Model 6040 Dry IR Drying System Instruction Manual
Section 2 – Safety
General
The Model 6040 Dry-IR Drying System is designed for safe operation. Nevertheless, installation,
maintenance and operation of the system can be dangerous for a careless operator or
maintenance person. For your safety and the safety of others, please read the instructions in
this INSTRUCTION MANUAL and follow these safety practices, which will help to prevent
accident or injury.
Infrared Radiation
CAUTION!
• Continuous exposure to high intensity infrared radiation at close proximity could
be harmful to eyes or skin. Although ultra violet electromagnetic radiation is not
being emitted by infrared lamps, harmful burns could still result if an operator is
in close contact with lamps being operated at high intensity.
• Because of the brilliant light emitted by infrared lamps at full intensity, it is
recommended that the eyes be shielded from the glare if observing the lamps or
radiant heat chamber for an extended period of time. Use suitable shaded lenses
or dark glasses.
Electrical Safety
There is danger of electrical shock when servicing the heater module or any item contained in
the blower housing. Even when the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position, there is live HIGH
VOLTAGE (up to 240V) present at the power entry of the switch. The power cord is the main
disconnect for the heater.
WARNING!
• DANGER OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• ALWAYS disconnect the power cord AND any optional interlock circuits before
moving, servicing, installing or replacing lamps.
• NEVER operate the heater with the control box cover open or with the heater front
cover removed. This panel is designed to protect the operator from electrical
shock.
• Even if the Power Switch of the control unit is in the Off position, there is live High
Voltage present at the power entry of the Power Switch, AND at the interlock
circuit when the conveyor is running.
• A position sensing switch will turn the lamps OFF when the mounting arm is
raised, but HIGH VOLTAGE is still present inside the control box.
Note: All service should be performed by qualified Service
personnel.
