1Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the R2000
Radiometer. This radiometer includes revolutionary
technology that elevates the performance and accuracy
of hand held radiometers to new heights. It joins the
Lumen Dynamics Group Inc. family of spot cure and
illumination systems, offering the same high level of
innovation, quality and reliability that customers have
come to expect from Lumen Dynamics Group Inc.
At the heart of the R2000 Radiometer are two
proprietary systems: a non-imaging optical interface
that virtually eliminates measurement variation caused
by radiance and intensity variations in the light source;
and a flat response optical detector system that
responds to energy at all wavelengths between 250 and
1000 nm. The result is a hand held, robust and versatile
radiometer with accuracy unmatched in the industry.
The R2000 Radiometer provides unique features when
combined with the OmniCure 2000 UV Visible Spot
Curing System.

The R2000 Radiometer comes complete with:
3mm (Red), 5mm (Blue) and 8mm (Green) Light
Guide Adapters
6‟ Phono-style cable (RS-232)
6‟ 9-Pin style cable (RS-232)
CD with GUI software and programming notes
Carrying case
Light Guide Adapter
Interfaces Lumen Dynamics Group Inc. standard size
light guides to the optical input port to promote accurate
light delivery into the R2000 Radiometer.
The R2000 Radiometer is able to detect the output
dimension of the light guide depending on the colour of
the light guide adapter inserted.
Thumbscrew
Used to secure the light guide adapter to the light guide.
Remote Input Connector
A 6-Pin Mini-DIN connector that allows the R2000
Radiometer to interface with optional external cure site
and cure ring radiometers.
RS-232 Connector
A „stereo-phono‟ style connector that connects the
R2000 Radiometer to a PC or compatible OmniCure UV
Curing Systems.
LCD Display
The display is a 3.5 digit, 7-segment LCD display.
Front Keypad
The front keypad is comprised of 6 independent
membrane-style switches,
ON

Pressing this button will turn the R2000 Radiometer on.
RELATIVE / ABSOLUTE
Each press of this button toggles between relative and
absolute mode. The default setting is Absolute mode.
The Relative mode displays measurements as a
percentage of a reference value.
OmniCure CAL
Used to calibrate and set up compatible OmniCure UV
Curing Systems to a specified irradiance.
POWER / IRRAD
Each press of this button toggles between Power or
Irradiance measurements.
EXTERNAL
Enables the R2000 Radiometer to detect and measure
external radiometer devices when connected through
the remote Input connector.
STORE
This feature is used to save measurement data into a
data log memory for future retrieval from a PC.
The data stored is
Date / Time
Irradiance and Power
Serial Number –(OmniCure UV Curing Systems)
External input channel
