The BOS remains in the Disposing Powder state
while there’s powder to send. After the sifter stays
empty for more than 2 minutes, the BOS changes
to the
Stopping state, then the In Standby state.
Stopping
The BOS enters the Stopping state when:
✓
The sifter stays empty for more than 2
minutes while the BOS is any powder transfer
state, such as
Recycling Powder or Disposing
Powder .
✓
The sifter does not fill up in less than 2
minutes after you press
to perform a
manual powder transfer (from the hopper to
the sifter).
L
Pressing turns on the auger and sifter
motors at the bottom of the hopper. When the
BOS enters the
Stopping state, it stops both
these motors.
After the Stopping state, the BOS returns to In
Standby .
BOS in EStop
The BOS enters the BOS in EStop state when the
E-Stop button is pressed or when a BOS safety
interlock fails or is disabled. The BOS remains in
this state until the unsafe condition is removed
and either the emergency stop button is reset or
the safety interlock is enabled.
After that, the BOS automatically returns to the In
Standby state.

Never try to disable or override any
BOS safety interlock. Operating the
BOS without all safety interlocks
enabled can cause equipment
damage, injury, or death. If you
suspect a safety interlock is not
working properly, do not operate the
BOS. Rather, disconnect power from
the BOS and contact 3D Systems
Customer Support Hotline for
assistance.
