Introduction

The Model 4069P ProfileIR curing System uses high intensity infrared lamps and polished
aluminum reflectors to deliver heat precisely where it is needed for many curing and
drying applications on extrusion lines. It can be used effectively to provide a surface cure
to rubber extrusions, dry adhesives and coatings on rubber or metal, and provide in process
curing between layers of multi layer cable. Depending on the model selected, diameters as
small as ¼ inch or a large as 4 inches can be processed. This system includes, along with
the Model 4069 ChamberIR heater, an operator interface pedestal with a PanelView 400+
terminal, a split quartz liner, height adjustment with plus/minus 15 degrees of tilt off
horizontal, and convenient connection points for power, water and air. Optional features
that can be ordered with the unit include an optical pyrometer to monitor product
temperature, product motion sensing to shut power down if the line brakes, and an air
nozzle kit to provide forced air inside the heating chamber to increase efficiencies in
curing and drying.
The single chamber models are an efficient solution for most applications and the dual
chamber models provide additional product support to allow fragile product to run through
the system without breaking or drooping

Typical applications for the Model 4069P include:

Surface cure on rubber extrusion
Drying adhesives and coatings on rubber or metal
Soften and Cure between multi-layer extrusions
Cast and hold the shape extrusion
Flash cure coatings between operations

Heater Module –A circular array of individual parabolic polished aluminum reflectors
direct the infrared energy generated by the quartz lamps towards the center axis of the
heater. Each heater houses either 12 or 18 reflectors, depending on the model. The 12
reflector model accepts product sizes up to 2 inches in diameter while the 18 reflector
model accepts products up to 4 inches in diameter. Heated lengths of 10, 16, 25, and 38
inches (254, 406, 635, and 965 mm) are offered for the Model 4069P. For applications
prone to product sagging a dual heater system with two 10” heated length chambers and an
intermediate product support between them is available. The chamber’s clamshell design
offers easy access for liner cleaning and lamp servicing by simply releasing the latches on
the front of the chamber and lifting the upper half. Gas springs are provided to assist with
the left gas spring having an integral extension lock. The factory installed ceramic end
seal T3 style lamps provide precise levels of power to the product in the chamber. The
lamps generate infrared energy at a peak wavelength of 1.2 microns at rated voltage. This
wavelength is commonly known as short wavelength or NIR, (Near Infrared). The lamps
reach 90% of full operating temperature within three seconds of a cold start. Radiant
energy is dissipated to 10% five seconds after power is shut down. Additional lamps can
be ordered separately from the heater.

Standard
Features

Optional
Features

Heater Positioning – The chamber is mounted to lifts at each end allowing for variations

on product elevation. Each lift can operate independently allowing for up to 15° off
chamber tilt. This can be useful when product sagging is occurring.

Water Cooling – Each reflector is designed with an internal coolant passageway to allow
coolant to flow through its entire length during operation. Water lines run from the fittings
on the base of the cart to the heater. Adequate cooling water is required during operation
of the Model 4069E. Required cooling-water flow rates are listed in Specifications.

Air Cooling – A cooling fan is designed into the Model 4069 housing and provides
ambient airflow through the heater body. This airflow helps to prevent air-borne
contamination from depositing on the reflector surfaces. It also provides cooling to the
quartz halogen lamp end seals.

Split Quartz Liner – A split quartz liner is included with the Model 4069 and provides
contamination protection for the aluminum reflectors. When installed in the heater, the
quartz liner protects the aluminum reflector and lamp from contaminants released in the
heating process, resulting in maximum efficiency of the heater.

Operator Interface – The operator interface includes a PanelView 400+ terminal for
controlling the system; lift control switches and a fast stop.

Power Control Cabinet − A NEMA 12 cabinet containing components to accurately
control power to the system.

Product Motion Detection – An optional low torque roller providing rotational feedback
can be positioned at either end of the chamber to signal product stoppage. If no signal is
detected the system will shut down power to the chamber thus reducing the incidence of
the product burning in the chamber. When motion is restored, the lamp voltage will be re­applied to the previous value.

Air Curing Nozzles – Optional twin air curing nozzles can be attached to the input end of
the heater. These nozzles force air down the length of the quartz liner and provide a
convective component to the curing process. This option includes a fitting for house air, a
filter and regulator in addition to the nozzles.

Exhaust Hood – An optional exhaust hood attaches to the exit end of the single chamber
system or between chambers on a dual chamber system to collect smoke and gasses given
off during heating the process. 3 inch diameter is used all 12R units and a 4” diameter is
used on all 18R units.

Pyrometer – The optional pyrometer is useful for monitoring product temperature in
sensitive areas. The mounting bracket provides multiple sensing positions for full product
coverage. This option includes a fitting for house air, a filter and regulator in addition to
the pyrometer.

