afety Information

LABELING NOTICE: Labels are affixed on all systems to inform the user of possible dangers. Regulations are stated in 21 CFR, Section

1040.20, and require that all products manufactured after September 8, 1986 which use sunlamps must display the following:

Ultraviolet radiation. Follow instructions. Avoid overexposure. As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause

DANGER

cancer. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONGTERM INJURY TO THE EYES. Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation. Consult physician before using sunlamp if you are using medications or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight. If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use of this product. Children, the elderly, or fair skinned people who always burn easily and either never tan or tan minimally should not use this equipment.

To use, lie down under canopy and pull down as far as adjustment will allow maintaining at least 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) between your body and canopy clear plastic panel and side tanner clear plastic panel, otherwise overexposure may occur. Minimum use distance elsewhere is touching the clear plastic panels. Do not use without clear plastic panels in place. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days during their first week of tanning. Never tan more than once a day. Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.

RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE TIMES IN MINUTES MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TIME IS 12 MINUTES

Skin Type:

I Sensitive Skin (Burns easily and severely and does not tan.) NOT RECOMMENDED FOR TANNING II Light (Burns easily and severely and tans minimally.) 2471012 III Normal (Burns moderately and tans average.) 3691212 IV Dark (Burns minimally, tans easily and above average.) 4 7 10 12 12

New lamps emit approximately 10% more ultraviolet radiation during the first 50 hours of operation. Recommended tanning times should therefore be reduced by approximately 10% during that period.

WARNING: • Read the instructions booklet before using this sunlamp product. • All persons in the room should wear protective eyewear when lamps are on. Recommended eyewear: provided eyeshields or equivalent eyewear as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20.Other types of eyewear may not provide adequate protection.

tions allergiques. Une exposition répétée peut causer le vieillissement prématuré de la peau et provoquer le cancer de la peau. PORTEZ DES LUNETTES PROTECTRICES: LE NON-RESPECT DE CETTE CONSIGNE DE SÉCURITÉ PEUT ENTRAÎNER DE GRAVES BRÛLURES OU DES LÉSIONS OCULAIRES À LONG TERME. Les médicaments ou les produits cosmétiques peuvent augmenter votre sensibilité au rayonnement ultraviolet. Consultez un médecin avant d’utiliser la lampe solaire si vous prenez des médicaments, si vous souffrez d’une maladie cutanée ou si vous croyez être particulièrement sensible aux rayons du soleil. Si vous ne bronzez pas au soleil, il est peu probable que vous bronzerez sous une lampe solaire. Les enfants, les personnes âgées et les personnes qui ont une peau claire qui brûle facilement, ne bronze jamais ou alors très peu, ne devraient pas utiliser cette lampe.

Étendez-vous sous la partie supérieure, puis abaissez celle-ci aussi bas que possible, en veillant cependant à conserver un espace d’au moins 3,5 pouces (8,9 centimètres) entre le corps et le panneau de plastique transparent de la partie supérieure et le panneau de plastique transparent de l’appareil de bronzage latérales, afin d’éviter une exposition excessive. Les autres parties du corps peuvent toucher les panneaux de plastique transparents. N’utilisez pas la lampe sans les panneaux de plastique transparents. La première semaine de bronzage, les personnes qui n’ont pas un hâle initial ne doivent pas se faire bronzer tous les jours. Ne vous faites jamais bronzer plus d’une fois par jour. Le bronzage commence normalement à apparaître après les premières séances : il atteint son apogée au bout d’environ quatre semaines. Les personnes qui ont déjà un teint hâlé peuvent commencer à des niveaux plus élevés, selon l’importance de leur hâle initial.

nstallation

Pre-Installation Planning

Before you begin to assemble your sunbed, you should observe the following considerations.

WARNING

Shock hazard. Disconnect power before

servicing.

• The SolarForce® 648 operates from a 220V AC power source. The unit should be wired to a dedicated circuit capable of providing 80 Amp service. This unit must be hardwired directly to a junction box. W ommend connection by a professional electrician.

• IMPORTANT! Voltage must be below 230V AC or may require a Buck Booster.

e rec-

CAUTION

Use of a voltage source above 230V AC may prevent proper operation of the sunbed and could cause damage and void the warranty.

CAUTION

Air from the room is used to cool the sunbed. Maximum ambient room temperature should be 80°F. Place your sunbed no closer than 6” from any wall. Make sure nothing obstructs the airflow into or out of the fan openings. A poorly ventilated room may cause the unit to become hot and cause discomfort to the user.

CAUTION

Proper assembly of your sunbed requires three people. Plan to have a couple of helpers assist you.

