Safety
WARNING! If you use a Dymax LED light-curing conveyor system without first reading and
understanding the information in this user guide, injury can result from exposure to UV light. To
reduce the risk of injury, read and ensure you understand the information in this user guide before
assembling and operating the system.
General Safety Considerations
All users of Dymax UVCS LED light-curing conveyor systems should read and understand this user guide before
assembling and using the system.
To learn about the safe handling and use of light-curable formulations, obtain and read the MSDS for each
product. Dymax includes an MSDS with each adhesive sold. In addition, fluid product MSDS can be requested
on the Dymax website.

CAUTION! Always wear protective goggles or face shield when working near UV light. Never
look directly at light!
WARNING! Always observe safety requirements! Do not open the cover of the LED Array or
Power Supply. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Specific Safety Considerations
Dymax UVCS LED light-curing conveyor systems 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 light-
curing systems as described below.
Safety Symbol Index
The following symbols are displayed on the curing system. Please see below for their meanings.
Refer to Manual
Warning!
Eye Protection Required
Warning! UV Light Hazard
Electrostatic Sensitive Device
WARNING! Looking directly at the UV light emitted by an LED flood array can result in eye
injury. To prevent eye injury, never look directly at the high-intensity light and always wear
protective goggles (provided).
Dymax Light-Curing System Safety Considerations
Operators must understand these three concepts to use the LED light source safely: light exposure, high-
temperature surfaces, and bright, visible light. Each is described below.
Light Exposure
The BlueWave® LED Flood’s PrimeCure® and RediCure® models emit energy in the UVA portion of the
spectrum while the VisiCure® model emits energy in the visible portion of the spectrum. UVA light is generally
considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Although OSHA does not currently regulate
visible or ultraviolet-light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLV’s) for ultraviolet light.
