Objet1000 Plus Shipment and Delivery Unloading The unloading area should be a level surface. A clearance of at least 50 cm (19.7 in.) from the top of the printer is required for lifting the printer onto a forklift. The lifting height of the printer is at least 20 cm (7.8 inches). The installation location must be accessible from the unloading area. A professional mover is responsible for unloading the printer from the truck and transferring it to the installation location. The forklift extensions and the p rinter's center of gravity are shown in the figures below. Warning: Lifting Hazard Do not lift the printer from the sides. Do not lift the printer from the front. The printer's center of gravity is near the back of the printer. The forklift extensions and the p rinter's center of gravity are shown in the figures below. Figure 2 Forklift position...

Objet1000 Plus Installation Area Installation Area The installation area should be free of sources of vibration and electromagnetic interference that could affect the proper functioning of the printer. The floor gradient should be less than 0.5% (5 mm per meter). The floor should be stable and able to bear the load of the printer. The area around the printer should remain dry at all times. Shelves and cabinets are recommended near the printer for convenient storage of tools, parts, accessories, manuals, and materials. Floor Plan (Printer Area) The following is a sample floor plan, showing the 3D printing system. The dimensions shown in the figure a re the minimum clearance requirements. Figure 4 Printer floor plan (sample, not to scale) Make sure that the printer is on the same level as the area surrounding it. If the printer is positioned above or below the area surrounding it, it might not be possible to attach the unloading cart.

Objet1000 Plus Electrical Requirements Electrical Requirements The customer is responsible for ensuring that all tasks described in this section are performed by qualified personnel. Power A stable, reliable source of power is required. Power to the UPS should be supplied directly from the main electrical panel. The power line should not be connected to other electrical outlets. Printer input power rating: ± • 230 VAC 2%, 50–60 Hz, 1 phase • Full load current: 8 A • Short circuit rating: 15 A Printer short circuit rating: 10,000 A If the power at the facility does not support the above specifications, contact your Stratasys specialist. Important: The diagram below shows the required connection to the power socket. Make sure that the electrician sees this before installing the printer. Figure 6 Connection diagram Grounding The printer is grounded through a single-phase, AC plug. Make sure that the AC outlet is properly grounded, in accordance with local electrical codes.
Objet1000 Plus Electrical Requirements Circuit Breaker A Type-C circuit breaker with the following specification is required on the power line (subject to the local electrical code). Table 3 Circuit breaker Voltage Circuit Breaker 220-240 VAC 16 A Residual Current Device (RCD) The wall outlet must be connected to a residual current device (RCD). Power Connection The following diagram shows how to connect the printer to the local power supply. Figure 7 Electrical connection The following electrical outlets are required: • one outlet (C19) behind the printer w ired directly to the UPS • three outlets close to the printer (for servicing equipment)
Objet1000 Plus Electrical Requirements UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) It is mandatory that the printer is powered through a UPS unit, provided by the customer.This ensures that— • the quality of printing is not affected by power fluctuations from the mains. • the printer computers can perform a “graceful shutdown” in the event of a power failure. The UPS specifications are listed below. Table 4 UPS Requirements Output Output Power Capacity 2100 W (minimum) Nominal Output Voltage 230 VAC ± ± Output Frequency (sync to mains) 50/60 Hz 3 Hz user adjustable Topology Double conversion online Waveform type Sine wave ± AC output static voltage regulation Output Connections IEC 320 C19 Batteries & Runtime Bridging time Minimum 60 minutes at 1500 W Interface port(s)
Objet1000 Plus Communication Lines Communication Lines Local Area Network A LAN communication cable is required for connecting to the printer via remote workstations. Telephone A telephone near the printer i s recommended for general communication and service calls.
Objet1000 Plus Environmental Conditions Environmental Conditions Temperature and Humidity The temperature and relative humidity around the printer must be maintained within certain limits. Peak conditions occur when the printer draws maximum electrical power, resulting in the heat dissipation listed in the table below. Table 5 Heat dissipation (peak conditions) Heat Dissipation Printer 6278 BTU/hr The room temperature and relative humidity should not exceed the limits listed in the table below. Table 6 Room temperature and relative humidity specifications Range Temperature 18°C to 25°C (64.5°F to 77°F) Relative humidity 30%–70% non-condensing Air Quality To maintain the air quality around the printer, a connection to an external ventilation duct is required. Noise Level The noise level around the printer is typically less than 85 dB during printing.
Objet1000 Plus Accessories and Utilities Accessories and Utilities Start-Up Kit The printer is supplied with a start-up kit, which includes tools and accessories. These tools and accessories should be available during printer installation and operation. Exhaust Adapter An exhaust adapter is supplied with the printer. When attached to the back of the printer and connected to an external ventilation fan with a duct, air expelled from the printer is discharged directly outdoors, as shown in the figure below. Required Suction at the Exhaust Adapter Duct Diameter Minimum Maximum 4 in (100 mm) 212 cfm (6 m /min) 269 cfm (7.6 m /min) Figure 8 Printer exhaust system...
Objet1000 Plus Accessories and Utilities E yewash Station It is recommended to install an eyewash station near the printer, for emergency use. Build Tray Unloading Cart A cart is provided for moving the build tray between the printer and the cleaning unit. Figure 9 Build-tray cart The table below lists the specifications of the build-tray cart. Table 7 Cart specifications Load capacity 300 Kg (662 lbs.)
Objet1000 Plus Accessories and Utilities Compressed Air Compressed air is useful for routine cleaning and maintenance activities. If a compressed air line is available at the site, it is recommended (but not required) that an outlet be installed near the printer. Note: If the compressed air line does not include an air-dryer unit, a water/oil trap must be installed on the air gun used for cleaning the printer. The recommended air pressure is 5-7 bar (70-90 PSI). Fire Safety Equipment A gas-based fire extinguisher is recommended in case of fire in or near the system. Some other fire extinguishers are also acceptable, but liquid fire extinguishers should not be used. (Contact local fire authorities for specific recommendations.)
Objet1000 Plus Materials Handling and Storage Materials Handling and Storage Printing Materials Printing materials should be stored indoors, in a dry area with adequate ventilation. The following table lists general requirements for transport, storage, inventory control, and disposal. Table 8 Requirements for hazardous materials Topic Requirement Storage 15°C to 27°C (59°F to 81°F) Inventory control method First In First Out (FIFO) Disposal In compliance with local regulations These specifications are applicable for most printing materials. Requirements for handling and storing specific materials appear in the Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) included with each material. No more than five crated containers can be stacked on top of each other. Note: • Non-compliance with these recommendations might result in reduced shelf life. • Disposal of all liquid and solid waste, cleaning cloths, gloves, and empty material containers must be done in accordance with local laws and regulations. Cleaning Solvent One liter of isopropanol (IPA) or ethanol (ethyl alcohol) should be available at all times for cleaning purposes. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the material storage area complies with local regulations.
