Mounting the UV Head

Mount the UV LED Head in a location where it can be easily accessed and operated. Secure the head using the mounting brackets provided in the package.

**UV LED Head

**

WARNING
Do not block the air intake or the exhaust fans for the UV LED module’s cooling system. Ensure that both intake and exhaust vents located on the LED heads have at least 5 inches (12cm) of clearance to allow sufficient air flow.
The UV LED Head includes threaded mounting holes (on the front, on the back, and on each side panel) M4 X 6mm deep. Mounting hole locations on the side panel are identical for all AC9- models. However, front and back mounting hole locations differ according to the model.  Refer to Figure 2 above and mechanical drawings for more information (www.excelitas.com/omniure).
Never mount the system using only one row of mounting features or from one side as this may damage the unit.
For applications requiring adjoining UV LED heads, mounting rails can be constructed from two long L-brackets.  Remember in adjoining-head applications to remove the end-reflectors from all head-head abutment regions to maximize head-head optical uniformity. The end-reflectors on the end-most points of the optical line can remain in place to further extend uniform operating length and operate as a UV shield for operators.
CAUTION
The threaded mounting holes in the AC9- incorporate a blind configuration; ensure that the appropriate length of mounting hardware is used. Attempting to install over-length mounting screws could damage the threaded mounting holes and internal components.

Adjusting the Side Reflectors

To improve the longitudinal uniformity at the ends of the UV light line, the AC9- series products are equipped with adjustable end reflectors (see Figure 2 ). These reflectors can be lowered in 10mm increments and can provide about 15mm of extended useful length when fully extended to 30mm working distance. They may also be useful in providing additional operator shielding of UV light.
To gain best effect from this mechanical feature, ensure that in the intended installation location the reflectors will not interfere with conveyed parts or conveyor belt or other mechanical attachments. Failure to do so may result in damage to ancillary hardware or the UV LED Head itself.
To adjust the reflectors:

1. Ensure that power to the unit is switched off.
2. Remove the two screws holding the end reflector in place.
3. Move the reflector down to the desired position, insert and tighten the two retaining screws.

This operation can also be performed on a single head.
CAUTION
When the end reflectors are detached from the head, the ends of the optical assembly and LED modules can be physically accessed. Take extreme care not to allow fingers, tools or other foreign objects or debris to come into contact with these areas. Doing so may severely damage or impair the function of your AC9-series UV LED head. The installer should minimize the amount of time or frequency that these regions of the LED head are left unprotected.
