This section will give you step-by-step instructions for site preparation and computer and software setup. Follow the
instructions in the order shown.
CAUTION: Damage to the VLS system due to inadequate or improper operating environment
is not covered under the Universal Laser Systems (ULS) Warranty. See the ULS Warranty for
additional information. The ULS Warranty can be found in your Reference Guide book-
let. Should you require a copy of the Warranty, please contact your local Customer Service at

Environment (User Supplied)
The laser system must be installed in an o ce, laboratory, workshop or light duty manufacturing environment. 1.
Dusty or dirty environments can damage the laser system. Keep the laser system isolated from any processes
hat produce airborne particles such as sandblasting, sanding, machining, etc. Also, keep the VLS system
isolated from any equipment requiring mists of oil or water for lubrication. Airborne dust and liquids can coat and
damage optics and motion system components.
Avoid small, enclosed, non-ventilated areas. Some materials, after laser engraving or cutting, continue emitting 2.
fumes for several minutes after processing. Having these materials present in a con ned, unventilated room can
create a health hazard.
For best results, since the lasers are air-cooled, we recommend operating the laser system between the ambient 3.
temperatures of 73ºF (22ºC) and 77ºF (25º C).
Avoid storing the laser system outside the temperatures of 50ºF (10ºC) and 95ºF (35º C) as excessively cold or4.
hot temperatures can damage the laser cartridge or reduce its lifetime.
Ambient humidity levels must be non-condensing to protect optics.5.
The laser system should be at least 2 feet (610 mm) away from any wall or obstruction.6.
