WARNING!
- It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that all devices are set-up in a safe manner.
- The manufacturer is in no way responsible for injuries or damage to persons or property resulting from the device.
- For safe and successful operation of the unit, read these instructions completely. If the instructions are not observed, the manufacturer can assume no responsibility.
- Removing, bypassing or putting out of operation any of the safety devices can result in radiation damage to persons and damage to the unit and is therefore prohibited!
- Do not look directly at LED-UV light, or at LED-UV light reflected in a mirror or other reflective surface. Doing so could cause eye damage.
- Install the LED head in a way that individuals are not exposed to LED-UV light.
- Exposure could injure the skin or cause other injury.
- If there is a risk of the LED-UV light being exposed to persons, place the product inside a cover with proper reflectance and heat characteristics to block that reflected light.
- When operating the controller, set up the system so that the path of the LED-UV light is not at eye level.
- It is strongly recommended to place a protective barrier around the product so that people cannot approach it while it is operating.
- Wear protective UV glasses and other protective clothing during operation.
- Never operate this product in a manner not described in this manual. Doing so risks exposure to LED UV light.
- Damage to the power cord or the housing can result in contact with live electrical parts.
- Check the power cord and the unit before each use. If the power cord or the unit is damaged, do not operate! Replace a damaged power cord with a new one.
- The unit may be opened and repaired only by authorized service personal.

Usage
The Loctite EQ controller is used with the 365nm and 405nm LED spot head for use with light cure products that cure when exposed to ultraviolet and/or visible light. The system can be operated manually, operated with the integrated timer, or controlled with an external switch. The system is designed for intermittent or constant duty cycle.
Description
Theory of Operation
The EQ Controller provides electrical power to the LED’s through the connecting cable.
Indicator lights located on the front panel of the power supply provide visual confirmation that the LED’s are in or out of their acceptable range. In the event of temperature fault the power supply will automatically shut down to protect the LED array.
When the cure cycle is initiated, light is immediately irradiated at or near maximum intensity from the LED’s.
The curing process begins when the adhesive is placed under the LED’s. The two primary variables that control the curing process are the time of exposure and the strength of the light (irradiance). For a given irradiance, the exposure time required to fully cure the adhesive depends primarily on the properties of the adhesive and the optical properties of the substrate that the light is transmitted through.
Note: The cooling fan on the LED Spot Head ON during the exposure cycle ONLY.

Operating Mode selection: Continue, Timer or Advance
Continue Mode: The LED head will turn ON when a footswitch is pressed and remain ON until the footswitch is released. The intensity can be set up for each channel independently.
Timer Mode: The LED head will turn ON when a footswitch is pressed and remain ON for the duration that is set on the timer. If the time is set to 0 then when a footswitch is pressed the LED head will turn ON and remain ON until the Footswitch is pressed again. The intensity can be set up for each channel independently.
Advance Mode: This enables intensity to change automatically during the curing cycle. -
Link Button: The linked LED head will turn on with start signal.

Application Hints
As with all adhesives, performance depends on conditions of use. Suggestions or recommendations contained herein are for guidance only since actual conditions of use are outside the supplier’s control.
Troubleshooting
Before proceeding with any repair or maintenance operation disconnect the tool from the main electricity supply.
Malfunction | Cause/Demonstration | Corrective Action |
---|---|---|
No display appears on the screen when turning on power supply | Check that the | |
main power cable is connected to an AC source. | Plug in power cable properly. | |
Check the fuse in power inlet. | Replace fuse. | |
LED head does not irradiate | Check if selecting the target channel for the | |
program. | Select the target channel when setting the program. | |
Check if the UV intensity level is set to 0% in the channel program. | If it is |
0%, set the UV intensity level to 1% or higher.
Temperature warning| The channel connection indicator changes to orange when
the LED head temperature has reached the warning level. If you continue the
operation in this condition, the product life will be significantly shortened,
and the temperature may exceed the upper limit 65°C, causing an emergency
stop.| Set the UV intensity level(%) lower or improve the heat radiation
performance of the LED head to keep the temperature lower than the warning
level.
Check if the fan on the LED head is working well.| Replace the fan, make sure
there is good heat exhaust for LED head.
LED head Connection Error| Check the connection cable or LED head is broken or
disconnected.| Reset the error status, check the connection of the cable and
LED head with the channel in question, and replace them if necessary.
Check if the LED head has been removed from the controller.| Reconnect the LED
head.
The linked LED head does not turn on with start signal| Check if linked button
was selected.| Resolve the problem, and then restart irradiation
Care and Maintenance
The unit requires no special care and maintenance.
Observe the operating manual of the LED head used.
