I. Recommendations for installation The physical installation and connections must be done by a Gravotech approved technician. Turn off the machine before any intervention (put the On/Off switch in the "O" (Off) position). On / Off switch 1. Physical installation • Place the machine on a horizontal, stable and clean surface that can support 170 kg (374.786 lb) or more. • Check that the engraving table is level in both directions (adjust with a spirit level). • Place the machine in a clean, ventilated environment. Choose the location that offers the shortest and most direct route to the air extraction system (see: Air extraction system (option). • Avoid small, confined, unventilated spaces. Some materials continue to emit gases for a few minutes after laser marking or cutting. The presence of these materials in a confined, unventilated room could contaminate the room. - Page 24 Recommendations for installation The machine is fitted with fans which cool the laser source and the electronics during operation. Check that the temperature is indeed between 10 °C (50 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F). Ventilator This marking equipment is designed to function at a room temperature between 10 °C (50 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F). • If the equipment is stored at a temperature inferior to 10 °C (50 °F) or superior to 40 °C (104 °F), leave it 24h at a temperature between 10 °C (50 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F) before start-up. • Ambient light is enough to light the equipment properly. The machine has a lighting system inside the work area. • Arrange the work area so that the operator can quickly and easily access all the external parts of the machine. Do not obstruct the movement of the moving parts of the machine.
