1 Introduction
The OmniCure® SERIES 1500 delivers the power, control and reliability never before
available in such a cost effective UV curing system. The S1500 joins the Lumen
Dynamics Group Inc. family of light systems offering the same high level of innovation,
quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect. Since 1982, Lumen
Dynamics Group Inc (formerly EXFO Life Sciences & Industrial Division) has combined
next generation optical engineering, state-of-the-art electronics and fiber-optics to
produce sophisticated technologies that employ light. Today Lumen Dynamics Group Inc
is a leading developer of light based systems for sectors ranging from manufacturing to
bio-medicine and we are unmatched in our commitment to quality and service.
The heart of the OmniCure S1500 is a proprietary 200-watt mercury short arc lamp with
an amazing 2000-hour guaranteed lifetime. This extended lifetime is made possible by
the proprietary technology incorporated into the design of the system. The lamp is
mounted in an elliptical reflector with a proprietary coating to provide excellent spectral
and power output.
Control for the OmniCure S1500 is provided by a rotary shutter / iris mechanism. The iris
is adjustable in 1% increments to provide very precise amounts of light to your
application.. Other standard features incorporated in the S1500 include: the pre-aligned
Intelli-Lamp® system, band pass filter, exposure timer, an accumulative lamp hour
meter, “lock out” protection, ,and a light guide status indicator. Units are configured for
standard curing applications.
We suggest that you read this manual to discover all features of the OmniCure S1500,
and how to use them.

Operate lamp only in the OmniCure S1500 lamp housing. This prevents direct viewing of
the arc and in the case of lamp bursting, contains the lamp particles. In the rare
instance in which a lamp bursting occurs, and the mercury content is released, the
following safety precautions are recommended: all personnel should be immediately
evacuated from the area to prevent inhalation of the mercury vapor. The area should be
well ventilated for a minimum of 30 minutes. After the lamp housing elements have
cooled, the mercury residue should be collected with the use of a special absorbing
agent available from laboratory equipment suppliers.
Warning
