INSTALLATION

Section 2-4

Electrical Power Source

• The electrical power requirements can be found printed on the sticker next to the power inlet of

the laser system.

• Noisy or unstable electricity as well as voltage spikes may cause interference and possible

damage to the device’s electronics. If electrical power fluctuations, brown outs, or constant

power outages are a problem in your area, an electrical power stabilizer, UPS (Uninterruptible

Power Supply), or backup generator may be required.

• To prevent the overload of your electrical power circuit or to control an unstable or noisy electrical

power source, it may be necessary to connect the device to a dedicated electrical circuit.

• The system is supplied with a power connector but not a power cord. You will need to supply the

power cord based on the length of cord you need as well as a properly rated one.

• You will need to connect the laser system to your electrical power source using the connector

ULS supplied and the power cord that you supply. We suggest that this be done by a qualified

electrician.

• Never remove the ground (earth) nor plug the system into a non- grounded (non-earthed) outlet.

Operating the device without the ground connection is very dangerous and can lead to a severe,

if not fatal, electrical shock. It may also cause the device to exhibit unpredictable behavior.

Fume and Particulate Extraction (Exhaust)

• The exhaust system MUST be capable of supplying a minimum of 700 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of

airflow while under a load of 6 inches of static pressure (850m3/hr at 1.5kPa). DO NOT install

forward incline, backward incline, in-line, or ventilator fans because these types of air handlers are

inadequate and inappropriate for this type of installation. A high-pressure blower MUST be used to

meet minimum airflow requirements.

• The blower MUST be mounted on the OUTSIDE of the building.

• Rigid tubing should be used for 90% of the distance traveled between the blower and the laser

system. The tubing should be smooth walled and have as few 90 degree bends as possible.

• Install a gate to control airflow and to close off the exhaust from the outside environment when the

laser is not in use. Place this gate within 5 – 10 feet from the laser system.

• Use a short piece of industrial grade, wire reinforced rubber tubing to connect the end of the gate to

the laser system. This will provide mobility and will dampen blower vibrations.

• Have the blower electrically wired to a wall switch in the same room for easy ON/OFF control.

The following diagram shows a typical exhaust system layout. Use this as a guideline to proper exhaust

system installation. Although this diagram just serves as an example, we recommend installation of the

exhaust system by a licensed contractor to meet safety and local code requirements as well as being able

to calculate the correct size blower required for your particular installation. Length of exhaust pipe,

exhaust pipe diameter, number of 90-degree angles, and other restrictions must be calculated when

determining the correct exhaust blower unit. Installing an undersized or oversized blower is not only

unsafe, but it can also lead to premature and excessive wear and tear to the laser system.
