BlueWave® MX-275 Emitter User Guide
6
Specific Safety Considerations
The
BlueWave
MX-series emitters
are designed to maximize operator safety and
minimize exposure to light-curing energy. To use the unit
safely, it must be set up and
operated in accordance with the instructions in this user guide. Please also read and
understand the safety considerations unique to LED-curing systems as described below.
NOTE: Risk Group 3. Product tested against IEC62471.
WARNING!
Looking directly at the high-intensity light emitted by the
BlueWave MX-series emitters can result in eye injury. To prevent eye injury,
never look directly at the energy-emitting end of the high-intensity emitter and
always wear protective goggles.
To avoid accidental exposure, always point the
emitter at the curing substrate.
WARNING!
UV emitted from this product. Avoid eye and skin exposure to
unshielded product.
WARNING!
Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this
product. Do not look directly at the light energy emitting from the unit. Eye
injury may result.
WARNING!
Surface of light emission optics is very hot after continuous use
of MX Series emitters. Do not touch the glass window. Touching this surface
can result in burns. Please allow the optic to cool for 10 minutes before
attempting to replace the optic

Dymax UV Light-Curing System Safety
Considerations
Operators must understand these three concepts to use the LED light source safely: UV
exposure, high-temperature surfaces, and bright, visible light.
UV Exposure
Standard Dymax UV light-curing systems have been designed primarily to emit UVA and
Visible energy (Figure 1). Depending on the model of LED head used, the energy emitted
from a
BlueWave
MX-Series Emitter can either be in the upper end of the UVA portion
of the spectrum (PrimeCure® and RediCure®) or in the lower portion of the visible
spectrum (VisiCure®). UVA energy is generally considered the safest of the three UV