Remote Connections

Your sunbed incorporates advanced circuitry allowing it to connect and communicate with most remote control systems. If a remote system is to be used, first determine whether the remote system is a T-Max® System or a standard remote system operating with a control relay. The following pages outline many different remote connection scenarios. Find the scenario that best fits your application.

Three remote ports are located in the small black box on the rear access panel (see right); two RJ-22 (4-wire) ports and one RJ-11 (6-wire) port. A Remote Control Bypass plug is already installed in one of the RJ-22 remote control ports. Your sunbed will not operate without the Remote Control Bypass plug or a remote system connected.

Installation - Remote Connections

T-Max® Products

The T-Max® remote systems offer the ultimate in sunbed control, while allowing the tanner easy straightforward operation. Your sunbed is configured to directly connect to this system, including the new wireless remote system. The circuitry inside your sunbed eliminates the need for the T-Max® 1A or 3A when connecting to the T-Max® Manager series. Your sunbed supports the auto addressing feature of the latest T-Max® Manager models and the following parameters: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15 and

23. See your T-Max® manual for descriptions of these parameters and how they function.

CAUTION

The remote connection is not designed to supply or accept high voltage, nor can it provide power to an external timer. The sunbed’s remote interface circuitry operates on 5 volts, attempting to connect it to any higher voltages will damage the sunbed as well as void your warranty.

T-Max® Wireless Remote System

The T-Max® AP-900 eliminates wires in your salon, allowing easy setup without hiring an electrician to run wires. It also protects your investment from damage by isolating each unit from one another. Your sunbed arrives “wireless ready”, which means it connects directly to the T-Max® wireless system. Older tanning beds, and T-Max® managers, also utilize this system but require a T-Max “Power Injector” (PI) to provide the needed power to the wireless unit.

Remote System Hook-up Scenarios

Follow the diagrams on the next few pages to see the many different scenarios for hooking up your salon. If you need further assistance, call T-Max® directly at (417) 338-5101.

27971-01A

Page 29

Installation - Remote Connections

Scenario 1 - T-Max® Manager Series with Complete Wireless

Connect one AP-900 (with Power Injector) to the Manager and one AP-900 to each of the tanning beds. Install as many beds as you like with this configuration. Units that do not communicate with T-Max will need an AP-900 with Power Injector and an additional 3A to operate. If you have an older T-Max® Manager that doesn’t support auto addressing, set the address of each sunbed manually as described in Setting the address manually. You can place your sunbed at any location in the series.

Scenario 2 - T-Max 3A with Wireless

In single sunbed installations, the T-Max® 1A and 3A can offer the same control as the T-Max® Manager, eliminating the need for a Manager. If you’re using a 1A in this manner, it must labelled “master” installed on its circuit board. The remote control bypass plug must not

be used in this configuration. The 3A may be

used as a “master” with no modification.

have a chip

After you have set the T-Max® 1A’s, or 3A’s, address to “0” (refer to your T-Max® user’s guide) and the sunbed’s address to “1”, simply connect one AP-900 (with Power Injector) to the T-Max® 3A and one AP-900 to the tanning bed.

Scenario 3 - T-Max® Manager Series with Wireless combo

Connect one AP-900 (with Power Injector) to the Manager and one AP-900 to a wireless ready tanning bed. The rest of the salon may be “daisy-chained” together and connected to the wireless equipped tanning bed, eliminating the need to wire the Manager to the tanning beds.

27971-01A

NOTE: A T-Max® 1A with a

“master” chip can be substituted

for a 3A.

Page 30

Installation - Remote Connections

Scenario 4 - T-Max® Manager Series with Wireless combo 2

Wireless can be easily added to an existing salon already utilizing T-Max®. Connect one AP-900 (with Power Injector) to the Manager and one AP-900 to each wireless ready tanning bed. The rest of the salon may be “daisy-chained” together and connected to the Manager.

Scenario 5 - T-Max® Manager Series with wires

As always, this tanning bed is fully compatible with a wired T-Max® system. Simply connect the RJ-22 modular cable(s), described in the T-Max® Manager manual, into either of the smaller remote port(s) and follow the instructions that came with your remote system.

Scenario 6 - Single Bed wired to T-Max® 3A

In single sunbed installations, the T-Max® 1A and 3A can offer the same control as the T-Max® Manager, eliminating the need for a Manager. If you’re using a 1A in this manner, it must

have a

chip labelled “master” installed on its circuit board. The remote control bypass plug must not

be used in this configuration. The 3A may be used as a “master” with no modification.

After you have set the T-Max® 1A’s, or 3A’s, address to “0” (refer to your T-Max® user’s guide) and the sunbed’s address to “1”, simply connect the RJ-22 modular cables, described in the T-Max® user’s guide, directly into either of the smaller ports located on the back of th unit and either port on the back of the T-Max® 1A or 3A.

