Specific Safety Considerations
The BlueWave® LED DX-1000 is 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 LED-curing systems as described
below.
WARNINGS! Looking directly at the high-intensity light emitted by the BlueWave LED DX-1000
can result in eye injury. To prevent eye injury, never look directly at the high-intensity light and
always wear protective goggles (provided).
Operating the light with the Lens Cover in place can result in overheating and equipment damage.
To prevent equipment damage, never operate the unit with the Lens Cover in place.
Removing the cover from the BlueWave LED DX-1000 Controller can result in electrical shock. To
prevent electrical shock, never remove the cover from the DX-1000 Controller.
If you block the air flow from the LED Irradiator Head or Controller Cooling Fans, equipment
damage and malfunction can result. To prevent damage and malfunction, ensure there is
adequate space at the Cooling Fan Outlets to allow the free flow of air.
Dymax UV Light-Curing System Safety Considerations
Operators must understand these three concepts to use the LED light source safely:
■UV exposure
■High-temperature surfaces
■Bright visible light
Each is described below.
UV Exposure
Figure 1. UV Spectrum
!

6
Dymax BlueWave® LED DX-1000 User Guide
Standard Dymax UV light-curing systems have been designed primarily to emit UVA energy (Figure 1). The
energy emitted from the Dymax BlueWave® LED DX-1000 system is in the upper end of the UV portion of the
spectrum. UVA energy is generally considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC.
Although OSHA does not currently regulate UV light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for ultraviolet
light.
The strictest interpretation of the TLV (over the UVA range) for workers’ eyes and skin allows continuous
exposure up to 1 mW/cm2(intensity). Unless you are placing bare hands into the curing area, it is unusual to
exceed these limits. To put 1 mW/cm2limit into perspective, a cloudless summer day will typically exceed
3 mW/cm2of UVA light, and also include the more dangerous UVB light (primarily responsible for sun tans,
sun burns, and skin cancer) as well.
Checking the Workstation
The human eye cannot detect "pure" UV light, only visible light. A radiometer should be used to measure stray
UV light to confirm the safety of a UV light-curing process. A workstation that exposes an operator to more
than 1 mW/cm2of UVA continuously should be redesigned.
Protecting Operators
Light-curing technology can be a regulatory compliant, "worker-friendly" manufacturing process when the
proper safety equipment and operator training is utilized. There are two ways to protect operators from UV
exposure: shield the operator and/or shield the source.
Shield the Operator —UV-Blocking Eye Protection - UV-blocking eye protection is recommended when
operating UV light-curing systems. Both clear and tinted UV-blocking eye protection is available from Dymax.
UV-Blocking Skin Protection —Where the potential exists for UV exposure upon skin, opaque, UV-blocking
clothing, gloves, and full-face shields are recommended.
Shield the Source of UV
Any substrate that blocks UV light can be used as a shield to protect workers from stray UV light. The following
materials can be used to create simple shielding structures:
Rigid Plastic Film —Transparent or translucent/UV-blocking plastics (typically polycarbonate or acrylic) are
commonly used to create shielding where some level of transparency is also desired.
Flexible Film —Translucent UV-blocking, flexible urethane films can be used to quickly create workstation
shielding. This UV-blocking, flexible urethane film is available from Dymax, call for assistance. NOTE: The
BlueWave® LED DX-1000 includes UV-blocking flexible film that is affixed with a magnetic strip that can be
used to attach it to the LED Head and trimmed to suit your application.
High-Temperature Surfaces
Surfaces exposed to high-intensity curing lights may rise in temperature. The intensity, distance, exposure
time, cooling fans, and composition of the surface can all affect the rise in surface temperature. In some cases,
exposed surfaces can reach temperatures capable of producing a burn or causing damage to a substrate. In
these cases, care must be taken to ensure either a more moderate surface temperature or appropriate
protection/training for operators. No infrared radiation is produced by these LED systems, so surface

7
Dymax BlueWave® LED DX-1000 User Guide
temperatures will be lower than with conventional lamp systems. Empirical testing should be used to verify
the exact temperature rise in each application.
Bright Visible Light
The bright visible light energy emitted by curing systems can cause eye strain if proper eye protection or
shielding is not used. The proper use of tinted eye protection and/or opaque/tinted shielding can be utilized to
reduce eye strain and address this concern.
Product Overview
Description of the BlueWave®LED DX-1000
The BlueWave LED DX-1000 is a high-intensity light-curing system used for curing adhesives, coatings, and
potting materials. You can mount and integrate the unit into automated manufacturing systems or, using the
optional stand, conveniently mount and use the unit on a bench top.
The BlueWave LED DX-1000 consists of two main components: a Controller that contains the User Interface
and Power Supply, and an LED Irradiator Head. A cable connects the two components (Figure 2).
The unit can be operated in timed or manual modes. The output intensity level can be adjusted from 0 to
100% to meet process and adhesive requirements. The BlueWave LED DX-1000 is rated for continuous
operation.
Fans in the Controller and Irradiator Head provide cooling and must not be covered or blocked. Fan Filters
must be maintained regularly to ensure reliable operation.
Thermal Sensors in the Controller and Irradiator Head shut the unit down to protect the components if the
internal temperature exceeds maximum limits.

