OWNER'S MANUAL FOR EPILOG FiberMark ... - Epilog Laser

Section 3: Getting StartedConnecting the ExhaustIt is mandatory that an exhaust blower is hooked up and operating whenever yourlaser system is running a job. The exhaust blower removes the dust, debris andsmell from the engraving cavity and exhausts it to the outside of the building.You should never operate your laser system without a properly working exhaust.Prior to the installation of the laser system, a contractor should install the exhaustsystem. The blower should be mounted outside your building for noiseconsiderations. The blower should not be more than twenty feet (6 meters) fromthe laser. You should provide a rigid, smooth duct (either PVC or galvanizedsheet metal will do) from the blower to the vicinity of the laser. All Epilog model8000 laser systems require an exhaust fan that is rated at a minimum of 400 CFMat 6” of static pressure 680 M 3 /hr. at 150 mm of static pressure.Note: Remember to put the blower switch for the laser system in an obvious andaccessible place so it can be routinely switched on prior to using the engraver.Please connect the exhaust blower to the laser as shown below and on thefollowing pages.16
