BrownDigital FireFly Technician’s reference
Bottom air is beneficial when attempting to dry
solvents that have soaked through to the bottom
side of the product. This includes certain digital
prints or freshly dyed material.
For optimal efficiency and performance, the
convection air should be used in small amounts.
Convection air tends to decrease the energy
transferred to the product from the bulbs (via
radiation).
Exhaust and Cooler:
The exhaust and cooler settings are also
contained in each program, such that certain
products may have these fans turned on while
other products may have them turned off. Use of
the exhaust and cooler fans is optional.
Bulb Powers:
The Firefly Curing System has the ability to set
independent bulb powers for every bulb in the
system. These powers are set using the expanded
program options on the main screen (Figure 3)
Figure 3: Bulb Powers Option
Controlling the bulb powers allows flexibility in
managing the intensity of heat in the system.
Setting all bulb powers at 100% ensures
maximum intensity heat, which is ideal for
production performance. Lower power settings
allows for moderate intensity heat for delicate
applications. Varying powers can be set to
optimize specific jobs, such as setting high bulb
powers on the front few bulbs to act as an initial
“bump”, and setting the rest of the bulbs lower to
maintain the cure temperature while minimizing
any possible overshoot.
Generally slower belt speeds require lower bulb
powers, whereas faster belt speeds require higher
bulb powers.
Default Program:
When the Firefly Curing System first powers on,
every belt loads the “Default” program cure
parameters. These parameters may be adjusted at
the main control Kiosk by choosing “Settings”
→ “Default Program” (Figure 4)
Figure 4: Default Program Button
In the Default Program Screen (Figure 5), the
default cure parameters may be adjusted. If
adjustments are made, the “Back” button will
change to “Save”. Press the “Save” button to
save changes, or “Reset” to discard changes.
