The enclosed Dymax EC Series UV Curing Light Source and Flood Lamp System was developed and manufactured by the DYMAX team, driven by a desire to best serve your needs. Before shipping, your EC Curing Lamp was thoroughly checked and tested for trouble-free performance.
UV curing technology has made it the process of choice for many manufacturers requiring a Cure on Demand™ assembly process. The purpose of this document is to provide information relating to the use of DYMAX UV curing systems. There are four common questions/concerns related to UV curing systems: UV exposure, high temperature surfaces, ozone, and bright visible light.

Per manufacturer, 99.9+% UV blocking and meet ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 requirements Meets ANSI X871.1 DYMAX also provides special order “shortwave” bulbs that emit primarily UVB and UVC light. Contact DYMAX directly for information regarding the use of “shortwave” bulbs.
GENERAL DYMAX EC Series UV (ultraviolet) light sources are general-purpose units for the curing of UV adhesives, coatings and inks. They have extensive use in a wide variety of applications such as bonding, potting, sealing and encapsulating. These light sources are extremely unique in that they offer exceptional versatility and expandability.
SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL: Each light source consists of the following components: • A solid-state power supply that allows external electrical inputs and provides power to the lamp located in the lamp/reflector assembly housing. The power supply contains the ON/OFF power switch and hour-meter that are located on the left side of the front panel.

Components Description 2000 EC: The Dymax 2000 EC is a general purpose UV light source with an effective curing area of approximately 8" x 8", making it ideal for batch processing or curing large areas. An optional special glass UV filter may be installed in the 2000 EC reflector to reduce UV-B and UV-C spectral emissions.
1200 EC: The Dymax 1200 EC is a focused beam UV lamp used for the curing of UV adhesives, coatings and inks. The unit's elliptical reflector provides an intense 1" x 6" area of UV energy 4.5" away from the lower edge of the lamp/reflector assembly housing.

5. Remove the glass filter (if installed in the 2000-EC) by removing one retaining strap held by two (2) 8-32 x 3/8" button head screws with 3/32 hex wrench. If the optional glass filter is installed, loosen the two (2) 8-32 x 3/8"...
NOTE: IF THE LAMP DOES NOT IGNITE, REFER TO THE TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. LAMP BASE REPLACEMENT KIT Installation Instructions: Turn off the power. Remove the power cord and connector cord from the unit. Remove the lamp/reflector assembly from the mounting stand and place it on a clean, flat surface with the lamp facing up.
CAUTION: IT IS IMPORTANT TO REPLACE THIS FUSE WITH THE SAME 6.25 AMP RATED, SLOW BLOW TYPE. 6. Slide the fuse holder back into the receptacle until it is fully seated, then rotate the cover upward until it latches. 7. Install the power cord and connect it to the electrical power source. 8.

UV light. UV Radiometer (P/N 39561) Dymax offers an Accu-Cal 50 for monitoring the UV intensity of the EC-Series light sources. This radiometer is calibrated to measure UVA output (320-390 nm) wavelength.
1. Ultraviolet A (UV-A) - UV of long wavelength from within approximately 400 to 320nm of the spectral band (4000 to 3200⊕) - predominately produced by Dymax Flood Lamps. 2. Ultraviolet B (UV-B) - UV of medium wavelength from within approximately 320 to 280nm - Dymax Flood Lamps produce some amount of their energy within this bandwidth.
