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.

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.