Intensity Control Feature
The components used in all light-curing systems degrade with use. Therefore, the maximum intensity
decreases as exposure hours accumulate. Setting process intensity requirements lower than the maximum
enables the BlueWave® LED DX-1000’s Intensity Control Feature to allow for compensation of gradual
decreases in light intensity.
The unit's intensity can be adjusted using the Intensity Control Feature (Figure 3) on the Front Control Panel.
The intensity adjustment is software controlled and allows for control of output intensity. The ten LED Power
Level Bars correlate to 10% increments of the total available power. Pressing the up button (▲) increases the
light intensity in 1% increments. Pressing the down button (▼) decreases the light intensity in 1% increments.
As the power level is adjusted, the Cycle Time Display changes and displays the power level percentage.
Adjustment of the power setting is done while in manual mode and is not possible while running a timed
exposure.
Use a Radiometer to correlate the percent power output to a reading in W/cm2. The adjustment of power
level and correlation to a light-intensity value (W/cm2) enables precise control of light intensity during
validation and operation.

Validation
Tests should be conducted prior to production to determine the time and light intensity required to fully cure
your resin. The following approaches may be used to validate the curing process.
Set Exposure Time, Determine Intensity
Users can specify a cure time, and through empirical testing, determine the intensity required to achieve a full
cure. As with any manufacturing process, it is advisable to incorporate a safety factor.
Set Intensity, Determine Exposure Time
Users can specify light intensity and through empirical testing, determine the exposure time required to
achieve a full cure. As with any manufacturing process, it is advisable to incorporate a safety factor.
Control
Process validation confirms a minimum acceptable intensity. Users can then choose to operate at full intensity
(using the excess intensity as an additional safety factor) or adjust the output to a specific intensity level. To
insure consistent and repeatable process results, intensity levels should be monitored with a Radiometer. This
enables users to identify light intensity changes and take corrective action: either adjusting the light intensity
or performing maintenance.

Using the PLC Interface
The BlueWave® LED DX-1000 includes a 15-Pin D-Subminiature Connector for communication with a PLC or
similar process control equipment. The connector provides for input and output signals.
Table 1. Pinouts for 15-Pin D-Subminiature Connector on the BlueWave LED DX-1000
Pin Number
Name
Description
1
+24V input
If this input is not present, ignore all PLC inputs and allow the outputs to run
as usual.
2
Power supply and
signal common
Return for all signals on the on the PLC.
3
Sleep input
With 24V applied, disables all functions on the Front Panel, Footswitch, and
PLC Inputs. Shuts down the Fan completely after cooling the LED. Disables
the LED Displays except for the Scrolling Display Panel to indicate sleep
mode. If this signal is initiated during a cure cycle (duration >20 min.) the unit
will terminate the current cure cycle and go into sleep mode.
4
Interlock input
Allows operation of the unit in the PLC mode only if this signal is present. If a
safety switch is used then a failure (mode) in the switch or cables will
terminate the operation of the unit.
5
Activate input
This Pin will work as the Run or Footswitch activation at the current intensity
level (will be used for “simple” remote control of the unit when there is no
desire to vary intensity) and place the unit in manual mode. The PLC will
dictate cycle duration. The Cycle Time Display will indicate all dashes. When
this signal is terminated the unit will remain in manual mode.
6
Intensity input
This is a PWM input used to set the LED intensity and describe a running set
point. This input will work in conjunction with the Activate Input to enable
operation. The PWM base frequency shall be 1 KHz. The duty cycle will
dictate relative intensity.
7
Local disable input
When this Pin is asserted, the Footswitch and Run triggers will still be
operational, but the Front Panel Controls will be "locked out" from the user.
Activation can be accomplished but no adjustment to the mode of operation,
set point of the LED intensity, or the timer setting will be possible. This will also
prevent the ability to check system or LED operation hours.
8
Power on output
Asserted when the unit has correct AC voltage supplied and the internal
supplies are within limits.
9
LED powered
output
Asserted when the LED Power Supply is powered up, regardless of set point
(5-100% power). This activation can be either Footswitch, Front Panel
Button, or “Intensity In”.
NOTE: Verification of LED illumination should be made visually to ensure
proper operation.
10
Intensity output
This is a PWM-based signal to drive the LED. It is a confirmation of operation
for a given setting and as a relative indication of power level.
