Page 5: Dymax Light-Curing System Safety Considerations
UV Exposure Standard Dymax UV light-curing systems and bulbs have been designed to primarily emit UVA light (Figure 1). UVA light is generally considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Although OSHA does not currently regulate ultraviolet light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for ultraviolet light. - Page 6 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 (O2) split into oxygen atoms (O) and recombine with O2 to create ozone O3.

Integrated Cooling System – After the lamp is turned off, there is a 5-minute time off delay on the irradiator cooling fans. Do not turn off main power to the system until this 5-minute delay has elapsed. Failure to wait can cause damage to the irradiator cooling assembly or the UV lamp. -
Page 10: Installation And Interconnection
Conveyor Setup Installation and Interconnection Your WIDECURE UV light-curing conveyor system requires minimal assembly once removed from the packing skid or crate. 1. A certified electrician should provide 460 VAC, 3Ø, 60Hz, 30A supply. The junction box on the right side of the system contains four #8 AWG MTW wires. - Page 11 Figure 6. Irradiator 4. The curing chamber is surrounded by an enclosure, and has a perforated screen on top. Adjustable panels are located on the infeed and outfeed openings of the cure chamber area. Slide the panels up and down to allow for clearance of the parts being run, but low enough to reduce stray light emissions from these openings.
