Operation 31
Powering Off Dimension
To power-off Dimension, move the power switch to the OFF
position (see
Figure 6 on page 20 ). You can do this at any time
without harming the printer. No other steps are necessary. If this is
done while the printer is building a part, the current build will be
lost. System cooling fans will continue to operate for several
minutes. This ensures a safe, systematic power down.
NOTE
For extended non-use periods, unload the material cartridges
and then power off the system.
Cycling Power
Situations may occur that require the removal of all power to the
Dimension system followed by a restart. This section discusses the
procedure for this ‘cycling’ of the electrical system.
Cycle power:
1. Move the power switch to the OFF position (see Figure 6 on
page 20 ). Wait for the printer to completely power down.
2. Move the circuit breaker located on the rear of the cabinet to
the OFF (down) position.
3. Wait ten seconds and then move the circuit breaker to the ON
(up) position.
4. Move the power switch to the ON position.
5. Wait for the system to prepare itself for normal operation.
NOTE
When the system is ‘cycled’ in this manner, it may take up to 15
minutes for it to reach its normal operating state.