Scenario 7 - Non T-Max® Remote System wired to unit

Most non-T-Max® remote systems control the sunbed by the use of a relay. The relay operates the sunbed by connecting and disconnecting a pair of wires leading from the sunbed. Refer to the user’s manual provided with your remote system to determine if it operates in this way. To connect your sunbed to this type of system a remote interface kit is required. Contact your place of purchase to obtain the kit. The illustration below details a typical connection. Follow the instructions provided with the kit and from the remote’s manual to make the necessary connections.

Before You Tan

Before using your sunbed, please note the following important precautions.

• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, oils, or other body lotions prior to tanning except for those specifically made for use with tanning devices. However, do not remove natural body oils by bathing or showering immediately before tanning.

• Your hair should be free of gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair products prior to tanning. These products can cause damage to the sunbed acrylic. As an alternative, a shower cap or towel can be worn to keep treated hair away from the sunbed surfaces.

• This unit intended for individual use. Only one pair of eyewear is included.

DANGER

Some medication may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet light. It is recommended that you consult a physician before using this sunbed if taking any medication or if you suspect that your skin might be especially sensitive to sunlight.

DANGER

Shock hazard. Do not operate this device near

water or while you are wet.

Exposure Times

Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure times as shown in the table below. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days during their first week of tanning. Never tan more than once a day. Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.

are and Maintenance

Cleaning After Use

Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s bench and canopy after each use. Use a non-abrasive disinfectant cleaner that does

not contain ammonia or ammonia derivatives. Ammonia may damage the acrylic

shield. Spray the acrylic lightly with disinfectant and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. We recommend Australian Gold® pH Neutral Disinfectant Cleaner.

Thorough Periodic Cleaning

Introduction

The cooling fans draw air through the bed and over time will cause a dust buildup on the lamps and reflectors. This reduces the tanning effectiveness of the bed. When a dust buildup is observed, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the unit.

WARNING

Shock hazard. Disconnect power before removing

any protective covers.

Cleaning the Canopy and Bench

Step 1 Remove the acrylic shields and

lamps as described in Lamp and Acrylic Replacement.

Step 2 With a soft cloth, wipe the entire

length of each lamp.

Step 3 Clean both sides of the acrylic

shields with a non-ammonia disinfectant cleaner.

Step 4 Wipe the reflectors with a clean

damp cloth.

Step 5 Reinstall the lamps and acrylic

shields.

Step 6 Clean or replace air filters on top

of ballast drawer and in right pedestal (see Under the Bench).

Mechanical Inspection

Your tanning bed has been built for years of service. To ensure trouble-free operation throughout its life, inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours of use.

• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place.

• Inspect lift springs for signs of wear. Adjust for proper lift if needed. See

Under the Bench.

• Inspect the power cords and connections.

• Inspect the acrylics. Broken, cracked or badly scratched acrylics should be immediately replaced.

• Check damper operation. The damper limits the canopy’s movement speed. The damper looks like a gas spring attached to the left hinge arm. Replace if canopy raises and lowers too quickly.

Care and Maintenance - Lamp and Acrylic Replacement

Lamp and Acrylic Replacement

Introduction

To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps after approximately 400-500 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this time but at a slower rate.

This unit is equipped with electronic lamp starters.They last longer than traditional “glow tube” starters, light the lamps quicker, and reduce blackening on the ends of the lamps. It is no longer necessary to change lamp starters when changing lamps. As long as they function normally, meaning its lamp fires quickly and consistently, there is no need to change starters.

WARNING

Shock hazard. Disconnect power before removing

any protective covers.

To remove the Bench acrylic, lift the acrylic so the gas springs are fully extended. Each gas spring is held to the acrylic bracket with a locking pin. Unclip the pin and slide it out to disconnect the spring from the acrylic (see below). With the acrylic open lift it from the bench. Replace the acrylic by setting the hinge channel along its back edge in its slot at the rear of the bench and reconnecting the gas springs.

2. PULL OUT

Opening/Replacing Bench Acrylic

The Bench acrylic does not need to be removed to perform normal maintenance, such as cleaning and replacing lamps. Turn the quarter-turn latches on either side of the acrylic and lift the front edge. Two gas springs hold it open.

27971-01A

1. FLIP UP

Page 38

Care and Maintenance - Lamp and Acrylic Replacement

Opening/Replacing Rear Acrylic

The Rear acrylic is secured by four quarter-turn latches. Using the 6mm hex wrench, turn each latch 90° to unlock it. Lift the acrylic out of its channel. Replace it by setting it in its channel and locking the latches.

