Intensity Control Feature
The components used in all light-curing systems degrade with use. Therefore, the maximum intensity
decreases as exposure hours accumulate. Setting process intensity requirements lower than the maximum
enables the
BlueWave LED DX-1000 VisiCure ’s Intensity Control Feature to allow for compensation of gradual
decreases in light intensity.
The unit's intensity can be adjusted using the Intensity Control Feature (Figure 3) on the Front Control Panel.
The intensity adjustment is software controlled and allows for control of output intensity. The ten LED Power
Level Bars correlate to 10% increments of the total available power. Pressing the up button (
▲
) increases the
light intensity in 1% increments. Pressing the down button (
▼
) decreases the light intensity in 1% increments.
As the power level is adjusted, the Cycle Time Display changes and displays the power level percentage.
Adjustment of the power setting is done while in manual mode and is not possible while running a timed
exposure.
