UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Upon receipt of the unit, carefully remove the contents from the boxes and check for damage. Dymax is not responsible for damage from shipping – all claims for shipping damage should be made with the carrier. Check all boxes for contents and write down any serial numbers for further reference. You may wish to retain original shipping cartons in case you need to repackage any item for return. Figure 1.
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION Each Flood Lamp System consists of the following components: A solid-state Power Supply that allows external electrical inputs and provides power to the Bulb located in the Lamp/Reflector Assembly Housing. The Power Supply contains the On/Off Power Switch and Hour Meter that are located on the front panel. The Power Supply also houses its own Cooling Fans and power distribution for optional accessories.

OPERATION Turn the unit on by pressing the Power Switch, located on the left of the front panel of the Power Supply. The switch will light up to indicate that the power is on. NOTE: While most Bulbs typically require less than 30 seconds to ignite, a new Bulb may initially require a slightly longer time. After the Bulb has ignited, allow 5 minutes to reach its maximum output intensity. Bulb life is reduced approximately one hour each time it is started.
MAINTENANCE BULB REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE Every new EC-Series Flood Lamp is supplied with a new 400 Watt Bulb. When the Bulb requires replacement, the following procedure must be followed. 1. Turn the Power Switch off. 2. Disconnect the Power Supply from the electrical power source. 3. Allow the Bulb to cool. CAUTION: The Bulb operates at temperatures exceeding 500°C. Touching the Bulb before sufficient cooling may cause severe burns. CAUTION: Always wear safety eye wear while replacing Bulb. 4.
8. Record the serial number of the unit and the Hour Meter reading in the Bulb history record. 9. Replace the Lamp/Reflector Assembly Housing on the Conveyor Cradle. 10. Secure the thumbscrew when the Lamp/Reflector Assembly Housing is at the proper height. 11. Reconnect the Power Cord to the appropriate power source. 12. Turn the Conveyor on by turning the Power Switch to the on position. 13. Allow at least 5 minutes for the Bulb to reach operating temperature before using.
CLEANING: Periodically clean the Bulb and Reflector surfaces. A soft, clean cloth and any standard glass cleaner should be used. Heavier deposits may require cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. CAUTION: Cleaning the Reflector with a rough or dirty cloth will result in a dulled surface, thereby, reducing reflectance and decreasing UV output. Use only a soft, clean cloth. Any uncured resins spilled onto the system can be removed with isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: Only qualified maintenance personnel should attempt the following procedures. Problem Possible Cause Testing Corrective Action Improperly fastened connections Visually inspect all connections to and from the Power Supply. Secure all connections. Main Line Fuses blown Remove Fuses from Power Receptacle and check with an Ohmmeter. Replace Fuses, if defective. Corroded Lamp Bases Visually inspect the Lamp Bases for any signs of corrosion.
NOTE: When contacting Dymax Corporation, an authorized Dymax distributor, or manufacturer’s representative, be sure to know and provide the following: Model number of unit in question. Serial number of unit in question. Product number of the adhesive in question (if applicable). Lot number of the adhesive in question (if applicable). All returns to Dymax Corporation must be accompanied by a return authorization number (RAN). This number must be obtained from Dymax Customer Service.
DEFINITION OF TERMS Flood Lamp System - Set of components arranged to generate, collect, condition and direct UV radiant energy to perform curing of engineering adhesives, coatings, and inks within a safe and controlled process. It includes a Lamp Housing and Power Supply and may also include a Shutter, Workstation, UV Enclosure, Light Shield, and/or accessories.
SAFETY Dymax ultraviolet light-curing technology has been used successfully for over 30 years. The fast cure, onecomponent nature of our UV light-curing technology has made it the process of choice for many manufacturers requiring a "cure on demand" assembly process. There are four common questions/concerns related to UV lightcuring systems: UV exposure, high-temperature surfaces, ozone, and bright, visible light.
Rigid Plastic Film – Transparent, UV-blocking plastics (typically polycarbonate or acrylic) are commonly used to create shielding where transparency is also desired. These rigid plastic films are available either water-clear or tinted. Flexible Film – UV-blocking, flexible urethane films can be used to quickly create workstation shielding. This UV-blocking, flexible urethane film is available from Dymax.
