This manual is designed for technical personnel and is written to provide
an understanding of the equipment, as well as a plan for troubleshooting.
All OLEC lights respond to existing conditions. There are no fixed
cycles or timers. This allows the unit to respond correctly to conditions
that are not normal to operation, such as power failure or surges. Learning
what conditions cause the various responses will guide you to the
solutions.
This manual was written in several sections, each to provide information
in a different manner or specialized locations. Here is a quick guide to
the sections.
Features: A comparison between our lights and conventional light
sources, with an explanation of each feature, is provided to demonstrate
why we chose to design a light source so different from other sources.
Component Layout: Where to look for components referred to in the
manual.
Note: The AL9 and AL13 units are very similar. The AL15, ALI15,
AL19, AL20, AL23 (power supply only for the AL23) units are
very similar but some have fewer parts. The AL23 (lamphead
only for the AL23) AL25, AL25-2, AL35, AL50, AL53, AL54,
AL54-480, AL55, AL55-480, AL56, AL56-480, AL83, AL84,
AL84-480, AL85 and AL100 (power supply only for the AL100)
units are very similar but some have fewer parts. The AL100
lamphead shares some of the same internal components with the
other lampheads but the arrangement is quite different.
Troubleshooting: An outline of where to look for various symptoms.
This guide refers to the more detailed information in the general
information section that follows.
General: Contains specific information about the components in the
light and the path of the signals and power. It can be used for information,
or used with the troubleshooting guide.
Lamp Head Signals: Provides information about all the conductors to
the lamp head, their functions, and the voltages present.
Light Function States: A chart of the different functions the board
directs and the conditions that cause these functions. There is also a
description of the states.
Printed Circuit Board Pins: Provides the pin-outs from the printed
circuit board and an explanation of each.
Schematics: Full-unit schematics are provided. They are for the AL 9,
AL 13, AL 15, ALI 15, AL19, AL20, AL23, AL35, AL50, AL53, AL54,
AL54-480, AL55, AL55-480, AL56, AL56-480, AL83, AL84, AL84480, AL85, AL100.

2.Safety
Questions have been raised regarding the possible danger of exposure to
UV for equipment operators using high power lights. We address this
issue in terms of overall safety of such lights. OLEC lights are UL
approved and meet the strictest US electrical and safety standards,
including all OSHA requirements. Users and dealers should insist on
U.S. safety approval. It is required by law.
The Nature of UV
UV rays have been divided into three categories: UV“A” from 400315nm, UV“B” from 315-280nm, UV“C” for the shorter waves. UV
extends to about 10nm but air will filter out most rays shorter than 200
nm. To put this into perspective, the “near UV” or UV“A” is immediately
adjoining the visible spectrum extending from the color violet. Violet
extends to about 380 nm; red is at the opposite end of the visible spectrum
at 700 nm (see Illustration: Electromagnetic Spectrum). Most light
sources, including light bulbs, emit a certain amount of UV.
UV, Source of Health
Before one becomes unduly concerned with the harm UV can cause, it is
important to understand the many beneficial effects connected with
working outside and in bright areas with a certain amount of the “right”
UV. The germicidal effect, for instance, can rid the air of bacteria and is
used for that purpose extensively in hospitals. Exposure of the skin to
UV produces Vitamin D, necessary for the formation of bones and teeth.
Exposure to UV“A” is essential to life itself. Most life, human, animal
and plant, depends on it for growth and health.
Bad UV
One must avoid UV“B” and UV“C” even in small doses. UV“A” is
harmful only through overexposure. Never confuse the effects of UV
with the great harm that can be caused by microwave and X-ray radiation,
much of such damage being irreversible.
UV in Nature
Sunlight contains an abundance of UV, UV“A”, “B” and “C”, and the
negative effects of overexposure to sunshine have become well known.
These are primarily sunburn, sore eyes, headaches. Cataracts and skin
cancer are caused by prolonged exposure. Very damaging is the
erythematic energy, UV“B”, that penetrates the natural filter of ozone in
the upper layers of the atmosphere.
94MS20 Rev. B42-1
Ozone, UV“B” and UV“C”
No UV“C” is generated by OLEC lamps. OLEC lights and lamps use
“Ozone Free Quartz” for safety reasons to filter out most of the potentially
harmful rays in the UV“B” region. Some manufacturers do not use “ozone
free quartz.” Such lamps require greatly enhanced protection through
safety glass, curtains, light tight housings, and special exhaust systems
to rid the air of ozone. If you smell ozone in your workplace, speak to
your supervisor or employer. DO NOT work under those conditions!
Safety Glass
Carefully selected safety glass is used on all OLITE UV lights under
the reflector. It filters out nearly all the remaining UV“B” so effectively
that any transmission is almost impossible to measure. This safety glass
is equipped with an important electrical interlock to prevent use of the
light if the glass is missing or installed improperly. Never use a light that
does not have a protective safety glass.
Light Leaks
Light heads that leak light around the safety glass during idling periods
should be avoided. Light above the safety glass always contains a certain
amount of UV“B”, particularly when NON-ozone free lamps” are used.
Poorly constructed light housings, with even small parts of the lighted
area of the lamp or the reflector visible during standby, can be dangerous.
Such lights are best used within an enclosure that is shut completely at
all times, especially during extended idling time. According to NIOSH,
UV“B” is quite different in its effect from UV“A.” It is cumulative and
between 600 to 1000 times as destructive.
Being exposed to constant UV leakage during idling time can quickly
exceed the daily maximum safe limit and eventually cause serious
personal damage. Never use or have anyone else use a light with leaks
past the safety glass (where you can see lamp or reflector from any
direction)!
Overexposure to UV
What constitutes overexposure to UV“A” should be considered in terms
of safe limits and the trade-off between documented health-promoting
effects of UV and danger of overexposure. For the UV“A” region, the
UV effecting exposure on film and plates, it is recommended that the
total radiant incidence on unprotected skin and eyes should not exceed
1.0 mW per cm2 for periods longer than 1000 seconds (16 minutes). This
is the Standard, documented and recommended by the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health, NIOSH, a basis for OSHA.
For UV intensity under 1.0 mW per cm2 there is no time limit. With
higher intensity the time should be reduced so that the total dose does
not exceed 1000 mW-sec/cm2 (1 mW/sec = 1 mJoule).

