Cooling Requirements and Operating Temperatures
2. Choose Where to Locate the System
All Epilog Laser systems use air-cooled laser tubes. Laser technology is such that the laser tubes generate a lot of excess
heat and the tubes must be cooled for proper operation. There are cooling fans located at the back of the laser. The fans
and vents should always be clear of restrictions and should never be covered. Use compressed air to remove any dust
buildup on the fans or laser cooling fins.
Warning: The cooling fans and vents are located on top and back of the Mini and Helix and should never
be covered or blocked in any way. Lasers that overheat will not operate properly and may begin to produce
erratic laser output or possibly complete failure.
Cooling Fans
°Wing Vents
Ambient air temperature where the laser system is operating should not exceed 90 degrees F (32 C).
Operating in an environment where the ambient air temperature is above 90 degrees F (32 C) will void the
Epilog warranty.
In this manual, the term "exhaust" refers to either an exhaust fan or a filter unit and the term "exhaust" is used for
simplicity. The important point is that it is mandatory that an exhaust unit or filter system is incorporated as part of your
laser system. Never operate your laser system without a properly functioning exhaust. The exhaust removes the dust,
debris and smell from the engraving cavity and exhausts it to the outside of the building or to the filter unit. Prior to the
installation of the laser system, you may need a contractor to install the exhaust system. The blower should be mounted
outside your building for noise considerations. Ideally, the blower should not be more than twenty feet (6 meters) from
the laser. You should provide a metal duct (flexible aluminum or galvanized sheet metal) from the blower to the laser. All

3. Connecting the Exhaust
Epilog model 8000 laser systems require an exhaust fan that is rated at a minimum of 350 CFM for an external exhaust.
Epilog provides recommended exhaust flow rates (CFM) only for direct ventilation exhaust systems that are ported to the
outside. Please note that this is also a recommendation and not a requirement because factors such as length and type
of tubing from the Epilog laser to the exhaust fan and from the exhaust fan to the outside of the building can produce
significant losses on the true amount of air that is drawn from the Epilog laser.
Exhaust flow rates (CFM) for filter systems are not specified in this document. However, exhaust flow rates for filtration
units will be lower than a direct ventilation exhaust systems because filters are designed to be placed directly adjacent to
the laser system and do not exhibit the air -flow losses that are typically found with direct exhaust fans. Epilog has worked
with most major filter manufacturers to recommend a specific filter system for each model of Epilog laser. Please contact
your Epilog distributor to match a filter to the Epilog laser system you are using.
Note: Remember to put the blower switch for the laser system in an obvious and accessible place so it can be
routinely switched on prior to using the engraver... Please connect the exhaust blower to the laser as shown
below and on the following pages. Remember, you may need a contractor to install the exhaust. This must be
done PRIOR to installation of the laser system.
Warning: It's important that either rigid or flexible
metal ducting be used for all connections leading to
and from the laser system and the exhaust fan. Vinyl,
plastic, or any type of "soft" ducting is potentially flammable and
should not be used unless provided by the filtration system
manufacturer and made from fire -proof materials.

Epilog Exhaust/Filter Connections
As part of the unpacking process you will find a 4" (100mm) exhaust port in the accessories kit. This part needs to be
attached to the rear of the system chassis before connecting the Exhaust blower to the system.
The mounting screws for the exhaust port are in the mounting holes in
the chassis. Remove these four screws, align the exhaust port to the
mounting holes and secure the exhaust port with the four screws. There
is one 4 (102 mm) port attached to the back of the laser system. Attach
your ducting to the machine as shown in the diagram.
Once the exhaust ports are installed on the back of the laser system,
use the flexible aluminum or galvanized sheet metal ducting to connect
the laser system to the intake side of the exhaust fan. Then connect the exhaust side of the exhaust fan to the metal duct
leading outside.

4. Connecting Electrical Power
Check your exhaust system for Teaks. Most small leaks can be remedied with duct tape. DO NOT OPERATE
your laser with inadequate or leaking exhaust.
The drawings show the typical exhaust setup. The left drawing shows the exhaust near the machine and the right drawing
shows the exhaust fan on the roof. Where the exhaust fan is placed is a choice of personal preference. Some users like the
exhaust fan outside because of noise considerations.

All Epilog Laser systems have an auto -switching power supply that detects the incoming
voltage and automatically switches itself to operate properly at any single-phase voltage
between 110 and 240 VAC. The power supply will also automatically compensate for either 50
or 60 Hz. Epilog supplies the appropriate power cord for all of our equipment. The electrical
cord is found in the accessory package with your machine. It is recommended that a dedicated
15 amp circuit be used if available, but it is not required.
The 60 and 75 watt machines draw more current than the lower wattage lasers. These systems
can operate on 110 volts, but most users find that a 220 V connection is more efficient. The
electrical connection is found at the lower left side of the machine.
