If your line voltage is much lower than the oven voltage rating, warm up time will be longer and motors may overload or run hot. If your line voltage is higher than nameplate rating, the motor may run hot and draw excessive amps. If the line voltage varies more than 10% from the oven voltage rating, some electrical components such as relays, temperature controls, etc.

Page 14: Operation
6.0 Operation This section describes how to load parts in the finisher when you are ready to remove bulk support material. It also describes how to start finishing cycle and provides detailed operating instructions for the TEMP CONTROL and HI LIMIT control. -
Page 15: Oven Theory
Oven Theory The oven has an efficient forced circulating oven to 204°C (400°F). A forced circulating oven relies on a circulating motor to move air through the chamber, which is much more efficient and uniform than a gravity convected oven. In addition, it takes a finite amount of time for the oven to soak in at the desired setpoint. -
Page 16: Theory Of Operation
Theory of Operation The finisher makes removing bulk support material from VisiJet parts efficient and easy. Forced airflow and precision temperature control deliver faster, shorter, and more predictable VisiJet part finishing times. Temperature stability The Finisher design moves convected heat through stainless steel ducts on each side of the oven chamber. A high- volume fan circulates air. -
Page 17: Before Starting
Before Starting Read and follow all guidelines in the Safety section. • Open exhaust damper for proper operation at VisiJet part finishing setpoint temperature, 70°C to 75°C • (158°F to 167°F). Verify that exhaust, fan, and vent openings are not obstructed. •... -

The display will read CtL. The SP LED will flash indicating that Operating Parameter mode has been entered 3. -
Page 19: Changing Display From °C To °F For Hi-Limit Control
Changing Display From °C To °F for Hi-Limit Control The HI-LIMIT can be configured for either °C or °F. Use the following steps to change HI-LIMIT from displaying °C to °F (and for changing back to°C). 1. If the HI-LIMIT is lit, press and hold the "RESET" for (4) seconds to enable the UP and DOWN arrows. 2. -
Page 20: Temp Control Settings
Temp Control Settings The Finisher has been tested and preset at the factory for normal operating conditions. In most applications, it will not be necessary to alter the Finisher's settings, except for the TEMP CONTROL setpoint. This section contains information and reference material to change the setpoint, change the display from°C to°F, and access the control's operating and set-up parameters. -
Page 21: Temp Control Instrument
• NOTE: 3D Systems recommends a TEMP CONTROL setpoint between 70°C and 75°C (158°F and 167°F). To ensure good support material liquid flow, this setpoint is above the VisiJet® support material melting point of 55°C to 65°C (131°F to 149°F). However, it... -
Page 22: Hi Limit Control Settings
HI LIMIT Control Settings The Finisher has been tested and the HI LIMIT preset at the factory for normal operating conditions. In most applications, it will not be necessary to alter the Finisher's settings, except for the HI LIMIT setpoint (HSP1). This section describes how to change the HILIMIT setpoint, access the HILIMIT control's parameter settings, and how to change the HI LIMIT control's display between°Cand°F. -
Page 23: Hi-Limit Instrument
HI-LIMIT Instrument The finisher is equipped with a HI-LIMIT instrument. The purpose of the HI-LIMIT instrument is to provide a protective measure for the product and/or the finisher itself.

Page 25: Parameter Setup Mode
Parameter Setup Mode The HI-LIMIT parameters are set through the Operating and Set-up modes. In most applications, it is not necessary to alter these settings. The following instructions describe how to access, view and, if desired, change the parameters. If the LOCK on the HI-LIMIT is lit, press and hold the RESET key for four (4) seconds to enable the UP and DOWN keys. The HI-LIMIT will automatically exit the Setup mode if no keys are pressed for about two (2) minutes. -
Page 26: Parameter Programming Mode
Parameter Programming Mode The control parameters are set through the Operating and Set-up modes. In most applications, it is not necessary to alter the finisher settings. The following instructions describe how to access, view and, if desired, change the parameters. Once the Operating and Set-up modes are accessed, the SP LED will start blinking on and off. -
