Requirements
●
HP recommends a drum rotator that is ATEX-certified for zone 22.
●
The drum rotator is required to ensure proper grounding for the drum while rotating. It should be activated
before the material loading tank is used to supply fresh material to the processing station.
●
The recommended rotation speed is 20 rpm. The total rotation time for material loading tank preparation is
90 s.
Trolley
Material loading kits are heavy and require a lift trolley to be moved. You can use the same trolley that is used for
moving the external tanks.
Environmental specifications
Temperature during installation
20–30°C (68–86°F)
Operating temperature
20–30°C (68–86°F)
Storage and reshipping temperature
−25 to +55°C (−13 to +131°F)
Operating humidity
30–70% without condensation
Storage humidity
< 90% without condensation
Maximum altitude
2,000 m or 6,561.8 ft.
CAUTION:
Check the operating and storage conditions for the material, as they may be different from those for
the equipment.
Notes
●
The printer, build unit, and processing station should be kept indoors.
●
If the processing station or cartridges are moved from a cold location to a warm and humid location, water
from the air could condense on the processing station parts and cartridges, and could cause leaks and
errors. In this case, HP recommends that you wait at least 4 hours before turning on the processing station
or installing the cartridges, to allow the water to evaporate. Check for condensation before turning on the
system.
●
The material must acclimatize to the environmental conditions of the room for at least two days.
●
The build unit must remain in the same environmental conditions while moving to and from the printer and
the processing station. If it is exposed to different conditions at any time, the quality of its contents will be
affected.
●
The printer, build unit, processing station, and stored material should always be kept in the same
environmental conditions; HP recommends keeping them in the same room.
●
The room should be free from liquids and condensation.
