Adjust the Belt speed by turning the Speed Control Knob (Figure 10). The Belt speed will be indicated on the Speed 
Display Indicator. 

12.

 

When the Conveyor is operating and the Belt is in motion, turn each Power Supply on. Allow five minutes for the 
Bulbs to reach full output intensity.  

13.

 

After several hours of Conveyor operation, verify that the Lamp Reflector temperatures are satisfactory.  Add or 
remove Temperature Control Plates to achieve satisfactory Reflector temperatures. 

Conveyor Operation 

1.

 

Install all safety accessories to protect operator from UV-light emissions. 

2.

 

Apply power to the Conveyor and turn it on. 

3.

 

Using the Speed Controller Knob (Figure 10), adjust the speed for the desired setting. 

NOTE: The digital readout for speed is in feet per minute. 

4.

 

If any adjustments are needed for the Belt alignment, refer to the maintenance section of this manual. 

5.

 

Adjust the height of the Lamps to the desired distance. 

6.

 

Once all the settings (speed and lamp height) have been properly set, the Conveyor is ready for operation. 

7.

 

Apply power to the Lamps and turn them on. 

8.

 

A Temperature Indicator Strip is attached to the Reflector Housing of each Lamp. The optimum operating 
temperature is from 115° F to 145° F.  Figure 11 shows a typical Temperature Indicator Strip reading a representative 
temperature.

NOTE: The Conveyor must be operating and the Conveyor Belt must be in motion before the Lamps are turned on. This 
prevents Belt overheating and damage that can result if the Belt is stationary when the Lamp is running.
