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 QX4
’s
intensity control
feature to allow for compensation of gradual decreases in light intensity.
The unit's intensity can be adjusted using the front control panel. The intensity
adjustment is software controlled and allows for control of output intensity. See the
Setup Section
for further details on adjusting the Intensity.
Use a radiometer to correlate the percent power output to a reading in W/cm
2
. The
adjustment of power level and correlation to a light-intensity value (W/cm
2
) enables
precise control of light intensity during validation and operation.
Cleaning & Maintenance
LED Head Optic Lens
Based on the cleanliness of your operating environment, establish a schedule for
cleaning the LED-head lenses. When cleaning is required, shut the unit down and allow
it to cool. When cool, clean the surfaces of the lenses with a clean, lint-free cloth and
isopropyl alcohol.
NOTE: Never soak the lenses in isopropyl alcohol. Damage could occur to the lenses.
Always apply the isopropyl alcohol to a cloth, then clean the lenses.
Error Codes & Troubleshooting
Error Codes
There is an over-temperature warning signal that flashes in the upper right hand corner
of the screen when an LED head has reached the user-defined warning limit. The front
indicator will turn orange to indicate which head has reached the set temperature, but
the LED head will still be operational.
There is an over-temperature critical warning signal that will shut down the unit when
the critical temperature limit has been reached. A critical error message will display on