Path of Power to the PC Board
This section is useful when there is no power reaching the PC board (no
LEDs lighted). Before tracing the power, check the fuse on the PC board
and the incoming power.
The power cord enters the rear of the unit. The two hot conductors are
connected by wire nuts to wires that are in turn connected to the front of
a terminal strip. One of these two wires passes through a fuse and on
208/240V~ 60Hz units is then connected to a voltage selector switch,
then is connected to taps on a step-down autotransformer. This
transformer is located under the terminal strip on the component bracket
near the dividing wall. The transformer tap marked 120V~ becomes the
unit common and returns to the terminal strip. The other line wire is
connected to the transformer common and becomes the hot 120V~ lead
to the PC Board and also returns to the terminal strip. The power is
distributed from the strip and a pair of wires goes to the PC board.
Interlock System
The internal interlock system serves two purposes. The first is for operator
safety by insuring the safety glass is in place before operation. This glass
filters short UV radiation and covers the high voltage lamp terminals.
This interlock also protects from overheating by traveling through two
thermostats in the lamp head. There is also an outlet on some equipment
marked “interlock” and is not used in this equipment.
The internal interlock is a loop that travels through the light head, passing
through the glass switch and two thermostats. This interlock is in series
with the control circuit of the large relays in the power supply. When the
interlock is opened, the relays will open and cut the power to the lamp
terminals. The PC board senses the drop in voltage and closes the shutter.
The first place to check is the glass switch. The switch lever is located
near the edge of the glass on the end of the lamp where the cable enters.
By releasing the glass, the lever can be seen. If the lever can slip past the
glass, it should be bent slightly toward the reflector. If the switch is closed,
the loop can be traced. First measure the voltage between lamp wires (#4
V~ Common) and wire (#10 Interlock). The presence of voltage between
these terminals indicates an open loop. This loop travels to the lamp
head on wire (#10), then to the glass switch, the far end thermostat, the
near end thermostat and terminates on wire (#4). The thermostats are
mounted in the air tubes leading to the lamp. There are no splices in the
air tubes.

Lamp Voltage
The lamp voltage measurement can provide useful information for lamp
striking, lamp output, and level switching information. The meter used
to measure can cause different results. We use caution when using digital
meters in our factory, due to the trigger pulses on the lamp before striking.
The waveforms are not sinusoidal, so different meters may produce
different results. Here is a chart with typical measurements:
*When using the L1252 or L1261 the AL35 has only high and low power.
Lamp Power Path
The basic path that the power to the lamp takes is almost identical for all
units. The basic path is incoming line, main power relay, ballasts,
capacitors, trigger board, and then the lamp. See the point to point wiring
diagrams for each light source in section 7.
5-294MS20 Rev. B4
!
Trigger Board
A trigger board is provided in the light head to start the lamp. This board
operates on demand by sensing the lamp voltage. This board can be heard
when it is functioning, although the sound is faint. By turning the unit on
and off, the sound can be compared during trigger and cool-down. In
both situations, the fans are running full speed. The fans may be disabled
by pulling the blue wire from terminal #5 to aid in determining if the
trigger board is functioning.
C Use caution that the lamp doesn’t run without cooling.
The trigger board is located in the lamp head, in the end where the cable
enters. It is located in the cool air path inside the air plenum. One lamp
lead is in series with the trigger transformer [(1) input (3) output], the
other lamp lead (2) is used to sense the lamp voltage. Outside the unit,
the board can be tested by putting 350-750V~ between terminals [(1)
and (3)], and causing an arc from terminal (3) to terminal (1). This arc
should be .015" or greater.

