Safety
WARNING! If you use a Dymax shutter without first reading and understanding the
information in this user guide, injury can result from exposure to high-intensity light. To reduce
the risk of injury, read and ensure you understand the information in this user guide before
assembling and operating a Dymax shutter in a UV flood lamp system.
General Safety Considerations
All users of Dymax equipment should read and understand this user guide before assembling and using the
equipment.
To learn about the safe handling and use of light-curable formulations, obtain and read the MSDS for each
product. Dymax includes an MSDS with each adhesive sold. In addition, fluid product MSDS can be requested
through our website.

Dymax ECE ZIP™ Shutter User Guide
Specific Safety Considerations
Dymax shutters are designed to maximize operator safety and minimize exposure to UV light. To use the
shutter safely, it must be set up and operated in accordance with the instructions in this user guide. Please
also read and understand the following safety considerations.
WARNINGS! To prevent eye injury, always wear protective goggles when working near a UV
light-curing system.
Long-sleeved shirts or a lab coat are recommended to protect the arms and use of UV opaque
gloves will protect the hands from UV exposure.
Product Overview
Description of the ECE ZIP Shutter
Dymax shutters were developed as auxiliary devices to improve operator safety and to control the dose of
curing energy directed onto adhesives in a flood-lamp curing systems. The ECE ZIP Shutter is compatible with
Dymax ECE 2000 and ECE 5000 flood lamps. The shutter can be used as an integral part of the Dymax ECE light
shield.
Dymax flood lamps use a medium-pressure arc bulb as a source of curing energy. The bulb requires a few
minutes to warm up after ignition before it reaches a steady state and needs a few minutes to cool before
being able to re-ignite after being turned off. Repeatedly turning the power to the bulb off and on negatively
affects its lifetime. With a Dymax shutter installed, the flood lamp may stay on continuously. Objects needing
curing may be loaded and unloaded from underneath the shutter when it is closed without exposing parts or
operators to UV light. In addition, control of curing times can be achieved by timed shutter operation.
Dymax flood lamp systems are used for a wide variety of applications where a relatively large area of
illumination is needed. These applications may be cured using one of two types of systems: the first is with
continuous illumination in conveyorized curing systems where the dose is defined by the conveyor belt speed.
The second type uses a free-standing flood lamp where accurate timing is required. In the second type, the
shutter can ensure the proper dose.

System Components
Figure 1. ECE ZIP Shutter Component Diagram
Digital Potentiometer (Timer) (1) - The operator sets the shutter’s “open time”using the digital
potentiometer (timer) on the control panel. The shutter’s “open time” can be set from 1 to 99
seconds.
Actuate Button (2) - Depressing the actuate button activates the gear motor inside the shutter. The
unit can also be actuated by foot switch. The foot switch can be connected to the foot switch
connection (5) on top of the rear panel.
Mode Selector Rocker Switch (3) - There are two operation modes available: manual and timed.
The mode selector rocker switch is used to select the mode of operation.
Mounting Plates/Adapter Plates - The ZIP Shutter includes two mounting plates for various reflector
housings. The first has a clear aperture of 5" x 5" and should be used with the ECE 5000. The second
has a clear aperture of 8" x 8" for use with an ECE 2000. The ZIP Shutter has a clear aperture,
therefore there is no distraction of the light flow when the shutter is open.
Reflector Cable Connection (4) - The power (24V) to the ZIP Shutter comes directly from the flood
lamp’s power supply, which is connected through this receptacle on top of the shutter’s rear panel.
Belt Tension Adjustment Screw (6) - Used to tighten the curtain drive belt.
