5. Operating the Unit
5.1 Inserting and Removing the Light Guides
Caution!
Be sure to remove the plastic end caps before attempting to use the light guide.
Caution!
If the free end of the light guide is secured at a fixed location, sharp bends should be
avoided as it will cause a decrease in UV power.
Caution!
Never pull on the jacketing portion of the light guide. During installation or removal,
grasp the light guide on the strain relief nearest the input end of the light guide.
•
Installing single light guide - Insert the large end of single light guide into the
light guide receptacle located on the left side of the front panel. Push light guide
firmly until it is fully engaged.
•
Installing dual light guide – Insert the dual wand light guide into the light
receptacle and rotate the collar assembly so that the scribed line on the collar is in
the 12 o’clock position. See section 5.4 “Adjusting Wand for Maximum Output.”
Notice:
It is important that the rotational position of a dual light guide be set to maximize the
UV output for each wand. This setting is specific to each curing unit and light guide
(See section 5.4 - “Adjusting Wand for Maximum Output.”).
5.2 Powering Up
1. Ensure that the lamp and light guide have been installed and the cover securely
fastened.
2.
Plug the power cord into the receptacle located at the bottom left of the rear panel.
3. Plug the cord into the 120V/60Hz outlet.
4. Install the foot switch.
5. Turn on the main power switch, the power indicator will light up.
6. Check the fans for airflow.
7. Allow approximately five minutes for the lamp to reach full power.
Notice:
Avoid shutting the main power off for brief periods of time. Frequent start-ups will
cause the lamp to decay at an accelerated rate. If the system is shut down, wait a
minimum of ten minutes before restarting. Once the lamp is ignited, allow it to operate
for a minimum of fifteen minutes before turning it off.
