Unloading
The unloading area should be a level surface. An area of 10 m2 (108 sq ft) is required for the forklift to remove the printer from the delivery truck. A clearance of 120 cm (4 ft) around the back and sides of the packaging is required for unpacking the printer. The installation location must be accessible from the unloading area. The customer is responsible for unloading the printer from the truck and transferring it to the installation location. Minimum space requirements for unloading the printer are shown in the figure below.

Installation Area

Installation Area
· The installation area should be free of sources of vibration and electromagnetic interference that could affect the proper functioning of the printer.
· The floor gradient should be less than 0.5% (5 mm per meter).
· The floor should be stable and able to bear the load of the printer. The minimum floor load is 630 kg/m2 (129 lb/ft2).
· The server workstation and the printer should be located in the same room.
· The cable between the server workstation and the printer should not exceed 5 meters (16 feet). The communication cable provided should not be extended or replaced with a longer cable.
· Clearance around and above the printer should ensure convenient access and servicing.
· The printer has not been designed to meet water-ingress protection standards, nor is it recommended for the printer to be in an area where there is a high relative humidity (see "Environmental Conditions" on page 16). Therefore, Stratasys recommends a distance of approximately 5 m between the printer and any source of water (such as a cleaning station). However, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that this distance meets all local and/or regulatory requirements governing water-ingress protection and water-related electrocution hazards. Consult with an expert, as necessary.
· Shelves and cabinets are recommended near the printer for convenient storage of tools, parts, accessories, manuals, and materials.

To view the specifications for client workstations, go to: http://help.grabcad.com/print/systemrequirements.
GrabCAD Print Server
The GrabCAD Print Server is recommended and can be downloaded onto any computer within the same intranet network as the printer. The computer on which it is installed must have access to the Internet, and this must be prepared before installation. To view the recommendations for GrabCAD Print Server, go to: https://help.grabcad.com/article/201printing-monitoring-remotely
GrabCAD Streamline Pro
For GrabCAD Analyze, a computer is required and it must be prepared before installation. To view the computer specifications, go to: https://help.grabcad.com/article/262-system-requirementsfor-streamline-pro.

GrabCAD Analyze (Server and Agent) and GrabCAD Print Server can be installed on the same computer

Electrical Requirements

Electrical Requirements
The customer is responsible for ensuring that all tasks described in this section are performed by authorized personnel.
Power
A stable, reliable source of power is required. Power to the UPS (or printer) should be supplied directly from the main electrical panel. Other electrical outlets should not be connected to the line. Printer power rating: · 100120 VAC, 5060 Hz, 13.5 A, 1 phase · 220240 VAC, 5060 Hz, 7 A , 1 phase Printer short circuit rating: 1000 A
Important:
The diagram below shows the required connection to the power socket. Make sure that the electrician sees this before installing the printer.
Figure 5 Connection diagram

Grounding
The printer is grounded through a single-phase, AC plug. Make sure that the AC outlet is properly grounded, in accordance with local electrical codes. Neutral to ground rating: · 0 volts--not to exceed 3 volts

Stratasys J826

Electrical Requirements

Circuit Breaker

A circuit breaker (Type-C) with the following specification is required (subject to the local electrical code). Table 3 Circuit breaker

Voltage

Residual Current Device (RCD)
The wall outlet must be connected to a residual current device (RCD).
Power Connection
The customer must provide an appropriate power plug and have it installed by a certified electrician. The following electrical outlets are required: · two outlets behind the printer: the second outlet is for the GrabCAD Streamline Pro Shield security
device. The device includes a power adapter that is compatible with an EU or US plug. If this is not the local standard, it is the customer's responsibility to supply a compatible 5-Volt / 2-Amp, USB-C power adapter. · three outlets close to the printer (for the workstation, monitor, and servicing equipment)
UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)
It is mandatory that the printer is powered through a UPS unit, provided by the customer. This ensures that-- · the quality of printing is not affected by power fluctuations from the mains. · the printer computers can perform a "graceful shutdown" in the event of a power failure. The UPS specifications are listed below.

Environmental Conditions

Temperature and Humidity

The temperature and relative humidity around the printer must be maintained within certain limits. Peak conditions occur when the printer and the server workstation draw maximum electrical power, resulting in the heat dissipation listed in the table below.

Air Quality
The system should be installed in an office environment that is free from dust and debris. The printer enclosure has been designed to meet ingress protection code level 4 (IP4X), according to standard IEC60529. To ensure optimal air quality around the printer, a connection to an external ventilation duct is recommended (see "Accessories and Utilities" on the next page). Otherwise, the room ventilation system should change the air at least four times every hour.
Noise Level
The noise level around the printer is typically less than 65 dB during printing.

Stratasys J826

Accessories and Utilities

Start-Up Kit
The printer is supplied with a start-up kit, which includes tools and accessories. These tools and accessories should be available during printer installation and operation.

Exhaust Adapter

An exhaust adapter is supplied with the printer. When attached to the back of the printer and connected to an external ventilation fan with a duct, air expelled from the printer is discharged directly outdoors, as shown in the figure below.

It is recommended to install an eyewash station near the printer, for emergency use.

Stratasys J826

Accessories and Utilities

Compressed Air
Compressed air is useful for routine cleaning and maintenance activities. If a compressed air line is available at the site, it is recommended (but not required) that an outlet be installed near the printer.
Note:
If the compressed air line does not include an air-dryer unit, a water/oil trap must be installed on the air gun used for cleaning the printer. The recommended air pressure is 5-7 bar (70-90 PSI).

Fire Safety Equipment
A gas-based fire extinguisher is recommended in case of fire in or near the system. Some other fire extinguishers are also acceptable, but liquid fire extinguishers should not be used. Contact local fire authorities for specific recommendations.

Stratasys J826

Materials Handling and Storage
