Product Overview Figure 1. AX-550 LED Flood Curing System The BlueWave AX-550 is a high-intensity LED flood system used for curing light-curable materials. The unit is designed to be integrated into a larger system, such as an automated manufacturing system, or used with a light shielding enclosure to create a bench-top curing station.
Figure 6. Minimum Clearance mounting fixtures or Dymax accessories. For example: on a desktop with a Dymax stand, on a chamber, conveyer, etc. This system should only be operated in a location that provides proper Intake cooling. Location requirements are as follows: requires 1"...
Dymax. The power cord supplied with the Controller is specifically designed and certified to work with the Controller. The Dymax supplied power cord contains a special ferrite at the plug end which is required for proper operation of the Controller.
Connections Figure 9. An 18-pin removable terminal block (the green part in Figures 9-11) Insert Hard Wire into Terminal Block comes with the controller. The terminal block allows quick and easy wiring. The terminal block can fit the wire from AWG 24 to AWG 16. General Instructions for Terminal Attachment •...

Connect Footswitch To control UV illumination with the footswitch option, connect as shown below. • Red Wire to LED ON/OFF PIN 6 • Black Wire to a COM PIN (A) • Green/Yellow Wire to CHASSIS GND PIN 14 Figure 16. Footswitch Figure 17.
PLC UV Control PLC switching may be driven by manual switch, relay, or optical coupler. Only analog intensity uses a voltage input to the PLC. To use the PLC mode inputs, the PLC ENABLE pin 12 must be pulled down to low by grounding to the PLC return, PLC GND or a COM ground point The PLC can control the UV on/off using the LED ON/OFF input Pin 6.
PLC Power channel is a 24V source available for use to drive PLC logic but must be current limited using pull-down resistors to protect the BlueWave AX-550 when directly attached to the I/O channels through the PLC connector. Figure 21.

System Initializing Figure 26. Padlock location The system is designed to work in any one of three modes of operation as indicated in the upper left of the display: Admin Mode: The administration mode allows full control of system functions. Production Mode: This mode doesn’t allow changes to the irradiation parameters.
System Settings Figure 28. In Admin Mode or Production Mode, select the settings icon Admin Mode Settings Screen located at the upper right corner. Settings: Loads the settings screen where the volume, language, screen brightness, and other user settings can be adjusted. In admin mode, the settings screen shows all settings (Figure 28).

Swap Between Admin and Production Mode To change from admin mode to production mode: Select the padlock icon at the upper left corner of the screen (which is un-locked) using the rotary pushbutton. Push the center of the rotary pushbutton. The padlock icon will become locked. This indicates that the mode has switched to production mode.
Irradiation Setup To start a new irradiation, it is necessary to confirm TIME and POWER values. These values can be changed in admin mode only. To modify the values, follow the steps shown below. Table 3. Irradiation Setup Operation Time Setting Power Setting To choose between the TIME or POWER settings, turn the dial to the desired setting, it will turn blue, then press the dial, the time...

Curing Time Screen By pressing the time display/button you can access the timer setting. You must turn rotary pushbutton to select the desired time and press it to accept the set value (Figure 39). The entry range is from 0.1 to 999.9 seconds with a resolution of 0.1(s). Figure 39.
Irradiation in Production or Admin Mode To run the exposure cure cycle in Production or Admin mode, a timer and power setting is required. Timer The timer can be setup in Admin mode only. The range of the timer is 0 to 999.9 seconds. If the timer is set to 0, the UV LED will be controlled by the pushbutton and/or the footswitch (if connected to LED ON/OFF, COM input).
Irradiation in PLC mode When in PLC mode, an external PLC can control the unit. The PLC provides input signals to the BlueWave AX-550 LED Flood System to control the on/off signals and intensity of the LEDs. The PLC can also monitor the status of the system by reading output signals provided by the unit.
Page 28
To run a curing cycle in PLC mode: Assert the PLC ENABLE input (connect the input to COM), PLC screen should appear. Set the intensity level source by toggling the LED INTENSITY INT/EXT line. INTERNAL mode uses the value set in the controller.
Maintenance Product Cleaning Product cleaning is limited to wiping the product with a damp cloth. Do not soak. Isopropyl Alcohol and mild detergent may be used for cleaning the product. Emitter Replacement To replace the emitter, follow these steps: Place the unit on a flat surface and remove the 4 M3 Screws located on the sides using a 2.0-mm Hex Screwdriver. (Figure 46) Remove the Emitter section carefully and replace it with the desired Emitter.
Replace Fuse To replace the fuse, follow these steps: Open the Fuse Cover using flat screwdriver. (Figure 49) Lift the Fuse Holder using the flat screwdriver. (Figure 50) Figure 49. Figure 50. Open Fuse Cover Lift Fuse Holder Note that the fuse holder is labeled for correct orientation. Take out the Fuse Holder.
