NOTE: Due to lamp and power supply variation values (nominally, low = 5,000, medium = 7,500, high = 10,000) and the actual
reported values from the power supply may vary by as much as 5%.
Bulb Usage Monitoring Settings
The bulb life can be entered in the box titled
“
Lamp Bulb Life
”
(Figure 14). The bulb life can be set to any value from 1- 1,000
hours. The elapsed time is displayed next to it. When the elapsed time equals the bulb life setting, a message to change the lamp
will appear. After replacing the lamp, press
“L
amp Timer Reset
”
to reset the elapsed time. A 750-hour bulb life is expected from
Dymax lamps.
Stage
The Stage
is the lamp lift assembly containing the bulb, also known as the irradiator. The stage’
s upper and lower limit switches
are shown on the right side. The switch indicators will be red if the switch has not been engaged, and green if it is. The switches are
wired to be normally closed. If one of the switches malfunctions, these indicators can be used to determine which switch is on or off
when it should not be.
The lamp change position will move the stage to the lower limit switch (4” above conveyor belt) from any current position. Th
is is
the position the stage should be in to easily remove the irradiator cables.
The stage error reset button will clear any internal faults to the motion axis on the PLC. If the machine fails to move, cycle power to
the machine and try again. If the stage still ceases to move, press the stage error reset button to clear the fault.
Th
e stage jogging window allows the user to jog the stage up or down at any point in 1” increments. This is useful if the stage
becomes stuck, and must be jogged down to get off of a stuck point.
