INSTALLATION
2
2.1 General
The IntelliRay 600 light cure system may be placed on any bench or shelf that has access to a
120/240V 50/60-cycle single-phase power source in a clean operation area. Since it is an air-
cooled unit, dust or airborne particles can clog the internal cooling passages and cause
overheating. Allow a 6-inch clearance on all sides for unrestricted airflow.
2.2 Mounting
The Lamp Housing Assembly should always be
mounted on a stand or held away from any flammable
surfaces. Never place the Lamp Housing Assembly
directly on the work surface. The IntelliRay is designed
to be stand mounted using the optional UV0454 Flood
Stand. The unit’s rear mounted clamping bracket allows
the lamp’s height to be slide adjusted on the Flood
Stand for optimum curing distance (see fig. 1).
For machine or conveyor mounting applications, the
lamp housing assembly can be optionally mounted
using the threaded holes for the clamping bracket
assembly (see fig. 2). Simply remove the clamping
bracket and reuse its mounting holes and screws to
attach to the desired mounting surface. If longer screws
are required, care should be taken not to exceed the
maximum mounting hole penetration depth of 1.25”.
(See fig. 3 for mounting hole pattern dimensions).

The lamp housing assembly can also be placed on a shelf type structure, supporting the unit by
its bottom outside edges. For this type of mounting, a windowed hole must be cut in the shelf,
which would provide adequate clearance for the unit’s bottom-side light exposure opening, and
also for the cooling air exhaust holes.
2.3 Shielding
All installations should incorporate adequate shielding of radiated UV light, in order to prevent
eye and skin burn of the operator or others passing through the work area (refer to UV Safety
Warning in the following Safety Considerations section of the manual). The optional UV0455
Flood Shield and the UV1094 Backside Flood Shield can be used with the IntelliRay to minimize
the amount of stray UV light scattering in the work area. Custom shielding may be constructed
using sheet metal, UV blocking acrylic or polycarbonate to prevent operator exposure to UV
radiation.
WARNING: To prevent risk of eye or skin burn, all personnel must be protected from
direct or indirect exposure to the UV light produced by the IntelliRay curing system.
Extreme care should be used when designing custom UV shielding to insure personnel
will not be exposed to harmful UV radiation. Additionally, UV protective glasses and
protective clothing should be used at all times while working in the vicinity of the UV
curing system.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
3
3.1 UV Safety Warning
Ultraviolet radiation can cause severe burns to eyes and skin. Do not look at the
light without protective eye shielding (UVITRON UV/IR safety glasses Part No.
UV0495, UV2231 or equivalent).
While thermal burns are felt immediately, UV burns are not felt for several hours. Short
exposure to UV lamp radiation can cause severe burning of skin and eyes. UV burn of eyes
affects the cornea and burning takes several days to heal. UV burn is identical to “Welders
Burn” and will feel like sand in the eyes that cannot be washed out. The discomfort is temporary
and has no lasting effects. Some effects of UV radiation can cause permanent damage to the
eyes. Never look directly at the operating arc lamp, with or without UV protective glasses.
Exposure to UV radiation of only limited time will cause erythema (redness) on normal skin.
Remember that a few seconds of exposure to direct radiation of the lamp can cause burns equal
to a day in the sun. Such redness is temporary and will not produce blistering, or tanning, as
only a small amount of radiation penetrates deeply. Extended exposure to UV radiation can lead
to skin cancer. When operating the unit in production, the use of protective clothing and cotton
gloves is required.
3.2 Electrical Safety
High voltage and current energize the UV Lamp. A high voltage power supply and
Starter combination are designed to provide lamp-starting voltages, to limit
current, and subsequently provide a uniform output of energy. To avoid the risk of
electrical shock, do not remove the Lamp Access Panel or attempt to replace the
lamp before turning off the Power Input switch, and disconnecting the Input Power Cord. The
electrical system of this unit should be serviced by only UVITRON service personnel.
3.3 High Temperatures
Due to the high output power of this system, high temperatures may be present
on the surfaces of the Lamp, Reflector, and Lamp Housing Assembly. Extreme
care should be taken to prevent touching any of these surfaces before allowing
sufficient time for all temperatures to drop to safely back to room temperature
after power has been removed. Also, the Lamp Housing Assembly should never
be placed on or near any flammable surface while the lamp is on, or before its
temperature has cooled back to room temperature. Never place the lamp head or
parts to be cured on a heat sensitive surface. Always cure parts on a metallic or non-flammable
surface.
WARNING: Placing the Lamp Housing Assembly on or near flammable surfaces while the lamp
is on, or still hot could result in fire.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS (CONTINUED)
3
3.4 Ozone Safety
High concentrations of ozone (O3) can cause discomfort, or at sufficiently high
levels can be dangerous. Arc lamps that are used in light curing systems may
generate ozone when oxygen in the air is exposed to short wavelengths of light
produced by the lamp (<210 nm). This ozone generation can be avoided by
using arc lamps that are constructed with ozone-free quartz glass, which
absorbs the ozone producing wavelengths. This type of glass is used in
Uvitron’s UVA and visible type lamps. Unfortunately, this ozone-free glass also can reduce the
effectiveness of some curing processes that may require the absorbed short wavelengths (e.g.
those for some inks and coatings). For this reason, Uvitron’s UVB type lamps are not
constructed with ozone-free glass and should be used only in well ventilated work areas.
Another way to cope with the ozone is to exhaust the lamp air outdoors. Such exhausting
involves no danger as the hot ozone containing gas is very unstable and breaks down to oxygen
rapidly in ducting.
Although some IntelliRay system configurations generate ozone at a level that could barely be
detected by odor and at a level well below the 0.1 parts per million allowable limit for continuous
exposure (American Conference of Government Hygienists), it is recommended that all
IntelliRay lamps systems be operated in well ventilated areas. For U.S. government
recommended ozone exposure limits and additional ozone safety information, visit the following
OSHA web page:
https://www.osha.gov/dts/chemicalsampling/data/CH_259300.html
3.5 Lamp Recycling
UV curing arc lamps (sometimes referred to as bulbs) all contain some level of mercury, and
should be disposed of responsibly in accordance to local, state and federal
laws. Excellent guidelines for mercury lamp recycling can be obtained at the
following National Electrical Manufacturers Association website:
www.lamprecycle.org
Or call Uvitron customer service at [phone] for more information.

