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.”
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.
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, closed-end LVI™ connector lead
over the ballast terminal and secure.
4. Locate the first capacitor that is wired directly to
the first mercury relay. Plug the stab-on
connector onto an available tab on the capacitor.
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, long-term performance.
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.
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 panel-mount voltmeter will
indicate (via its LCD or LED display) volt levels
at .01 of actual power. Therefore, for units
operating at 2450v, the voltmeter will display a
reading of “24.50v”.

3. As volt level directly corresponds to lamp
performance, the meter’s readout will provide a
ready indicator of how the lamp is working.
a. To set a baseline for lamp performance, note
in your production log the volt level after a
new lamp achieves peak power following
start-up. This is your baseline figure.
b. Since a lamp’s energy usage will fluctuate
during its life span, measure the volt
readings against the baseline figure
regularly. As lamp cooling and degradation
will reduce energy consumption and,
therefore, lamp effectiveness, the LVI™
will help guard against under-curing by
monitoring voltage constantly during the
production cycle.
