Product Overview

Description of BlueWave MX-250 Emitters

•When paired with a MX-series controller, BlueWave MX-250 emitters function as a

mini- flood-curing system with a 50 mm x 50 mm (2 in x 2 in) asserted curing area.

They provide manufacturers with curing flexibility and expansion capabilities.

•The BlueWave MX-250 emitter is air cooled using an axial fan.

•The BlueWave MX-250 emitter can be mounted using one of two hole patterns

in the housing body.

Unpacking

Upon arrival, inspect all boxes for damage and notify the shipper of box damage

immediately. Open each box and check for equipment damage. If parts are damaged,

notify the shipper and submit a claim for the damaged parts. Contact Dymax so that

new parts can be shipped to you immediately.

WARNING! Until the BlueWave MX-250 emitter is attached to a

controller via the interconnect cable it is susceptible to ESD damage, handle

according to ESD standards using a ground strap and do not touch exposed

connector pins.

The parts below are included in every package/order. If parts are missing from your

order, contact your local Dymax representative or Dymax Customer Support to resolve

the problem.

Installation

The BlueWave MX-250 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-250 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.

U S E R G U I D E |B L U E W A V E M X - 2 5 0 E M I T T E R S 7

•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 2) 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.

Figure 2.

•When multiple emitters are mounted side-by-side, maintain 1 mm (0.04”) of

clear space between units. For outermost units, maintain 20 mm (0.8”) of free

space to obstructions for safe use.

Product Cleaning and Care

•Product cleaning is limited to wiping the product with a damp cloth. Do not soak.

Isopropanol Alcohol or household cleaners may be used for cleaning the product.

•Always inspect the quartz window for cleanliness before use. Foreign material can

cause permanent damage to the window. Clean with Isopropanol Alcohol to

remove smudges or foreign material. Damaged or permanently etched windows

should be replaced.

•Do not use compressed air to removed particle debris inside the emitter as it may

damage the high-speed cooling fan.

Glass Window Replacement

1. Before starting, disconnect power to the unit.

2. Lay the emitter on its side with the cover facing upwards. Using a 5/64” hex key,

loosen and fully remove the two screws (Figure 4).

3. Remove the side cover by lifting from the bottom as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 4.

Remove Screws

Remove Side Cover

4. Slide the damaged glass cover out (Figure 6), taking care not to touch the metallic

reflector surfaces.

NOTE: If the old window has shattered, be sure to remove all debris before

attempting to install the new glass window.

5. Unwrap the new window and carefully clean with the enclosed alcohol swab.

Holding the window by its sides, slide into the groove (Figure 7). Take care not to

touch the glass with bare hands, as any residue left on the window can adversely

affect the performance of the unit.
