7.5 Operation of the SUNTEST XLS+
Program Controller
The program controller monitors and controls the
process of the test programs. The settings are cal-
led via the menu guide on the control panel. The menu
guide is described in the accompanying software
documentation.
The program controller provides:
• six test programs,
• with six test cycles each.
The end of the program can be selected optionally,
according to the criteria:
• Testing time (time),
• Radiant exposure (dose).
Additional program functions are:
• Programming the light and dark phases,
• Inputting the irradiance,
• Inputting the black standard temperature
The display functions are:
• Displaying the age of the lamp and equipment,
• Displaying the current testing parameters in a target/
actual comparison,
• Displaying the test chamber temperature (actual value).

7.4 Operation of SUNTEST XLS
The SUNTEST XLS has a sensor for measuring the
irradiance in the range from 300 - 800nm. The irra-
diance in the equipment is controlled to a constant
value.
An actual-value measurement is possible by using
the optional sensors for measuring the irradiance
(see chapter 5, “Accessories”).
1. Set the irradiance on the rotary switch
!
. The irradiance
can be infinitely set between 250 - 765 W/m².
NOTE!
The optional sensors „Radialux“ and „XenoCal” can be
used to measure and display the irradiance and the radi-
ant exposure.
2. Set the ON(I) / OFF(0) switch
"
to the “ON (I)” posit-
ion. The Xenon lamp now gets switched on. The du-
ration for which the Xenon lamp has been on is dis-
played in the Xenon lamp operating hour meter
#
.
NOTE!
The Xenon lamp should be replaced after every 1500
operating hours.
