Safety & Precautions
Before unpacking, installing and operating the iColor Coater, please make sure you read and follow
these safety instructions.
The iColor coater can be installed by the customer after reading and following the detailed
directions provided in this manual.
CAUTION: The operator of the iColor coater must take extreme caution during the running of
the machine to prevent the possibility of a Fire!
When feeding stock you must make sure it is exiting the machine, i.e. not getting jammed in
the delivery area or it will catch on Fire!
CAUTION: AClass A,B,C fire extinguisher and a metal garbage can with a metal lid should be
located in close proximity to the iColor coater system in case a coated sheet gets caught under
the lamp and catches fire.
Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood,
cardboard and most plastics.
Class B res involve ammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene,
grease and oil.
Class C res involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers
and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C res - the risk of electrical shock is
far too great!
CAUTION: Those coatings cannot be used which build an explosive atmosphere when being
heated up under the UV Dryer.
CAUTION: A licensed / certified electrician MUST connect iColor coater to the plant pow-er.
CAUTION: Do not connect or disconnect any power cables or perform any maintenance to
the iColor coater while the system is powered on.
WARNING: Some of the components (i.e. UV lamp housing, bulb and duct) of the iColor
coater system may become hot during normal operation. Use care when handling or touching
these components.

Safety & Precautions (continued)
WARNING: The UV bulb is extremely hot during use. Never touch this bulb as a severe
burn/injury could result.
WARNING: DO NOT touch the UV light bulb with your hands as it will shorten the life of the

wipe the bulb with IPA unless the bulb is cool.
WARNING: When working around the UV unit with the power on you must wear the UV Safety
Glasses (provided) to protect your eyes from direct or indirect (reection from paper) exposure
to the UV rays. UV rays can severely damage your eyes.
CAUTION: When handling the UV Coating, please use safety gloves (provided) for skin protec-
tion.
CAUTION: Please read and observe the UV coating Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for
the various personal, work and environmental recommendations. The MSDS sheets should be
easily accessible in the event of an emergency.
CAUTION: Keep UV coating away from heat and/or open ame. Keep UV containers in a cool
and dry location. Do not allow UV coating to freeze.
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!
It is extremely important to clean and maintain your iColor coater
properly in order to produce the outstanding coating output that your
customers expect.
If you do not properly clean and maintain your iColor coater, it will
not perform properly.
Also, failure to clean and maintain your iColor coater will void your
warranty.

Please nd below a visual representation of our Safety Guards. If the front safety guard is opened, the
conveyor will shut down immediately, the UV light will drop to the lowest setting and the reector hous-
ing will rotate to the idle position. The fan will continue to operate. If the rear safety guard is opened
the UV lamp, conveyor & fans will instantly shut down. Upon closing the rear guard, the fan will begin
to operate and begin running the cooling cycle. You may turn on the UV at this time, however note it
could take up to 2 minutes for the lamp to engage.
