Main Control Panel

 

 

 
Displays upon start-up; shows current state of each 

connected UV LED Head (displays two or four channels 
depending on Controller model). 
The timer for each channel is how long (in seconds) 

the UV LED Head will remain on when an exposure is 
triggered. If the timer is displaying 0.0 seconds then 
the unit is in “count up” mode and the UV LED Head 
will remain on for as long as the enable signal is 
present. If in count up mode, the timer value cannot 
be changed.  
The intensity is represented by both a numerical value 
and a bar graph. If calibrated for irradiance, the 
number will be a decimal without a ‘W’, if a decimal 
number with a W is shown, the head is calibrated for 
power mode. The color of the intensity bar will be 

same as the color code on the UV LED Head. The 
intensity will be displayed as a percentage for un-
calibrated heads or in W/cm2 or W for calibrated heads 
(refer to 

Section 

8.5, 

”Calibrating a UV LED Head”

). 

Closed loop feedback will be engaged for intensities 
below 100%. When closed loop feedback (CLF) is on, 
an icon will appear beside the intensity bar for that 
channel. The CLF icon appears when CLF is actively 

controlling the output of the head. If the CLF icon 
disappears before the completion of an exposure, then 
CLF has reached the upper limit it can adjust for and is 
no longer functional. If CLF usage is desired, it is 
recommended that you use an intensity of 80% or less. 
The bottom of the screen shows the last event. If you 
have an SD card installed this event will be saved to a 
log file. (refer to 

Section 8.6

,

 ”Viewing Log Files”

). 

When the system experiences an alarm, the alarm icon 
beside the Head number will turn red and an alarm 
message will pop up.

Use to control the UV LED Head operation for 
sequence programming and S2000 compatibility. For 

more information, see 

Section 6.4,”Defining Exposure 

Parameters