Opening/Replacing Canopy Acrylic

The canopy acrylic is secured by four quarter-turn latches along its front edge. While supporting the front of the acrylic, use the 6mm hex wrench to unlock the latches. The acrylic will swing down and rest on the bench.

Removing the acrylic requires two people, one on either end. With it open, lift the front as you gently pull forward and the acrylic hinge will pull out of the channel along the back edge. Replace it by reversing the above directions.

Opening Shoulder Tanner Cover

Turn the quarter-turn latch in the center of the shoulder tanner cover. Pry the top forward while pulling upward to remove the cover. Replace it by sliding the bottom down and pressing the top closed. Turn the latch to lock.

Removing/Replacing Lamps

After opening the acrylic shield, replace main lamps as follows.

Step 1 Grasp the lamp at one end and

at the middle and turn the lamp one quarter turn. Gently remove the lamp from its holders.

Step 2 Reinstall the lamp by inserting

the pins located on the ends of the lamp into the slots on top of the lamp holders and turn the lamp a quarter turn. It should click in place.

Removing/Replacing Shoulder Lamps

Remove the shoulder tanner cover. Grasp a lamp at its base, NOT by the lamp glass. Pull the lamp straight out of its holder. Install the lamp by lining up the pins on the base of the lamp with the holes in the lamp holder and press into place.

27971-01A

Page 39

Care and Maintenance - Lamp and Acrylic Replacement

Removing/Replacing Decorative Lamp

Open the bench acrylic. The decorative lamp is located along the front edge of the bench, tucked inside the aluminum extrusion. Remove two or three bench lamps to allow access to the decorative lamp.

Replace the lamp, as you would the main lamps, with a red 48” T8 32W fluorescent lamp.

Recommended Replacement Lamps

We recommend using the lamps specified below. Use of uncertified lamps is a violation of Federal regulations and will void your warranty. These lamps have an average life of 400-500 hours of effective tanning use. Lamps used longer than that begin to lose their effectiveness even though they continue to light.

Recommended Replacement Acrylics

Acrylics vary greatly over time in their ability to effectively transmit UV light. Acrylics sold by ETS have been life tested to ensure proper transmission throughout their useful life.

ONLY THE FOLLOWING LAMPS HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED FOR USE IN THE SOLARFORCE 648:

BRONZING SUN™ HPK90 Wolff® Model BSHPK90 71-T12-180W VS-R Heraeus E400 HPT, Philips Model HPA 400/30s or CosmoTech Model 23045 MARQUIS, Wolff System® Model CF26W (shoulder unit)

Care and Maintenance - Lamp and Acrylic Replacement

Removing/Replacing Face Tanner Lamps

After opening the canopy acrylic, replace the face tanner lamps as follows:

Step 1 Support the face tanner assembly

with your hand while unscrewing the two retaining screws. The face tanner glass casing will swing downward.

Step 2 The lamp can now be

exchanged. The lamp holders are equipped with spring contacts which enable the lamp to be removed easily. Remove the old lamp and discard. Install the new lamp, using a clean cloth or paper towel. Ensure that the lamp is firmly seated in the lamp holders.

Note! Never take hold of the lamp such that your fingers are in contact with the lamp glass. Finger oils will greatly reduce the lamp’s operational life.

Step 3 Gently close the face tanner

glass casing and lock it closed with the screws. Ensure that the screws firmly secure the glass casing.

DANGER

Unfiltered light from face tanner can cause severe burns. Never turn sunbed on while face tanner is disassembled or when glass filters are removed. Immediately discontinue use of this equipment if face tanner glass is broken or any unfiltered light can be seen escaping face tanner assembly.

Care and Maintenance - Under the Bench

Under the Bench

Lift the bench acrylic (see Lamp and Acrylic Replacement). The front access

panel is held in place by four Phillips head screws. Remove the access panel.

Canopy Lift Adjustment

Your sunbed uses a smooth gliding spring lift system to raise the canopy. Periodically this lift system may need to be adjusted slightly. Use a 7/8” wrench (or ratchet wrench) to turn the hex shaped Lift Adjustment lugs (shown below), clockwise for more lift and counterclockwise for less. When adjusted properly, the canopy should raise easily as well as rest fully closed. Alw equally

ays adjust both lugs

Air Filter Replacement

The bench contains three air filters, one on top of the ballast drawer and two inside the right pedestal. The filter on top of the ballast drawer simply sits on the drawer and is held in place by airflow when the unit is running. Replace with a standard 10” x 24” x 1” furnace filter. The airflow indicator should point down.

Thumb screws secure an access plate onto the right pedestal. Using your fingers, loosen the screws to remove this plate. Behind it are two air filters. Pull them straight out. Replace with standard 12” x 18” x 1” furnace filters. The airflow arrows should point toward the head end.
