WARNING!
Under no circumstance should the interconnect cable from the
BlueWave MX-Series 1CH controller to the LED emitter be connected or disconnected
while power to the unit is on. This procedure is usually called “hot
-
swapping” and
should not be performed as it could cause damage to the controller or the LED
emitter. Always power down the equipment before disconnecting any of these
devices.
3.
Plug the opposite end of the Power Cord into an appropriate AC outlet. The unit is
now powered and ready to be turned on with the On/Off Switch located on the front
of the unit (Figure 3).
WARNING!
If the BlueWave MX-Series 1CH controller is powered on with no LED
emitter connected, the controller screen will not show the banner containing the
information of the emitter type or wavelength. An error will appear on the display
and an audible alarm will sound. Power down the controller, connect the LED
emitter, then power on again and the banner will appear.
4.
If using the optional foot pedal, plug it into the foot pedal jack on the rear panel of
the controller.
If you are using a PLC - There are input and output PLC Connection Terminals that
can be used to integrate the unit to an automated assembly line. The input
connections consist of PLC Enable, Emitter Interlock, Light Shield Sensor,
Program/Analog, and LED On. The unit normally has high logic levels (24V) and looks
for a low signal (0V) input. The 24VDC is supplied internally allowing use of a simple
contact closure such as a switch or relay to actuate the inputs.
The output PLC connection terminals consist of System Status, LED status and
Reserved. These output signals are 24VDC inactive and 0 Volts active.
The Analog intensity input is a 0
–
10 Volt input that controls the LED intensity. This
function is active when the Prog/Analog and PLC Enable inputs are activated.
Refer to Table 1 for more complete description of PLC input and outputs.
5.
Your unit is now ready for operation.