Booster Pump – An optional booster pump is available when plant water pressure is too
low to provide adequate flow rate for proper cooling of the chamber. Pump will raise the
water pressure up-to 50 PSI

The Model 4069P heater is designed for safe operation. Nevertheless, installation,
maintenance, and operation of the heater can be dangerous for a careless operator or
maintenance person. For your safety and the safety of others, read the instructions in this
instruction manual and follow these safety practices to help prevent accident or injury.

INFRARED RADIATION - CAUTION!

intensity infrared radiation at close proximity could be harmful to eyes or skin. Although
infrared lamps emit negligible ultra violet electromagnetic radiation, harmful burns can
still result if an operator is in close contact with lamps being operated at high intensity.

Because of the brilliant light emitted by infrared lamps at full intensity, it is recommended
that eyes be shielded from the glare if observing the lamps for an extended period of time.
Use suitable shaded lenses or dark glasses.

A latching shock is installed on the left side of the model 4069 heater. The latch will
prevent the heater from closing should the gas strut fail. When closing the heater pull the
knob to release the latch while closing. Failure to release latch can cause damage to the
heater if forced closed.

Parts of the heater may exceed 500°F (260°C). Contact with the lamps, reflector, or metal
parts near the lamps may cause severe burns.

WARNING!

NEVER place hands under or in front of the heating elements.
ALWAYS allow heating element to cool at least three minutes before touching the lamps
or adjacent parts.

There is danger of electrical shock when servicing the heater.

CAUTION! Observe all applicable local and national electrical codes and ensure that

a safe electrical ground system is installed before attempting to operate the heater. Refer
to the Section 5 for proper installation procedures.

WARNING!

ALWAYS disconnect the external power lines prior to servicing the heater.
ALWAYS disconnect the power lines AND any optional interlock circuits before
installing or changing lamps.
NEVER operate the heater with end covers removed.

This feature provides for remote process interlock of the heater power. This is
accomplished by setting the heater power levels to 0 when switch is open and will
resume power levels when switch is closed. With the interlock open, the heater
cannot be turned on from the control system front panel. The switch contacts (dry)
must be open during the heater off condition. If this feature is desired, connect using
the following procedure:

1. Remove the factory-installed jumper at terminal block 1TB pins 20 and 21.

2. Connect the contacts of the switch to terminal block 1TB pins 20 and 21.

If more than one interlock switch is used in a system, wire the contacts in series and
then connect to the system.

This feature provides for remote process fast stop shutd o w n of the heater po wer,
water and fan cooling. This is accomplished by opening the heater power controller
contactor. With the fast stop switch open, the heater cannot be turned on from the
control system front panel. The switch contacts (dry) must be open during the heater
off condition. If this feature is desired, connect using the following procedure:

3. Remove the factory-installed jumper at terminal block 1TB pins 22 and 23.

4. Connect the contacts of the switch to terminal block 1TB pins 22 and 23.

If more than remote fast stop switch is used in a system, wire the contacts in series
and then connect to the system.

Use male 3/8” NPT fittings to connect the water input and output ports. See
Specifications for required flow rates.

ALARMS
SCREEN

The ALARMS screen displays the status of each of the alarms. The
dashed line (-----) indicates no alarm. Alarms are of one of two types,
either a Critical or a Minor alarm. A Critical alarm will turn the
system to off, dropping out the heater contactor. It is due to an
abnormal condition that could damage equipment or harm personnel.
A Minor alarm puts the system in a waiting state where the power level
to the heaters is changed to 0%; once the condition has cleared the
power level returns to the pre-alarm level.

OVER TEMPERATURE The Over Temperature alarm is a Critical
alarm. A thermostat inside the 4069 Chamber heater monitors the
reflector temperature, when the preset value is exceeded the system
alarms and shuts down.

COOLANT FLOW The Coolant Flow alarm is a Critical alarm. A
flow switch on the system monitors the coolant flow through the 4069
Chamber heater. If it does not meet a minimum value or .25
gallon/minute (gpm) it will alarm and shut the system down. Note: A
flow rate of .25 gpm is significantly less than the heater requirement of

1.2 to 6.2 gpm depending on the heater. Inadequate coolant flow can
be a cause for the Over Temperature alarm.

REMOTE INTERLOCK The Remote Interlock alarm is a Minor

alarm. This is a customer driven feature that can be used to signal a
line stoppage or any occurrence where the heaters should be
temporarily turned off. The opening of a dry contact is required to trip
this alarm, a jumper is installed from the factory to bypass this alarm
until it is hooked up. See the schematic for the location to make the
connection.

FAST STOP The Fast Stop Alarm is a Critical alarm. It is typically
used in an emergency, where the heat needs to be turned off in a hurry.
The Fast Stop can be initiated from the operator panel (the red
mushroom switch) or it can be wired into the production line. The
opening of a dry contact is required to trip this alarm, a jumper is
installed from the factory to bypass this alarm until it is hooked up.
See the schematic for the location to make the connection.

