DANGER
Controlling or calibrating this product by other than the procedures stipulated here
could cause exposure to dangerous LED radiation.
- 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 main unit so that humans are not exposed to LED-UV light.
Exposure could injure the skin or cause other injury.
- Always turn off the key switch, before cleaning the LED head.
Cleaning the head while the switch is on could cause eye damage or injury to the
skin.
- Never disassemble this product. Disassembling this product could cause
exposure to LED-UV light, causing eye damage or injury to the skin.
- If there is a risk of the LED-UV light being exposed to UV reflective light, place
the product inside a cover with proper reflectance and heat characteristics to
block that reflective 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 that a protective barrier be placed around the product
so that people cannot approach it while it is operating.
- Always wear the UV protective goggles when using this product.
- Never operate this product in a manner not described in this manual. Doing so
risks exposure to LED-UV light.
Safety Precautions for Users
JIS C6802 stipulates user guidelines pertaining to safety precautions to be taken by
users and management standards. In the case of this product, please implement
safety precautions for a class 3B LED product. See JIS C6802, “Safety of laser
products” for details. In the abroad, see the standard according each country.

Safety features for LED products
Safety features
This product is equipped with the following safety features based on JIS C6802 Safety of laser
products.
Remote interlock
UV radiation can be stopped by opening INPUT terminal “EMER (11)” on the rear of the
controller. It is shorted with a shorting bar as a factory default.
Control by a key switch
The controller unit of this product is started via a key switch. Ensure that the key is removed
while this product is not in use.
LED radiation warning
Turning ON the key switch enables the irradiation of LED UV light, which turns on the
irradiation warning indicator on the front panel of the controller. If the LED connection cable is
longer than 2 m, or if the controller unit is installed in an invisible part of the equipment,
another warning indicator needs to be provided in a visible location around the LED head.
[OUTPUT terminals “+5V” (23) and “GND” (24) on the rear of the controller output signals
when the key switch is turned ON.]
Stays on during irradiation.
The emitting channel number flashes.
Emergency reset
If an error occurs, eliminate the cause and then hold down “SET” for one or two seconds to
clear the error. Or, hold down “SET” for five seconds or more to forcibly clear the error.

Precautions for use
1) Do not connect this product to any power supply outside the power supply voltage and frequency
range indicated on the main unit and in this User’s Manual. Otherwise, this product may be
damaged. The power cable supplied with this product is a 100 V cable for use in Japan only.
When using this product outside Japan, use a power cable that has been certified by applicable
standards and has a plug shape that fits the receptacle used in each country.
2) Use this product under the following operating conditions; otherwise, the product life may be
shortened.
Ambient temperature: Controller: 0 to 35°C Head: 5 to 35°C
Relative humidity: 85% or lower (with no condensation)
Operation environment: Use this product in a location with minimum dirt, dust, or oil mist under
no extreme temperature changes, severe vibrations, or shock.
Storage temperature: -10 to +60°C at 85% or lower relative humidity (with no condensation)
3) Do not place anything on the controller or block the air vents around this product to prevent the
occurrence of burns due to overheating.
4) When using more than one controller, do not bundle the supplied AC adapters together. The AC
adapters may overheat and damage the products.
5) When handling the LED head, do not touch the lens or LED with bare hands.
If a foreign substance adheres to the lens or LED, it can cause the UV intensity to decrease and
the curing performance to degrade. If bare hands touch the lens or LED, wipe it clean with
alcohol.
6) Be careful not to drop or apply shock to the LED head. Doing so may damage this product.
7) Do not repeatedly bend the LED head or the connection cable, as this may result in breakage.
If any part of the LED head is broken, the whole LED head must be replaced.
8) Set the rubber feet of this product on a flat horizontal surface.
Do not tilt this product or put it on its side or upside down during use. The product may overheat
and be damaged.
9) Noise superimposed on the power supply may cause the LED head or control power supply to
malfunction. In such cases, install an insulating transformer or a noise filter.
10) Do not share a power supply with an motor, dielectric machinery, or equipment that consumes
high power.
11) Do not use any cable other than the supplied connection cable to connect the LED head to the
controller.
12) Ensure that the connection cable a pprox. 80 mm from the connector is kept free from flexing
stress and the joint between the connector and the cable is kept free from tension. Otherwise, the
cable may be broken.
13) If the LED connection cable is longer than 2 m, or if the controller unit is installed in an invisible
part of the equipment, a warning indicator needs to be provided in a visible location around the
LED head. Use “+5V” (23) and “GND” (24) on the rear of the controller as outputs for the indicator.
They output signals when the key switch is turned ON.

1 Features of the ANUJ5024 Aicure........................1
The UJ20: Aicure is an UV curing system that quickly hardens UV resins (inks, adhesives, and
coatings) via irradiation with UV light from an LED light source. Focused irradiation of UV resins
coated on minute surfaces (2 to 3 mm dia.) such as the lenses of CD, MD, and DVD players, and
the LCD panels of notebook PCs and the like, with UV radiation enables precise adhesion.
High-power irradiation: 8,000 mW/cm2 (When the Power Mode is on and an
ANUJ61523 head is used)
Higher intensity and wider range of irradiation reduces the production cycle time.
Long LED life: 20,000 hours (LED life: Total irradiation time before the UV
intensity becomes 70% of the initial value)
This LED life is over six times that of our conventional lamp model and reduces the running
cost.
■ UV curing without temperature increases
A single 365-nm LED UV light source is used, which does not include infrared radiation.
This eliminates the risk of heat damage to the workpiece.
■ Stable UV intensity
UV intensity is kept constant, even if the ambient or LED temperature changes.
■ Easy-to-install LED head
At 12 mm dia. x 50 mm len., the LED is easy to mount on a jig. Mounting the LED head in
place reduces overheating and increases UV intensity.
■ No cooling fan construction allows the use in a clean room
There is no need to deal with exhaust.
Programmable UV irradiation with four individually controlled heads
Each LED head can be independently controlled. The heads can also be controlled all
together or in combination. Up to 16 different operation programs can be stored for each
channel, including one program for the constant intensity irradiation and 15 programs
composed of up to 10 steps each.

Features of the ANUJ5024 Aicure
Universal design for easy operation
Easy operation has been achieved by the product’s universal design, including the large-sized
color LED display with a high level of visibility and the operation switches located at optimal
locations.
In simple mode, UV irradiation can be started simply by setting the UV power and irradiation
time, and then pressing [EMISSION].
(1) Press [SET], choose
TYPE 00 (simple mode),
and press [CH1] (the
target head).
(2) Set the irradiation
intensity by pressing [T]
and [S] switches, and
press [SET].
Multiple safety features
This product has a function to detect breaks and short-circuiting of the LED head. The LED is
automatically turned off if it overheats due to ambient temperature rise or other conditions. UV
irradiation can be brought to an emergency stop by opening INPUT terminal “EMER (11)” and
short-circuiting “STOP (9)” and “COM (12)” on the rear of the controller during irradiation.
Detachable terminal blocks for external connection
The detachable terminal blocks facilitate connections with external equipment.
Universal power supply
The supplied AC adapter is a universal type for 100 to 240 V AC ± 10%.
(The supplied AC adapter power cable is a 100 V AC cable for use in Japan only.)
(3) Set the irradiation time
by pressing [T] and [S]
switches, hold down [SET],
and press [EMISSION] to
start UV irradiation.
