INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
CAUTION
Install the machine on a sturdy floor.
The floor structure must be strong enough to bear the machine
weight (indicated on the spec. plate).
Prevent the operation noise in the environment.
To prevent the sound insulation performance of the factory in
addition to the operation with reduced noise of this machine,
use the interior finish materials which show high sound insulat-
ing performance for the walls, ceiling, and floor of the factory.
Avoid direct sunlight.
If the machine is exposed to direct sunlight over an extended
period of time, the machine body may be discolored or
deformed. Put curtains or shades to the site to prevent the
machine from direct sunlight.
Provide enough space for maintenance.
For the maintenance purpose, provide at least 50 cm clearance
around the machine (at the right, left, and backsides of the
machine).
Avoid dust and moisture.
Dust and moisture lead to dirt and rust on the machine. Install
air conditioning equipment, and periodically clean the working
area.
Use caution not to expose the machine to direct wind from the
air conditioner so that the embroidery threads do not become
disheveled.
Humidity: 30 to 95%RH (relative humidity) without condensa-
tion
Ambient temperature: 5 to 40°C (during operation),
-10 to 60°C (during storage)
