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.

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.

System Operating Requirements

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). However, the system can operate between
the temperatures of 50ºF (10ºC) to 95ºF (35º 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.

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 constant power
outages are a problem in your area, an electrical line stabilizer, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply),
or backup generator might be required. You may also need to connect the laser system to a
dedicated electrical line to resolve the problem.

•

The laser system is designed as a Class I, Group A, pluggable device. It is also designed for

connection to IT power systems which provides the most flexibility to the user.
