1200 EC:
The Dymax 1200 EC is a focused beam UV lamp used for the curing of UV adhesives, coatings and inks. The
unit's elliptical reflector provides an intense 1" x 6" area of UV energy 4.5" away from the lower edge of the
lamp/reflector assembly housing.
The 1200 EC employs convection cooling. An optional Fan Ventilation Kit is available to remove excessive heat
and ventilate curing vapors away from the lamp/reflector assembly housing. (Refer to the
SPARE
PARTS/OPTIONS
section of this manual for more information on the Fan Ventilation Kit.)
OPERATION
Turn the unit on by pressing the power "ON" switch, located on the left front of the power supply panel. The switch will
light up to indicate that the power is ON.
NOTE
:
WHILE MOST LAMPS TYPICALLY REQUIRE LESS THAN 30 SECONDS TO IGNITE, A NEW LAMP WILL
SOMETIMES REQUIRE SEVERAL MINUTES.
After the lamp has ignited, allow 5 minutes for the lamp to reach its maximum output intensity.
LAMP LIFE IS REDUCED APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR EACH TIME IT IS STARTED. TO AVOID PREMATURE
LAMP DETERIORATION, LEAVE THE UNIT ON THROUGH BREAKS, SHORT SHUTDOWNS AND LUNCH HOURS.
These UV light sources are designed for continuous operation.
NOTE:
If the power is momentarily lost or the lamp is inadvertently shut off, it must cool down before restarting. This may
take 5-10 minutes depending on ambient conditions. The power supply may be left energized while the lamp is cooling.
The lamp will re-light when it has cooled sufficiently.
EACH TIME THE LAMP IS TURNED ON, IT SHOULD OPERATE FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO ALLOW COMPLETE
IONIZATION OF ELEMENTS INSIDE THE LAMP. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE LAMP
TO RESTART. REFER TO THE TROUBLE-SHOOTING SECTION OF THIS MANUAL FOR MORE INFORMATION.
MAINTENANCE
LAMP REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Every new 400-Watt EC Series UV light source is supplied with a new lamp. When the lamp 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 lamp to cool.
THE LAMP OPERATES AT TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 500 DEGREES CELSIUS (C). TOUCHING THE LAMP
BEFORE SUFFICIENT COOL DOWN TIME IS ALLOWED WILL CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY EYE WEAR WHILE REPLACING LAMP.
4. Hold the lamp/reflector assembly housing securely and loosen thumbscrew on the lamp/reflector assembly-
housing bracket. Lift the housing off the mounting stand and place upside down on a clean work surface.