THEORY OF OPERATION
4
4.1 Light Curing
Ultraviolet Light (UV) exists around us as one of nature's phenomenon, an example of which is
Ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by natural sunlight. Ultraviolet light can also be artificially
produced by an electrical arc lamp enclosed in special glass to allow it passage (a UV arc
lamp).
Reactive materials called photoinitiators are added to resins for adhesive bonding, coating,
sealing, and printing. Ultraviolet light will cure these adhesives by causing the liquid resin to
polymerize, thus becoming a solid. This could be compared to two-part epoxies, which when
mixed in the proper proportions, turn from a liquid to a solid. Light curing resins, on the other
hand, are single component products ready to use as received without measuring or mixing, and
cure on-demand when exposed to UV light.
The photoinitiators added to the adhesive chemistry react to a specific range of light
wavelengths, and the speed of the reaction is governed primarily by the intensity (or irradiance)
of the light source for those wavelengths and by the chemistry of the adhesive. Approximate
adhesive cure time can be calculated as follows:
Curing Time [seconds] = Light Energy [Joules/cm2] / Light Intensity [Watts/cm2]
Adhesive manufactures typically specify the energy required for curing, or the required intensity
and time duration. For some adhesive types, the relationship between the speed of curing and
lamp intensity is not linear (doubling the intensity does not offer half the cure time). The fastest
and most complete reaction may occur at high peak intensity for a relatively short period of time.
This may be a more effective type of curing as compared to a similar (or even a higher) dose of
UV light, which is spread over longer period of time.
NOTE: Various types of adhesives, inks and coatings from different manufacturers have
different levels of reactivity which will require adjusting of exposure times for proper
curing. Consult with the adhesive manufacturer for appropriate cure times for each type
of material.
Light curable adhesives are typically cured using electromagnetic energy in the UV and visible
ranges of 250 to 450 nanometers (nm). It should be noted that ultraviolet light is easily
attenuated when attempting its transmission through any materials that are not extremely
transparent or optically pure. Even window glass will have reduced transmission or block most
UV wavelengths, and this attenuation is greater as wavelengths become shorter. For this
reason, applications that call for deep curing through thick adhesives layers require the longer
light wavelengths in the UV-A and visible ranges for maximum penetration. These longer
wavelengths are also required for curing through more opaque or colored adhesives and
substrate materials to reduce the effect of attenuation. Shorter wavelengths in the UV-B

Uvitron International INTELLI-RAY 600 Instruction Manual, Rev. T

THEORY OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)
4
and UV-C regions have more energy and are effective for curing and removal of surface tack for
thin layers of coatings, inks and paints.
To allow the IntelliRay curing system to adapt to these different types of curing applications,
multiple replacement lamp types are available which are optimized for each of the visible, UVA
and UVB wavelength ranges. See the Accessories list in section 10.2 for ordering part numbers
of the optional lamp types.

