3. Installation
3.1 Installation Overview
A complete working system consists of the laser engraving machine, its integrated air assist and exhaust system, a
water tank (not included) with a pump (included), and a USB cable connected to a control computer with the enclosed
engraving software. Users can also confi gure other additional accessories (such as an industrial water chiller or
rotary axis) to suit their needs.
Please note the specifi c 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 ensure an ambient temperature of 40–95°F (5–35°C) and an ambient humidity
of under 70%. 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 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.
It should be kept away from children, sensitive EMI devices, and combustible, fl ammable, explosive, or corrosive
materials. Remove any items that might block the side vents. The power cord should be plugged into a compatible
and stable power source via a grounded 3-prong outlet. No other item should be drawing current from the same
fuse. There should be fi refi ghting equipment nearby, and the local fi re department's phone number should be clearly
displayed.
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 fi re or laser hazard.
3.3 Unpacking Your Engraver
Your engraver arrives in a box with its accessories (including this manual) packaged on top of your engraving device.
Check that you have received all of the following: a power cord, a ground wire, a USB cable, a USB fl ash drive with
engraving software included, a water pump and water piping, an exhaust pipe with a hose clamp, a tube of silicone
sealant, an acrylic focusing tool, a laser key, a ceramic testing resistor and its separate instructions, a roll of double-
sided tape, and this manual. Carefully remove any foam packaging material and nylon ties from the laser tube and
axes. You may keep the packaging in case of a future return but, if you do dispose of it or any accessories, be sure to
do so in compliance with applicable waste disposal regulations.
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.