Capacitors and Level Switching
The capacitors pass all the current that flows through the lamp. They are
also used to switch power levels.
The capacitors for the light sources are divided into two or three sections.
All units have one or two idle capacitors, they are connected with a yellow
wire. There are one or two medium power capacitors (in tri-level light
sources only) connected with a brown wire. There are one or more high
power capacitors connected with a blue wire. All capacitors have an
orange wire which acts as a common.
The capacitors for high and medium levels are pulled in with relays during
warm-up and exposures. The medium relay will pull in to select medium
power. In all lights the medium relay will also always pull in for high
power exposures.
The capacitors set the operating current of the lamp. If the lamp output
has changed rapidly, inspect the capacitors for swelling. The design of
capacitor we use will burn open if it begins to short. A swollen capacitor
should be replaced, and the unit should be tested to see that the capacitor
did not damage the high or medium relay. To test the unit’s ability to
switch power levels, make a manual exposure, then switch between the
power levels, noting the change in intensity. When switching down in
power, allow the unit three seconds to respond.

Shutter
The shutter is controlled by the PC board, with information from a switch
in the lamp head to provide position information. During cool-down and
exposure, the shutter is open and during warm-up and idle, the shutter is
closed.
The PC board compares the shutter position with the requested position.
The shutter motor will run until the switch position matches. The shutter
motor has a brake that is magnetically operated. Whenever the power is
released from the motor, the brake falls into a slot. There is an LED on
the PC board that lights whenever the shutter is being energized. (Look
in the PC board pin section for a diagram of the LEDs).
Shutter Switch
The switch provides shutter position information to the PC board. This
switch is in the lamp end where the cable enters, inside the manifold
cover. The cam is in the chamber with the shutter. A failure of the switch
can cause the shutter to rotate continuously or erratically. Similar
problems may be due to the shutter motor brake, the idle setting, or the
PC board.
The switch contacts close when the shutter is fully open and remain closed
until the shutter closes. This level can be measured on the terminal strip
from terminal 9 (+) to terminal 7 (-). The level is 12 VDC when the
shutter is closed, and 0 V when the shutter opens. The switch is in the
lamp head on the end where the cable enters inside the air manifold on
older units. On newer units we use the normally open contacts, COM
contact and the center contact. We use the normally closed contacts, the
two outside leads, not the center contact. This switch is adjustable on
older units. We recommend scribing a line around the switch and the
bracket, if replacement is necessary, to return to the same position. The
switch roller should be centered on the cam and closed when the cam
pushes the wheel on the switch halfway.
Shutter Brake
The motor that drives the shutter has a brake that is magnetically operated.
When the motor core magnetizes, it pulls a lever to release the brake. If
the shutter coasts or rotates continuously, look at the shutter LED on the
PC board. On early boards, where there are three LEDs in a row near the
front of the power supply, it is the third from the front of the power
supply. On the newer models, there are five in a row; it is the fourth from
the front of the power supply. When this light goes out, the shutter brake
should engage. If the shutter coasts, the brake may have failed. The shutter
may coast to the point where the switch will switch again to cause the
motor to energize. The LED on the board will flash if this occurs.

Shutter Motor
The shutter motor is located in the lamp head on the side with the shutter
drive chain. We recommend checking the power and signals from the
switch and to the motor coil, before entering the lamp head. These items

