Power cables
No power cable is provided with the printer. The cables that you use must meet the minimum specifications for
the chosen configuration explained for each configuration.
PE connections for mains power should be made through an M8 stub.
The power cable for PC power can be routed from above the right of the top cover; it can be routed from the
ceiling.
Powerline disturbances
Reliable operation of your printer depends on the availability of relatively noise-free AC power.
In order to ensure optimum performance and reliability, your printer should be protected from variations in
line voltage, which are common to production printing environments. Lighting, line faults, or the power
switching commonly found in machinery in factory environments can generate line transients that far
exceed the peak value of the applied voltage. If not reduced, these micro-second pulses can disrupt system
operation.
If the power line supplying the installation site is a public low voltage line shared with other users, the
power line impedance Zmax must be less than 93 mΩ, to comply with European standard EN/IEC
61000-3-12. If other users on the same power line report any flickering of incandescent light bulbs,
contact your electricity supplier to verify that the power network has an impedance lower than the one
specified above.
It is recommended to include overvoltage (OVP) and transient protection on the power supply to the printer.
All electrical noise generating equipment, like fans, fluorescent lighting, and air-conditioning systems,
should be kept separate from the power source used for your printer.
Grounding
The printer must be connected to a good quality, dedicated ground line in order to avoid electrical risk. Please
note your obligation to comply with the National Electrotechnical Code (NEC) in the county of installation.
The following grounding tasks must be fulfilled to meet the site preparation requirements:
Grounding wires should be insulated and at least equal in size to the phase conductors.
Ground impedance must be less than 0.5 Ω.
