3.3 Setting up the BIO X6
Before connecting the BIO X6 to a wall socket, ensure that the socket is grounded. Next,
connect the BIO X6 to the power outlet (see 2.1 Product overview) and the grounded wall
socket with the included power cable.
The BIO X6 has an internal air supply capable of providing up to 200 kPa to the printheads.
To use higher pressure, connect an external air supply to the back of the BIO X6 (see 2.1
Product overview).
Turn on the BIO X6 by using the power switch on the back (see 2.1 Product overview).
Operate the BIO X6 in a room with a temperature between 18ºC and 22ºC. Under normal
operating conditions, the chamber temperature will rise between 2ºC and 3ºC, and the
temperature on the standard pneumatic printheads will rise between 4ºC and 5ºC.
For precise temperature control, use a Temperature-controlled Printhead and ensure that
room temperature is between 18ºC and 22ºC.
Check the temperature of the print chamber with the integrated temperature sensor.
Always connect the BIO X6 to a grounded outlet. Connecting the bioprinter to an
ungrounded outlet can cause equipment damage and personal injury.
Make sure that the external air supply does not exceed the specifications
outlined in the Technical specifications. Improper use can cause equipment
damage and personal injury.
