1.1 Scope of Manual This manual provides information necessary for operating and maintaining the AUV\LESCO SUPERSPOT MAX UV spot curing system (the MAX). It also includes safety requirements and references to pertinent mechanical and electrical drawings. Throughout this manual, precautions necessary to prevent injury to personnel are preceded by the heading WARNING;...
1.2 System Description The AUV\LESCO SUPERSPOT MAX curing systems are ultraviolet (UV) light sources that provide an intense concentration of UV light for the purpose of spot curing UV sensitive materials (photo polymerization). The MAX is the most powerful UV spot curing system that utilizes a lightguide delivery method (liquid filled or fiber type).
• Special rubber feet designed for use in clean rooms Safety The AUV\LESCO UV spotcure system has been designed to operate safely. They are being used in a wide variety of industrial environments worldwide without any worker safety problems or health hazards. However, this equipment can present worker safety problems if care is not taken to install and operate correctly.
allowing any skin surface from coming within close proximity of the high intensity light output(s). Additionally, it is never advisable to stare directly at any high intensity light source whether visible or ultraviolet for prolonged periods unless precautions have been taken to reduce both visible and ultraviolet light to safe levels.
Component Descriptions 3.1 Front Panel The front panel is a membrane control pad with digital displays and LED indicators. The keypad controls all the major operating features of the MAX. Distal UV sensor Lightguide Port/Receptacle Connector UV digital display Timer digital display ON time Number of cure Power to the bulb in watts...

3.3.3 Bulb The MAX uses a proprietary high-pressure short arc mercury vapor bulb designed for long life at very high intensity. 3.3.4 Reflector The reflector is a high precision, first surface elliptical reflector used to gather and focus the highest concentration of the available energy from the bulb. 3.3.5 Bulb Reflector Sub-Assembly The Bulb Reflector Sub-Assembly is detachable, and it consists of the bulb holder and an elliptical metal-formed reflector.
3.3.8 Light guide Receptacle The Lightguide Receptacle is a precision mechanical assembly that aligns the bulb, bulb reflector assembly, and lightguide for optimal focal point location. It also supports the shutter assembly, optical feedback sensor, lightguide safety switch, and infrared filter. 3.4 Special Features Here are several special features that can be accessed via the front panel.
3.4.3 Alarm Latching The High Limit Alarm indicator can be latched on. If an alarm is latched on, it will remain set on until power is turned off. The Alarm Reset button will silence the beeper sound only. When the non-latching mode is selected, the Alarm indication (both visual and audible) will extinguish upon shutter closure.

The Display/CPU board allows setting of the UV output; shutter ON/OFF times and number of desired exposures, power alert and reset, hour meter and provides access to user calibration procedure. All these functions are explained in Section 3.0. The CPU on this board and the battery back up SRAM allow data storage for up to 5 years, which is accessible through the serial communications ports located on the rear panel (see Section 3.2).
Should one find any major damage immediately inform the shipping company and AUV\LESCO. Note: Any delay in reporting damage may invalidate the claim. Make sure to keep the shipping container in case there is a need to ship the system or components back to AUV\LESCO.

Operation Turn on the power switch located on the back of the MAX above the power cord receptacle. After an initial hardware check, indicated by the sequential illumination of the front panel indicators, the system shows its serial address in the front displays as Adr XX and then ignites the bulb.
5.2. Alarm Latching (Al) The Optical Feedback Alarm is set when the control loop can no longer operate. When the Alarm Latching mode is selected, the indicator will remain ON until power is turned off, including the ALARM LED blinking, the I/O connector output and the serial interface. The buzzer will also sound, but it may be silenced by pressing the ALARM RESET button.
Once the Low value is found, that number will freeze in the left-hand display and the right-hand display will continue the count until the high value is found. The high value corresponds to the highest bulb output at the power supply maximum setting. Once these values are found, the shutter will close automatically.
Please note the individual address of the MAX unit displayed during power up before lamp ignition. Please refer to the Serial Interface Document, AUV\LESCO Part No. KMD1043, that details all the available commands and their functionality and programming. The lists of...
There is a Virtual Instrument (VI) interface to help communication to the MAX unit using a standard computer or a laptop.

Open circuit voltage (no bulb). Open circuit voltage should rise to approx. +2340 Vdc for a few seconds, and then drop to approx. +330 Vdc. If power supply blows fuses without a load, then power supply components, wiring or shorts may be the problem. Perform visual inspection of power supply components and wiring.
