It is possible to control this equipment and make settings through the command (communication) from the computer us-
ing RS232C. To use the personal computer (PC hereunder) with this unit, connect them with the RS232C (cross) cable.

Without time-out setting, the data division is identified by the 
delimiter only.
Communication is executed, in principle, by sending a com-
mand from PC to the unit and returning the result code for 
the received command from the unit to PC (Fig. 1). 
However,  communication  is  initiated  by  the  unit  only  when 
there is a change in the status (“INP” result code). (Fig. 2)

•  Time between reception of command and transmission of result 

code: Less than 500 ms

•  Time between reception of command and start of lamp and dia-

phragm operation: Less than 50 ms

•  Time between reception of command and start of shutter opera-

tion: Less than 25 ms

•  Number of command buffers: 20, “ERR” is output when the buf-

fers overflow.

With an Optical Feedback Unit (option) installed to LIGHTING CURE LC8 Series, it is possible to control light feedback 
(automatic control of opening/closing of the diaphragm) of the light source while in the AUTO mode.

Adjustment of Optical Feedback Unit (Option)

 Adjustment of output intensity

q

  Turn on the lamp and wait until the lamp stable indicator lamp lights up.

w

  Install the output intensity meter (UV meter) to the light guide and make 

it ready for measurement.

e

  Press the SHIFT and SELECT buttons in the PROGRAM mode to have the output inten-

sity displayed and then open the shutter by pressing the SHUTTER MANUAL button.

r

  Keep pressing the UP button for about 3 seconds or until flashing of the 

output intensity indicator on the LCD panel stops.

t

  Keep pressing the SHIFT and SELECT buttons for 3 seconds or longer to exit the 

PROGRAM mode and press the SHUTTER MANUAL button to close the shutter.

y

  Press the MANUAL button of the shutter to open the shutter.

u

  Using  a  precision  screwdriver,  turn  the  light  output  adjusting  screw  so 

that the value indicated on the light source agrees with that indicated on 
the output intensity meter (UV meter).

i

  Continue setting of the output intensity program.

*  It is possible to adjust the output intensity even without performing steps 

e

 

to 

t

 but note that the accuracy in that case would not be as good as when 

those steps are performed.

 Precautions when using Optical Feedback Unit

For adjustment of the output intensity, be sure to use the 
UV meter made by Hamamatsu Photonics. 
It may not be possible to set the output intensity with any 
other manufacturer’s meter. Also, note that the output in-
tensity value indicated on this unit does not guarantee the 
absolute value. This is why it is necessary to check the 
output intensity using the UV meter made by Hamamatsu 
Photonics during the before work inspection.

Be watchful for dirt on the light guide. 
If the end of the light guide for light output becomes dirty 
after adjusting the output intensity, the output intensity as 
set in advance may not be obtained. Also, such dirt may 
hinder proper output intensity adjustment and lead to a 
faulty feedback setting.

Output intensity setting must not exceed the maximum 
output intensity level.
The output intensity of the lamp is deteriorated as the op-
eration time increases. Note that when the output intensity 
is set to a higher level, a faulty optical feedback setting may 
occur even within the guaranteed service life of the lamp.

Use a #00 precision screwdriver when adjusting the 
output intensity adjusting screw. The output intensity ad-
justing screw is located about 15 mm inside of the frame 
surface. Be very careful when inserting the screwdriver.

Make sure that the light guide is installed securely before 
adjusting the output intensity. Without the light guide be-
ing installed properly, it is not possible to adjust the output 
intensity correctly. Also opening the shutter when the light 
guide is not installed may cause strong ultraviolet rays to 
be emitted, possibly resulting in a damage to eyesight.

 Program setting method

Use the same program setting method and operation procedure in the 
AUTO mode as those described in pages 30, 31.
