Section 2
Installation
The following operational guidelines are vital to a safe and productive environment. It is your
responsibility to provide a proper operating environment. This section will also give you step-by-step
instructions for site preparation, and computer and software setup. Please follow the instructions in the
order shown:
1. Establishing a Proper Operating Environment
2. Providing a Suitable Electrical Power Source
3. Extracting Fumes and Particulates
4. Software Installation and Operating System Requirements (Sections 2 & 3)
5. Assembling the PLS (Section 4)
Damage to the laser system due to an inadequate or improper operating
environment is considered abuse and
WILL NOT be covered under
warranty. In no event will ULS be liable for any damages caused, in whole or
in part, by customer, or for any economic loss, physical injury, lost revenue,
lost profits, lost savings or other indirect, incidental, special or consequential
damages incurred by any person, even if ULS has been advised of the
possibility of such damages or claims.
1. Establishing a Proper Operating Environment
Environment (user supplied)
• The laser system MUST be installed in an office-type or light duty manufacturing environment.
Dusty or dirty air environments can damage the laser system. Keep the laser system isolated
from any type of sandblasting, sanding, oily, or any other machinery that produces airborne
particles.
• Avoid small, enclosed, non-ventilated areas. Some materials, after laser engraving or cutting,
continue emitting fumes for several minutes after processing. Having these materials present in a
confined, unventilated room can contaminate the room.
• For best results, since the lasers are air-cooled, we recommend operating the laser system
between the ambient temperatures of 73ºF (22ºC) to 77ºF (25º C).
• Avoid storing the laser system outside the temperatures of 50ºF (10ºC) to 95ºF (35º C) as
excessively cold or hot temperatures can damage the laser cartridge or reduce its lifetime.
• Ambient humidity levels must be non-condensing.
• A suitable working surface for all material processing.
2. Providing a Suitable Electrical Power Source
Electrical (user supplied)
• For your system’s electrical requirements, please refer to the “INPUT POWER” label near the
ON/OFF switch and/or power inlet.
• NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND LEAD TO THE ELECTRICAL CORD AND
PLUG THE SYSTEM INTO A NON-GROUNDED OUTLET. This is very
dangerous and can lead to a severe, if not fatal, electrical shock. Always plug
the system into a properly grounded (earthed) outlet. Also, without proper
grounding, the laser system may exhibit sporadic or unpredictable behavior.
• Noisy or unstable electricity as well as voltage spikes may cause interference and possible
damage to the electronics of the laser system. If electrical power fluctuations, brown outs, or
