The UV Power Puck II and UviCure Plus II are self-contained, electro-optic radiometers that measure and display total UV energy and UV irradiance in a UV curing system. The UV Power Puck II and UviCure Plus II combine compact size and robust design to withstand the extremes of UV curing environments while providing accurate measurement.
Examples of different functions are shown below. Examples of some of the different functions that will be shown under the instrument display EIT Part Number P/N IM-0111 Rev A Issued April 2019 Page 2...

The UviCure Plus II and Power Puck II ‘oversample’ at a very high sample rate. The user is able to adjust the effective sample rate to one of three settings in the set-up menu of the instrument. The effective sample rate is based on the Data (not Optical) Filter Bandwidth. EIT instruments use different bandwidths for the data filters.

This rate (2048) also matches the sample rate on MicroCure radiometers “SMOOTH” PROFILER vs. PROFILER “INSTRUMENTS” EIT uses the term “PROFILER” to describe two separate instrument features. When PROFILER is used in the “SMOOTH” context, it refers to an effective sample rate of 128 Hz as described above.
Diagnostics & Error Messages The UV Power Puck II and UVICURE Plus II continuously conduct internal self-diagnostics. If the unit detects an internal problem, it will display one or more of the following error codes in the upper left corner on the display. Error codes are two alphanumeric characters preceded by an *.
Calibration EIT’s calibration period for the Power Puck II or UviCure Plus II is six months. This based on our historical data and experience. This data is a culmination of over twenty years of calibration experience. Most of these units are exposed to extreme environmental conditions and though they are very robust;...

(wood manufacturing facility). Careful cleaning of the outer optics using these guidelines will help your EIT instrument perform as designed between service intervals at EIT. The guidelines are general and specific questions should be directed to EIT (uv@eit.com). Instruments that stop functioning when accidently dropped, get stuck in equipment or wind up covered or immersed with the product being cured need to come back to EIT for further evaluation.
