Dymax BlueWave® 200 Version 3.0 User Guide
To Change from PLC Mode to Manual Mode or Timer Mode:
NOTE: You cannot exit PLC Mode by pressing any keys on the front panel. You must follow the procedure
below.
1. Refer to “Using the PLC Switch” (Page 20).
2. Set the switch to “PLC MODE DISABLED”.
3. Re-attach the covers and screws.
4. Plug the AC Cord into a source of power.
5. Turn the BlueWave 200 on using the On/Off Switch on the back panel.
6. Press the On Button on the unit’s front panel.
7. After the Bulb warm-up sequence is complete, the BlueWave 200 will return to Timer Mode or Manual
Mode, depending on how it was used before entering PLC Mode.
Operating in Manual Mode
Manual Mode Description
Manual Mode means that the shutter opens whenever the foot pedal or the run button on the front panel is
pressed. When the shutter is open, UV light passes through the lightguide. The shutter remains open only as
long as the foot pedal or run button is pressed. When the foot pedal and run button are released, the shutter
closes and no UV light passes through the lightguide.
We recommend you follow the instructions in “Setting the Intensity” (Page 27).
Procedure
CAUTION! Always wear protective goggles or a face shield when working near UV light. Never
look directly at the light exiting the lightguide.
1. Ensure the BlueWave 200 is in Manual Mode (Figure 24).
NOTE: If the BlueWave 200 is not in Manual Mode, follow the instructions in “Choosing an Operating
Mode” (Page 13).
2. Position the Lightguide end no closer than 0.25" [0.64 cm] from the material being cured. Positioning the
Lightguide End too close can cause the Lightguide End to become cloudy from vapors coming off the
curing material. This cloudiness can reduce UV output by as much as 50%.
3. Press and hold the Foot Pedal or the Button on the front panel to open the Shutter.
