Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family Site Preparation Guide
Outdoor air ventilation must not be confused with air circulation in the room that
results from temperature control or humidity control. Outdoor air ventilation may
be roughly estimated to be 10% to 30% of the air circulation rate in the room. To
achieve adequate air mixing, Creo recommends at least 3 ACH (air changes per
hour).
These recommendations apply to a single device with no other equipment in the
room. Other imaging equipment, processors, ovens, HVAC systems, and so on,
may contribute additional emissions to the work environment, increasing the
amount of outdoor air ventilation required.
The customer is responsible for assessing the level of airborne emissions in the
room to ensure that, upon installation of the Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum
Family, the requirements of local, state, provincial, regional, and national
regulations for occupational health and safety are satisfied. In the event of any
uncertainty about the levels of airborne emissions, the customer should arrange for
an indoor air quality assessment to be conducted by a qualified industrial hygienist.
1. This is a default value. Certain media may require higher ventilation; to check the
recommended value for specific media, please seeseesee CTP Media Imaging
Performance Database (available from your Creo representative), where it will be
specified if different from default.
2. Information on the hazardous compounds released by a particular media during
imaging should be available from the media manufacturer’s Material Safety Data
Sheet or equivalent document.
