Safety questions and answers
Read and follow the operating and safety instructions before turning on the equipment.
Can the printer and processing station operate in unattended mode? Can they be
unsupervised during operation?
The printer can operate in unattended mode in this sense: for operations that do not require any manual
interaction, such as during the printing process, there is no need to have a trained operator close to the printer.
However, the system requires its operation to be supervised at all times. The reason for this requirement is that
this equipment uses high power levels. Therefore, in order to protect the system and the customer’s
environment, in the unlikely event of unexpected environmental change, unexpected malfunction, anomaly, ESD
(ElectroStatic Discharge), or electromagnetic interference, as explained in the user guide, someone needs to
press the emergency stop button and disconnect the equipment. For this reason, operation should be
supervised in some way (periodic checks, security cameras, or equivalent). However, supervision can be done by
someone who is not trained to operate the system, such as a standard security service. This needs to be done
from the first day of system installation.
Are there any requirements for the room in which the printer and processing station are
installed?
Both the printer and the processing station should be installed in ordinary locations only. An ordinary location is
a location that is not expected to have combustible dust clouds, and therefore it does not need any specific
protection against explosions. The opposite would be a hazardous location or ATEX-classified zone, in which you
can expect to find combustible dust clouds, and which is therefore generally constructed to resist explosions
caused by an ignition source close to the dust clouds.
The equipment should be installed in ordinary locations for these reasons:
●
The equipment does not create a hazard in the area in which it is installed:
–
It has been designed to minimize material spillage, and we expect regular cleaning maintenance by
the operators, therefore any spillage is unlikely to reach a concentration causing a potentially
explosive atmosphere around the equipment.
–
There are no effective ignition sources inside the equipment.
●
The equipment is not designed to be used in explosive atmospheres, therefore it should not be installed in
a hazardous location or ATEX-classified zone.
Therefore, the printer and processing station do not require any specific setup in the room to make it safe
against potential explosions, as they do not create such a risk; but they should be protected against any risks
created by other equipment installed nearby.
