Usage
Together with the LED emitter and
the control unit, the LED Cube 100
forms a compact UV irradiation
chamber for use in laboratories or
in manual production.
With a usable irradiation room of
180 x 180 x 180 mm, the irradia-
tion chamber is particularly well-
suited to smaller workpieces or
workpiece holders. The reflective
interior wall structure and the opti-
mised reflectors of the UV unit
module ensure homogeneous irra-
diation and high process reliability.
The irradiation chamber is de-
signed for the LED Spot 100 emit-
ter, which was in turn developed
for all applications that require
high-intensity UV surface radiation.
The emission spectrum can be ad-
justed to suit a huge range of ap-
plications by using different LED
emitter components. The arrange-
ment of the LEDs and an electronic
power control ensure that the light
is distributed homogeneously in-
side the irradiation chamber.
The LED Cube 100 is controlled
via the LED powerdrive control
unit. A safety system which is acti-
vated on the LED powerdrive pro-
tects operating personnel against
UV radiation: the door and the
LEDs are logically connected to
one another. If the external safety
shutdown is activated and the door
is opened during operation, the
LEDs switch off immediately.
Areas of application
The compact UV irradiation chamber is suited to a range of applications:
Hardening adhesives, lacquer and casting compounds for components
in electronic, optical and medical applications
High-intensity UV irradiation in chemical, biological and pharmaceutical
applications

# 69136a 9
Thermal hazards
The following precautionary measures must be observed when operating
the LED Cube 100:
Only operate the radiation component when it is fixed securely to the
irradiation chamber.
Never leave the unit unattended when an irradiation procedure is tak-
ing place. The intensive radiation in the irradiation chamber causes the
product inside the chamber to heat up. Allow the products to cool down
before removing them.
The UV emitter must not be operated in areas with an explosive at-
mosphere.
Do not irradiate highly flammable or combustible substances in the ir-
radiation chamber.
WARNING!
The interior of the LED Cube 100 and the units being ir-
radiated can heat up during the process.
Danger from gases
Under certain circumstances, chemical vapours can be released when ma-
terials are irradiated.
The safety data sheets for the materials being irradiated must be ob-
served.
The provisions relating to materials in the workplace which are hazard-
ous to health must be taken into account.
If necessary, personnel should use breathing protection and ensure
that the workplace is sufficiently ventilated.
The air pollution in the workspace must be measured when starting
operation. If there is a high level of air pollution, a ventilation and ex-
traction system must be set up.
The commonly used UV-hardening adhesives do not release any va-
pours when irradiated with the LED Spot 100.
UV radiation promotes the production of ozone. The workspace must
therefore be sufficiently ventilated.

Startup
The irradiation chamber is controlled via the LED powerdrive control unit.
Before using the irradiation chamber, the "external safety shutdown of the
PLC interface" function must be activated on the control unit. This activates
the safety system of the LED Cube 100 irradiation chamber, which ensures
that the operating personnel are protected against UV radiation. The door
and the LEDs are logically connected to one another: if the door is opened
during operation, the LEDs switch off automatically.
WARNING!
The LED Cube 100 may only be operated when the ex-
ternal safety shutdown is activated on the PLC interface,
in order to protect operating personnel against UV radia-
tion.
Activating the external safety shutdown
The external safety shutdown on the PLC interface must be activated on
the control unit when operating the LED Cube 100. To do this, set "ext.
LEDenable" to "ON" in the Settings menu on the LED powerdrive:
