Section 1 – INTRODUCTION The Model 4069 ChambIR® infrared chamber heater is designed for use in any application that requires a high-intensity, clean, responsive, non-contact heat source. This heater can be used for both continuous processes and test specimens.
Water Cooling – 90° F or less cooling water is required during operation of the Model 4069. Flexible tubing and plumbing fittings are supplied with each heater for easy installation. Required cooling-water flow rates are listed in Specifications. Chilled water below 50° F is not required or desired due to possible condensation on reflectors. Air Cooling – A cooling fan is designed into the Model 4069 housing and provides ambient airflow through the heater body.
Section 2 – FEATURES & BENEFITS The design and functionality of the Model 4069 supplies a variety of features and related benefits: Rapid Response – The quartz halogen lamps heat up and cool down instantly in response to power control signals. They reach 90 percent of full operating temperature within three seconds of a cold start. The radiant energy dissipates to ten percent five seconds after the power supply is disconnected.

Section 4 – SAFETY GENERAL: The Model 4069 heater is designed for safe operation. Nevertheless, installation, maintenance, and operation of the heater can be dangerous for a careless operator or maintenance person. For your safety and the safety of others, read the instructions in this instruction manual and follow these safety practices to help prevent accident or injury. LATCHING SAFETY LATCH A latching shock is installed on the left side of the model 4069 heater.
FIRE SAFETY: 1. Obey the same fire-safety rules you observe when working with hot plates, propane or acetylene torches, soldering irons, and other equipment that operates at extremely high heat. 2. Remove all solids, liquids, and gases that burn easily from the area around the heater. 3. Know where the nearest fire extinguisher is located and how to use it. 4. Know how to put out fire from all the types of material near the heater. Section 5 – INSTALLATION 5.
Figure 5-1. Gas Strut Orientation Figure 5-2. Gas Strut Pin Figure 5-3. Gas Strut Pin Removal 5.4 HEATER COOLING CONNECTIONS: The highly polished aluminum reflectors require liquid cooling to keep the reflecting surface from overheating. If the reflectors overheat, the surface can become oxidized. When oxidation occurs, the aluminum begins to absorb the energy from the lamps, rather than reflecting it to the product, reducing the efficiency of the heater.
Figure 5-4.
5.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: The Model 4069 is supplied with two 12foot (254 mm) power cable bundles. The cable bundles consist of the power wires for the lamps and fan, as well as control wires for the thermostat (TSTAT), water flow interlock switch (WFIS), and heater open interlock switch (HILS). If the Model 4069 was ordered without the "PC" option, the wires are not terminated into a connector. It is the customer's responsibility to hard wire the heater into the power control system.
into a disconnect relay of the power controller/system. If the WFIS "opens" (trips), the disconnect relay of the power control system should remove power to the heater. The WFIS is plumbed inline with the cooling line of the last reflector, before the cooling fluid exits the heater. The WFIS has a minimum flow-rate requirement of 0.5 GPM. If the liquid cooling flow rate falls below 0.5 GPM, the WFIS will "open", and will not "close" if the cooling system fails to provide the minimum 0.
Section 6 – MAINTENANCE The repair and maintenance of the Model 4069 includes replacement of the T3-style lamps, cleaning/replacement of the split quartz liner, and cleaning of the reflectors. 6.1 LAMP REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT/INSTALLATION: The T3-style lamps are installed into the Model 4069 when shipped from the factory.
Figure 6-1. Lamp Installation 11. Cut wire to a length allowing for a service loop. 12. Strip back the insulation on the end of the lamp leads approximately 1-1/2 inches (38 mm). 13. Insert the bare wire of each insulated lamp lead into the ceramic terminal block position that previously held the old lamp. Push each lead wire into the terminal block far enough so, that when tightened, the setscrew will hold the lead securely. 14.
6.2 Split Quartz Liner Cleaning and Replacement: The split quartz liner can be replaced or removed from the Model 4069 for periodic cleaning. Use the following procedure to remove/reinstall/clean the quartz liner: Note: • Remove all power from the heater BEFORE attempting to install/replace the lamps. • Always use clean cotton or latex gloves when handling the split quartz liner so as not to deposit any oils or grease from your hands onto the surface of the split quartz liner. 1.
Figure 6-4. Quartz Liner Removal 5. If cleaning the liner, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner (i.e. household ammonia and water or isopropyl alcohol) and a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. After cleaning, do not touch the outside surface of the liner unless wearing cotton gloves. 6. Reinsert the edges of the liner into the grooves of the quartz-liner bracket. 7. Reinstall the other bracket and secure with the two bracket screws. 8. Repeat this process for the other half of the liner. 6.
continued erosion. A fine particle polishing compound, such as a chrome, semi-chrome, or soft metal polishing compound may be used. These types of compounds can be found at a local automotive or metal-polishing supply house. Follow the polishing instructions listed on the polishing product. The reflectors can be removed from the Model 4069 Heater to make cleaning and maintenance easier.
5. Remove the reflector mounting screws from the end casting of the reflector to be maintained. 6. Remove the reflector. Figure 6-6.
