cable or optional accessory.
Never unplug a cable while the machine is turned on (except for the mains lead in the
event of an emergency). The power outlet must be located alongside the equipment
and must be easily accessible.
Do not remove the power supply cover: risk of electric shock. The connection to
the single phase power supply is made with a standard, 3 pin plug with grounding.

To avoid interference problems due to the external environment, observe the following:
• Usethelinkcablessupplied.TheycomplywithEMCradio-frequencyinterferenceemissionstandardsand
provideprotectionfromexternalelectricalinterference(compliantwithEMCimmunityandsusceptibility
standards).
• Bringtheitemsofequipmenttobelinkedasclosetogetheraspossibletoreducethelengthofcabletobe
used.
• Separatethepowercablefromthelinkcableandmakesurethepowerandlinkcablesdonotrunthrough
the same cable tray.
• Connect the machine direct to a mains power line and avoid connecting more than one device to that line
(bypluggingseveraldevicesintothesamemainssocketorintoamulti-wayadapter).
• Do not allow inductive or capacitive devices to be connected to the same mains power line as the machine
(motors,solenoidvalves,chargers,etc.).
• Avoid the installation of manual or automatic switching systems on the same mains power line as the
machine(relays,timers,programmers,automaticcircuit-breakers,automaticswitches,etc.).
• Checkthat devices in the vicinity of the machine meet the standards for electromagnetic interference.
Read the technical data sheet for each device. If they are non-compliant, move them as far away from the
machine as possible.
• Connections and cabling: separate the power supply cables from the control cables in cable ducts and in
thecabinet(forcontrolcables,asectionof0.34mm²isrecommended).
• Equipmentltering:therelaysconnectedtothemarkingmachineshouldincludeadeviceforsuppressing
interferenceontheoperatingcoil(freewheelingdiodeforDCrelaysorRCcircuitforACrelays).
• Connection of shielding: the communication cables (All Or Nothing I/O or Ethernet - RS232 computer
cables) must be shielded with both ends of the shielding connected to the equipment ground via the
shortestpossiblelink.
• Grounding:connecttogetheralltheconductivemetalgrounds(nopaintortreatmentsuchasanodization)

should be multiple connection points to improve the connection quality.
• Use the Gravotech accessories.
