Protect The Probe
The probe is an essential accessory for dispensing. To ensure optimal performance:
Cleaning The V-One
Wet conductive ink can generally be wiped off using a paper towel or tissue. If inks get on your skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and warm water. Before handling the materials, be sure to refer to the material safety
data sheets available at voltera.io/msds.
Dried conductive ink that has not been baked can be cleaned by applying a small amount of isopropyl
alcohol and rubbing with a paper towel.
Conductive ink that has been baked is much more difficult to remove. Apply isopropyl alcohol to a burnishing
pad and rub vigorously. Repeat until the ink has been removed. Using sharp tools to remove the ink may
result in damage to the surface below or injury.
The V-One uses several limit switches for self calibration. To ensure optimal performance, clean these
switches regularly with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. Failure to do so may result in poor dispensing
quality and broken nozzles. It is recommended to perform cleaning before starting a workflow to avoid
calibration errors.
Transporting The V-One
When moving the V-One, do so by lifting by the base with two hands. Avoid lifting the machine by the bridge.
For long distance transportation or shipping, it is recommended to store the V-One upright in the original
packaging to avoid any damage during travel.
Replacement Fuse
In the even of a blown fuse in the power inlet, contact technical support as a blown fuse may be a symptom
of a more serious issue. Use the table below to select a suitable replacement.
100 – 120 VAC 200 – 240 VAC
Ratings 5A 250VAC 3A 250 VAC
Fuse Style 5 X 20 mm
Response Time Fast
Approvals IEC 60127
Note: Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the V-One before installing the replacement fuse.
Replacement Power Cable
Please check the product label on the back of the V-One before using the table below to select a suitable
replacement.
100 – 120 VAC 200 – 240 VAC
Length >= 1,8 m
Ratings > 250 V, > 10A
Termination C 14 to Plug Type B C 14 to Plug Style F
Do not drop the probe or attempt to disassemble it.
Ensure the probe is in a safe place with the cap securely in place when it is not in use.
Ensure the contact pads on the probe cap are clean, if necessary use a cotton swab and use
isopropyl alcohol to clean them.

Prepare The Dispenser Assembly
The V-One comes with 2 identical dispensers for the 2 ink cartridges: conductive ink and solder paste. Be
sure the dispenser’s plunger is fully retracted before assembling. If the plunger is too far out it can push ink
out during assembly.
Run The Software
Note: The V-One may require a firmware update on startup. Do not disconnect or turn off the V-One during
the firmware update!
Maintenance
Protect The Nozzle
The golden rule of high quality dispensing is to protect the dispensing nozzle. If the nozzle tip is dented,
bent, broken, or contaminated with dry ink, print quality will suffer. To ensure optimal performance, follow the
guidelines below:
A clogged nozzle can be identified by either no or inconsistent material flow. A clogged nozzle can be the
result of many factors including improper material storage, expired material, or a damaged nozzle.
Note: Do not try to clear the clog by force. This can puncture the piston in the cartridge. Before replacing the
nozzle, be sure to inspect the clogged nozzle for damage and inspect the material cartridge for its expiration
date.
Refrigerate The Inks
If the inks were left out by accident, we recommend that you purge the fluid in the nozzle by manually turning
the dispensing gear gently. If no fluid is coming out you must replace the nozzle.
The conductive ink and solder paste must be stored in a refrigerator or a cool place between 4-10°C (40-
50°F), with caps on, to preserve their shelf life. The probe can be stored at room temperature.
1. Remove the dispensing cap from the cartridge sheath. Remove the green lids from the conductive
ink cartridge.
2. Insert conductive ink cartridge into the sheath with the ink level visible through the viewing window.
3. Twist the dispensing unit back into the cartridge sheath.
4. Carefully twist the nozzle onto the end of the cartridge.
1. Connect the V-One to your computer with the provided USB cable.
2. Turn on the V-One by pressing the power button.
3. Open the desktop application software.
Gently wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue to remove material build-up before and after use.
Always store the dispenser with the tip cap on to prevent accidental damage
When removing the tip cap, twist to loosen and then pull straight away from the nozzle.