HEATER OPEN The Heater Open alarm is a Critical alarm. If
opened while running a very intense light would be directed at the

ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE

LAMP REMOVAL,
REPLACEMENT,
INSTALLATION:

Trouble Shooting

The following bi-monthly routine maintenance is suggested:

1. Remove power connection to the system. Lock out power if possible. Carefully

vacuum any dust or dirt collecting within the enclosure. Use caution to not
disturb the wiring. Service more often in dust locations.

2. Clean the outside of the enclosure with glass cleaner and a soft cotton cloth as

necessary.

The T3-style lamps are installed into the Model 4069 when shipped from the factory.
The following procedure details the process to replace the lamps in the Model 4069
(reference Figure 6, 7, & 8):

Note:
Remove all power from the heater BEFORE attempting to install/replace the lamps.
Allow a minimum of ½-inch (12 mm) of slack in the lamp leads so that the leads are
not taut when inserted into the lamp terminal blocks.
Always take care to handle all lamps by the ceramic end seals and use clean cotton or
latex gloves to prevent contamination of the quartz lamp envelopes.

1. Re move quartz liner (see next section). Take this opportunity to clean the

liner.

2. Remove end-cover screws (4 per end cover).

3. Remove end covers on both ends of the heater.

4. Remove end-reflector screws (2 per reflector)

5. Remove end reflectors on both ends.

6. Carefully disengage lamp from clips (both ends).

7. Slide the end of the lamp through the rectangular cutout in the end casting

on one end of the heater through the rectangular cutout in the end casting of
the other end of the heater.

8. Position the lamp over the lamp clips so that the lighted portion of the lamp

is equally space in the reflector.

Note: Be sure that the Gas Fill Tip is facing away from the reflector

9. While holding the lamp on both ends by the ceramic end seals, with light

pressure push the lamp into the lamp clips. A slight twisting motion of the
lamp, while pushing the lamp into the clip, helps the lamp to seat properly.

10. Cut wire to a length allowing for a service loop.

11. Strip back the insulation on the end of the lamp leads approximately 1-1/2

inches (38 mm).

12. Insert the bare wire of each insulated lamp lead into the ceramic terminal

block position that previously held the old lamp. Push each lead wire into
the terminal block far enough so, that when tightened, the setscrew will hold
the lead securely.

13. Tighten the setscrews in each terminal block so the lead wires are held

securely (1.0 Ft.-Lbs. [1.4 N-m]).

14. Form a loop within each lead along its length. This loop will act as a strain

relief within the lead during normal operation of the heater.

15. Reinstall the end reflectors, end covers, and quartz liner.

Note:
Remove all power from the heater BEFORE attempting to install/replace the lamps.
Always use clean cotton or latex gloves when handling the split quartz liner so as not
to deposit any oils or grease from your hands onto the surface of the split quartz
liner.

CLEANING THE
REFLECTORS

Figure 9

Clean reflectors provide the greatest radiant efficiency. If the reflector surface
becomes contaminated, it reflects less energy. The energy that is not reflected is lost,
absorbed by the reflectors, and removed by the cooling water and air.

The following procedure should be used to clean the Model 4069 reflectors:

If necessary, the reflectors may require re-polishing. This is permissible because the
reflector is solid aluminum and can be re-polished many times without damage from
continued erosion. A fine particle polishing compound, such as a chrome, semi­chrome, or soft metal polishing compound may be used. These types of compounds
can be found at a local automotive or metal-polishing supply house. Follow the
polishing instructions listed on the polishing product.

5. If cleaning the liner, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner (i.e. household

ammonia and water or isopropyl alcohol) and a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
After cleaning, do not touch the outside surface of the liner unless wearing
cotton gloves.

6. Rein sert the edges of the liner into the grooves of the quartz-liner bracket.

7. Reinstall the other bracket and secure with the two bracket screws.

8. Rep eat this process for the other half of the liner.

1. Remove the lamps and quartz liner as described in Lamp

Removal/Replacement/Installation and Split Quartz Liner Cleaning and
Replacement.

2. Clean the reflectors with a mixture of warm water and common household

ammonia followed by a thorough wipe-down using a clean, water-dampened
flannel cloth.

3. D epending on the type of contamination present on the reflector, a suitable

solvent may be required to remove the contamination. The solvent must be
selected based on its inability to adversely affect the aluminum reflector.

4. Thoroughly wipe the reflector using the warm water/household ammonia

mixture followed by the dampened flannel cloth.

5.

Replace the lamps and quartz liner, as outlined in Lamp
Removal/Replacement/Installation and Section Split Quartz Lin e r Cleaning
and Replacement.
