LAMP INSTRUCTIONS FOR 900 SERIES

It is always best to install the lamps and end caps just before the oven is to be energized. This reduces the possibility of lamp breakage. Before lamp-ing an oven, circuit wires should be checked for grounds or cross-phasing by a continuity test or Mega-Ohm tester. Once the lamps have been installed, these tests are impossible. When lamp-ing the oven, care should be taken not to touch the quartz glass with a bare hand. Installers should use soft cotton gloves. If an element has been in contact with the skin, simply wipe the tube off with alcohol or paint thinner. Reference Diagram #1 for the proper installation of the heat sources.

This featured video will show you the heat sources instructions on how to install the above heat sources (Quartz Tubes and T-3 Quartz Lamps) for our standard 900 Series Equipment. 

Lamp-ing Instructions:

  1. Remove end caps from each end of the fixture.
  2. Cut element lead to approx. 4” long
  3. Ref. Diagram #2. Bend and form the element lead as shown
  4. Place element in fixture.
  5. Insert the formed wire leads between lipped washers and tighten 3/8 nuts. Test the expansion loop by moving the element back and forth in its long direction. Movement of approx.. ¼” in both directions should be possible. If movements is not possible, the element is installed too tight!  DAMAGE  MAY  OCCUR. Correct if necessary.
  6. Re-install end caps.
