Make sure the machine is well-ventilated.
• Normal lighting is sufcient to use the machine.
• Clear the work surface so that you can
- easily and quickly access all external parts of the machine,
- quickly gain access, in case of necessity, the general shutdown button (L) of the machine,
- make sure that all moving parts of the machine have enough room to move freely,
- avoid any accidental unplugging of the cables.
The machine’s power supply cable being used as a sectionning device, it must be easily
accessible and the wall plug must be installed near the machine and must also be easily
accessible.
• Protect Gravograph equipement against :
- Moisture (rain, snow, condensation…),
- Heat (direct sunlight, heating…),
- Brusque temperature changes,
- Dust (exhaust pipe),
- Liquid splashes, spillages on the electronic rack, cables and connections, and any other part of the machine;unless
recommended by GRAVOTECH MARKING SAS (ex. : lubrication),
- Vibrations,

Electric installation advice
This material is «class 1». The mains plug MUST always be connected to a neutral socket
and comply with the regulations in force in the country of installation. If you do not have
a plug of this type, have one installed by an approved electrician. Under no circumstances
should you depart from this instruction.
In order to avoid outside interference, the user is advised to carry out the following points.
• Plug the Gravograph machine into a mains line, avoiding having several machines on the same line (several plugs on
the same line or using a multi-plug).
Exception : If other things are connected to the machine (such as a machine and the computer which
pilots it), the machines should be connected to the same mains line.
• Avoid using the same line to supply inductive or capacitive machines as well as the Gravograph machine (motors,
electrosluices, chargers...)
• Avoid using a manual or automatic commutator on the same mains line as the Gravograph machine (relay, temporiser,
programmer, automatic circuit interrupter, automatic interrupter...).
• Check that machines surrounding your Gravograph machine are in conformity to the norms of radioelectric perturbation
emissions (consult the technical leaet of each machine). If they are not in conformity, place them as far away as
possible from the Gravograph machine.
• Only use Gravograph accessories.