4.2 System Information
The IntelliRay 600 has a very high-power density light output, which will result in rapid, high
bond strength cures. The light intensity can be adjusted from 35 to 100% of total power using
the unit’s front panel keypad. The intensity can also be controlled somewhat by adjusting the
distance of the lamp head to the substrate being cured (shorter distance results in increased
light density and intensity). The lower intensity settings can be used for very reactive adhesives,
or for temperature sensitive curing substrates.
The IntelliRay 600 utilizes a metal halide type arc lamp, which is powered by a tightly regulated
switch-mode power supply. This combination provides high intensity and consistent light output,
resulting in very fast and repeatable product curing. The system’s timer-controlled shutter
precisely regulates the duration of light exposure to the product being cured. A system block
diagram is shown in Figure 9.

The following quick-start instructions give brief details on getting started with light curing. For
more curing or setup details, see “System Operation (Continued)” on the following pages.
6.1 Start Up
A. Mount the IntelliRay at an appropriate distance from the target curing surface. Plug the IEC
type connector of the AC Power Cord into the Power Input Receptacle at the rear of the Lamp
Housing. Plug in the opposite end of the power cord into a nearby single-phase power outlet.
B. To start the system, turn on the Input Power Switch at the rear of the unit.
C. A 2 minute warm-up time is required for the lamp to reach full intensity. During the warm-up
period, the system is automatically set to full power mode with the shutter closed, and the warm-
up time remaining is counted down on the LCD display.
D. Once warm-up is complete, the Ready LED will light, and the following message will appear
on the LCD display: Setup = ENTR, Cure Menu = MENU. Press MENU to proceed to curing. At
the Lamp Intensity prompt, type in the desired value followed by ENTR. At the Exposure Time
prompt, type in the desired number of seconds. Once the ENTR key is pressed, the shutter will
open for the requested time duration. To stop exposure prematurely, press ENTR again.
WARNING: Bluish light will be projected from the unit once the shutter is opened. This
ultra-violet light is harmful to the eyes and skin. UV Protective glasses and clothing are
required to prevent burns of eyes and skin. Care should also be taken to protect other
personnel in the area from unintentional exposure to UV radiation (Refer to section 3.1
for critical UV safety information).
NOTE: The IntelliRay system is designed for continuous operation. It is suggested that
the lamp remain on during work breaks. Frequent stopping and starting of the lamp will
reduce lamp life. In general, leave the unit in Standby Mode for periods of non-use of less
than thirty minutes. Since the lamp remains hot with the shutter closed, the unit will not
require a re-warming period before the lamp returns to full intensity. Once the input power
is switched off, the lamp may require up to 5 minutes of cooling time before restarting.
E. Setting lamp intensity from the menu prompt or by adjusting the lamp distance closer or
farther from the substrate being cured will increase or decrease intensity and curing time
accordingly. Refer to the adhesive manufacturer’s data sheet for appropriate exposure time and
intensity levels. Optimum curing settings may need to be determined experimentally.
6.2 Shut Down
To shut down the light cure system, simply shut off the rear panel Input Power Switch.

6.3 Keypad Key Descriptions
Digit Keys, 0 –9
The digit keys are used to enter numerical values for control parameter settings (such as lamp
intensity or exposure time). After the appropriate digit keys are pressed, the ENTR key must be
pressed to input the value.
The MENU Key
The MENU key has two functions:
•The primary function of the MENU key is to select the parameter or system setting that is to
be modified. Repeated pressing of the MENU key will allow the operator to step through
menu items until the parameter of interest is found. Then the particular parameter can be
modified using the Digit and ENTR keys.
•The second function of the MENU key is two clear incorrect or undesired values from the
display that may have been inadvertently entered by the operator. For example, if the user
intended to enter the value “15”, but by accident pressed the “1” key followed by the “4” key
(instead of the”1” and “5”), then the MENU key could be used to clear the incorrect entry.
This clearing action is only available before the ENTR key has been pressed to input the
current value. After the MENU key has been pressed to clear digits, the current menu item
will continue to be displayed to allow the operator to re-enter a new value.
The ENTR Key
The ENTR key also has two functions:
•The primary ENTR key function is to terminate the entry of numerical values, and to signal to
the system software that the operator has completed entering a new value’s digits. Once the
appropriate digit keys are pressed, the ENTR key must be pressed for the new value to take
effect.
•The ENTR key’s second function is to select or toggle between menu choices, or to toggle
settings ON or OFF. For instance, when in the Setup Menu’s Beeper ON/OFF display, the
ENTR key can be pressed to toggle the system audible beeper ON and OFF. Or if in the
Exposure Time menu, the ENTR key can be used to toggle the light exposure ON and OFF.
6.4 Using Menus
The IntelliRay’s operator interface is comprised of two circular type menu structures: The Cure
Menu, and the Setup Menu. These menus can be stepped through by repeated pressing of the
MENU key on the unit’s front panel keypad. When the end of a particular menu is reached, the
next press of the MENU key will cause a return back to the beginning of that same menu. To
enter a new menu, or exit the current menu, the operator will be prompted to press the ENTR
key. Any system parameters which are set at the various menu screens will be stored in non-
volatile memory and recalled automatically after AC input power is cycled. Refer to Fig. 5 below
for a map of the IntelliRay’s menus.

