HP Scitex Industrial Presses Essential Health and Safety Instructions
UV System Safety
Introduction
All equipment is designed and manufactured to International Safety Standards
to ensure that the health and safety of the operator is protected at all times.
This is conditional on equipment being installed correctly by qualified
personnel and operating instructions being strictly adhered to.
Everyone who is required to work with the UV system in any way (including
installers, operators, service engineers, and so on), must be made familiar with
these safety instructions. The equipment is designed for the curing of UV inks.
This equipment is not designed for use in hazardous areas (i.e. it is not
flameproof). There are certain substances that can represent a safety hazard if
not handled correctly.
High Voltage
The UV system works at high voltages. It is therefore essential that the operator
switch the equipment off immediately should any fault develop.
Unless stated otherwise in this manual, the operator should not attempt to
service the equipment, but should instead call a qualified electrician who is
trained to service this type of equipment.
Fire Risk
With lamps running at 800 degrees Centigrade, there is always a risk of fire
should any substrate be under or in the lamp vicinity, or in the event of a build-
up of fluff, dirt or powder within the lamp housing.
Should such a situation occur, the operator must:
•
Switch off the equipment immediately. If a fire extinguisher is to be used,
make sure it is of a type which is suitable for use with electrical equipment,
as described in
Fire Hazards
on page 6.
•
A suitable fire extinguisher should be available near the unit.
•
The equipment is fitted with high temperature lamps. It is not designed to
operate close to low flash point materials (solvents, etc.).
UV Ink and Generated Products
The relevant safety data sheets from the ink manufacturer must be followed
when handling UV inks.
The materials used in UV inks and varnishes are of a toxic nature. Before
handling, it is essential all operators are conversant with the instructions
provided by the supplier of these materials as to their safe use and disposal.
During operation, there is a possibility that an odor may be generated.
