Section 1 – INTRODUCTION
The Model 5306 StripIR
®
Infrared line heater is designed for use in any application that
requires a clean, responsive, non-contact heat source.
Typical applications for the Model 5306 include:
Drying paint
Curing adhesive
Drying ink
Forming plastic
Stress relieving metal
Heat treating
StripIR
The Model 5306 includes the following major components:
Heater Module – The heater consists of a specular aluminum reflector that directs the
infrared energy generated by one ceramic end-seal ‘T-3 style’ quartz halogen lamp
factory-installed in the heater. Heated lengths of 2.56, 5, 11, 16, 25, and 38 inches (65,
127, 279, 406, 635, and 965 mm) are offered for the Model 5306. Additional lamps can
be ordered separately from the heater.
Water Cooling –Adequate cooling water is required during operation of the Model
5306. Flexible tubing and plumbing fittings are supplied with each heater for easy
installation. Required cooling water flow rates are listed in Specifications.

106837-001 Rev. 1 1-2
Electrical Cable – The Model 5306 heater is electrically wired from the T3 lamp to
intermediate terminal block within the heater. An 8-foot (2.4 m) electrical cable is
supplied with each heater.
Optional Quartz Window – A quartz window can be ordered along with each size of the
Model 5306. When installed in the heater, the quartz window protects the aluminum
reflector and lamp from contaminants released in the heating process, resulting in
maximum efficiency of the heater.
Optional Power Control System – The Model 5306 can be ordered with the ‘PC’
option. This configuration consists of the heater, the Model 5620 ControlIR®SCR power
controller, and eight feet (2.4 m) of electrical cable connecting the heater to the
controller. Please see the Model 5620 ControlIR®product data sheet for further detail.

Section 2 – FEATURES & BENEFITS
The design and functionality of the Model 5306 supplies a variety of features and related
benefits:
Rapid Response – The quartz halogen lamps heat up and cool down instantly in response
to power control signals. They reach 90 percent of full operating temperature within three
seconds of a cold start. The radiant energy dissipates to ten percent five seconds after the
power supply is disconnected.
Continuous Operation – The formed stainless steel and extruded aluminum construction
of the Model 5306, combined with the liquid, allows the heater to withstand continuous
high temperature operation.
Controllable Energy Output – The infrared energy emitted from the heater can be
adjusted to match the heating requirements of a variety of applications.
The Model 5306 ordered with the ‘PC’ option is a complete heating solution designed
with a number of features including heater on/off control switching, potentiometer local
control, and a timer.

M5306 Additional Operation Manual
Section 4 – SAFETY
GENERAL: The Model 5306 heater is designed for safe operation. Nevertheless,
installation, maintenance, and operation of the heater can be dangerous for a careless
operator or maintenance person. For your safety and the safety of others, read the
instructions in this Instruction Manual and follow these safety practices to help prevent
accident or injury.
INFRARED RADIATION - CAUTION! Continuous exposure to high intensity
infrared radiation at close proximity could be harmful to eyes or skin. Although infrared
lamps emit negligible ultra violet electromagnetic radiation, harmful burns can still result
if an operator is in close contact with lamps being operated at high intensity.
Because of the brilliant light emitted by infrared lamps at full intensity, it is
recommended that eyes be shielded from the glare if observing the lamps for an extended
period of time. Use suitable shaded lenses or dark glasses.
HIGH TEMPERATURES: Parts of the heater may exceed 500°F (260°C). Contact
with the lamps, reflector, or metal parts near the lamps may cause severe burns.
WARNING!
NEVER place hands under or in front of the heating elements.
ALWAYS allow heating element to cool at least three minutes before touching the lamps
or adjacent parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY: There is danger of electrical shock when servicing the heater.
CAUTION! Observe all applicable local and national electrical codes and ensure that a
safe electrical ground system is installed before attempting to operate the heater. Refer to
the Section 5 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 end covers removed.

106837-001 Rev. 1 4-2
FIRE SAFETY:
1. Obey the same fire-safety rules you observe when working with hot plates,
propane or acetylene torches, soldering irons, and other equipment that operates at
extremely high heat.
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 heater.
