The floor plan for placing and connecting the components of the Esko Kongsberg XN24s system should include the following:
1. System Placement: - The destination room must be large enough to fit the entire system. - Ensure sufficient maintenance clearance around the system. - Confirm that door openings and access ways are large enough for equipment entry. - Rigging equipment like a forklift and pallet truck should be available.
2. Electrical Connections: - Provide main power for the CAM table and vacuum pump. - Use short-circuit protection with fuses and insulation failure protection per local standards. - Required outlets: - Three-phase outlet for the vacuum pump. - Single-phase outlets for vacuum pump control, table, PC/monitor.
3. Compressed Air Supply: - Pressurized air outlet should be available. - Ensure the air source meets specifications for pressure, capacity, and moisture content.
4. Environmental Requirements: - Suitable floor material in the installation area. - Maintain proper temperature and humidity levels.
5. Safety and Noise Considerations: - Plan the machine location considering noise levels. - Provide hearing protection for operators. - DynaGuard Safety System should be unobstructed; it stops the system if safety beams are broken or if someone is too close.
6. Remote Diagnostics: - Install a “Direct Dial In” telephone line. - Provide a network connection for the front-end system.
The soft starter, chiller, and radiator are not specifically detailed in the context, but they should be placed close to their respective connection points, with proper spacing, ventilation, and access for maintenance.

2. Change record Description Date dd-mm-yy 16-03-2014 jhbe First version of the document 28-05-2014 jhbe Packaging information improved. Dimension drawings and tables has been improved. All relevant Extension table configurations are now described.
• Prepare the destination room. • Prepare all electrical supplies. • Prepare compressed air supply. If an air compressor is delivered from Esko, a suitable place for the unit should be prepared. • Prepare a suitable room for the vacuum pump. Due to its acoustic noise, the vacuum pump should be located in a room away from people.

Immediately after an item is unpacked, it must be inspected carefully for signs of damage. Note: We remind you that only the Esko Staff, or persons having received appropriate training, are allowed to handle, manipulate or do repairs on the system.
The goods are not to be opened without the presence of qualified Esko Service Engineer or partners. If damage is found while unpacking the unit, the Service Engineers from Esko need to make photos of this and sent it to shipper.

24. Direct Mains Connection, Guidelines A wall outlet for mains connection should be located in a position where it is visible from the equipment. Alternatively, a lockable Main Power ON/OFF switch can be installed. This to avoid main power accidentally being switched on while maintenance is carried out. All installations should be according to local regulations.
25. Site Prep Ready, Check List Dear Customer Proper preparation of the system site is perhaps the most important factor in the prevention of unnecessary delays and problems before, during and after the installation. Furthermore, a correctly planned and maintained system site will ensure an efficient and safe operating environment for your system, protecting your investment for many years to come.