Idle Setting
The idle level occurs between exposures and low power exposures. The
idle setting determines the power and temperature of the lamp, while at
idle. It also allows for much lower idle power than was ever attainable
before.
This lower power level provides a wider light output range, low power
consumption, lower heat generation, and increased lamp life. At low
power levels, the lamps normally become unstable. If over cooled, they
begin to dissipate less energy, which causes them to cool more. This can
continue until they extinguish. When lamps become hotter at idle, they
become more efficient and dissipate more energy, making them hotter
still. This becomes stable, and is commonly done in conventional light
sources, but will shorten the life of the lamp and wastes energy. We have
chosen to servo the cooling, by sensing the lamp condition and adjusting
the cooling to regulate the idle temperature.
The idle setting is done at the factory and is rarely necessary in the field.
Always check all other causes of problems before changing the setting.
If the lamp becomes too cool during operation, the board will sense this
level and initiate a warm-up cycle. During warm-up, the shutter will close
and will not open until the unit is sufficiently warm. A symptom of this
is: after an exposure is started, the shutter will open, then close again for
several seconds, before finishing the exposure. This should only happen
if the unit is left in idle for a period of time. Successive rapid exposures
would not fail, since it takes many minutes for the unit to over cool. This
over cooling situation could also be due to a bad idle capacitor, which
would not allow sufficient energy to the lamp to keep it warm.
After checking the capacitors, mark the factory setting of the trimpot
that is located on the back side of the PC board. The trimpot sets the
power level that the lamp idles at. Turning the trimpot counterclockwise
will first slow the lamp blowers. As the lamp reaches the new idle setting,
the blowers will speed up to hold the new level. Setting with a meter is
done by measuring the lamp voltage on terminals 2 and 3. See Lamp
Voltage for proper idle voltage setting. The voltage will increase with a
counterclockwise and decrease with a clockwise direction. This voltage
change is a secondary effect after the lamp has responded to the change
in cooling. The changes should be done in small increments, waiting
between adjustment for the voltage to stabilize the lamp temperature.
The idle setting affects the power that the lamp attains on warm-up cycle,
before switching to idle and the idle temperature of the lamp. If the setting
is too high (too far counterclockwise), the unit will run at high power,
with no cooling until the thermostats switch the unit off. The idle
temperature of the lamp affects its life and reliability. If the idle setting is
too low (too far clockwise ), the lamp will be slow to come to power for
exposures, and the unit may close the shutter, after the unit has begun to
expose to warm back to power. For these reasons, please take care when
making this adjustment and check for other problems first.
94MS20 Rev. B45-19
Lamp Head Blowers
The lamp head blowers are controlled by the printed circuit board to
provide the correct cooling to the lamp. During warm-up, the blowers
are off or run very slowly. At idle and during low exposure, the blowers
vary in speed. Both at high exposure and cool-down the blowers run at
full speed.
A symptom of a defective blower would be: during high power exposure,
after approximately 10 seconds, the lamp extinguishes and requires 2 to
4 minutes to restart. One blower will speed up to compensate for the
defective blower or low power. When the unit switches to high power,
the additional heat causes one of the lamp thermostats to open. (See also
Interlock System for information on the thermostats.)
To test the blowers, turn the power supply main switch on then off. During
the cool-down cycle, place a piece of paper over each intake vent located
on the lamp end. The paper should be drawn to the lamp end. If one lamp
end does not draw, that blower is suspect.
To replace the blower in the lamp head, see Opening Lamp Head.
Blown Fuse on PC Board
If the fuse blows on the printed circuit board, check if the fuse is a 5 amp
fuse.
The printed circuit board drives five or six circuits: the lamp head blowers,
shutter motor, power supply blower, and the relays. To find the cause:
•Unplug the unit and replace the fuse; then disconnect the wires to the
lamp head on terminals 5 (blue wire) and 6 (red wire), and disconnect
one of the wire nuts connecting the blower in the power supply. The
relay coils rarely cause any problem.
•Plug in the unit and turn on the power switch for 10 seconds.
•If the fuse blows, the problem is either: the p.c.board or in one of the
relay coils.
•If the fuse does not blow the problems is either: the power supply blower,
lamphead blower or shutter motor.
•Unplug the unit and reconnect the red wire to the terminal strip #6.
•Plug in the unit and turn on, then off. The shutter should now turn. If the
fuse blows, the problem is in the shutter motor or wiring to the motor.
•Unplug the unit and connect the blue wire to the terminal strip. Turn on
the unit, then off for the cool-down cycle to test the lamphead blowers. If
the fuse blows during this test, the problem could be with either of the
two blowers in the lamp head. Normally, when the coil on a blower fails,
the coil will become discolored. See section Opening Lamp Head.
•If the fuse has not blown throughout the test, the power supply blower is
suspect.

Lamp Head Signals
Signals at the Terminal Strip (Cable to the Lamp Head)
A great deal of information about the operation of the lamp may be found
at the terminal strip, in the power supply that connects to the lamp head.
The terminals are counted number 1 at the end where the cable begins,
and wire number 18 is the last wire. Terminal number 1 is closest to the
dividing wall in the power supply.

