4. Site
When the equipment is used for drying paint or any
other type of drying where solvent is used, the ventila-
tion in the workshop must be regulated so that the
concentration of solvent in the air never exceeds 25 %
of the lowest explosive limit.
5. Operating
instructions
Insert the plug in an earthed electrical outlet. Switch the
circuit breaker. The lamp will illuminate and full output
will be reached within a few seconds. To turn off the
equipment, switch the circuit breaker once again.
By radiating only the needed areas and not heating any
air, a lower energy consumption is achieved.
Since the reflector of
IRT 1
is elliptical, distance acts
as both the temperature and surface area regulator. In
most cases it is suitable to start at a distance of 12”
from the surface to be heated. Move the IRT 1 sidewards
to maintain an even temperature.
The
IRT 2
is equipped with 2 FreeForm reflectors. A
more even surface temperature is obtained by distribut-
ing the energy evenly. Optimum distance is 15-25”.
Warning!
If a shorter distance to the object being
heated is used, the temperature of the object rapidly
increases to a very high level.
If for any reason an IR lamp should break, the equipment
must immediately be disconnected from the electrical
outlet.

7. Instructions to the owner
The owner of the infrared lamp is to draw up a list of
instructions on how to use the lamp, in clear language
that the user can understand, and taking into account
the manual and the prevailing conditions in the work
place. These instructions must be available, and kept in a
place known and accessible to the user.
Everyone using the infrared heater must follow the
instructions for use.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (in-
cluding children) with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
6. Hazards
Electrical equipment
The equipment operates under with dangerous electrical
voltage.
When working with the equipment it is necessary to:
– Remove the plug from the wall socket.
– Contact an electrician. Only qualified electrician may
work on the equipment.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Warning! Intensive heat radiation!
Heating body parts (hands. face etc.) is strictly prohib-
ited.
Never point the heater towards flammable material.
Not to be used without supervision.
The focal point of the IRT 1 is 16 mm in front of the
edge of the reflector. If the object comes within or close
to this focal point, the object becomes extremely hot,
and risk of fire could arise.
CAUTION - Hot Surface. Avoid Contact.
To reduce the risk of explosion, do not use in paint spray
booths or within 10 feet of paint sprying operations.
CAUTION - To provide continued protection
against risk of electric shock, connect to prop-
erly grounded outlets only.
Warning!
Ensure that your supply cable is not melted or exces-
sively heated.
