Frequently Asked Questions
Q.) My
BlueWave 75
will not turn on.
■
Check the power cord connection.
■
Check the Fuses located where the Power Cord plugs into the unit.
■
If a tone is heard, the Cover Interlock Sensor may not be closed. Verify that the cover is properly closed
and that the four side securing screws are tightened. Remove the cover and verify nothing is preventing it
from fully seating on the unit.
Q.) The blue lens on the front panel does not light.
■
This signifies the Bulb has not ignited. Check that the power cord and Bulb connections are secure.
Q.)
The Bulb will not ignite, it only “flickers”.
■
Replace the Bulb. Excessive power cycling will shorten the life expectancy of the Bulb. This is an arc, not
filament Bulb. Once ignited, it must be left on for a minimum of 10 minutes to vaporize elements in the
Bulb. If not, the Bulb may be difficult to re-ignite.
Q.) I installed a new Bulb, and it still will not ignite.
■
The
BlueWave 75
has a safety shutdown feature at 2,000 hours. If the equipment has reached the safety
shutdown point, "CHANGE BULB" and "2000.0" will alternate on the Hour Meter and the Bulb will not
light. When this happens, the BlueWave 75 will no longer supply an ignition voltage until a new Bulb is
installed and the Reset Switch is pressed on the back of the equipment. The power must be on for this
reset to be performed. The Reset Switch should always be pressed whenever a new Bulb is installed and a
Bulb should never be operated after it reaches the 2,000 hour life expectancy.
■
Check and make sure the Bulb Connector is fully seated into the Igniter.
Q.) Why do I have low intensity, even with a new Bulb?
■
Standard
BlueWave 75
units have an Optical Filter installed, which filters the energy before it reaches the
Lightguide. The intensity may be decreased if the light that passes through the Filter is restricted by dust
and debris accumulated on the Filter surfaces.
■
The intensity is being checked too early. The 75W Bulb will not reach full intensity until at least five
minutes after initial power up.
■
The Lightguide may not be fully seated into the Lightguide Mount.
■
The end of the Lightguide may have a build-up of adhesive or outgassing residue. Carefully remove with
isopropyl alcohol or a razor blade for heavier deposits.
