5. Operating Instructions
The MFUZOP DT-KQD-3000 utilizes short-wave infrared heating technology for efficient paint curing.
- Positioning: Position the lamp to ensure the target area (baking area of 120x100cm) is evenly covered. The rotating lampshade and adjustable metal tube structure allow for flexible positioning.
- Power On: Once securely mounted and properly wired by a qualified electrician, turn on the power supply to the lamp. The infrared tubes will immediately begin to heat.
- Temperature Control: The lamp operates within a baking temperature range of 40°C to 100°C. Monitor the surface temperature of the painted area to achieve optimal curing without overheating.
- Curing Process: Short-wave infrared heats the paint layer from the inside out, promoting high gloss and strong coating adhesion. This technology helps reduce wrinkles and tears in the paint finish.
- Power Off: After the curing process is complete, turn off the power supply to the lamp.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your infrared curing lamp.
- Cleaning: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the reflectors and lamp housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Bulb Replacement: The infrared tubes have a usage life of 6000-8500 hours. When a tube fails, replace it with an identical type and wattage. Always disconnect power before attempting bulb replacement.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all electrical connections, wiring, and structural components for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues immediately.
- Storage: Store the lamp in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
