation divided by mean value) if the number
of random tests is high and the direction of the velocity/time variations is left out of
consideration. In this respect, three characteristic parameters are differentiated for the degree
of turbulence (VDI 2083, Part 5, Table 1): Flow with a degree (or rate) of turbulence of

< 5% laminar
5-20% low turbulence (LTDA)
> 20% turbulent

The degree of turbulence of the airflow velocity [in %] is calculated according to

Sv
Tu = * 100

with a standard deviation of the airflow velocity [m/s] of

( )

v= * vi
n i =1
Tu degree of turbulence
Sv standard deviation of the present airflow velocity

v mean airflow velocity

vi instantaneous airflow velocity values

n number of instantaneous values

In keeping with DIN 1946, Part 2, the measurement of the degree of turbulence must be
carried out by means of a direction-independent measuring instrument with a probe response
time of less than 0.2 seconds, capable of recording a measured value every second over an
averaging time of at least 100 seconds.

The Testo comfort probes (item number 0628.0009) were thermal anemometers capable of
measuring airflow velocities ranging between 0 m/s and 5 m/s (tolerance: 0.03 m/s or 4%)
and air temperatures ranging between 0C and 50C [32122F] ( 0.3C tolerance). They were compatible
to the measuring instruments Testo 350 and 454. According to the data rendered by the
manufacturer, the comfort probes comply with the requirements of DIN 1946, Part 2, and VDI
2083, respectively, with a response time of < 0.2 seconds in case of velocity changes. Apart
from the independence of direction, there is a defined angular dependence between the
approach direction of the airflow and the degree of turbulence.

3.2 Method
3.2.1 Visual Examination of Lift
In a first step, the light was positioned below the air supply ceiling panel in keeping with DIN
specifications (light head inclination: 45, light center: 1.0 m below the laminarisator). The
test for potential light-head-induced lift (upstream) was performed by flue gas emission and
DEHS aerosol fog charging after the light had reached its maximum operating temperature.
These gases were first emitted 50 cm above and then 150 cm below the operating light. Then
their flow direction was checked visually to determine whether a lift occurred in the sense of a
flow reversal (flow direction opposite to the direction of the incoming supply air).

170 V 2.0
Planning Manual
Annex B Laminar Flow Expertise marLux H6

3.2.2 Illuminance
The (cold) light located in the supply air flow was positioned vertically above the illuminance
meter (luxmeter) in such a way that there was spacing of 1.0 m.
Thereafter, the light was switched on and the illuminance kinetics were determined and
documented at intervals of one minute until reaching the final value.

3.2.3 Light Head Surface Temperature

After the light had been positioned below the laminarisator in keeping with DIN specifications
and switched on, the heat-up process was tracked with a thermocamera to determine the hot-
test spot on the surface of the light head. Then the hot spot was marked and the surface
temperature sensor of a thermologger fitted to the light head at this point.
Thereafter, the light was switched off and the temperature kinetics of the cooling-down
process were determined at the hot spot at one-minute intervals and documented.
After the light surface temperature had reached the temperature of the supply air, the light
was switched on again with the specified maximum output and the temperature kinetics
(interval: one measurement per minute) of the heat-up process were likewise determined and
documented until temperature constancy was reached.

3.2.4 Degree of Turbulence

3.2.4.1 Calibration of the turbulence meters

Prior to the measurements, all comfort probes were checked for zero adjustment (turbulence
degree of 0% at a flow velocity of 0 m/s).

3.2.4.2 Installation of the measuring equipment

The probe supports were assembled from two K&M stands and a 2-m rod was screwed
together from two 1-m rods. Laboratory clamps were used to fit the (horizontal) rod to the
K&M stands. The five comfort probes were then installed by means of plastic cross-sleeves.
The spacing between the probes was set to 30 cm at a height of 1.10 m by means of a wooden
folding-rule. After the stands had been aligned, the probes were connected up to the Testo
measuring instruments.

3.2.4.3 Determination of the measuring points

The four corner points of the laminarisator panel were projected to the floor of the operating
room by means of a plumb line, marking them with stickers.
Using a plumb line, the center of the light was precisely positioned over the overall measuring
grid of 120 x 120 cm (distance between the measuring points: 30 cm each).

V 2.0 171
 Planning Manual
Annex B Laminar Flow Expertise marLux H6

3.2.4.4 Positioning the operating light

After setting the light emission surface to an inclination angle of 45 (see also 3.2.1), the
distance between the center of the light and the measuring probes was 0.8 m and that
between the measuring probes and the upper edge of the finished floor (UEFF) was 1.10 m.

3.2.4.5 Measuring the degree of turbulence (Tu)

A plumb line was used to position the probes precisely over the marked points. Subsequently,
the installed operating lights were moved out of the measuring area. The Tu measurement was
then run for 180 seconds, and for each measuring point a repeat determination was carried
out with calculation of the mean value.
To account for potential angular dependencies of the degree of turbulence on the incoming
airflow (due to probes in the marginal area which are not vertically approached by the airflow,
for example), a second measuring series was carried out for each measuring position with the
probes turned by 90 in the horizontal plane. The resulting higher mean values of the degree
of turbulence were then evaluated in each case, along with the associated velocity and
temperature parameters.
Using this procedure, the degrees of turbulence were measured and documented for the
following three operating conditions:
without light (Tu initial conditions of the LTDA system)
light head at supply-air temperature (influence of the body of the light)
light head at OR (surgical) operating conditions

5 Summary of Results
In keeping with DIN 1946, Part 4 (12-2008), the KLS Martin marLux H6 operating light was
subjected to a system test regarding its impact on the low-turbulence displacement airflow
below an LTDA supply air ceiling system.
After the light had been switched on, the specified illuminance level of 81 klx was reached
within less than one minute. The highest light surface temperature, determined after 90
minutes, was 37.5C (99.5F).
No lift (upstream) could be determined in the visual test under flue gas and aerosol load for
any of the two test conditions (emission 50 cm above and 150 cm below the light center). In a
test field with a turbulence degree of 8% (without light), a mean value of 30% was determined
for the degree of turbulence after moving the heated light in place in the test field.

6 Assessment
The marLux H6 operating light manufactured by KLS Martin (Tuttlingen) meets both test
requirements ("no lift action"; "degree of turbulence < 37.5%") in compliance with DIN 1946,
Part 4 (12-2008). Consequently, the system test requirements are satisfied.

Reference is made to the necessity of an on-site assessment of the turbulence degrees for the
LTDA supply air ceiling system, the lights ceiling duct and its suspension system as part of the
OR hygiene acceptance tests, as well as provision of evidence that this light does not cause
any upstream.
