4. Assembly and Setup
Follow these steps to assemble your DATOUBOSS Infrared Paint Curing Lamp:
Image 4.1: Assembly Steps Overview
This image illustrates the four main assembly steps: installing the base, attaching the connection board, connecting the bracket, and adjusting the height of the lamp.
- Install the Base: Manually remove the nut from the telescopic support. Align the two holes on the base with the corresponding bolts on the support and insert them. Then, tighten the nut securely.
- Install the Connection Board: Align the internal thread through the holes on the connection plate with the holes on both sides of the lamp unit's mounting plate. Tighten the nuts to ensure the connecting plate is perpendicular to the mounting plate.
- Connect the Bracket: Remove the rotating nut on the top of the telescopic support bracket. Align the hole in the middle of the connection plate with the bracket and tighten the nut firmly.
- Adjust the Height: Utilize the two rotating devices on the bracket to freely expand and contract the telescopic support, achieving the desired working height.
4.1 Height Adjustment
The telescopic support allows for flexible height adjustment to suit different work requirements. The maximum height is approximately 152 cm (59.8 inches), and it can be lowered to about 65 cm (25.5 inches).

This diagram illustrates the lamp's adjustable height capabilities, showing positions at 152cm (59.8in), 107cm (42.1in), and 65cm (25.5in).
5. Operation
5.1 Power On and Timer Setting
Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet. The lamp features a timer function to control the curing duration.
Image 5.1: Timer Knob
This image shows the timer knob, which allows you to set the desired drying time for your application.
- Rotate the timer knob to set the desired curing time, ranging from 1 to 90 minutes.
- The lamp will automatically shut off once the set time has elapsed.
5.2 Adjusting Working Angle
The lamp head can be manually adjusted to direct heat precisely where needed.
Image 5.2: Manually Adjustable Working Angle
This image demonstrates how the lamp head can be manually adjusted up to 270 degrees, allowing for flexible positioning and precise heat application.
- Loosen the adjustment knob or bolt on the side of the lamp unit.
- Carefully tilt the lamp head to the desired angle (up to 270 degrees).
- Tighten the knob or bolt to secure the lamp head in position.
5.3 Operating Modes: Handheld & Stand
The lamp can be used either mounted on its stand or as a handheld unit for greater flexibility.
Image 5.3: Handheld and Stand Operation
This image illustrates the two primary modes of operation: mounted on the adjustable stand for stationary use, and detached for handheld applications, offering versatility.
- Stand Mode: Assemble the lamp unit onto the telescopic stand as described in Section 4. This mode is ideal for larger areas or when hands-free operation is required.
- Handheld Mode: Detach the lamp unit from the stand and use the integrated handle for precise, localized curing. Exercise extreme caution due to high heat output.
5.4 Principle of Shortwave Infrared Curing
The DATOUBOSS lamp utilizes shortwave infrared technology, which offers superior penetration and faster drying times compared to traditional methods.
Image 5.4: Infrared Curing Principle
This diagram illustrates the superior penetration of shortwave infrared compared to mid-wave and far-wave, leading to significantly reduced drying times (e.g., 15 minutes vs. 45 minutes for traditional drying). It also shows how shortwave infrared penetrates through the topcoat and primer to the sheet metal, curing from the inside out.
- Shortwave infrared radiation penetrates paint layers (topcoat, middle paint, primer) directly to the substrate (sheet metal).
- This internal heating process dries the paint from the inside out, preventing surface skinning and bubble formation.
- Results in faster curing times and a more durable, high-quality finish.
5.5 Applications
The DATOUBOSS Infrared Paint Curing Lamp is suitable for a wide range of applications:
