1.
Install the system on a flat, stable stand. A stand from 18 to 24 inches in height will
provide the most comfortable working height. Custom designed, ergometric stands are
available from ULS.
2.
Connect the fume exhaust tube on the machine to an external exhaust unit.
3.
Connect the water cooling tubes from the water chiller.
4.
Connect the interface to the computer: both serial and parallel connections are available.
(The system is set for parallel connection at the factory.) Most software is set to run in
parallel mode, so switching interfacing to serial mode is not normally required.
ote:
Serial Interface is not available if the High Speed Raster Engraving Option is
installed.
At this point, the system and chiller are normally ready for power up, therefore, go to Step 9. If
your software requires serial interfacing, continue with Steps 5-8.
5.
a.
To remove the top cover, unclasp the four latches that hold the top cover down.
Two latches can be found on the right side of the machine and two can be found
on the left side of the machine.
b.
Ensure that the power cord is removed and gently lift the cover up and off of the
machine. This will require two people to accomplish. Watch out for the one inch
mirror in the front left corner of the machine and the electronics and water lines in
the right side of the machine.
6.
Set the type of interface using the Dip Switches. Refer to "DIP Switch Settings, section
2.2.2 and Dip Switch Table Appendix A.
7.
Set the communication parameters -- These are only set when using a serial connection.
They are set by DIP switch. Refer to "DIP Switch Settings, section 2.2.2 and Dip Switch
Table Appendix A. (Also, remember to configure the communication settings for the
computer and software.)
8.
After the setup for serial communication is completed, replace the top cover.
9.
Connect the AC power cord.
10. Turn on water chiller. Water temperature should be set to 72
o
F. Be sure the water lines to
the laser are open. Also, check to make sure the water chiller has been filled with distilled
water to the proper level (remember, empty hoses and the laser itself will slightly reduce
the water level in the chiller).
OTE:
Always turn on water chiller before operating the laser.
