5.1.
Intended use of the
e-Brick
The
e-Brick
is specifically designed for powering GEW UV dryers and, in certain applications, IR
dryers; contact GEW for details of compatible UV and IR dryers.
The
e-Brick
power supply is a component part of a GEW UV drying system. A complete system
would also include GEW UV dryer(s) e.g.
VCP
, custom cabling, fan cooling, ducting and a human
machine interface (HMI) to control the operation of the system. Systems vary in complexity and the
scope of supply differs depending on the application. This manual should be referred to alongside
the user manuals and installation information for the other components in the system.
5.2. Manual
controls
The
e-Brick
has no manual controls; operation is controlled by the GEW system HMI.
5.3.
Setting and adjustment
The
e-Brick
requires no setting or adjustment after installation; all functions are controlled by the
GEW system HMI. Refer to the
e-Brick
touchscreen software operating manual for details. A
typical HMI setting screen is shown in Figure 8. Using these screens the user is able to select a
lamp, set the required power level, set the power ramping, and monitor lamp service hours.
