INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
HAND-HELD SHORT WAVE INFRARED
PANEL DRYER
MODEL No: IR1000
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.
A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an
RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and
1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections
to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used
and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK 3 pin plug
is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation
extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of
2.5mm² section cable.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1. Fit The Handle (FIG.1).
3.1.1. The IR1000 has been packed with a separate handle and lamp
ready for attachment and fitting to the heater. Please leave the
lamp in transit packing until ready to fit.
3.1.2. The handle should be attached to the main unit by means of the
bolt supplied, ensuring the spacer provided is fitted between the
two fixing posts of the heater. Please ensure the washer is
fitted under the nut, then fully tighten to secure.
3.1.3. When fitted, the pre-made hole in the grip of the handle should be
at the bottom of the heater. If correct you will be able to tilt the
body of the heater in a downward direction only.
3.2 Fit The Lamp (FIG.1).
3.2.1. Remove the two screws (17) from one end reflector (2), this will
release the guard (3) and expose one of the lamp terminal end
posts (18).
3.2.2. Now remove the other end reflector (2) exposing the other lamp
terminal (18).
3.2.3. Release the nuts (12) on the exposed terminal end posts just
enough to allow the fork terminals of the lamp leads to be pushed
under the washers (13).
3.2.4. Carefully remove the lamp (19) from its packing, holding it by the
porcelain end caps only, taking care not to handle the quartz
glass.
3.2.5. Carefully insert the end caps of the lamp under the spring
retaining clips (7 & 8) of the heater. The fork terminals on each
end of the lamp should now be inserted under the washer (13) of
the lamp end posts and nuts (12) tightened to make a good
connection.
3.2.6. The lamp leads should then be tucked away around the space at
each end of the heater.
3.2.7. Now replace the end reflectors (2) and guard (3) to complete the
assembly.

into approved containers and dispose of the product and the fluids according to local regulations.
WEEE Regulations
Dispose of this product at the end of its working life in compliance with the EU Directive on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). When the product is no longer required, it must be disposed
of in an environmentally protective way. Contact your local solid waste authority for recycling information.
Note: The IR lamp is fragile and therefore it is important that the IR1000 is not subjected to any unnecessary shocks or vibration and
is not moved when the lamp is on.
 WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1 before using the panel dryer.
4.1. Allow a 4-5 minute 'flash-off' period for excess solvent to evaporate before close positioning of dryer to panel - solvent boil or popping may occur
if the panel temperature is raised too rapidly. Remove or otherwise protect, any trim items on or adjacent to the panel to prevent possible
distortion.
4.2. Position the lamp approximately 500mm from the panel.
4.3. Paint to lamp distance and heating time are dependant on a number of factors including the paint type and workshop conditions and are best
based on experience. However rough guidelines are as follows:
