Page 21: General
The equipment conforms to current technology and approved safety requirements. Domino F-Series Laser marking systems are produced by Domino Laser GmbH Germany. For Sales and support contact Domino. This safety standard, however, can only be achieved if all intended and required measures have been taken and are constantly observed.
Page 22: Designated Use
HEALTH & SAFETY DESIGNATED USE The F-Series laser marking system is exclusively designated for fully automated marking of packaging materials and products by laser radiation. If the laser marking system is used for improper purposes, all liability claims will be refused. The technical specifications listed in “TECHNICAL REFERENCE”...
Page 23 HEALTH & SAFETY Before turning the laser equipment on, check and ensure that: • The laser system has been installed and guarded to Class 1 laser safety standards (EN60825), see “GUARDING” on page 1-13 • Only authorised personnel should be present within the operating area of the laser marking system.
Page 24: Safety Symbols
HEALTH & SAFETY SAFETY SYMBOLS In this manual the following safety symbols have been used to alert the reader to the text of the safety instruction next to it. This manual provides specific safety instructions for the operation of the laser marking system.
Page 25: Specific Dangers
HEALTH & SAFETY SPECIFIC DANGERS Electrical Energy In the F-Series laser marking system, the maximum operating voltage is the connected mains voltage, which can pose a hazard to health. The mains voltage to be maintained is shown on the name plate. Work on live components must only be performed by authorised personnel.
Page 26: Protective Safety Goggles
This my lead to instant blindness. Protective Safety Goggles Domino recommends the following safety goggles: • Protection against laser radiation: between 1040nm and1200nm. • Energy: 2mJ • Pulse length: 1-500ns, repetition rate: 1-1000kHz •...
Page 27: Harmful Dust And Vapours
HEALTH & SAFETY Harmful Dust and Vapours When radiating materials by means of a laser, harmful dust and vapours can be produced. The user is responsible for appropriate measures, e.g. an exhaust system, to reduce such harmful dust and vapours to a level that complies with the allowed maximum concentration of pollutants at the work place.
Page 28: Laser Marking Process
HEALTH & SAFETY Laser Marking Process Potential fire risks could result from examples as listed below. This list is not considered to be complete. Local conditions must be considered as well. • Printing on not specified material (e.g. easily inflammable or explosive materials).
Page 29: Simmer Mode
The water out of the laser cooling plate is the final water out of the laser marking system. An optional water chiller (part number L015148) is available from Domino. Simmer Mode The fibre laser has a simmer mode to ensure fast laser coding. As soon as the laser is switched on there will be always a laser power output of below 5 mW present.
Page 30: Lifting And Moving The Controller
The controller weighs over 40 kg. A 2 man lift is required. An optional mobility kit (Domino part number EPT031573) with 4 castors is available to assist moving the controller. For lifting, four hooks are supplied with the laser system which may be mounted to the four top corners of the controller (as shown below)..
Page 31: Guarding
HEALTH & SAFETY GUARDING The following type of guarding, using the recommended materials and construction techniques, is required to achieve a safe installation. Never install a fibre laser in such a way that the lens points to a door or in the direction of an operator.
Page 32: Beam Stop Guard
HEALTH & SAFETY Beam Stop Guard A beam stop guard is required for applications where guarding material is fitted within 100mm of the laser lens focal plane. The beam stop is to prevent burn through of the guard should the laser be repeatedly operated without the substrate in position.
Page 33: Interlock Switches
Cable will be subject to high levels of acceleration, torsion and twist, or combination thereof. If this is a requirement for the integration, please contact Domino to discuss the application in more detail. The minimum bend radius for the fibre is r= 75mm.
Page 34: Guarding Labels
These labels are supplied with the laser system. Additional labels are available from Domino Printing Sciences plc as part of the Guarding Labels Kit, Part Number L007628. Specific Precautions During Maintenance or Repair Work F-Series laser marking systems are Class 4.

Page 57 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The Shaft Encoder input is directly connected in parallel with the Product Detect Interface. For this reason the electrical specification is identical as well. For the same reason, the standard encoder cable has no “Z” connection in order not to get signal collision with the product detector. If needed e.g. in labeller applications, the isolated leads may be soldered to the scheduled pins, or a fully connected cable (Z- version) may be ordered.

Page 61: The Compile Ok Signal
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The Compile OK Signal The sequence of the Compile OK signal normally follows the ready signal. The Compile OK signal goes into high state together with or later than the ready signal - depending on the compile time of the current printing message: There are only two cases where the CPI signal goes into low state and the RDY signal stay at high state.
Page 62 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Changes that will not lower the CPI output: • BUFFERDATA via Dynamark Interface • conditional printing via user input • counter increment via print start • date/time text elements Note that the changes via Dynamark Interface have in common that they trigger MSG 26 (“data change complete”, see SETMSG) and that they can be used as part of a transaction in order to process multiple changes as one (see BEGINTRANS, EXECTRANS).

Page 85: With Shutter
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS With Shutter The fibre laser may be optionally equipped with a laser beam attenuator. This mechanical shutter is part of the fibre laser safety concept. The shutter is located between laser source and scan head and electrically connected with the fibre laser controller box.
Page 86 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The shutter option has to be activated in the install options dialogue. The following components are parts of the safety system: At the customer’s machine: • Two independent safety switches at the guard door In the controller: • Safety relay PNOZ mm0p from Pilz (only for shutter option) •...
Page 87 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Safety control flow: The guard doors and the shutter are monitored by the certified programmable safety relay PNOZ mmOp from Pilz. If the system is working correctly, the shutter will be closed when the guard door is opened. The guard door is secured by means of 2 independent switches, giving the system a level of built in redundancy.
