Product Overview

Description of BlueWave®MX-150 Emitters

▪When paired with a MX-series controller, BlueWave® MX-150 emitters function as a

high-intensity spot-curing system. The system can be set up in many configurations

and can be used with a lightguide if needed.

▪The BlueWave® MX-150 emitter is air cooled using an axial fan.

▪The BlueWave® MX-150 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-150 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-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.

BlueWave® MX-150 Emitter User Guide

▪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.
