Technical protective measures
2.7.1
Main switch
Pressing the main switch on the backside of the machine to disconnect the machine from the mains power supply.
2.7.2
Key switch
Turning the key switch counterclockwise powers off the motor, laser source and electric system. Through the key switch,
operation by non-authorized personnel can be prevented.
2.7.3
Temperature sensor
The temperature sensors ensure reliable temperature monitoring of the interior of the machine and are available as
additional option.
If a preset temperature value is exceeded, an acoustic alarm continuously sounds to warn the operator of abnormal
temperature trends during processing.
Warning
Fire hazard
The acoustic alarm upon startup of the machine indicates that the sensors are operating properly.
However, the sensors do not guarantee fire prevention.
–
The unit must not operate unattended despite the integrated temperature sensors.
–
If the acoustic alarm does not sound when the machine is switched on, check the functionality of the
sensors.
