Overview

What you will learn

In this guide, you will learn how to wire and install the exhaust fan and task light for an EMP Fiber Laser.

When to do this

The EMP Fiber Laser auxiliary package is designed to extract fumes produced during engraving with the Fiber Laser, while enhancing visibility by illuminating the work area. These innovative accessories seamlessly integrate by plugging into the back of any EMP Fiber Laser, ensuring convenient operation.

What you need

  • Fan and Light Installation Kit
  • Allen Key Set (comes with machine)
  • #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver
  • Wire Snips
  • Wire Strippers

Wiring Procedure

NOTE: If your machine already has the relay installed and wired, skip the Wiring Procedure and proceed to the Fan and Light Mounting Procedure.

  1. Power OFF and unplug the machine.
  2. Use a 5 mm Allen key to remove the top plate mounting bolts (6). Keep these bolts safe as you'll need them for reassembly.

  6. Securely attach the relay inside the machine on the top plate, near the controller and relay boards. Press firmly to ensure the adhesive tape fully adheres.

    NOTE: Depending on your machine's model, position the relay to the left or right side of the controller board.

  8. Locate the wire labeled “24V V+” from the relay, as well as the “V+” ports on the PSU. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to mount the wire into the far right “V+” port on the PSU.

    NOTE: The port will have a wire connected to it already. Stack the new wire on top of the installed wire. Ensure both are seated fully before securing.

  9. Locate the wire labeled “24V V-” from the relay, as well as the “V-” ports on the PSU. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to mount the wire into the far right “V-” port on the PSU.

    NOTE: The port will have a wire connected to it already. Stack the new wire on top of the installed wire. Ensure both are seated fully before securing.

  20. Reinstall the side panel and top cover back onto the machine.

Fan and Light Mounting Procedure

  1. Retrieve the task light and orient it so you are able to access the mounting locks on the light mount. Spin the T slot nut mounting tabs so they are sitting vertically as pictured below.
