Specific Safety Considerations
Dymax ECE series flood-lamp systems are designed to maximize operator safety and minimize exposure to
UV light-curing energy. To use the systems safely, they must be set up and operated in accordance with
the instructions in this user guide. Dymax assumes no liability for any changes that may impair the
protections of the ECE flood-lamp curing system. Please also read and understand the safety
considerations unique to UV light-curing systems as described below.
WARNING! Looking directly at the UV light emitted by an ECE flood lamp can result in eye
injury. To prevent eye injury, never look directly at the high-intensity light and always wear
protective goggles (provided).
Dymax UV Light-Curing System Safety Considerations
Operators must understand these four concepts to use the UV light source safely:
UV exposure
High-temperature surfaces
Ozone
Bright, visible light
Each is described below.
UV Exposure
Standard Dymax UV light-curing systems and bulbs have been designed primarily to emit UVA light (Figure
1). UVA light is generally considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC. The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLVs)
for ultraviolet light.
The strictest interpretation of the TLV (over the UVA range) for workers’ eyes and skin allows continuous
exposure up to 1 mW/cm2(intensity). Unless you are placing bare hands into the curing area, it is unusual
to exceed these limits. To put 1 mW/cm2limit into perspective, a cloudless summer day will typically

6
Dymax ECE Series UV Flood-Lamp Systems User Guide
exceed 3 mW/cm2of UVA light, and also include the more dangerous UVB light (primarily responsible for
suntans, sun burns, and skin cancer) as well.
Figure 1. UV Spectrum
Checking the Workstation
The human eye cannot detect "pure" UV light, only visible light. A radiometer should be used to measure
stray UV light to confirm the safety of a UV light-curing process. A workstation that exposes an operator to
more than 1 mW/cm2of UVA continuously should be redesigned.
Protecting Operators
Light-curing technology can be a regulatory compliant, "worker-friendly" manufacturing process when the
proper safety equipment and operator training is utilized. There are two ways to protect operators from
UV exposure: shield the operator and/or shield the source.
UV-Blocking Eye Protection —UV-blocking eye protection is recommended when operating UV light-
curing systems. Both clear and tinted UV-blocking eye protection is available from Dymax.
UV-Blocking Skin Protection —Where the potential exists for UV exposure upon skin, opaque, UV-
blocking clothing, gloves, and full-face shields are recommended.
Shield the Source of UV
Any substrate that blocks UV light can be used as a shield to protect workers from stray UV light. The
following materials can be used to create simple shielding structures:
Rigid Plastic Film —Transparent or translucent/UV-blocking plastics (typically polycarbonate or acrylic)
are commonly used to create shielding where some level of transparency is also desired.
Flexible Film —Translucent UV-blocking, flexible urethane films can be used to quickly create
workstation shielding.
Ozone
Standard Dymax bulbs (UVA type) generate an insignificant amount of UVC and therefore essentially no
ozone. Some UV light-curing systems, like those used to cure UV inks, emit primarily “shortwave” (UVB
and UVC) energy. Upon exposure to UVC light (specifically <240 nm), oxygen molecules (O2) split into
oxygen atoms (O) and recombine with O2to create ozone O3.

7
Dymax ECE Series UV Flood-Lamp Systems User Guide
High-Temperature Surfaces
Surfaces exposed to high-intensity curing lights will rise in temperature. The intensity, distance, exposure
time, cooling fans, and the type/color of the surface can all affect the actual surface temperature. In some
cases, exposed surfaces can reach temperatures capable of producing a burn or causing damage to a
substrate. In these cases, care must be taken to ensure either a more moderate surface temperature or
appropriate protection/training for operators.
Bright, Visible Light
The bright, visible light emitted by some UV light-curing systems can be objectionable to some workers
and can cause eyestrain. Tinted eye protection and/or opaque/tinted shielding can be utilized to address
this concern.

