Dymax WIDECURE UV Conveyor

WIDECURE
conveyors can be outfitted with either a Long Wave (metal halide, UVA/Visible) Bulb or a Short
Wave (mercury, UVB/UVC) Bulb. The Long Wave Bulbs are recommended for most Dymax UV light-curable
materials while the Short Wave Bulbs are generally recommended for UV inks. The following charts show the
spectral distribution of each type of Bulb. Unless otherwise specified, Dymax WIDECURE
Conveyors are
outfitted with Long Wave (metal halide) Bulbs.

INSTALLATION AND INTERCONNECTION
Your WIDECURE UV light-curing conveyor system requires minimal assembly once removed from the packing
skid or crate.
1. Install the four threaded Legs into the Conveyor
Feet. Adjust the threaded Legs as required to level
the unit and to set the conveyor Belt working height.
2. Provide two sources of AC power to the conveyor
(See Table 2 for requirements).
NOTE:
On the higher voltage models, the power
sources must be hard-wired into the back of the
conveyor by a qualified electrician. The 115V model
has a standard North American wall plug.
3. Wire the Power Supply by removing the conveyor's back panel and inserting the wires thru the hole on the left
side of the Power Supply. Attach the wires to the Terminal Block (Figure 4).
4. Verify that the UV Shielding is installed on the outlet side of the conveyor. The UV Shielding is designed to
minimize UV exposure to the operator.
