8 4. Assembly /Installation 1. Take out the pedestal 3, install the rear wheel brackets onto the pedestal and the rear wheels 2 2. Fix the column 6 onto the pedestal 3 using the 4 hex bolts provided. At this time, Do not press the gas strut lever as the arm (8) will extend fiercely when the infrared head assembly is not connected / mounted 3. Install the cassette assembly back bar directly under the swing arm junction box. 4. Attach the power wires A, B, C, D, E, F from the cassettes and the distance sensor plug into the associated sockets at the junction box Install the handle 5 onto the column Important: Remove the stickers from the protection covers. 7. Important: Take out the red foam cubes behind the tubes. Notes: Live wire (black), neutral wire (white), ground wire (green). Power supply: 20 Amp, 1 PH 220V/ 240v 60Hz. If you want to move the emitter up and down, use one hand to hold the Cross arm on the handhold, and push the gas filled struts handle 11 with the other hand Move the cross arm only by using the handhold to avoid risk of injury! 8

Right red indicator: Distance is too close. 5.1 Curing Times The following times are provided as an approximate guide only. Paint type Half power / Flash off (Minutes) Full bake (Minutes) Filler/Stopper Primer Hi-build Solid-color Clear coat Waterborne primer Note: We suggest that 5 minutes half power / flash time is added when curing high build primers and dark colors. When possible consult a B-TEC SYSTEMS paint curing data sheet. 10

11 6. Replacement of Emitter Lamp Tube Un-plug the power supply, before replacing the infrared emitter / tube. 1. Remove the side panel. 2. Release the radiating panel. 3.

Cleaning must be conducted after the machine is disconnected from the power source and cooled down if necessary. Do not restart the equipment until all solvent / cleaning fluid residue has evaporated. 15 minutes advised as the evaporation time. Disconnect 1 2 The emitter wires

12 7. Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION SOLVENT POPPING UNDER CURE OR SOFTNESS OF THE PAINT FILM SOFTNESS ON EDGES OF REPAIR DIFFICULTY IN POLISHING OUT DIRT NIBS UNEVEN CURE Unit too close to panel Insufficient flash off time Paint system has a fast reducer Unit too far away Insufficient bake time Excessive film weight Repair too large for I.R. unit Too long on bake cycle Unit too close to panel IR cassettes not shaped to contours of repair Move unit further away Increase flash off time Use a standard or slow reducer Move unit closer Increase full bake time Apply lighter coats Split area into two, move unit for 2nd application. If flash off is used, it will not be necessary on second application Reduce cure time Move unit further away Adjust IR cassettes for even heat distribution For optimal baking performance, we recommend that users should obtain either B-TEC SYSTEMS paint curing data, or consult the paint companies recommendations.
