4.1 Installation Overview
A complete working system consists of the laser engraving machine, its integrated air assist and
water pump, its vent and exhaust fan, its control computer, all applicable connection cables, the
interlock connector, and the laser key. The engraver can receive designs and commands from the
control computer directly from its USB cable or remotely from its wireless network or ethernet
cable. It can also store some design files on its circuit board. The designs can be applied to flat
surfaces resting on the honeycomb workbed or to round surfaces supported on one of the provided
rotary devices. Users can configure other additional accessories (such as a fume extractor) to suit
their needs.
4 Installation
Use only the hardware, wiring, and power sources that came with or are
compatible with this engraver. Installing equipment that your engraver is not
designed to work with can lead to poor performance, shortened service time,
increased maintenance costs, property damage, and personal injury.
Note the specific requirements of your system’s installation. Every customer must understand these
notes before installation to execute a proper setup and achieve safe laser performance. If you have
any installation questions or problems, contact our technicians and customer support team.
Any auxiliary equipment must be adjusted to the base machine. Queries may be directed to the
dealer or manufacturer of such equipment.
4.2 Selecting a Location
Before you install your engraver, select an appropriate location for its use. Be sure that it meets all
of the requirements as below:
•
Be sure that it meets all of the requirements discussed in
§1
Safety Information on Page 1.
•
The location should be stable, level, dry, and climate-controlled to provide an ambient
temperature of 40
℉
–104
℉
(5
℃
–40
℃
) and an ambient humidity between 20%–85%. In
particular, the temperature and humidity together should not be close to the dew point. It is also
advisable to use a windowless room or to use blinds and/or curtains to avoid exposure to the
potential additional heat of direct sunlight.
•
The location should be free of dust and other airborne pollutants, and it should be well-
ventilated enough to process any fumes produced by the engraving process in accordance
with all applicable laws and regulations. Depending on the materials to be processed, this may
require the construction of a dedicated ventilation system.
•
The location should be away from children; sensitive EMI engravers; and any combustible,
flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials.
