Dymax BlueWave® 75 User Guide
System Operation
1.
The
BlueWave 75
will arrive almost fully assembled. Please refer to Installation and System Interconnect
for installation of the Lightguide, Power Cord, and Footswitch. The system should be positioned in a dry
location that does not obstruct airflow from the rear of the unit.
Note: Do not block the vents at the rear of the unit. Allow a minimum of 12" [150 mm] clearance from the
back vents to the nearest obstructing surface.
2.
Follow the procedures for connecting the Power Cord, Footswitch, Lightguide, and additional Grounding
Wire (if necessary).
3.
Follow the steps to set the desired intensity and shutter cycle duration.
4.
The Lightguide can be hand held, fixed over the curing area using an optional Lightguide Mounting Stand
(PN 39700), or fixtured using custom tooling. The UV and visible light emitted from a Lightguide diverges.
As a result, the intensity decreases and the curing area increases with distance from the end of the
Lightguide. Figure 11 shows this relationship for the 5-mm Liquid Lightguide. Values given are for general
reference; actual intensities can be measured using a Radiometer.
5.
Apply the proper Dymax product for the application, fixture if necessary, and cure using the
BlueWave 75
.
