Section 1 Introduction The Model 4185 StripIR infrared heater is a lamp and formed reflector heating system that provides even heat distribution across a 1.7” wide strip. The Model 4185 heater uses T-3, halogen lamps backed by a ceramic reflector to provide heat and offer the users benefits of a high density heating solution. The Model 4185 StripIR infrared heaters are designed for use in any application that requires a clean, responsive, non-contact heat source.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS • • • • • • • • • • HEATER DESCRIPTION The lamps of these heaters 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. Localized heat focuses only on the desired area without heating the rest of the product.
Product Sizes A strip 1.7 inches in width and length from 5 to 38 inches (43 by 965 mm) can be heated with a single Model 4185. Mounting two or more heaters side-by-side can create different heated areas. For example, Figure 3 shows eight heaters installed cylindrically to provide high heat concentration on work-piece objects. Heating efficiency is highest on objects 1 inch or larger. Figure 4 shows three heaters installed to provide heat to a moving web of material.
Power Controller The Model 4185 heater comes with the Research, Inc. Model 5420 SCR Power Controller. A separate instruction manual for the Power Controller is included with the heater.
Section 2 Safety GENERAL INFRARED RADIATION The Model 4185 Strip Heater is designed for safe operation. Nevertheless, installation, maintenance and operation of the heater can be dangerous for a careless operator or maintenance person.
