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.
