All other use that does not comply with the correct use is prohibited. Avoid Misuse Do not place any objects or liquids on the Suprasetter. Ventilation outlets must be kept clear at all times. Do not use the Suprasetter as a seat. Suprasetter 145/162/190 – User’s Guide...
Qualification of the Users After installation, users will be instructed in the operation and service and maintenance of the Suprasetter by Heidelberg service personnel. Further instruction, for example, for new staff employed subsequently, must be ensured by the operator of the Suprasetter.
Power Switch with Emergency Cutoff Function The Suprasetter is fully cut off from the power supply by the power switch (red rotary switch). Suprasetter 145/162/190 – User’s Guide...
Before you start ... The power switch (red rotary switch) separates the Suprasetter's four poles from the power supply. In an emergency, this power switch is used as an emer- gency stop switch for the Suprasetter. Emergency Stop Switch All mechanical motions in the device are stopped and the invisible laser beam is switched off when the emergency stop switches (fully automated device: 8 units, semi-automated device: 4 units) are used.
Servicing may only be carried out by Heidelberg personnel who have been trained by appropriate laser protection officers for this purpose. Service and Maintenance Servicing may be done solely by persons who are authorized by Heidelberg to do so. The relevant accident prevention regulations must be observed at all times.
Before you start ... Safety Loop For your safety, the Suprasetter is equipped with a safety loop. If the safety loop is interrupted, e.g. by removing the insertion table, all mechanical motions are stopped and the invisible laser beam is switched off in the expo- sure head.
Caution: During the test no imaging jobs may be processed! In other words, no plates must be in the device and no jobs are waiting for pro- cessing. You must stop processing beforehand. Suprasetter 145/162/190 – User’s Guide...
Before you start ... Timeframe This displays the interval until the next regular safety loop test. ESD Protective Measures for Prepress Systems and Operators Basics Devices from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG are resistant to electrostatic discharges (within the limits of EN 55024:2001). In order to protect devices and users from being unnecessarily exposed to such discharges, we have listed a few tips below that will help reduce the frequency and intensity of the discharges.
For example, a relative humidity of 10 - 20% will produce 35,000 V when crossing a carpet. This value drops to 1,500 V with a relative air humidity of 65 - 90%. Suprasetter 145/162/190 – User’s Guide...
