HEDSON IRT UV SmartCure Curing Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical equipment, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using IRT UV Smart Cure

WARNING!

UV radiation can cause personal injury and property damage! UV emitted from this product. Skin or eye injury may occur. Avoid exposure of eyes and skin to unshielded lamp

Summary of results from RISE, Research Institutes of Sweden AB

Depending on the distance from the UV curing device, the limit value according to AFS 2009:7 index b. (UVA eye) for one working day (8 h) is reached after one or a few minutes at close distances (0.5–1 m). At longer distances than about 5 m, the acceptable exposure time is an hour or more. The acceptable exposure times according to index a. in AFS 2009:7 (UVA, UVB and UVC, skin and eye) are more than 50 times longer than for index b. (UVA eye)

To reduce risk of injury or property damage from UV radiation, read, understand, and follow the following safety instructions. In addition, make certain that anyone else that uses this curing equipment follows these safety instructions as well.

• Always wear eye protection. Failure to this may result
  in long term injury to the eyes.

• Wear protective clothing. Hands, face and other parts of the body shall not be exposed to heat and radiation. Do not stay in front of the lamp cassettes during curing without safety equipment.

• If a person works around UV radiation while on medications, the medication should be checked to see if it would make the person more photosensitive.

• Do not look directly at the light source.

•  Professional commercial indoor use in a dedicated, isolated, or restricted area, accessed only by qualified professional operators.

• These products are intended only for use in a restricted access area, or an area which incorporates suitable site protection to prevent unintended exposure of untrained or unqualified persons to ultraviolet radiation. It is the responsibility of the designated parties at the final installation site to confirm that proper installation, training, and control means have been implemented.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury

• Do not allow to be used as a toy.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Do not use the battery charger with damaged cord or plug. If equipment is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

• Do not pull or carry the battery charger by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug the battery charger by pulling on cord. To
  unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or equipment with wet hands.

• Do not store, prepare or use solvent-containing materials within a 5 m/16 feet radius of the curing device.

• Flammable materials should not be placed close to a curing device in use.

• Never direct the curing device towards highly combustible materials.

• The curing device must not be exposed to paint fog, sanding dust or solvents due to fire and explosion risk. Furthermore, the lifetime of the appliance will also be reduced.

• The battery charger is operated by highly dangerous
  electrical voltage.

• This product should only be used with the glass intact.

• As appropriate measures; always wear eye protection during work in areas exposed to UV radiation and always work in a well-ventilated environment

• The curing device user must adhere to these operating instructions. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental 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.

• Do not use in wet or moisture conditions.

• Do not disassemble the battery.

• Use IRT UV Smart Cure only with original battery.

• In damaged or leaking battery, dangerous vapors may occur. Get fresh air. In case of inconvenience, get medical advice.

• Protect battery terminals against conductive subjects to prevent short circuit.

• Protect battery from high temperature.

• Use the battery only with IRT UV Smart Cure to prevent overload.

• Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision.

• These products are intended to be operated only in the presence of qualified professional operators who have been trained on mandatory operation procedures for proper use of the equipment.

 Introduction

Intended use of the product

This product serves exclusively to accelerate the curing of UV-putty, filler, base and clear coats. The product must not be used for other purposes than the described curing processes. The maximum ambient temperature during operation should not exceed 40°C. The UV LED equipment is available in wavelengths 365 and 395 nm. Do not use the product in spray booths or within a distance of 5 m from other solvent based spraying activities in order to avoid explosion risks. Its site of use is the preparation area and finishing area. Within the automotive industry and vehicle repair sectors, it is used to cure small areas before polishing.

UV curing

The ultraviolet light spectrum generated by a UV LED interacts with special coating chemistries to produce a high-quality, durable curing. In many applications, UV curing can achieve a faster curing and therefore also at a lower total cost. As the UV coat contains less solvent than conventional paint, the IRT UV Smart Cure has less environmentally iMac

As LED have a narrow wavelength band, it is important to find the optimal wavelength for each UV putty, filler, base- and clear coat. IRT offers UV LED equipment in wavelengths 365 and 395 nm. Please read data sheets and discuss with the paint suppliers which wavelength is suitable for your particular product.

Most importantly to achieve a good and fast curing result there must be enough UV-A intensity. IRT UV radiation has an outstanding intensity to achieve the best curing resul

Unique benefits of UV cured coating

• Reduced amount of solvent
• Fast curing time
• Low-temperature processing
• Scratch resistant and chemical resistant
