SAFETY

Electrical Safety
WARNING! It is the owner’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before use. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply. See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and all electrical connections to ensure that none is loose.
Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used and check that supply is correctly fused, see fuse rating at right.
DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead.
DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
DO NOT use worn or damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a qualified electrician.
This product comes without a plug. You must contact a qualified electrician to ensure an adequate supply is available. If fitting such a plug –

Ensure that the unit is correctly wired and earthed, as follows

Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
Connect the BROWN live wire to live terminal ‘L’.
Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation is clamped by the cable grip and that the grip is tight.

Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cores of the cable is important. 2.5mm² section is a minimum, but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.

Raise support arm (D) carefully using handle (C) on gas strut until the arm is horizontal to main upright. Ensure support arm is being held whilst being raised.
To Assemble the Cassette Module: Please note: before proceeding as below, remove the T-handle from the centre strap and discard the M8 nut.
Set out the cassettes so that all the cables are on the same side and that the centre cassette has the central holes in for the mounting arm.
Fit the cassette strap assemblies with the 12 bolts and washers to the cassettes (fig.2).
Fit the Mounting Arm to central cassette using the T-Knob, flat washer and star washer. Make sure that the star washer fits between the cassette strap assembly and the mounting arm (fig.3).The assembled cassette head should be as shown in fig.4

Once the cassette assembly is complete, place the star washer onto protruding cassette bolt (G), then fit bolt into hole on the swivel head (H). Then place the star washer, plain washer and secure with the handle.
Plug cassette cables into socket (J).
The unit may now be operated by pushing the handle (C) on the lockable gas strut while pulling down or pushing up the support arm (D) to the desired position.
IR3000 is not supplied with fitted a plug. There are three options: • Blue Industrial IP44 2pin + Earth plug • Have the unit hard-wired.

Important: If in any doubt, contact a competent electrician.

Lamp Replacement (fig.5). (The IR3000 is supplied with the lamps fitted, follow the procedure below when replacement lamps required) WARNING! Before examining or carrying out any maintenance ensure the heater has cooled down and is disconnected from the mains supply.
The lamp used in the fitting is robust and if knocks and shock vibrations are avoided, will last for around 5000 hours.
Isolate the complete unit from the power supply and then wait until the cassette body has cooled down.
Remove the two screws from the one end of the reflector plate and remove that end reflector plate with the guard by gripping the guard and carefully lifting outwards.
Remove the other end reflector plate by removing the two screws and carefully lifting out.
Carefully remove the lamp from the cassette and unclip the lamp terminal ends (both ends). If necessary , use two pairs of pliers to pull terminals apart. Do not pull apart using the cables as this may result in the wire coming away from the crimped terminals.
Replace with the new lamp making sure the lamp terminals are fully pushed together and insulated.
Re-assemble making sure all the parts are replaced and the guard is in position (see Fig.5 below). WARNING! Failure to reassemble all the parts and use the guard will invalidate any remaining guarantee and may make the unit dangerous.

WE RECOMMEND THAT A TEST PAINT PANEL IS USED FOR THE INITIAL OPERATION TO ALLOW THE OPERATOR TO FAMILIARISE THEMSELVES WITH THE SYSTEM.
General Applications Filler: Full power for about 5 minutes will achieve a hard sandable finish. Etch primer: Full power for approx. 5 minutes. Primer: For normal build of two coats use full power for about 8 min. High build primer: For a normal minimum of three coats we suggest 5 min FLASH then full power for a min of 10 min.
Top coats: Top coats vary depending on the paint finish and colour, dark colours tend to heat rapidly and should always be used with FLASH at just under half power- an average cure time is around 12min.

PLEASE ALWAYS REFER TO PAINT MANUFACTURER’S DRYING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPLICABLE DRYING TIMES Gas Strut Movement

These models are all fitted with lockable gas struts, to assist in the correct positioning of the cassette heads prior to any drying.
ALWAYS depress the lever before attempting to move the cassette support arm. When in position and the spring lever is released, the cassette assembly will be locked into place.
If the support arm is difficult to move or the arm moves downwards when the gas strut lever is depressed, a small adjustment may be required. (This may also become necessary after the machine has been in use for any length of time).
To make an adjustment, loosen the locking nut just above the lever – then turn the centre spindle of the gas strut half a turn in a clockwise rotation. This will adjust the pressure of the gas strut to improve operation.
The ideal setting for the strut is when the cassette arm moves neither up or down on its own when the lever is depressed.
If necessary the centre spindle can be adjusted in an anticlockwise direction to obtain the opposite pressure.
After adjustment, re-tighten the lock nut above the handle.

Dryer

If any cassette fails to operate when the unit is reprogrammed, first re-check all the switches on the main upright, as these may have been switched off during the previous program.

MAINTENANCE

To keep your dryer in good working order always keep the unit clean and stored in a dry place.
The reflectors should be kept clean at all times to ensure maximum heat reflection. Dirty reflectors will reduce the energy transmitted and seriously affect the recommended drying times.