M3 Setup/Cure Menu Select
This screen is displayed after completion of the lamp warm-up period. The operator is prompted
to choose between entering the Setup Menu by pressing the ENTR key and entering the Curing
Menu by pressing the MENU key. Since all system setup parameters are stored in non-volatile
memory, the Setup Menu parameters will only have to be set once, unless changes to the
current values are desired.
M4 Lamp Intensity
When the Cure Menu is first entered, the Lamp Intensity screen will be displayed to allow the
operator to set the appropriate intensity level before curing begins. A new intensity may be set
by entering a value between 35 to 100%, followed by a press of the ENTR key. If the no change
of the displayed intensity is required, the MENU or ENTR key can be pressed to continue. Once
entry is completed, the menu display will auto advance to the Exposure Time prompt.
M5 Exposure Time
The Exposure Time setting is used to adjust the length of time the shutter will remain open, to
allow light to pass through to the substrate being cured. The time can be entered and displayed
in either seconds or hours (as selected in the Setup Menu Timer Units item S10).
If the currently displayed Exposure Time value is correct, the exposure can be turned ON by
simply pressing the ENTR key. If a new exposure time is desired, a value in the range of 1 to
9999 seconds (or hours) may be entered. In either case, once the ENTR key is pressed, timed
exposure will begin, and the Run Screen timer will count down to indicate time remaining. When
the timer expires, the shutter will automatically close, and the operator will be notified by two
short beeps. To terminate timed exposure before the timer has expired, press the ENTR key a
second time and the shutter will close.

If a value of 0 is entered for exposure time, then Manual Exposure will begin. This will result in
the shutter remaining open indefinitely, until a subsequent press of the ENTR key occurs to end
the exposure. During Manual Exposure, the Run Screen timer will count up, indicating the total
time that has elapsed.
NOTE: Any time the shutter is open, it can be closed immediately (exposure turned
OFF) by pressing the ENTR key.
If the MENU key is pressed twice while exposure is in progress, the Exposure Time screen will
be displayed, allowing the time setting to be changed without closing the shutter. If in either
Timed or Manual Exposure mode, the amount of time already elapsed will be subtracted from
the newly entered value, so that the total time of exposure will be equal to the new value
entered. If the time elapsed is greater or equal to the new value entered, the exposure will
terminate, and the shutter will close.
M6 Lamp/Oven Temperatures
This screen will display the internal temperature of the IntelliRay lamp head. If the IntelliRay is
being used with a Rayven Oven, then the Rayven internal temperature will also be displayed.
Note that in order for the oven temperature to be displayed, the DSUB interface cable must be
connected between the rear connectors of the IntelliRay and Rayven, and the door interlock
must be enabled in the Setup menu (Interlock ON/OFF item S7). If the interlock is not enabled
or if the Oven Over-temperature alarm is disabled by a setting of less or equal to 0°C (32°F) in
the Setup menu, then the word OFF will be displayed for oven temperature. The units for the
temperature display can be selected as degrees F or C in the Temp Unit Setup menu item S8.
M7 Alarm Log (Appears Only When Alarm(s) Active)
When the IntelliRay control system detects an alarm condition has occurred, an audible beeping
will sound and a pop-up “ALARM PRESENT, ENTR to View” message will be sent to the LCD
display. To view & acknowledge the active alarm and silence its’ beeping, press the ENTR key.
As long as this or any other previously detected alarm condition persists, an extra Alarm Log
menu item M7 will be present at the end of the main menu that will identify the existing
problem(s) with appropriate messages on the LCD display. See System Alarms in section 9.2
for more information.
M8 Shutter Open (Run Screen)
When timed or manual exposure has been started from the Exposure Time screen, then the run
screen is automatically displayed, showing the following system parameters:
Intn = Current lamp intensity
Timer = Current value of Exposure Timer
Hours = Age of arc lamp in hours (not displayed when exposure timer set for Hours)

