Warnings, Cautions, and Notes

Warnings

Failure to adhere to any of the warnings below could result in personal injury or damage to equipment. Improper use of PostProcess equipment may void the warranty. Read thoroughly before operating the machine. If the machine appears to be malfunctioning in any way, immediately push the EMERGENCY STOP button and refer to the Troubleshooting section of this guide. If the issue is not able to be resolved, call PostProcess support.

Caution should be used whenever working with electrically-powered equipment. If there is an emergency situation, it is important to note that hitting the POWER button does not turn off power to the DEMI 800 Series. It turns off the operating cycle only. To shut off power to the DEMI 800 Series, turn off the MASTER DISCONNECT SWITCH. For switch location, see image below under the “Electrical Safety” section.

Ventilation

PostProcess Technologies detergents are specifically formulated chemistry for maximized 3D printed support removal efficiency. It is recommended that the equipment be located in a well-ventilated room. Specific ventilation requirements can vary widely due to the size of the install room, existing ventilation (positive or negative) and differences in individual sensitivities to airborne scents or fragrances. For more information on the safe use of PostProcess detergents refer to the SDS for the specific detergent used.

Environmental Conditions

Operating Environment Requirements:

• Temperature: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104 °F)
• Relative humidity: 0% to 80%.
• Maximum altitude: 10,000 feet (3,048 meters)
• Pollution Degree 2
• Overvoltage Category II
  

Foreseeable Misuse

Do not operate the unit without proper grounding.
Do not place the power cord in a location where it may come into contact with water or liquids.
Do not heat or use PLM-402-SUB detergent at a temperature greater than 120°F (48.9°C). See Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information on PLM-402-SUB use.
Do not allow alcohol, gasoline or other flammable solutions near the machine. Doing so could cause a fire or explosion.
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the machine.
Connect the unit only to power specified in the Connecting power to the DEMI 800 Series section.
Use only PostProcess detergents. Do not add any other liquid solutions to the machine.
Do not operate the machine without sufficient detergent in the tank.

Residual Risks

	Wear laboratory-style protective glasses.
	When working with or near detergents, always wear protective gloves.
	The overall machine acoustics may exceed 70dB. It is recommended to wear hearing protection.

• Do not touch the detergent with bare skin. Use protective gloves, laboratory-style eyeglasses, and other necessary personal protective equipment when performing any operations including removing parts where skin could come into contact with the detergent.
• If bare skin comes in contact with detergent, at minimum thoroughly wash the body part with soap and warm, clean water. Always follow safety protocols outlined in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
• It is recommended that an eyewash station is near the DEMI 800 Series and any detergent storage areas.

Electrical Safety

Caution should be used whenever working with industrial-powered equipment. If there is an emergency situation, it is important to note that hitting the EMERGENCY STOP button does not turn off power to the DEMI 800 Series. It turns off the DEMI 800 Series’s operating cycle only. To shut off power to the DEMI 800 Series, turn off the MASTER DISCONNECT SWITCH, located on the rear panel of the DEMI 800 Series as highlighted in green below.

Master Disconnect Switch Location

*The EMERGENCY STOP button should only be used in actual emergency situations. For any other situation requiring the machine to be powered down, use the MASTER DISCONNECT SWITCH.
