Personal Safety
Safety 1-3
To prevent injury follow these instructions.
S On a daily basis the Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker and the combined
Isolator (at the connection box) should be tested.
S This is carried out by pressing the ’Test’ button while the
system is switched on -- the Isolator should switch off instantly.
WARNING: If the isolator or any indicator remains on, then it could indicate
that a SERIOUS fault is present on your system. Inform your electrician or
contact Nordson UV for advice immediately.
NOTE: To protect the Earth Leakage Sensor, this test function will only
work while the lamps are switched off.
WARNING: NEVER LOOK AT A LIGHTED LAMP
S ULTRA--VIOLET RADIATION IS HARMFUL TO EYES AND CAN
BE HARMFUL TO SKIN. ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE
PROTECTION WHEN USING THIS SYSTEM.
S THIS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO BE USED FOR HAND FED
OPERATION, SPECIAL UV SAFETY GLASSES & GLOVES MUST
BE WORN.
Suitable glasses (Part No. 7350033) and gloves (Part No. 7350657) are
supplied with the unit, additional pairs are available from Nordson UV.
S Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
S Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are
intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or
disarm any safety devices.
S Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing any
moving equipment, shut off the power supply and wait until the
equipment comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the
equipment to prevent unexpected movement. Wait 2 mins for the lamp
to cool down.
S If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical
equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until the problem
has been identified and corrected.
S Obtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials
used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use
of materials, and use recommended personal protection devices.
S To prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace
that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp
edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be
enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.

Safety
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
S Use only those inks and varnishes that cannot form explosive
atmospheres when heated by the lamp head (i.e. inks and varnishes
whose safety data sheets specify a flammable limit must not be used).
S Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable
materials are being used or stored.
S Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of
volatile materials or vapors. Refer to local codes or your material MSDS
for guidance.
S Do not disconnect live electrical circuits while working with flammable
materials. Shut off power at a disconnect switch first to prevent
sparking.
S Shut down all equipment immediately if you notice sparking or arcing.
Do not restart the equipment until the cause has been identified and
corrected.
S Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire
extinguishers are located. If a fire starts, immediately shut off the
system and exhaust fan.
S Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions
in your equipment documentation.
S Only use replacement parts that are designed for use with original
equipment. Contact your Nordson representative for parts information
and advice or refer to the spares list in this manual.

Equipment safety
Introduction
All equipment is designed and manufactured to Internationally Recognized
Safety Standards to ensure that the health and safety of the operator is
protected at all times. This is conditional to equipment being installed
correctly by qualified personnel and operating instructions are strictly
adhered to.
Everyone who is required to work with the drying equipment in any way, i.e.
Installers, Operators, Service Engineers etc., must be made familiar with
these safety instructions.
The equipment is designed for the accelerated drying of UV inks and
coatings. No attempt should be made to dry alternative materials unless
these have been cleared by the supplier for this drying technique.
This equipment is not designed for use in hazardous areas or hazardous
environments (i.e. it is not flameproof).
High temperatures
High voltage
UV reflector systems generally run at extremely high temperatures. It is
therefore necessary to check that any exposed parts which may be touched
by an operator or personnel are kept below a temperature of 60° C,
dependent on the material type.
If you find that any surface is above 60° C please contact the Nordson UV
service department.
The UV curing equipment works at high voltages. It is therefore essential
that should any fault develop, the operator is made aware that he should:
Switch the equipment off immediately, make no attempt to service the
equipment himself, but call a qualified electrician, trained to service this type
of equipment.
NOTE: This applies to the changing of lamps, where a possible lamp fault
has occurred.
Part 7119745C
MiniCure 08-07
E 2007 Nordson Corporation
Fire risk
With lamps running at up to 800 degrees Centigrade, there is always a risk
of fire should any paper or materials get jammed under or in the lamp
vicinity, or in the event of build-up of fluff, dirt or powder within the lamp
housing.
Should such a situation occur, the operator must:
WARNING: Switch off the equipment immediately. If a fire extinguisher is
to be used, make sure it is of a type which is suitable for use with electrical
equipment.
A suitable fire extinguisher should be available near the unit.
This equipment is fitted with high temperature lamps. It is not designed to
operate close to low flash point materials (solvents, etc.).
Safety precautions while servicing
Safety 1-9
Important Information
All electrical maintenance and servicing must be carried out by a qualified
engineer. It is preferable to call in Nordson UV for this servicing facility.
WARNING: This equipment operates at high voltage and is therefore
potentially dangerous. All precautions must be taken by the qualified
engineer in servicing this equipment. The equipment must be isolated at
the mains before opening any of the access covers.
In the event of your qualified engineer being unable to find fault with the
equipment, then Nordson UV Service should be called in.
Control S ystem Cleaning
It is essential that all contactors and relays are kept clean and free from dirt
and dust ingression. These should be checked regularly, particularly in
extremely dusty or powder-charged working rooms.
E 2007 Nordson Corporation
MiniCure 08-07
Part 7119745C
1-10
Safety
High Voltage C onnections
Careful checks should be kept on the lamp connections and high voltage
connections within the equipment to make sure that these do not become
dirty or coated with powder or other possible conducting material. They
should be cleaned regularly, at least whenever the lamp is changed,
possibly more often where a particularly heavily polluted atmosphere
occurs. Also, while changing the lamps, a careful check should be made of
the high voltage leads to make sure that no deterioration has occurred.
Dirty contacts may cause a potential hazard.
Lamphead Cleaning
The air inlets in the reflector head should be regularly checked, so that it is
ensured that they have not become blocked with dust or powder and that
the air passages are clear.
High Temperatures
It should be noted that the reflector head runs at very high temperatures
and the inside components become very hot during operation of the
machine and the equipment. Therefore, when maintaining the equipment, a
reasonable time should be allowed before access is attempted.
Alternatively, precautions should be taken.

Safety 1-11
NOTE: The subtrate collection tray on the outfeed of the unit forms part of
the UV shielding. If this tray is not fitted alternative shielding methods must
be provided for operator and bystander safety.
UV measurements in the infeed chamber at belt level are
2
20 Micro Watts/cm
. If gloves and glasses are not used, then exposure to
the UV should be limited to no more than 4 mins per day.
UV measurements in the delivery tray are between
0.8--1.0 Micro Watts/cm
2
.
U.V. Radiation
UV radiation is generated from UV lamps and can be harmful if operator
exposure exceeds recommended levels, (see U.V. Permissible Exposure
Levels in this section).
Radiation is in the wavelength bands A B and C. Exposure to UV radiation
can result in:
S Reddening of skin.
S Headaches
S Sore eyes
If any symptoms appear, investigations should be carried out.
Nordson UV can, on request, supply UV safety glasses -- Part No. 7350033
and gloves -- Part No. 7350657.
First Aid
On skin no treatment can immediately be made, however, soothing cream
can be applied to the affected area.
For exposure to eyes medical attention should be sought immediately.
