Lamp Voltage Interface™
Installation and Operation Instructions
Model No. B003-001
SAFETY
1.To ensure safe installation and use of your Lamp Volt Interface™ (LVI™), please direct all users
to read this technical sheet.
2.Turn off the power supply at its source before installing this unit, or before performing any maintenance work.
3.ALLOW TIME FOR CAPACITORS TO DISCHARGE BEFORE WORKING ON ANY POWER SUPPLY.
4.DO NOT TOUCH EXPOSED POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE INTERFACE LEADS WHEN INSTALLING THIS DEVICE.
5.Keep flammable materials a minimum of three feet from any operating equipment.
6.Do not alter the wiring of this unit prior to, during or following installation.
7.The LVI™ permits volt reading by a high
impedance meter by reducing the actual reading to 1/100th of actual power. Therefore, an actual voltage of 2000V would be displayed as “20.00.”
2.Loosen and remove the nut that secures the lamp lead to the ballast terminal. Do not remove the lead from the terminal.
3.Slip the round,
4.Locate the first capacitor that is wired directly to the first mercury relay. Plug the
5.Mount the LVI™ junction box to the inner side- wall of the power supply cabinet. This unit can be mounted by drilling two holes in the side of the cabinet, and securing the junction box with two #6, #8 or #10 screws. Proper mounting will prevent excessive vibration and ensure consistent,
6.Connect the interface leads into appropriate +/- screw receptacles on a high impedance, panel- mount volt meter (must be a true RMS volt meter; available directly from UVPS).
7.Close the power supply cabinet when assembly is complete. Turn power on at its source.
INSTALLATION
The Lamp Volt Interface™ must be installed parallel with the curing system’s UV lamp wiring. Therefore, connector leads are to be installed directly over respective lamp leads connected to ballast and capacitor terminals.
1.With electrical power shut off at the source, open the power supply cabinet to expose your curing equipment’s electrical components. Allow enough time for capacitors to discharge all electrical energy before beginning any work.
OPERATION
1.Turn your curing system or machinery on.
2.With the LVI™ integrated directly between your curing system’s incoming power source and the capacitor, the