•#1The ground terminal is for safety purposes and carries no current.
•#2#3Lamp terminals 2 and 3 carry the power to the lamp. If the lamp
is hot or fails to start, the voltage should be 600 to 950V~. During this
time, there are voltage pulses that may damage a sensitive voltmeter.
Immediately after the lamp strikes, the voltage will drop as low as 20V~,
then rise as the lamp warms to the operating voltage, between 180 and
240V~.
•#4V~ common terminal is the V~ return for the lamp fans, the shutter
motor, and the interlock switch. On 120V~ equipment, this is the V~
common from the power line. This potential is generated on 208/240V~
equipment and may be 60V~ from the line common.
•#5The voltage applied to the lamp fan varies as cooling is required.
94MS20 Rev. B45-21
The voltage is measured referenced to terminal 4 and terminal 5. This
voltage starts at 0V~ during unit warm-up and when the lamp temperature
rises it increases. As the lamp reaches temperature, the fans speed
increases to regulate the lamp. At idle, this voltage is typically 45 - 90V~
and depends on the lamp age and ambient temperature. When an exposure
at high power is initiated, the lamp voltage rises to the maximum. The
voltage remains there after the lamp returns to low power, until the lamp
temperature again stabilizes.
•#6The shutter voltage is present during the rotation of the shutter.
The shutter motor runs on 120V~ measured to terminal 4.
•#7Shutter position DC common (see terminal 9)
•#8Not presently used
•#9The shutter position switch reports the position of the shutter to
the printed circuit board. This switch is open when the shutter is closed,
and closes when the shutter opens. This signal is low voltage DC and
can be measured (+) on terminal 9, (-) on terminal 7. The meter will read
+12 VDC when the shutter is closed, and 0 VDC when the shutter is
opened.
•#10Interlock and thermostat switching. During normal operation,
terminal 10 is shorted to terminal 4 (V~ common). An V~ voltage present
would indicate the glass switch or one of the two thermostat switches
open.
•#11Not presently used.
•#12#14Incoming voltage. To get load voltage, meter between
terminals 12 & 14 while power is on. On 208/240V~ equipment set
voltage selection switch accordingly, (low=219V~ or below, high=220V~
or above).
Warm-Up - Occurs after the lamp ignites and ends when the lamp has
warmed to operating temperatures. The lamp fans are held off and the
unit goes to high power. Due to the technology of the power supply, the
units do not draw large amounts of current during warm-up. Due to the
restrictive cooling, the lamps warm up rapidly, without surge current.
The shutter will not open until the unit reaches temperature.
Idle - Between exposures, the lamp is held in idle. During this period,
the lamp fans vary in speed to maintain the proper lamp temperature.
This allows the unit to consume less power on idle, and provides a wider
range of exposure capabilities, since this same low power level is available
for exposures. The lower idle saves power, generates less heat, and extends
the lamp life.
Expose - The units allow exposures at three levels. At high power, the
high and medium relays are activated. At medium power, the medium
relay is activated.
Cool-Down - When the unit is switched off, all fans are turned on to
cool the equipment. After the cooling period, the unit disables all of its
functions until it is started again.
Trigger - If the lamp is turned on before the unit has fully cooled, the
fans will run at full power and a trigger pulse is created. This mode will
release itself when the lamp strikes. The unit is responding to conditions
to provide these functions. It is therefore not possible to confuse the unit.
If there is a momentary loss of power, the unit will cool the lamp until it
strikes. It is recommended that the unit be shut off and allowed to cool,
rather than turning off the power supplied to the unit.

Old Style (64MV210A) Control Board Layout
Although there are very few old boards in the field, there are some,
therefore we must address them also. To determine if you have an old
board, look at the serial number. For the AL 25 the serial number is 2550
and below. For the AL 50, the serial number is 5400 and below. For the
AL 53 the serial number is 7100 and below. If your control board has a
serial number below those just stated, you have an older board.
Note: This pertains only to the models mentioned, and no others.

