LED REPLACEMENT FOR THE UDY DAIRY TESTER

The L.E.D provides a regulated light source of 470nm (blue) for the UDY colorimeter (Dairy Tester). If the colorimeter will not adjust to zero (0.00) or a blue light is not visible through the cuvet opening the L.E.D may need to be replaced.
L.E.D. Holder Assy. Number: 30-0011A
Applies to Model Numbers: UDY Dairy Tester IV
Part Number: 5010-010 / 020
Circuit Board Numbers: 1500 --

Before replacing the L.E.D. always check the cuvet for moisture on the surface as a possible problem cause.
THE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove power from the unit.
2. Remove two screws from the top-front of unit. Remove three screws form bottom-front of unit. Gently remove the front cover panel. Disconnect the connector to the front panel, if necessary.
3. With an Allen wrench, loosen the set screw holding the L.E.D. holder in place. The set screw access is located on the back of unit. From inside the cabinet, remove the L.E.D. and holder by pulling it away from the light bench.
4. Unsolder or cut the two wires connecting the L.E.D. to the main connector. Cut as close to the L.E.D. holder as possible. Prepare the cut ends for re-solder.
5. Note the replacement L.E.D. and holder has one electrical connection longer than the other. (Cathode) Solder the prepared black wire to the shorter one and solder the remaining wire to the longer one. (Anode) Isolate the electrical connections so they will not touch during installation or operation.
6. Insert the L.E.D. holder into the light bench. Note the LIGHT FEEDBACK PORT in the holder. Make sure it is pointed directly toward the front of the unit in line with the photodiode also mounted in the light bench. Press the L.E.D. holder into the light bench up to the holder base and tighten the set screw.
7. Connect the front panel connector. Connect the power connector to the back of unit. While viewing the cuvet, momentarily switch the main power on and then off. You should see the L.E.D. come on during that time. You should also see the front panel light. If the L.E.D. did not come on, recheck the connections and / or reverse the electrical connections to the L.E.D. and re-test.
8. The L.E.D. current must now be set to the proper range. Located close to the main front panel connector are two test pins labeled LED 1 and LED 2. There is also a ten turn trim pot labeled LED. Connect a volt meter to the two test pins. Set the voltmeter range to read less than one volt DC. Turn the power on and adjust the ten turn trim pot until the voltmeter reads .200 volts or 200 mv. DO NOT leave the power on if the reading is greater than .400 volts (400mv). If the reading is greater than 400 mv, turn the power off and turn the trim pot to it's lowest level and restart the adjustment procedure.
9. Replace the front panel. Add water to clear the cuvet. Set the mode selector to Cal, adjust for zero (0.00). As a further test you may also adjust the zero knob full clockwise to see a range of -0.020 to - 0.150 on the display ( with water in a clear cuvette ) in that range you will be able to adjust for zero. If by adjusting the zero knob clockwise you are unable to get at least -0.020, the 470nm (blue) filter will need to be replaced. They can be ordered from UDY Corporation or send the unit in for maintenance.
10. Your unit is now ready for operation.
