Electrical Safety

There is danger of electrical shock when servicing the heater.

!CAUTION!

Observe that all applicable local and national electrical codes are
met and a safe electrical ground system is installed before
attempting to operate the heater. Refer to the Section 3 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 the heater end covers removed


Fire Safety

1. Obey the same fire-safety rules you observe when you work with hot plates, high

intensity infrared heaters, propane or acetylene torches, soldering irons, and other
equipment that gets very hot.

2. Remove all solids, liquids, and gases that burn easily from the area around the

heater.

3. Know where the nearest fire extinguisher is located and how to use it.
4. Know how to put out fire from all the types of material near the Model 4085 Heater.

Maintaining Proper Air Flow For Heater Cooling

The Model 4085 heater requires airflow of minimum 120 SCFH to operate properly and
prolong its life. A fitting is supplied on the heater that accepts flexible tubing which
supplies cooling air to the heater.

Failure to supply sufficient cooling to the Model 4085 will cause it to overheat which
can lead to premature lamp failure and/or destruction of the heater wiring, body, or
reflector.
