CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY DESCRIPTION

1.  Power 

— ON/OFF switch. When ‘‘ON,’’ the Spectrolinker electronics are 

in the WAKE state before receiving value or operational mode 

 

instructions.

2.  Optimal Crosslink 

— Sets energy dose to the optimal value of 120  

µ

J/cm

2

.

3.   Time 

— Enter time up to 9,999 seconds. NOTE: The minimum interval for 

value entry is 1 second.

4.   Energy 

— Select energy dose up to 0.9999 J/cm

2

. NOTE: The  

minimum interval for value entry is 100 

µ

J/cm

2

 (0.1 mJ/cm

2

).

5.  Intensity 

— Measures UV irradiance inside the chamber.

6.  Start 

— Initiates the selected operation (i.e., ENERGY, TIME, OPTIMAL 

CROSSLINK, or INTENSITY). This pad turns on the UV tubes after the 

mode and value are entered.

7.   Reset 

— Clears all previously entered instructions and returns the 

Spectrolinker electronics to the WAKE state.

8.  Numeral Pads 

— Selects desired time or energy level. This must be 

done after mode selection.

9.  X100

— Lit LED indicates ‘‘ENERGY’’ or ‘‘OPTIMAL 

 

CROSS LINK’’ mode operation.

10.  Seconds 

— Lit LED indicates ‘‘TIME’’ mode operation.

11.  µW/cm

2

 — Lit LED indicates ‘‘INTENSITY’’ mode operation.

12.   Display

 — Displays selected values of time, energy, or intensity level as 

well as the following useful prompts: ‘‘DOOR’’ for open door, ‘‘BULB’’ for 

intensity level under 1,500
