Modes of Operation
The system has three basic modes of operation: manual, timer, and PLC.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, the LED is energized when the foot pedal is pressed, passing curing
energy through the delivery optics, and de-energized when the foot pedal is released.
The LED may also be energized by momentarily pressing the run/stop button located in
the center of the touchscreen user interface. The LED will be energized to the power
level set through the touchscreen user interface. Pressing the run/stop button again
during the curing cycle will de-energize the LED.
When manual mode is selected, the time indicator will be initialized to zero. The time
display will count up during an exposure and display the total elapsed time at the end of
the exposure to allow the user to save the time and power values if desired. Starting a
new manual exposure will reset the time value to zero immediately and proceed to
count up.
Timer Mode
In timer mode, the LED is energized for a specific time period each time the foot pedal
or run button is pressed. The specific time is set by adjusting the timer’s value through
the touchscreen user interface. Momentarily pressing the foot pedal or run button
starts the timer and energizes the LED. When the timer counts down to zero, the LED is
de-energized, and no curing energy is emitted. The timer is reset to the pre-set value,
and the system is immediately ready to run another exposure cycle. The LED can be de-
energized at any time during the curing cycle by simply pressing the run/stop button.
