Ozone Standard Dymax bulbs (UVA type) generate an insignificant amount of UVC and therefore essentially no ozone. Some UV light-curing systems, like those used to cure UV inks, emit primarily “shortwave” (UVB and UVC) energy. Upon exposure to UVC light (specifically <240 nm), oxygen molecules (O...
Product Overview Description of the BlueWave 200 The BlueWave 200 is a high-intensity, UV light-curing spot lamp used for curing adhesives, coatings, and potting materials. It emits UV light from a lightguide (sold separately). The lightguide can be hand-held for complete mobility, clamped into position for repetitive operations, or integrated into automated equipment.
Assembly and Setup Unpacking and Inspecting Your Shipment When your BlueWave 200 arrives, inspect the 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.

4. Remove the protective end caps from the Lightguide. Visually inspect the two ends of the Lightguide to verify that no foreign material is present. The ends of a Dymax liquid-filled Lightguide can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol as required to remove foreign material and deposition from outgassing.
6. If desired, the Lightguide may be fastened into place by lightly tightening the securing Setscrew installed in the Lightguide Mount. A hex wrench is provided with the BlueWave 200 for this purpose. The Setscrew should be tightened gently to prevent damaging the Lightguide.
Setting the Cycle Duration The Shutter Timer located on the front panel of the BlueWave 200 is factory set to the most common operating mode and recommended operation of the Shutter Timer with the BlueWave 200. Some modes available on this Shutter Timer may not operate correctly with the BlueWave 200 unit and have been disabled.
