SAFETY and WARNINGS
The Model IR7C Ink Drying System is designed for safe operation, when properly connected to a
compatible conveyor model. However; installation, maintenance, and operation of the Model
IR7C Ink Drying System can be dangerous for a careless operator or maintenance person.
For your safety and the safety of others, before using this product, please read this manual
completely, heed all CAUTION and WARNING labels, and follow these safety practices which
will help to prevent accident or injury.
General Safety Precautions
• BURN HAZARD. Do not touch the dryer housing or infrared lamps. The Infrared lamps
temperature may exceed 500° F. Contact with the lamps will cause severe BURNS.
• Even if the lamps are cool; do not touch the infrared lamps with bare hands. Doing so will
deposit oils on the lamps and cause the lamps to fail prematurely.
• Allow the lamps to cool before moving the dryer.
• FIRE HAZARD. Flammable objects may ignite if they are left under the lamps for too long.
• If the conveyor jams or a media jam occurs under the dryer; immediately turn OFF the dryer
and carefully remove the jam before proceeding.
Electrical Safety
• There is a danger of electrical shock when servicing the drying module. Even when the
ON/OFF rocker switch is in the OFF position, there is live HIGH VOLTAGE (up to 120V)
present at the power entry of the fused IEC power connector.
• Unplug the dryer before performing any maintenance/service.
• Do not allow liquids to contact the dryer, lamps, or dryer housing.
If a liquid is accidently spilled onto or into the dryer, immediately unplug the power cord from
the dryer and call for service. Do not reconnect the dryer until it has been inspected and
serviced by a qualified service person.
WARNING!
• ALWAYS connect the dryer to the appropriate outlet on the compatible conveyor. This is
a switched outlet that will shut off the dryer if the conveyor is shut off.
• NEVER connect the dryer directly to a wall outlet. Doing so creates a safety hazard and
may cause damage to the conveyor.
• ALWAYS use the properly rated power cord supplied with the dryer.
• NEVER run the machine with the fan cover on the dryer removed, or with the heater
raceway covers removed.
• ALWAYS disconnect the power cord prior to servicing the machine.
• ALWAYS disconnect the power cord before installing or changing lamps.
• NEVER place any part of your body under the heating lamps.
• ALWAYS allow lamps to cool at least 10 minutes before servicing lamps or adjacent
parts. After the lamps have cooled; use cotton gloves when touching lamps.
• NEVER allow the dryer to operate un-attended. The operator must be present at all times!
