CAUTION: Radio Interference Fusion lamps operate at a fundamental frequency of 2.45 GHz. The unit may cause interference with some local area networks (LANs) that also operate at this frequency.
UV sensitive inks and coatings, causes virtually instantaneous curing (drying) of the exposed materials. The unique properties of the Fusion UV Lamp System are obtained by using microwave radiation to energize the lamp. Microwave energy at 2450 MHZ is generated by a power tube (magnetron) of the type widely available for commercial microwave cooking ovens.

Figure 1. F300S/F300SQ Lamp System The F300S/F300SQ Fusion UV Lamp System (Figure 1) is modular, consisting of independent 6-inch (15.2 cm) lamp units and corresponding modular power supplies. Two lamps can be placed end-to-end to form a 12-inch (30.5 cm) lamp system or can be placed in a continuous array to form lamps of 18-inch (45.7 cm), etc.
• An RF detector cable H790 • An RF-1 detector In addition, the user must supply the following if not provided by Fusion UV Systems: • Cooling for the irradiator, if no modular blower is provided. (See Appendix A, “Specifications”...
Cooling Proper operation of the lamp requires adequate cooling of the magnetron and the bulb. (See Appendix C, page 129, for irradiator cooling requirements.) Cooling air from a blower goes through the magnetron cooling fins and into the lamp housing. At this point, the airflow splits into two paths: one path exhausts through the irradiator housing vent holes, and the rest of the air flows into the cavity through cooling holes in the reflector.
The following table lists the various irradiator models manufactured by Fusion UV Systems, and describes their high-level differences. Table 2. Irradiator Models Irradiator Model Photoresistor Assembly RF Gasket Air Delivery I300M Direct View Standard Front Connect Plenum I301M Direct View...
Mounting The lamps can be mounted over a moving substrate or web, supported by the bottom rails. The lamps should be mounted so that the rails sit 53 mm (2.1") above the surface to be cured. This allows the elliptical reflector to focus the most intense strip of light very near the substrate.
The purchaser will be charged for the representative’s time and expense. The two consumable items in a Fusion UV lamp system are the lamp bulb and the microwave power tube (magnetron). The special warranties on these components are detailed on the sales contract.
No person, agent, representative, or distributor is authorized to give any warranties on behalf of Fusion UV Systems, or to accept for Fusion UV Systems any other liability in connection with any of Fusion UV Systems’ products.

Chapter 1. Safety Fusion UV Systems’ Ultraviolet (UV) Lamp Systems have been designed to operate safely. Many systems are in production in a wide variety of industrial environments without any problems of worker safety or health hazards. However, like most industrial equipment, this equipment can present worker safety problems if care is not taken to install, operate, and maintain it correctly.
Fusion lamps operate at a fundamental frequency of 2.45 GHz. The unit may cause interference with some local area networks (LANs) that also operate at this frequency.
At high concentrations it can cause discomfort or at sufficiently high levels be dangerous. The Fusion UV Lamp System makes less ozone than a conventional arc lamp. For example, a pair of lamps running for twelve hours in a non-vented room resulted in a steady state concentration of less than 0.02 parts per million.
A high quality cable, rated at 10,000 Volts, is used in all high voltage cables manufactured by Fusion UV Systems, and can be supplied to users for any additional connections that may be required. UV Curable Materials Please consult your UV materials supplier for recommended precautions regarding the proper handling and use of these products.
Before unpacking, examine all shipping containers for damage. After unpacking, examine the equipment for damage. Any damage should be reported immediately to the shipper and to Fusion UV Systems Incorporated. A delay of more than 10 days may invalidate future claims for damages.
After the inspection is completed, all components must be carefully re-packed and stored until actual installation. Save the packing materials. They will be valuable if any component must be returned to Fusion UV Systems for service. See “Shipping Instructions” on page 22 for more information.
Irradiator Mounting The irradiator mounting structure must also provide UV shielding and adequate venting for the cooling air. This is described on the following pages. Each user will normally design the mounting structure to suit the particular application, and the user is responsible for providing the required shielding and ventilation.
(as shown in Figure 6 on page 34), lamp performance and operation may be impaired. Contact Fusion UV Systems Technical service department for consultation. Figure 6. Lamps in Opposing Configuration UV Light Shielding Adequate light shielding must be provided for each irradiator in the system. If shielding is not used, or if UV light escapes around the irradiator support, the operator must wear a welder’s helmet or UV blocking eye wear.
Figure 7 illustrates the proper mounting of the RF Detector. Figure 7. Fusion UV Systems RF Detector RF-1 One RF detection device must be installed for each light shield. The antenna should point toward the irradiator screen, which is the potential source of RF leakage.
Remote Blowers An optional remote blower package is available from Fusion UV Systems. The package includes an air distribution plenum (for multi-lamp systems), inlet filter box, and flexible hoses or ducts for cooling the system. The blower delivers 2.8 m /min (100 cfm) of air to each irradiator inlet at 695 Pa (2.8"...