6.Check List for Printing Light Troubleshooting and Service
Check List for Printing Light Troubleshooting and Service
C In order for this check list to be effective it must be followed
!
1) Disconnect the integrator/timer from the power supply.
This will make sure that a faulty integrator or QC15 cable are not
responsible for the malfunction and also eliminate a bad DIN socket on
the board.
2) Check the tap switch (208/240V~ power supplies only. If the top LED is
lit, make sure the switch is in the UP position, and if the bottom LED is
lit, make sure the switch is in the DOWN position (see Printing Light
Installation Manual). Improper setting will most likely cause blower,
capacitor, and/or PC board failure and will prematurely age the lamp.
The LEDs next to the switch are not controlled by the switch, the LEDs
tell you where to put the switch.
C You MUST NOT flip this switch with the power supply
!
step by step.
turned on! You will arc the contacts inside and this will
damage the switch.
•If the tap switch is set for 240V~ and you have 208V~ coming in, the
light source is going to draw excess amperage (as voltage goes down
amperage draw has to go up). If when you open the power supply you
notice right off burnt wires or connectors, one of the most likely causes
is the tap switch in the wrong position. This condition usually take months
and sometimes years (depending upon the degree of voltage discrepancy)
to show up. When the burnt wire is on the tap switch itself or on the
bottom side of the power relay it is very difficult to see the burnt wires
without some disassembly of the power supply.
•If the tap switch is set for 208V~ and you have 240V~ coming in, the
p.c.board and the blowers are usually the two items to get damaged.
Over voltage to the blowers will burn them out and are usually the first
to component damaged, the p.c.board will also be damaged under
extended usage in an over voltage condition.
•If the voltage fluctuates there is a line that you can not cross 219V~
220V~ the voltage must always stay 220V~ or above or always stay
219V~ or below.
If the switch itself is bad with no external signs of burning make sure
that the user is not flipping the switch with the power supply on. Flipping
the switch with the light source turned on will cause damage to the switch
that may take time to show up.
94MS20 Rev. B46-1
!
3) Check the safety glass for proper installation. The long dimension of the
glass goes parallel with the long dimension of the lamphead. Improper
installation can cause the glass to shatter and/or an 'open' in the safety
interlock circuit.
•You must be able to reach up, place your fingers against the safety glass
and there must be play front to back and side to side. Otherwise the glass
does not have room for expansion and will more than likely shatter under
use.
C NEVER operate the light source without the safety glass in
place.
4) Check the beau plug at the lamphead. Make sure it is pushed in all the
way. The most likely problem caused by a loose beau plug is an erratic
shutter operation or an open safety interlock circuit.
Just push in on the beau plug while rocking it up and down to make sure
it is in all the way.
5) Check the lamphead interlock circuit. Remove or lower the safety glass.
Turn the power supply on. Check for 120V~ from terminal 4 to terminal
10; when the glass is reinstalled, the voltage should go low. (See Interlock
System for operation.)
With the interlock open what should happen is the shutter should close
and the power supply blower should come on, that's all. After you remove
the glass and you turn on the power supply, if the light source comes on
turn power off immediately and determine what is shorting out and
bypassing the safety interlock circuit. If this does happen it is possible
that the safety interlock circuit is shorting to ground. On older light sources
this condition would burn up the autoformer. On newer light sources this
condition will blow the 3A slow blow fuse on the dividing wall below
the wiring harness.
6) Check input voltage with the power off at terminals 12 & 14. Then with
power on, intensity level on high, and manual expose set on, check the
voltage again. If the voltage drops more than 6 V~, the incoming power
is most likely a problem.
You can do checks 6 and 7 at the same time. Write down the voltage that
you get before turning power on and after turning power on but before
the light source completes the warm up cycle. This is maximum amperage
draw so the voltage will show maximum drop.
If the voltage in check 6 drops more than 6V~ the incoming power is a
problem and it can not be corrected in the power supply (there is nothing
you can do in the power supply to correct bad voltage from the wall).
7) Check input voltage to the PC board with the power off at pins 1 & 2 (see
p.c.board layout for pin location). Then with power on, intensity level
on high, and manual expose set on, check the voltage again. If the voltage
drops more than 6 V~, the autoformer is most likely a problem.
•If and only if the voltage on 12 and 14 in step 6 is good can you say that
6-294MS20 Rev. B4
the autoformer is definitely bad, if the voltage on 12 and 14 in step 6 is
bad you can not get a correct reading for step 7.
8) Check capacitors and relay circuit by:
The capacitors and relays are checked by watching the voltage changes
that take place at the different intensity levels. If a capacitor is not in the
circuit the voltage readings on input and output will be the same. If the
capacitor is pulled into the circuit the input and output voltages will be
hundreds of volts apart. Now the tricky part, if a capacitor is pulled into
the circuit the way it is supposed to be then we need to look at the voltage
itself to see if we see an increase in the overall voltage to make sure that
the capacitor is adding voltage to the circuit. If the capacitor is pulled
into the circuit when it is supposed to be but the overall voltage does not
increase then the capacitor is defective.
9) Check voltage from terminal 3 to the capacitor input (orange wire on top
of the capacitors). The voltage should be 500+ V~. If voltage is lower,
check the power path to the tap switch and ballasts. 500+V~ is typical
for AL 19 through AL53 light sources, 450+ V~ for 1.5 kW light sources
and 700+ V~ for the 8kW light sources. If the voltage on a 208/240V~ is
low then not all the ballasts are being powered properly. This is usually
caused by a bad tap switch or a burnt connector at the tap switch, however
any of the wiring between ballast and tap switch is suspect. If the voltage
is zero then a burnt wire at the power relay or a bad power relay is most
likely the problem. There is a possibility that if there is zero V~ that you
might have a grounded safety interlock circuit.
•At idle, check voltage from terminal 3 to the capacitor outputs (yellow,
brown, and blue wires on top of the capacitors).
On the chart following step 6.8.5 find the Wattage of the unit you are
working on and then for the lamp installed into the unit, these are the
general voltages you should read. These voltages are a ball park figure
depending upon several factors and the actual voltage is not as important
as to whether or not the voltages change on the capacitors according to
intensity level. For instance on a 5kW light with an L1250 lamp at low
intensity one capacitor will be about 200V~ and three capacitors will be
over 500V~. Now when you go to medium intensity you should see two
capacitors at about 230V~ and two capacitors at over 500V~. NOTE the
number of capacitors at the lower voltage (i.e. in the circuit) and the
voltage increase from the previous intensity 200V~ at low and 230V~ at
medium.
•At low power, manual expose on, check voltage from terminal 3 to the
capacitor outputs (yellow, brown, and blue wires on top of the capacitors).
•At medium power, manual expose on, check voltage from terminal 3 to
the capacitor outputs (yellow, brown, and blue wires on top of the
capacitors).
•At high power, manual expose on, check voltage from terminal 3 to the
capacitor outputs (yellow, brown, and blue wires on top of the capacitors).

