Irradiation
To run a curing cycle in manual mode:
1.
Input the power value by pressing the respective field. The time field will be
disabled.
2.
Press the Run Button or Foot Pedal to start the irradiation. The timer field will begin
counting. The irradiation will terminate when the Stop Button is pressed or Foot
Pedal is released.
The time delay for PLC or Foot pedal activation and the LED turning on is 260 ms.
When in PLC Program mode only:
Add 225 ms to the LED ON in signal (J5) on the
PLC connector. For example
–
if the user desires to turn the LED on for 1 second
then the LED ON in signal (through J5) should be 1.225 sec.
To run a curing cycle in timer mode:
1.
Input the time and power values by pressing on each respective field or by loading a
previously saved program. To load a curing program, press the Program Button on
the bottom of the screen. A list of available programs will appear. Select the
appropriate one and press
“LOAD”
. The program will load and you will be brought
back to the Control Screen.
2.
Press the Run Button or Foot Pedal to start the timed irradiation. The irradiation will
terminate when the count reaches zero. The timed exposure may be aborted at any
time by pressing the Stop Button. Foot Pedal reactivation will not terminate the
cycle.
At the conclusion of the timed exposure, the time value will be automatically
reloaded in preparation for the next activation. Although the user is allowed to
enter a time of 0.0 seconds, note that the LED will not activate since there is
essentially no time set for it to run. The
BlueWave
MX-Series 1CH system will
however support accurate LED activation as short as 0.1 seconds.
It is possible for users to type in a time setting greater than 4 digits during time
entry. However, the
BlueWave
MX-Series 1CH system will only support up to 999
seconds and will default to this value if anything higher than that is entered.
