c) Setup and Transport
Whensettingupthe3Dprinter,observethatthemainsunitandthemainscablemustbeeasytoreachsothatthedevice
canbeswitchedoffquicklyandeasilyorbedisconnectedfromthevoltagesupplyincaseofmalfunction.
Ensureproperventilationwhensettingupthedevice.Donotputthedevicedownonsoftsupportsuchasacarpetorbed,
etc.theaircirculationalsomustnotbeimpairedbyotherobjects.Thispreventsheatdissipationfromtheproductandmay
leadtooverheating(dangerofre).
 Whensettingupthedevice,makesurethatithasastablefootingandplaceitonastableunderground.Personsmaybe
injuredifthe3Dprinterdrops.
 Whensettingupthedevice,makesurethattheconnectioncablesareneitherpinchednordamagedbysharpedges.
 Alwaysplacethecablessothatnoonecantripoverthemorbecaughtinthem.Thereisadangerofinjury.
Neverplacethedeviceonanyvaluableorsensitivefurnituresurfaceswithoutsufcientprotection.
• Putupthe3Dprinteronalevel,stableandnon-vibration-sensitivesurface.
• Ifyouwanttotransportthe3D-printer,disconnectthemainsunitfromthemainPCB,bydisconnectingthegreenplug(rstdisconnectthe
mains unit from the mains).
 Alsoremovetheprintingplatesupport(onlyintheconstructionkit).
Only use suitable packaging for dispatch! Particularly observe that all moving parts are secured, e.g. with cable ties!
 Packtheprintingplatesupportseparatelyinbubblewrap(constructionkitonly).
We assume no liability for any transport damage caused by improper packaging of the printer!
d) Mains Connection and First Activation
Themainssockettowhichthemainsunitofthe3Dprinterisconnectedmustbeclosetothedeviceandeasilyaccessible
toquicklyseparatethedevicefromthemainsvoltageincaseofanerror.
Beforeplugginginthemainsplug,ensurethatthedevicevoltageindicatedatthemainsunitcorrespondstotheavailable
mainsvoltage.Donotconnectthedeviceiftheindicationdoesnotcorrespondtotheavailablemainsvoltage.Incorrect
supplyvoltagemayleadtoirreparabledamagetothemainsunit,3Dprinteranddangertotheuser.
 Alwaysdisconnectthemainsunitfromthevoltagesupplyrst(pullthemainscablefromthemainssocket)beforediscon-
nectingorconnectingthegreenconnectionplugfrom/tothemainPCB!
If the motors are moved manually, the display may light up. This is not a malfunction. A voltage induced by the movement in the mo-
tors causes the display to light up.
• ConnectthegreenconnectionplugcorrectlytothemainPCB.
• Plugthemainsplugofthemainsadapterintoaprotectivecontactsocket.
• SomeLEDswilllightuponthemainPCBandthedisplaywilllightup.Ifrmwareisinstalledalready,youwillbrieyseethewelcomescreen
andtheinstalledrmware;thenthemainmenuappears.
Ifthedisplayshowsnothingandrmwarehasalreadybeeninstalled,thedisplaycontrastmayneedtobeadjusted.Thereisasmall
holeinthedisplayholderforthisbetweentheattachmentscrewatthelowerleftandthemanufacturer'slogo.Youcanturnitwitha
smallat-headscrewdrivertoadjustthedisplaycontrast.
Beforecontinuingwithcommissioning,checkifnewsoftwareorrmwareisavailable.Onthis,observechapter"8.Installationofthe
Software and Firmware" or "20. Firmware Update".