Operation
Starting the ECE Flood Lamp
Turn the unit on by pressing on the Power Switch (Figure 14) on the Power Supply. The Power Switch will
light up to indicate that the power is on, the Fans will run, but the Flood Lamp will remain off. To light the
Lamp, press the Lamp Igniter/Fault Indicator Button (Figure 14) on the right side of the front panel. The
center of the button will illuminate green.
NOTE: While most lamps typically require less than 30 seconds to ignite, a new lamp may require extra
time.
Figure 14. Power Supply Front Panel
After the lamp has ignited, allow five minutes for the lamp to reach its maximum output intensity.
These UV flood lamps are designed for continuous operation.
Lamp life is reduced approximately one hour each time it is started. To avoid premature lamp
deterioration, leave the unit on through breaks, short shutdowns, and lunch hours.
NOTE: If the power is momentarily lost or the lamp is inadvertently shut off, or is shut off due to an over-
temperature condition, it must cool down before restarting. This may take 5-10 minutes depending on
ambient conditions. The Power Supply may be left energized while the lamp is cooling. An operator will
need to press the Igniter/Fault Indicator Button (Figure 14) to re-light the lamp when it has cooled
sufficiently.
Each time the lamp is turned on, it should operate for at least five minutes to allow complete ionization of
elements inside the lamp. Failure to do this may result in failure of the lamp to restart. Refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual for more information.
Loading Materials in the Light Shield
1. Once the ECE lamp is ready, check that the ECE ZIP Shutter is in the closed position, and load parts to
be cured on the Light Shield work surface (preferably in line with the center of the shutter).
NOTE: The ECE ZIP Shutter will close automatically and the lamp will shut off when the access door is
opened.
2. Estimate the height of the curing part in respect to its base, or to the base of the part holder (if the
object to be cured is not free standing), and then adjust the position of the work surface at a proper
distance from the curing part. Use a ruler for setting accuracy.

3. The tray can be adjusted from 1.5 in to 5.5 in [3.81 cm to 13.97 cm] down from the cover of the
enclosure. You can set this distance differently to optimize your throughput with respect to adhesive
properties and irradiant energy required to achieve the best curing quality in the shortest time.
Dymax Application Engineering is ready to assist you if needed.
4. Adjust the distance from the bottom plane of the ECE ZIP Shutter to the surface to be cured.
5. Close the Light Shield Door once the parts to be cured are loaded.
Operating the Shutter
1. With the Light Shield Door closed, set the exposure (ECE ZIP Shutter “Open Time") by adjusting +/- the
Push-Button Counter located next to the Actuate Button on the Front Panel.
2. Open the ECE ZIP Shutter using the most convenient method for you by using Push Actuator Button or
Foot Switch.
NOTE: The ECE ZIP Shutter will close automatically in timed mode or will stay open until you release
the Foot Switch or Actuator Button in manual mode.
3. Close the ECE ZIP Shutter to end the cycle.
Operational Safety Interlock for ECE Flood System
The safety interlock for the ECE Flood System operates to reduce the operational hazard of the unit. In
the event that the lamp is on and the shutter and light shield are also open, power to the lamp will turn
off and the Lamp Igniter Switch on the front of the Power Supply will change from GREEN (lamp is on and
operational) to RED (lamp is off and non-operational).

Bulb Replacement Procedure
Every new 400 watt ECE series UV light-curing flood lamp is supplied with a new bulb. When the bulb
requires replacement, the following procedure must be followed:

16
Dymax ECE Series UV Flood-Lamp Systems User Guide
Step 1. Turn the Power Switch off and disconnect the Power Supply from the electrical power source.
Allow the entire assembly to cool for 15 minutes.
CAUTION! The bulb operates at temperatures exceeding 500°C. Touching the Bulb before
sufficient cool down time is allowed will cause severe burns. Always wear safety eye wear while
replacing the bulb.
Always use a soft, clean rag, paper towel, or gloves when handling the bulb. Skin oils left on the
bulb will burn into the quartz, reducing output intensity. If the bulb is inadvertently touched, clean
the Bulb thoroughly with a soft, clean rag and IPA.
Step 2. Hold the Lamp/Reflector Assembly Housing securely and remove the Mounting Hardware from
the Lamp/Reflector Assembly Housing Bracket. Lift the housing off the ZIP Shutter and place it
upside down on a clean work surface.
Step 3. Reach into the Reflector and grasp the flat area of Bulb at either end (Figure 15). Lightly push the
Bulb toward the Socket on the opposite end of the lamp so that the end being grasped can be
lifted clear of the Socket (Figure 16). Install the new Bulb by following Steps 4 & 5 in the reverse
order.
IMPORTANT: Install the Bulb so the seal dimple on the bulge of the glass is facing towards
the Reflector surface. Avoid touching the Quartz Tube with your fingers.
NOTE: Bulb has no polarity.

ECE ZIP Shutter Curtain Assembly Replacement
Dymax recommends that you check the ECE ZIP Shutter curtain for wear each time you change the lamp.
If it shows any signs of wear, replace it. Additional curtain assembly replacements can be purchased
through Dymax Customer Service.
CAUTION! SHARP EDGES! The edge of the stainless steel curtain is extremely
sharp. To prevent injuries, always wear gloves that are resistant to cuts when handling or
installing equipment. We recommend, at a minimum, CE Cut Level 5 gloves (included with
kit).

2. After putting on the recommended cut-resistant gloves, remove the three Retaining Screws on each
side of the Lower Cover of the Shutter (Figure 23). Use the 2-mm Allen Wrench provided to do so.
