Design and function
4 Design and function
DELOLUXcontrol, in combination with the corresponding detector heads, serves to
measure and control the intensity of the polymerization-effective radiation of a curing
lamp. The detector heads are subject to calibration. Comply with the manufacturer’s
instructions and operating instructions of the lamps to be measured/controlled under
any circumstances.
In combination with different detector heads, the intensity at the required working position
can be measured. Alternatively, the intensity at the light guide outlet or the lamp head can
be detected. In order to measure the intensity directly at the light guide outlet or the lamp
head of a DELOLUX lamp, an adapter (aperture) must be screwed on / attached for
centering.

Design and function
Pos. Control element /

Remark
1Radiation sensor With the radiation sensor, the high-intensity radiation
(UVA, BLUE or LED) is absorbed and carried to the
actual detector (4). The measuring intervals must be
kept short to prevent aging of the sensor.
2Adapter If it is not the intensity value at the actual irradiation
area that is to be determined, but rather the curing
lamp itself is to be checked, it is recommended that
the respective adapter (aperture/Apt) is used. The
adapters center the light guide over the sensor,
while parts of the sensor are covered. It is essential
to select the adapter that reduces the sensor area
(3, 5, 5 mm adapters) in the parameter set of the
display unit. Otherwise, the radiation intensity is
determined on the basis of the 9 mm area of the
sensor, which results in faulty measuring or
misinterpretation.
3Light guide The optical radiation is carried to the detector via
the light guide. Protect the light guide against
mechanical damage/impair. The minimum bending
radius is 100 mm.
4Detector The radiation detector converts the radiation into
an electrical signal. This signal is forwarded to the
display via the signal line. The detector is spatially
separated from the sensor as temperature
fluctuations at the detector may falsify the
measuring signal.
5Signal line with plug The detector head is connected to the display unit
by means of the plug. The signal line is made of a
high-quality, fail-safe coaxial cable.

6.1 Safety instructions
CAUTION!
Damage or faulty measuring results through improper installation
and connection!
Therefore:
Do not position the detector head in such a way that it is permanently
in the ray path.
Do not bend the metal sheathing of the detector head line (minimum
bending radius 100 mm).
Do not subject the signal line to torsional or tensile stress.

Follow the safety instructions and operating instruction of the
irradiation equipment used.
Pay attention to the specific allocation of detector to DELOLUXcontrol.
Personal protective equipment
Wear protective clothing when operating the module:
Protective clothes
Safety glasses
Protective gloves
6.2 Installation and connection
DELOLUXcontrol is designed for mobile use.
NOTE!
Store the light intensity meter in the supplied hard top case for optimal
protection.
Only the detector heads assigned to DELOLUXcontrol can be used as the calibration data
of the detector heads are saved in the calibration data memory of the light intensity meter.
The detector heads are assigned via the corresponding serial numbers that are found on
the back of the device, on the cylindric part of the sensor, as well as in the supplied
factory calibration report.
Start of operation
Attach the detector head to the miniature SUB-D. Secure the plug against unintended
unplugging by means of the locking screws. Switch on the device and select the sensor,
the adapter if applicable and/or the wavelength (see chapter 7 Operation, page 22). The
device is switched off by pressing the menu / enter key over a certain period of time
(approx. 2 s).

Operation
7 Operation
7.1 Safety instructions
CAUTION!
Damage or faulty measuring results through improper operation!
Improper operation can cause damage.
Therefore:
The selection of the sensor from the parameter set of the display unit
must correspond to the serial number of the detector of the detector
head connected under any circumstances.
The sensor must not be damaged or contaminated.
Protect the detector against temperature fluctuations during
measuring. Make sure that the temperature is constant according
to the specification.
Personal protective equipment
Wear protective clothing when operating the module:
Protective clothes
Safety glasses
Protective gloves
7.2 Functions of DELOLUXcontrol
7.2.1 Overview of configuration options
The manufacturer programs DELOLUXcontrol in such a way that only the detector heads
supplied can be selected. If another detector head is to be included, the display unit
must be sent to the manufacturer so that the respective detector head can be activated
and the calibration factor can be entered. An arbitrary combination of sensors and display
units is not possible due to the permanently stored calibration values.
The following menu selection results from the maximum equipment (4 detector heads):
