TroubleShooting 

 

No Power to the Darkroom  

 

Recheck main power cord connections to the darkroom. 

Check fuses, located at the back of the unit, near the power port. A flat-head screwdriver will be needed. 
Turn the cap and the fuse holder will “pop-out”. Inspect the thin wire within the glass fuse to see if there is a 
break in the wire. If so, replace fuse(s). If fuses are blown repeatedly, contact UVP Technical Support 
Department for additional troubleshooting. 

 

No Image on the LCD Screen 

 

To power up the system, push 

once

 on the button located on the left side of the unit.  

 

Touch Screen not Accurate 

 

If touching or clicking on the buttons becomes inaccurate, the touch screen may need to be recalibrated.  
Please follow all instructions in the touch screen calibration instructions included in the software CD. 

 

Transilluminator Will Not Turn On 

Be sure the darkroom cabinet’s door is completely closed. There is a UV exposure safety cut-off switch 
that turns the transilluminator off when the darkroom cabinet’s door is opened. 

Be sure the darkroom cabinet’s main power switch is lit. If not, refer to “No power to darkroom cabinet.” 

The transilluminator itself has a power switch; make sure that the transilluminator switch is in the On 
position. 

Be sure the transilluminator’s power jumper cord is securely connected at both the ends of the cable.
