Installation & Integration Guidelines
- Mounting Installation: Use high-temperature ceramic clamps at both ends. Mount horizontally for optimal filament life. Minimum 50mm clearance from reflector. Allow 30mm clearance between adjacent elements for thermal expansion. Ensure good ventilation for cooling. Use vibration-dampening mounts in high-vibration environments.
- Electrical Connection: 240V or specified voltage supply. Connect to ceramic terminal block using high-temp nickel connectors. Wire gauge: 12AWG minimum for 1kW. Ground connection mandatory. Install SSR for switching (mechanical relays reduce life). Keep wire runs short to minimize voltage drop.
- Reflectors: Polished aluminum or gold-coated reflectors essential for efficiency. Position reflectors 25-50mm behind element. Clean reflectors monthly with soft cloth. Replace when oxidation reduces reflectivity >20%. Parabolic shape focuses energy on target.
- Safety Systems: Protective mesh guard mandatory (element operates at 2200°C). Over-temperature protection with fast response. Emergency stop within 3 meters. IR-filtered eye protection for personnel. Lockout/tagout procedures. Cool down 2 minutes before handling.
