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.
Dymax UVCS LED light-curing conveyor systems use high-intensity light sources for fast curing of light-curable materials. UVCS bench-top conveyors can be outfitted with BlueWave® LED flood systems available in one of three different wavelengths (365 nm, 385 nm, or 405 nm). The flood system consists of two main components: an LED flood array and a power supply that contains the user interface.
Assembly and Setup Unpacking and Inspecting Your Shipment Your UVCS LED light-curing conveyor will arrive in one or two crates. Inspect the crates and 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.

Blower Speed Control The height of the LED Array can be adjusted using the knobs located on both sides of the Conveyor Cradle. The height indicator can be used as a reference to adjust both sides to the same height. The height is displayed as a letter.
UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide Operating the LED Light Operating Modes There are three basic operating modes: Manual, Timer, and PLC. PLC and timer modes are not recommended for use with a conveyor. Manual Mode: Manual mode allows the user to activate the LED Array with the use of the run button on the front panel or with a signal provided to the footswitch port in the back of the controller.
UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide To Switch Between Manual and Timer Mode: 1. From the main page, press the button to open the Options Menu (Figure 11). 2. Use the buttons, so that the “SELECT MODE” option is flashing and press the button to open the Select Mode Menu (Figure 12).
UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide LED Operation It is recommended that the LED Controller be set to Manual Mode for conveyor operation. Connect the LED Array to the Controller. Connect the Controller to the Conveyor via the Foot Switch Interconnect Cable.
Cleaning and Maintenance Belt-Tracking Adjustment Figure 15. Belt-Tension Adjustment Knob All Dymax UVCS Conveyors are factory adjusted to provide proper tracking of the Belt. Should further adjustments become necessary, there are two knurled Adjustment Knobs located at the input end of the Conveyor (Figure 15).

Ultraviolet (UV) - The invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelength ranges in general from 1.0 to 400 nm. Dymax Arrays do not radiate energy in deep ultraviolet; there are very minute amounts below 220 nm and practically nothing can be sensed below 200 nm. This is due to the use of ozone-blocking quartz bulb envelope (See Ozone).
