CHANGING THE UV WAVELENGTH OF THE CROSSLINKER
The Crosslinker is shipped with shortwave UV tubes. However, should user requirements and applications change, it
is possible to modify the ultraviolet wavelength and recalibrate the UV sensor and microprocessor to the new UV
wavelength. This is accomplished by purchasing FIVE tubes of the new UV wavelength and the proper UVP
calibration sensor.

UV Wavelength Calibration Procedure
1. After disconnecting the unit from the electrical supply, install the five new tubes.
2. Plug the corresponding UV calibration sensor into the back of the Crosslinker chamber, just below the
pull-out tray.
3. Place the UV calibration sensor in the middle of the tray of the exposure chamber.
4. Close the Crosslinker door.
5. Invoke the calibration mode of the Crosslinker by holding down “STOP” on the tactile touchpad and then
turning the power to the unit ON.
6. A sequence of tones will be heard from the Crosslinker and a 180 second count will display on the LCD
once the calibration procedure has begun.
7. No calibration occurs during this 180 second period. This time sequence allows for the UV tube sources
to warm up and stabilize.
8. Upon completion of the 180 second period, measurements are automatically made with the UV
calibration sensor and the Crosslinker sensor. These measurements are compared to limits of
acceptability.
9. If sensor readings are unacceptable, an error code (01, 02, 03 or 04) will flash on the LCD. Press any
key to stop.
10. Check all connections and perform calibration once again. If the same error message appears, call
UVP.
11. This calibration process should be repeated following any unsuccessful recalibration. If calibration is
unsuccessful, replace the new UV wavelength tubes with the previously-removed old wavelength tubes.
12. Successful recalibration to the NEW UV wavelength changes the values in the microprocessor and the
numeric setting value is displayed on the LCD. To return to original or another wavelength, the proper
UV calibration sensor is needed.
