OmniCure® LX500 Series UV Curing Solutions Care and Maintenance Note: Excelitas Technologies recommends incorporating the cleaning of the LX500 system into the user/operator cleaning and maintenance schedule. Cautions and Handling Caution: Routine maintenance should only be completed by qualified personnel to avoid risk of injury/electrical shock to the end user.
Always use UV protective eyewear. The calibration process requires an Excelitas Technologies LS100 radiometer, or an LS100P radiometer. The LS100 is an irradiance only sensor that will calibrate the heads in W/cm2. The LS100P is a power only sensor that will calibrate the heads in W.
OmniCure® LX500 Series UV Curing Solutions 2. Plug the LS100 or LS100P into the Radiometer connector on the front panel of the Controller (refer to Figure 3. Ensure the Door Jumper connector is securely connected the PLC connector. 4. Position the HeadLS100 over the LS100/LS100P sensor. 5.