Input/Output Connections The P300M/P300MQ/P300MT has three customer use interlock inputs. A fault condition on any of these inputs will cause the system to shut down; the fault must be corrected before the system can be restarted. There must be one RF detector per system. The remaining interlock inputs are optional.
NOTE: A dry contact (such as a relay contact or a PLC containing a relay contact) with gold contact material should be used to drive the remote inputs. The cable length to the dry contact should be no more than 6 meters. Shielded cable should be used to minimize possible electrical interference.
(K5) (10mA minimum) no unit or system error exists. NOTE: When using circuit currents for K1-K5 below 10mA, contact Fusion UV Systems Customer Service. Alternate Function for K5 An alternate K5 function may be selected by installing a jumper onto JP2 on the control card.

Chapter 6. Maintenance This chapter provides maintenance procedures for the I300M irradiator, the I310M/311M Irradiator, the P300MT power supply, and the K300 modular blower. I300M Irradiator Bulb, Screen, and Reflector Maintenance Cleaning Guidelines At least every 500 hours of operation, the irradiator should be removed from the light shield, and the screen, lamp bulb, and reflector inspected carefully.
If cleaning reflectors while assembled in the irradiator, drying with compressed air is NOT recommended because particles or residues can be driven into spaces between components and into optical sensing elements. Screen Cleaning Screens may be cleaned with the same cleaners cited previously, soaking if necessary, brushing lightly and rinsing well.
1. Refer to Figure 19. Loosen the four M3 screen retaining screws three turns each. Repeat, this time removing screws. Grasp the screen frame by both ends, taking care not to twist or bend the screen itself, and remove screen assembly. 2.
CAUTION: Do not apply bending force to the lamp bulb. Do not touch the bulb with bare fingers or allow it to contact dirty or greasy surfaces. Contaminants can be burned into the quartz envelope, causing premature bulb failure. 3. Clean any deposits from the surface of the bulb (see “Cleaning Guidelines”...
Page 83
3. Referring to Figure 23, remove and discard the two end reflectors and the gaskets underneath. If evidence of arcing is present, clean the gasket grooves with emery cloth to remove all oxide. 4. Insert both end reflectors, ensuring that they both seat fully and evenly. The replacement end reflectors must be installed before installing the new bulb and reflectors and the new RF Gasket.
Page 84
7. Align the reflector squarely over the opening. With gentle pressure and a rocking motion, slide the reflector down in place. It should not bind against the end reflectors as it goes into place. As a final motion, grasp the sides of the reflector and gently force them together a small amount, then settle the reflector down over the mounting surfaces (Figure...
Page 85
CAUTION: Do not use the flathead screws to pull the reflector into place. Excessive pull on these screws will deform the reflector face at its bend radius or loosen its rivets. This would result in a failure of the screen assembly to seat properly and subsequent damage to the screen gaskets.
11. Replace the screen assembly. After replacing the screen assembly, refer to Figure 26; hand-tighten the four M3 screws as shown until snug. Tighten them in sequence to 0.9 N-m (8 inch-lbs.) using a torque-controlled screwdriver. Repeat tightening the fasteners according to the sequence and torque specified. Figure 26.
