1.

Intended use of the product

This product serves exclusively to accelerate the drying/curing of
putty, filler, base and clear coats. This applies to both water-borne
and solvent-based products. It´s site of use is the preparation area
and finishing area. Within the automotive industry and vehicle
repair sectors, it is used to cure small areas before polishing. The
product must not be used for other purposes than the described
drying processes. The maximum ambient temperature during oper-
ation should not exceed 40°C. The IRT 4-1 PcAuto and IRT 4-2 PcAuto
dryers must not be used in spray booths or within a distance of 5m from
spraying activities in order to avoid explosion risk. This prohibition is also
valid for the IRT 4-20 PcAuto & IRT 4-10 PcAuto, if not combined with
the IRT Dust Cover and Surveillance System (document 714147).

Product description

The dryer is an essential aid for paint repair on small and medium
sized areas.
The easily manoeuvrable IRT 4-1 Pc Auto, 4-2 Pc Auto 4-10 PcAuto
and 4-20 Pc Auto is equipped with one or two compact cassettes.
Each cassette is equipped with four Infra Red (IR) lamps with gold
plated free-form reflectors and a ventilator. The design, combined
with a gas spring, makes positioning of the cassette simple. The
IR lamps are easily exchangeable and the reflectors are protected
against mechanical damage by a mesh. The dryer has a selection of
sophisticated programs.

Particular advantages

2.1.1 Higher quality
Using the dryer when you cure putty also improves th e quality of
the top coat.
The short wave IR curing enables the coating to be cured from the
inside outwards. This prevents solvents to be trapped inside the
coating and ensures a fast and high quality curing.
2.1.2 Short drying times

2.1.3 Regulated temperature
The dryer has a pyrometer which carefully controls tempera-
ture of the object. The computer does not only measure the
maximum allowed temperature but also the temperature
raise. It ensures that the programmed drying/curing tem-
perature is maintained, thereby achieving optimum curing,
without risk for "over burning".

2.1.4 Hi-tech shape of reflectors with short wave IR
By using short-wave technology and gold-coated reflectors with
a high tech shape important advantages are achieved. Firstly, by
radiating only the needed areas and not heating any air, a lower
energy consumption is achieved. Secondly, a more uniform surface
temperature is obtained by distributing the energy evenly. Thirdly,
a larger drying surface is achieved. Fourthly, less radiation outside
the curing area.
