This section provides step-by-step instructions for site preparation, computer/software setup and laser system
assembly and connection. Follow the instructions in the order shown.
1. Site Preparation
2. Operating System Requirements and Software Installation
3. Assembling and Connecting Your Laser System
Note: Make sure to complete step 2 (software installation) prior to plugging the laser system into a USB port
on your PC.
CAUTION: Damage to the laser system due to inadequate or improper installation or operation is not covered
under the Universal Laser Systems (ULS) Warranty. See the ULS Warranty for additional information. A ULS
Warranty document is supplied with your laser system. Should you require a copy of the Warranty, please
contact the ULS Customer Service Team at support@ulsinc.com
.
Please refer to the Safety section before operating your laser system.
Step 1: Site Preparation
Operating Environment (User Supplied)
1. The laser system must be installed in an office, laboratory, workshop or light-duty manufacturing
environment.
2. Dusty or dirty environments can damage the laser system. Keep the laser system isolated from any
processes that produce airborne particles such as sandblasting, sanding, machining, etc. Also, keep
the laser system isolated from any equipment requiring mists of oil or water for lubrication.
Airborne dust and liquids can coat and damage optics and motion system components.
3. 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 create a health hazard.
4. For best results, since the laser cartridges are air-cooled, we recommend operating the laser system
between the ambient temperatures of 70 °F (21 °C) and 78 °F (25 °C).
5. Avoid storing the laser system outside the temperatures of 50 °F (10 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C) as
excessively cold or hot temperatures can damage the laser cartridge or reduce its lifetime.
6. Ambient humidity levels must be non-condensing to protect optics.
7. The laser system should be at least 1 foot (300 mm) away from any wall or obstruction to allow for
access and proper ventilation.
Electrical Power Source (User Supplied)
1. For your system’s electrical requirements, please refer to the “INPUT POWER” label near the power
inlet.
2. CAUTION: Never remove the ground lead to the electrical cord and plug the laser system into a non-
grounded outlet. A laser system that is not properly grounded is hazardous and has the potential to
cause severe or fatal electrical shock. Without proper grounding, the laser system may exhibit
sporadic or unpredictable behavior. Always plug the system into a properly grounded (earthed)
outlet.
