Dymax BlueWave® LED Prime UVA User Guide 

To operate the timer, select the “timer” option of the Timer/Manual Selector Switch on the front panel.  

Program the time into the Timer and depress the Footswitch.  Factory settings will power the LED and the 
preset value will begin to count backward.  When the Timer reaches 00.00, it will reset the value to the set 
value and remove power from the LED.  The Timer can be stopped by pressing the RESET button on the lower 
left face of the Timer.  If power is removed from unit, the Timer will reset to the set value. 

To select the time, press the appropriate key (up or down) until the corresponding digit increments or 
decrements in the set value.  By pressing the up key labeled (1), it will increment the left most digit on the set 
value.  By pressing the up key (2), it will increment the second digit of the set value.  The same will happen 
with the up key (3) and the third digit of the set display, and up key (4) and the fourth digit of the set display.  
The Timer will increment from 9 back to 0. The Timer comes programmed for a range of 00.01 seconds to 
99.99 seconds. Consult the factory for other time ranges and function options available. 

The LED does not employ an automatic life-end shutdown circuit. The only condition that may shut off the LED 
would be an over-temperature shutdown. If an over-temperature shutdown occurs, check that the airflow is 
not restricted to the system and that the fan filter is clean. If the condition persists, consult the factory for 
further assistance. If the lightguide is not fu

lly seated into the unit, or if it becomes dislodged by as little as ⅛” 

from the Lightguide Mount, the Safety Interlock built into the assembly will terminate power to the LED. Re-
seating the lightguide will automatically re-activate it. No user-serviceable parts exist within the enclosure.  

Position the curing end of the lightguide no closer than ¼” from material being cured. Placing the lightguide 

end too close can cause the lightguide to become cloudy from vapors coming off of the curing material.  

In a typical bulb-based system, lamp life is reduced each time it is started. The new LED-based systems have 
no such limitations. They can be shut off and then immediately restarted with no cool-down or warm-up 
periods or loss of system lifetime.  

9-Pin Connector I/O Signals 

The 

BlueWave LED Prime UVA

 unit is equipped with a 9-pin D-subminiature connector that provides interface 

between the device and a PLC or similar factory control equipment. The following describes available inputs 
and outputs.  

Input Signals 

Each input signal is optically isolated from the internal circuit of the 

BlueWave LED Prime UVA

. A po24V 

and maximum 10-milliamp current source is required to activate each signal input. All inputs are returned to 
the common terminal, and have built-in current-limiting resistors to protect the isolators.  

Pin 1 

 +24V: 

Applying power to this pin enables the Safety Interlock (4). The safety interlock will not function 

24V is applied to this pin. 

Pin 2 

 Common: 

All signals, both inputs and outputs, are returned to this pin. Common may be used 

independently of +24V for all outputs and inputs, except for the safety interlock (4) input. 

Pin 3 

 Shutter In: 

This signal line may be used to remotely activate the 

BlueWave LED Prime UVA

. When it is 

being used, the local footswitch on the rear of the 

BlueWave LED Prime UVA

 box is still capable of operating
