Cleaning the Controller
**CAUTION**
Do not use any alcohol- or acetone-based solutions to cleaning the controller
housing.
Ensure the controller is in the off position and the power supply is unplugged.
Use a mild soap solution as the cleaning media.

Calibrating a UV LED Head
**CAUTION**
Do not stare directly at the light emitted from the LED array. This may be harmful,
resulting in eye injury. Always use UV protective eyewear.
The calibration process requires an Excelitas Technologies LS100 radiometer, or an LS100P radiometer. The LS100
is an irradiance only sensor that will calibrate the heads in W/cm2. The LS100P is a power only sensor that will
calibrate the heads in W. Ensure the usage of the proper sensor for your application.
To calibrate the UV LED Heads connected to the LX500 controller:
1.
Securely fixture the UV LED head you wish to calibrate.
