BlueWave® MX-Series Multichannel Controller User Guide
Program (DB):
The area on the bottom of the screen is reserved for displaying the current program name. If a
program has not been selected or has not been created this area will display “PROGRAM”. This area also serves as
a button that when pressed will bring the user to the program screen where the current setup may be saved or a
saved setup may be loaded (See Loading and Saving Programs on next page).
Alarm Icon (DB):
The alarm icon will be displayed whenever the system has an alarm that the user should
be aware off. Pressing the Alarm Icon advances to the alarm screen. (See Alarms section Page 32).
Irradiation
To run a curing cycle in manual mode:
1.
Set the channel to Manual Mode by hitting the Mode (DB). Hand icon should appear.
2.
Input the Power, Delay and Trigger value as needed by pressing the respective button.
3.
Assert the associated input to start the irradiation. The timer field will begin counting. The irradiation will
terminate when the associated trigger input is deasserted.
4.
When in manual mode, the time indicator will start at zero. While the associated trigger input is asserted the
time will count up until the associated trigger input is deasserted or it reaches 999 seconds. The time value will
remain displayed. Starting a new exposure will reset the time value to zero immediately and proceed to count
up.
There is a time delay up to 50 milliseconds from assertion to LED irradiation.
To run a curing cycle in timed mode:
1.
Set the channel to Timed Mode by hitting the Mode (DB). Clock icon should appear.
2.
Input the Time, Power, Delay and Trigger values by pressing on each respective button.
3.
Assert the associated trigger input to start the timed irradiation. The irradiation will terminate when the count
reaches zero. The timed exposure may be aborted at any time by reasserting the associated trigger input.
4.
After the timed exposure, the time value will be automatically reloaded in preparation for the next activation
Note: The
BlueWave m
ulti-channel controller system supports accurate LED activation as short as 0.1 seconds.
It is possible for users to type in a time setting greater than 3 digits during time entry. However, the
BlueWave
multi-channel controller will default to 999 seconds.
