The radiometers measure and display irradiance in watts or milliwatts per square centimeter W cm mW cm Total energy is a factor of irradiance over time The instruments derive this value from the irradiance values during the exposure run and the length of time of the run Total energy is measured in joules or millijoules per square centimeter J cm mJ cm Reaching the energy and irradiance values specified by your process is necessary for achieving a complete UV cure A Ultraviolet Radiation Although this product is not a source of UV light it is used in a UV environment Refer to the UV source s documentation for recommended protective measures against UV radiation present in the UV environment Operation and Features Display On Off Button Depress and Hold until screen is illuminated Setup Mode Button Soft Button Operation Buttons perform the function indicated on the display bottom line Run Exit Run Button Press to enter Run Mode Serene ae i doc fuso ep eic S UV POWER Puck II Unit Serial Number ses SE 7 Alarm Press to Exit Run Mode DESIGNED amp MANUFACTURED BY o PEN IT INC STERLING VA 20164 USA PC Connector Battery Door Operating the Radiometer Turning ON the Radiometer Press and Hold the ON OFF button until the display illuminates The display will briefly display the Radiometer Model Name Serial Number Software Version Calibration Da

The low battery indicator is designed to illuminate early enough so that your data remains valid Under severe low battery conditions the unit does not operate Therefore confirm that the unit flashes RUNNING before initiating a reading Over Temperature State OT Over Temperature If the internal temperature of the UV Power Puck or UVICURE Plus exceeds 65 C during an exposure run the unit will emit a steady beeping tone after the run However the data it has collected is accurate and can be read by pressing the Select button When doing this the beeping tone stops and you can scroll through the data readings In addition if the internal temperature of the unit exceeds 75 C the unit beeps once then displays the internal temperature continuously The unit will not operate until the internal temperature drops below 75 C The maximum internal temperature is 80 C If the internal temperature exceeds 80 C the warranty is voided CAUTION If you 12 press the Reset button to initiate the RUN mode before the unit cools to 75 C all data from the previous exposure run is cleared from memory The unit beeps and again continuously displays the temperature Over Range State OR Over Range The over range error message will be displayed if the peak irradiance value is too large for the instrument to measure Note that a unit s full scale range will be marginally higher than the normal range Readings that exceed the nominal ran
4. UVICURE Plus II are self contained electro optic radiometers that measure and display total UV energy and UV irradiance in a UV curing system The UV Power Puck II and UVICURE Plus ll combine compact size and robust design to withstand the extremes of UV curing environments while providing accurate measurement The carefully designed optical sensing systems only measure wavelengths that are relevant to the UV process The output of the sensing system is converted to digital form and displayed on an easy to read OLED display The UV Power Puck II simultaneously measures four different ranges of ultraviolet wavelengths with one pass through the UV process The UV Power Puck II default wavelengths are UVA 320 390nm UVB 280 320nm UVC 250 260nm and UVV 395 445nm The UVICURE Plus II includes a choice of one of the EIT wavelength bands The instrument reading includes total energy and peak irradiance of all four transmission bands for the UV Power Puck II and one band for the UVICURE Plus II EIT Instrument Markets UV Power Puck Il and UVICURE Plus II are manufactured in the USA Patent Pending The Process Values The two process values read by the UV Power Puck Il and UVICURE Plus II are total energy and peak irradiance The irradiance reading is instantaneous and is the highest amount of UV energy that the unit senses during an exposure run The irradiance value is energy at one instant in time during the exposure run
5. before returning your unit for warranty repair An RMA is not required When returning the UV Power Puck II or UVICUREO Plus II please return the equipment in the original or equivalent packaging You will be responsible for damage incurred from inadequate packaging if the original packaging is not used The customer is responsible for insuring the unit during transportation to EIT Instrument Markets Equipment repaired under warranty will be returned to the user with no charge for the repair or shipping EIT Instrument Markets will notify you of repairs not covered by warranty and their cost prior to performing any work on the equipment EIT Instrument Markets reserves the right to make changes in design at any time without incurring any obligation to install the same on units previously purchased Address for Returning All Instruments to EIT IM Ship the unit freight prepaid to the address below EIT IM 108 Carpenter Drive Sterling VA 20164 USA Attention Calibration Department Include your company name address telephone number fax number and e mail address on your shipping documents EIT Instrument Markets will contact you if any additional information is needed Appendix A Display Cleaning Instructions Use of a Soft Cloth is Recommended for Cleaning the Display Window Use of Isopropyl Alcohol is acceptable WARNING DO NOT USE ACETONE TO CLEAN THE DATA DISPLAY SCREEN IT MAY DAMAGE THE DISPLAY Optics Cle
