Refilling Wax Supply
Adding wax to the WaxJet system can be accomplished without
interrupting the printing process. When adding wax to the WaxJet
Wax Reservoir, it is important that overflow conditions are avoided.
When hot wax spills into the housing assembly, damage to internal
wiring and/or the heater assembly is likely to occur. The following
guidelines should aid in maximizing operating parameters.
•
New system received from FoxJet will typically contain
approximately 220-240 ml of wax. The grate in the reservoir
will become visible when the wax level falls below 200 ml.
•
Only add wax cubes when reminded by an “WAX LOW”
indicator.
•
When adding wax cubes after an “WAX LOW” indicator light,
add no more than 6 cubes.
•
WAX LOW will occur when the wax level falls to
approximately 80-90 ml. Low wax conditions will be displayed
on the keyboard display or by the External Low Wax Alarm
Beacon. It is important that wax is added to he supply when an
wax low occurs. Adding six 40 ml cubes will fill the tank to 320
ml.
•
Maintaining a constant wax level will enhance the wax flow
capabilities of the wax system.
WARNING
NEVER allow wax level to rise to less than 3/8” from top of
metal wax reservoir.
