3.1 Installation Overview
A complete working system consists of the laser engraving cabinet, both laser nozzles and their accessories, the
integrated cooling system, a ventilation system adequate for the materials you’re working (fan and ducts included),
all applicable connection cables, and the laser and access keys. The cabinet can use designs provided by the enclosed
engraving software by direct or internet connection with your computer.
Use only the hardware, wiring, and power sources that came with or are compatible with this device.
Installing equipment that your device is not designed to work with can lead to poor performance,
shortened service time, increased maintenance costs, property damage, and personal injury.
Please note the specic 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.
3.2 Location Selection
Before you install your engraver, select an appropriate location for its use. Be sure that it meets all of the requirements
discussed in the Safety Information above.
The location should be stable, level, dry, and climate controlled to provide an ambient temperature of 40–95°F (5–
35°C) and an ambient humidity between 5–90%. 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.
Provide 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance behind the machine for the chiller’s fans and 3 feet (1 m) of clearance to the right
of the machine for the electronic bay’s fans for maximum eciency. The location should be free of dust and other
airborne pollutants, and it should be well ventilated enough to avoid the buildup of humidity from the operation of
the chiller and 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 construction of a dedicated ventilation
system.
The upper power cord for the chiller and the lower main power cord should be plugged into a compatible and stable
power source via grounded 3-prong outlets on SEPA R ATE 20A circuits. The external fan can be plugged into the
engraver or use the same circuit as the chiller, but using a separate third circuit is recommended. If you will need
to run all three devices on a single circuit, a special high-amperage circuit (at least 35A) will need to be specially
prepared.
The location should be away from children; sensitive EMI devices; and any combustible, ammable, explosive, or
corrosive materials. It should be near the engraver but protected against any possibility of falls or impacts. Particularly
in professional settings, keep a maintenance log and the phone number for the local re department nearby in a
prominent location.
It is highly recommended to have an extra work table nearby in order to avoid placing objects on or directly adjacent
to the machine, which could become a re or laser hazard. In particular, never place anything on the extension box
or other parts of the laser bay. The laser’s accessory box—including its hex wrenches and nozzles—can be stored in
the lower left bay but it is better to provide a separate location for it nearby.
