Installing the Lamp Module

The OmniCure S1500 Pro UV curing system is available with the choice of two different lamps. UV1 standard curing lamp and UV3 Surface curing lamp, choose the appropriate lamp for your curing needs.
Warning : Exposure to Mercury represents a health hazard to humans. When unpacking or installing the lamp, always wear protective clothing and a facemask.

  1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the unit.

  2. Remove the screws from the lamp access side panel using the tool (3mm Allen key) provided and remove the cover panel from the unit.

  3. Carefully remove the lamp module from its container, handling only by the ceramic component and glass rim.
    Warning : Wear ESD protective equipment when handling the lamp and avoid touching the circuit board.

  4. As illustrated, position the lamp facing towards the front of the unit with the power cords facing towards you.
    Warning : Do not touch the bulb’s glass envelope or the inside surface of the reflector. Skin oils can cause the lamp module to fail prematurely.

  5. Make sure the middle of the lamp is in position to fit into the spring clamp. Slide the lamp until it snaps into the spring clamp. The leading edge of the reflector should fit snugly into the lamp holder recess.

  6. Locate the 6-pin Intelli-Lamp® sensor connector at the rear of the lamp module and connect it to its mate located behind the lamp housing wall.
    Note : The Intelli-lamp connector will only attach in the correct orientation. If you are having difficulty attaching the connector, try rotating it by 180º.

  7. Tuck the Intelli-Lamp wires into the grommet located on the divider wall between the lamp and the connector.
    Waring : Failure to do so will result in the door not fully closing and the system will not power on.

  8. Locate the Power connector with two leads and connect it to its mate located on the bottom of the lamp housing wall.
    Tip: The Lamp Power connector will only attach in the correct orientation. If you are having difficulty inserting the connector, try rotating it by 180º.

  9. Ensure that the lamp anode cooling fin (bar) and lamp power lead at the front of the lamp are centred within the lamp holder cutout. Rotate the lamp as required.
    Note : If you are also installing a filter, skip step 10 below and proceed to Install the Optical Filter (Page 4).

  10. Replace the lamp housing side panel and fasten the screws.
    Warning : If the lamp housing panel is not secured completely, the unit will not power on.

The OmniCure S1500 Pro UV curing system is equipped with user-changeable optical filter cartridges. Seven different filter options are available to choose from: 400-500nm, 365nm, 320-390nm, 250-450nm, 320-500nm, no filter, and customer filter.

Choose the appropriate optical filter for your curing needs:

  1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the unit.
  2. Remove the screws from the lamp access side panel using the provided 3mm Allen Key and remove the panel from the unit cover.
  3. Carefully remove the filter cartridge from its packaging and insert into the slot with the filter’s model number tag pointing towards the lamp.
  4. Secure the filter to the system with the provided M4 screws using the 3mm Allen key.
  5. Replace the lamp housing side panel and tighten the fastening screws.
  6. Reconnect the AC power cord and turn on the Power switch at the back of the unit to turn the system ON.

Note : If the filter is properly installed, the system will automatically recognize the filter type. The filter type is displayed in the “Information” section of the GUI.