While the Run Screen is displayed, the MENU key may be pressed to switch to the Intensity or
Exposure Time screens, allowing values to be changed “on the fly” (without closing the shutter).
When the exposure timer expires, the Run Screen is cleared, and the Exposure Timer screen is
again displayed.
6.6 Descriptions of Setup Menu Items
S1 Enter Password
The Setup menu can be protected by a password to prevent changing of critical system
parameters by unauthorized users. If the setup password is enabled (see Set Password below),
then the correct password must be entered before access to the Setup menu is allowed.
Passwords are in the range of 0 to 9999. If the operator doesn’t know the password, or does not
wish to enter it, then he may press the MENU button to back-out of the Setup menu and return
to Curing. If the password value is forgotten or lost, then the Uvitron customer service
department may be contacted to obtain a temporary password.
S2 COM Port Type
The IntelliRay may be controlled remotely via a RS232 or RS485 serial port connection to a
Personal Computer. RS232 can be used to communicate over short distances (< 25 feet) with a
single IntelliRay, while RS485 can be used to network multiple units over longer distances (up to
eight IntelliRay systems may be controlled from a single computer). At the COM Port Selection
screen, the port type can be alternately toggled by pressing the ENTR key.
S3 COM Port Unit ID
Because multiple IntelliRay units can be networked over a single serial cable, each unit must
have the ability to be assigned a unique unit identifier to allow each to be addressed separately.
Therefore, the COM Port Unit ID of each networked IntelliRay should be set to a different value,
and the ID setting at the computer should match the unit ID of the IntelliRay that is to be
controlled. Each IntelliRay’s Unit ID can be set from the COM Port Unit ID screen by entering a
unique value from 0 to 7.
S4 Key Click / Exposure Cycle Beeper ON/OFF
The system’s audible beeper can be toggled ON or OFF from this screen by alternate pressing
of the ENTR key. Setting the beeper to OFF will prevent keypad key-clicks, as well as beeping
at the end of timed exposure cycles.
S5 System Alarm Beeper ON/OFF
The system’s audible alarm beeper can be toggled ON or OFF from this screen by alternate
pressing of the ENTR key. Setting the alarm beeper to OFF will prevent audible alert beeping
when any system alarm conditions occur (such as over-temperature conditions).

S6 Backlight ON/OFF
The LCD display’s backlight can be toggled ON or OFF from this screen by alternate pressing of
the ENTR key.
S7 Interlock ON/OFF
The IntelliRay has a shutter safety interlock signal which is available on the unit’s rear panel
DSUB connector (see Fig. 6). This signal may be used to force the shutter closed when the door
is opened on the optional UV1080 Rayven Oven, or it may be used in a similar fashion with
customer designed enclosures, fixtures or machinery. The interlock signal can be toggled ON or
OFF from this Setup Menu screen by alternate pressing of the ENTR key. When the interlock
signal is ON and the signal is activated (signal has open connection), the shutter will close if it is
open, and the unit will ignore any command to open the shutter. During this condition, the front
panel Standby light will flash to signal the operator that an interlock opening has occurred, and
the current timer count will be held on the LCD display. Once the interlock is closed, timing from
the last exposure value can be continued by pressing the ENTR key, or cleared to the
previously set starting value by pressing the MENU key.
S8 Temperature Units, Degrees F/C
This menu item will allow the user to select whether the Lamp head and Oven temperatures will
be displayed in units of degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. At the Temp Unit selection screen, the
timer units can be alternately toggled by pressing the ENTR key.
S9 Oven Over-Temperature Alarm Setting
The value set in this menu item will determine the temperature in the curing chamber at which
an alarm will be triggered to warn the operator that temperature has risen to an unacceptable
level. The alarm will also reduce lamp power to its minimum level to prevent further heating. The
over-temperature setting is adjustable because some applications are more sensitive than
others with respect to chamber temperature rise. Possible reasons for elevated temperature
may be high system room ambient temperature, obstructed cooling air inlets or outlets, or
blocked rear panel air filter. Note that if the IntelliRay is not connected to an oven temperature
sensor (such as is present in the Rayven curing chamber), then an over-temperature alarm
setting equal to zero Celsius (32 Fahrenheit) can be entered to disable this alarm.
S10 Exposure Timer Units, Seconds/Hours
Most curing applications require short exposure times that are best displayed in seconds.
However, some conveyor curing and artificial aging applications require long exposures which
are best displayed with timer units in hours. This menu item will allow the user to select whether
the exposure time will be entered and displayed in units of seconds or hours. At the Timer Unit
selection screen, the timer units can be alternately toggled by pressing the ENTR key.
