Operating in PLC Mode 

PLC Mode Description  

CAUTION!

  

Always wear protective goggles or a face shield when working near UV light. The 

PLC is capable of turning on the LED at any time, or when a user selects PLC Mode from the front 
panel controls. 

PRÉCAUTIONS!

 Veuillez toujours porter des lunettes protectrices pour les yeux ou pour le 

visage lors de travail en contact avec la lumière UV. Le 'PLC' peut mettre sous tension le système 
DEL en tout temps, ou lorsque l'utilisateur sélectionne le mode 'PLC' avec les commandes du 
panneau frontal. 

PLC Mode

 

means that an external PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controls the system. The PLC provides 

input signals to the flood unit to control the LED. The PLC monitors the status of the flood unit by reading 
output signals provided by the unit. The PLC is typically programmed to start other machinery when the flood 
unit becomes ready, or perhaps start the flood unit when other machinery is ready.  The input signals and 
output signals are present on a connector on the back of the power supply labeled 

‘PLC’

NOTE

: Output signals are always provided in manual mode and timer mode to allow simple interfacing to 

alarms, counters, other interlocks, etc. even if a PLC will not be controlling the unit. However, the input signals 
will be ignored in manual mode and timer mode.
