Introduction
Valued Customer,
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of your new M&R Quartz Flash unit.
The Quartz Flash is the ultimate flash cure system and the perfect companion for most M&R's auto-
matic textile presses. Designed to integrate flawlessly, Quartz Flash uses state-of-the-art quartz tubes
for rapid flash curing during high-speed production. Quartz Flash features digital temperature con-
trols, infrared substrate temperature monitoring, cooling fans, and instant-on technology. The unit
reverts to standby mode when the press is idle. The stand is sturdy, rugged, and fully portable, with
floor leveling pads for easy setup.
A thorough understanding of the operation and maintenance of your new Quartz Flash will insure max-
imum production rates and a long service life for your investment. This Operator's Manual is provided
to help guide you, and your employees, in the proper procedures for set-up, operation and preventive
maintenance of your new Quartz Flash unit.

Operator Safety Instructions
All industrial equipment, including screen printing equip-
ment, requires a combination of high electrical, pneumat-
ic, hydraulic or mechanical power for operation. In addi-
tion, automatic screen printing equipment, by its nature,
exposes operators to parts and assemblies which operate
at high speeds and contain numerous moving parts. As
with all complex industrial equipment, care should be
exercised to carefully observe proper operating proce-
dures and safety precautions.
Although every effort has been made to design and con-
struct safe, dependable equipment, it is impossible to fore-
see all circumstances under which this equipment may be
utilized, or to anticipate all possible combinations of factors
which may cause a hazardous condition or situation. It is
therefore imperative that the equipment operator, as well as
all other personnel engaged in any phase of the set-up,
operation or preventative maintenance of this equipment
consider safety first an important part of their job.
The following general safety considerations are offered
as an aid to users of M&R to assist them in becoming
safety conscience.
1. Read the Operator's Manual before attempting to lift,
move, operate or perform maintenance on any piece of
machinery. Become intimately familiar with all equipment
controls, their locations, their operation and their effect on
equipment function. Keep this Operator's Manual in a clean
location immediately adjacent to the equipment for a quick
and handy reference.
2. Before attempting to start the equipment inspect all
areas around and adjacent to moving parts for possible
obstructions: tools, rags, crating remnants etc. Be certain
that all Safety Guards, covers, access doors etc., are prop-
erly installed prior to starting operation.

engage the lamp. Slightly lower the lamp 2-3 inches and
disengage the lamp from the opposite male fixture to com-

3. Using a lintless cloth dampened with Isopropyl Alcohol,
gently wipe the reflector surface to remove any dirt or con-
tamination which may reduce reflector efficiency.
4. Check the replacement lamp to be sure both contact

and lightly push the lamp onto the connector. Now, position
the other end of the lamp so that the female contact aligns
with the male contact in the reflector assembly, and gently
move the lamp onto the contact. The spring loaded contacts
will now hold the lamp in place. Check to be sure the lamp
is secure in the connector. If the lamp is loose, check the
connectors on both the lamp and the reflector to be sure
they are not loose in their mounting or damaged.
Position one end of the heating element over the spring
loaded male pin connector on the reflector assembly and
carefully push the female electrical connector onto the male
pin connector. Compression of the spring-loaded male fix-
ture will require only light (1-2 pounds) pressure to properly
position the heating element.
3. Bring the opposite end of the heating element into con-
tact with the male pin contact on the other side of the reflec-
tor assembly. Allow the spring-loaded pressure from the
opposite contact to hold the heating element in position.
4. Install the remaining heating elements as described above.

To replace the mechanical type lamp:
1. Disconnect the electrical power from the Quartz Flash.
2. Remove the old lamp/lamps by loosening 8/32" nut at
either end of lamp connection. Slightly lower the lamp 2-3
inches until the ends clear the threaded mounting post, then
completely remove the lamp from the reflector assembly.
3. Using a lintless cloth dampened in Isopropyl Alcohol,
gently wipe the reflector surface and replacement lamp to
remove any dirt or contamination which may reduce reflec-

5. While wearing lintless gloves, position the replacement
lamp so that the white reflective material on the inside of the
