Installation
The BlueWave MX-150 emitter is part of a MX-series curing system and requires
connection to a controller via an interconnect cable for proper operation.
Important Information
•Do not connect any components while power is applied.
•Mount the BlueWave MX-150 emitter to a rigid support, such as the
emitter stand PN 42390, prior to connecting the interconnect cable to
prevent handling damage.
•Do not touch the emitter aperture glass. This can result in poor
performance and broken glass due to heating. Inspect before each use
and clean with isopropyl alcohol if contaminated.

•If emitter aperture glass is permanently contaminated it must be replaced
for safe operation.
Mounting/Connections
•Each emitter has two sets of M3 x 0.5 mm holes (Figure 1) that align with
Dymax stands and holders.
•When connecting the emitter to the controller, ensure proper strain relief
to prevent pinching or kinking of the interconnect cable.
•The cooling air intake on top of unit must be free flowing, do not cover.
•Exhausting air on sides must be given at least 1 mm (0.04”) of clear
space to obstructions for safe use.
