SECTION 2

Installation

Proper operating conditions are vital to a safe and productive environment. This section describes the ideal environment and setup of the laser system.

Operating Environment

Follow these guidelines to ensure a proper operating environment for the laser system. Operating the laser system outside of these guidelines can seriously damage the laser system and damages from this type of abuse WILL NOT be covered under warranty. Although conforming to these guidelines will greatly reduce the chance of a problem occurring, it does not guarantee it. It is your responsibility to provide a proper operating environment.

Ambient room temperature MUST be between 50 and 95 degrees F (10 and 35 degrees C). If transporting the laser system from a very cold or very hot environment to the proper operating environment, the laser system must be allowed time to adjust to the ambient temperature. To do this, turn ON the laser system (and chiller if applicable), and let the system idle for 15 minutes before processing materials. This will allow the ambient temperature to circulate through the laser system to either warm it up or cool it off.

Ambient room dewpoint temperatures MUST be less than 50 degrees F (10 degrees C).

The laser system MUST be installed in an office type environment. Dusty or dirty air environments can damage the laser system. Keep the laser system isolated from any type of sandblasting, sanding, or any other machinery that produces airborne particles.

Avoid small, enclosed, non-ventilated areas. Some materials, after laser engraving or cutting, continue emitting fumes for several minutes after processing. Having these materials present in a confined, unventilated room can contaminate the room.

Choose a place, which provides the shortest and most direct path to the exhaust ductwork (not provided). Refer to exhaust requirements later on in this section.

Have a work table or storage area next to or nearby the laser system. This prevents the operator from using the system as a table or storage facility.

Do not move, push, lean on, or jar the laser system while it is engraving. The material you are engraving can shift and produce unsatisfactory results.
