Enabling the Auto Shutoff

The FDM is equipped with an Auto Shutoff feature. Turning this feature on

causes the FDM to turn itself off after completing a model. The cooling fan will

remain on for 30 minutes to prevent backflow. To enable the Auto Shutoff

feature:

Press the “AUTO SHUTOFF” button once. The “Auto SO On” indicating the

feature is in use will be displayed in the information display.

The Keypad Display Panel

To disable the “AUTO SHUTOFF” feature:

Press the “AUTO SHUTOFF” button once. The message “Auto SO Off” will

appear in the information window display.

NOTE

: The FDM 3000 with WaterWorks Soluble Supports will auto-

matically lower the support Watlow temperature.