‡The voltage readings described in the following are typical of 5kW light
6-694MS20 Rev. B4
sources see voltage chart to find high and low values for others.
10)If a reading remains high (500V~ or more see note ‡) and it should be
low (less than 300V~ see note ‡), the capacitor is not being pulled into
the circuit. Check the respective relay, resistor, and wiring for an open.
11)If a reading remains low (less than 300V~ see note ‡) and it should be
high (500V~ or more see note ‡), the capacitor is locked into the circuit.
Check the respective relay, wiring, and PC board for a short.
12)If the readings show voltage changes from high to low and from low to
high, but the overall low reading does not increase from the previous
power level, then the capacitor being pulled into the circuit has failed.
13)Check the blowers using a piece of paper held up to the intakes at each of
the lamphead during a cool-down cycle. The paper should get held up to
each intake, if it doesn’t, the blower is bad.
Blowers speed can not be checked until this point because all previous
checks affect the operation and can make them appear to be operating
incorrectly. Also check blower voltage at terminals 4 & 5 for most lights
this voltage should be a MINIMUM of 45V~ some lights this voltage
will be higher depending on lamp used and lamp condition.
14)Check for cooling obstructions on intakes and exhausts. If any are found,
remove them.
!
15)Check lamp idle voltage at terminals 2 & 3. This voltage should match
the voltage chart above, if not, YOU MUST install a new lamp and
recheck (see Idle Setting if adjustment is necessary).
C DO NOT ADJUST idle voltage with a used lamp.
Lamp voltage can be effected by all the checks in the check list to this
point. So if this check list is used properly (followed step by step) if at
this point the lamp voltage is out of specification it can now be adjusted
if the lamp is less than two weeks old AND "not or" has no sign of
deformation otherwise a new lamp must be installed before adjusting.
Adjusting lamp idle voltage without first checking other causes of the
lamp voltage deviation can damage the equipment.
16)If used, check the power supply safety interlock jack next to the power
supply power on/off switch. A failure in this circuit will not allow the
unit to do an exposure, the only time the shutter will rotate if this circuit
is open, is when the power is turned on or off.
If you suspect this circuit is faulty, turn the manual expose switch on,
then short the blue and white wires on the jack together with a screwdriver
(make sure you do not short to ground) and see if the shutter opens, if it
opens the circuit is at fault.
17)Check for smooth shutter rotation. If the shutter rotates smoothly, skip
to step 20, otherwise continue.
18)If the shutter does not rotate smoothly, it may not stop in the correct
94MS20 Rev. B46-7
position and the bearings must be greased.
19)If the shutter fails to rotate at any time, then check the following:
20)When the shutter is supposed to be moving. Check for 120V~ between
terminals 4 & 6. If there is voltage, go to the lamphead and check for
voltage at the shutter motor then skip to step 22.
21)If there is no voltage between terminals 4 & 6, check the PC board output
for voltage at pins 2 & 4 (see PC Board Layout for pin location).
22)Check to make sure the shutter stops immediately in the correct position.
23)If the shutter stops immediately, but in the wrong position, check the
shutter position switch.
24)If the shutter coasts to a stop in the wrong position, check the shutter
brake.
25)If you run into a situation were you are not getting voltage at the terminal
strip, relay, blower, etc. make sure you go to the PC board itself and
Double check the PC board outputs before replacing it.
26)Before you reassemble everything it is a real good idea to: Check the
manual operations of the light source. Just to make sure everything is
back together.
27)Reconnect all wires to the integrator and then: Check the remote
operations of the light source from the integrator.

AL 9, AL 13 Cover Removal
•Place the light on its top and remove the hood and filter assembly.
•Place the light on a table with the shutter flat against the table and remove
the safety glass. Then remove the two screws from each of the four sides
and remove the cover.

Path of Power to the P.C.Board
The power circuit can be easily traced from where the power cord enters
the corner of the unit and immediately connects with 2 (two) wire nuts to
black (V~ hot) and white (V~ common). The circuit travels through the
black wire to the thermostat, then through the safety glass switch and
returns as a brown wire to the P.C. Board as incoming V~ (HOT). The
V~ common circuit travels through the white wire to the other safety
glass switch and returns as a yellow wire to the P.C. Board as incoming
V~ common.
Interlock Systems
The internal interlock system serves two purposes. The first is for operator
safety by protecting the safety glass. This glass filters short UV radiation
and covers the high voltage lamp terminals. This interlock also protects
from overheating, by traveling through the thermostat by the reflector.
There is also an outlet on the side marked “INTERLOCK”. This external
interlock inhibits exposures when installed. It is not, however, related to
the internal interlock.
The internal interlock is a loop that travels through the light, passing
through two safety glass switches and a thermostat. This interlock is in
series with the input power to the P.C. Board. When this interlock is
open all power is cut to the P.C. Board.
The first place to check for an opening in the circuit is the glass switches
(see Component Layout Diagram for location). If both switches check
good, then check the thermostat. This is a closed loop and can be traced
with an Ohmmeter with the AL9/AL14 unplugged.
9-1094MS20 Rev. B4
Lamp Voltage
The lamp voltage measurement can provide useful information for lamp
striking, lamp output and switching information. The meter used to
measure can cause different results. The waveforms are not sinusoidal,
so different meters may produce different results.
Here is a chart with typical measurements, (see P.C. Board Layout
Diagrams for the location of the test points).
See Shrouding The Lamp before continuing.
Lamp voltage measured from lamp lead common to:
LowMed.HighTrigger
Low (Yellow)130140150270
Medium (Brown)270140150270
High (Blue)270270150270
Path Of Power To The Lamp
The basic path is incoming line, safety interlock, P.C. Board, ballasts,
capacitors, back to the P.C. Board, then to the lamp.
In detail first see Path of Power to the P.C. Board.
Then see P.C. Board Layout, showing ballast power (yellow 120V) and
ballast common (yellow COM).
This is the feed to the ballast and should be 120 V~. The ballast then
feeds the capacitors with the wire labeled "CAP" (see Capacitors and
Level Switching for detailed wiring).
From the capacitors the power feeds back to the P.C. Board on the yellow,
brown, and blue wires. The P.C. Board does the electronic switching of
the capacitors and sends the power to the lamp.
Capacitors and Level Switching
The capacitors pass all the current that flows through the lamp. They are
also used to switch power levels. The capacitors are divided into three
sections. The unit has two low power (idle) capacitors connected with a
yellow wire. There is one medium power capacitor connected with a
brown wire. There is one high power capacitor connected with a blue
wire. All capacitors have an orange feed wire coming from the ballast.
The low power (idle) capacitors are always in the circuit. The medium
power capacitor gets pulled into the circuit for warm-up, medium power
exposures, and high power exposures. The high power capacitor gets
pulled into the circuit for warm-up and high power exposures.

The capacitors set the operating current of the lamp. If the lamp output
has changed rapidly, inspect the capacitors for swelling. The design of
the capacitors we use will burn open if it begins to short. A swollen
capacitor should be replaced and the unit should be tested to see that the
capacitor did not damage the P.C. Board.
To test the unit’s ability to switch power levels, make a manual exposure
at low power, note the voltage between the lamp lead common and the
low yellow (about 130V~, see diagram). Then switch to medium brown
(about 140V~, see diagram). Then switch to high power and note the
