Figure 2: Footprint of Lotem 400/Lotem 400 Quantum platesetter
Provide an area close to the device for storing media (for immediate use), disks,
paperwork, and so on.
Debris Removal Cabinet
Certain printing media (plates or film) may release airborne emissions during the
imaging process. Creo output devices are supplied with—or may be able to be
upgraded to—a debris removal system containing a collection nozzle located on
the head and a filtration unit, such as the Universal Debris Removal Cabinet
(UDRC).
WARNING: Emissions, either particulate or gaseous, that are not properly filtered can
endanger your health. For a list of airborne emissions that pertain to the media you are
using, see the media MSDS or contact the media manufacturer or distributor directly.
The debris removal system is designed to extract and filter the airborne emissions,
thus contributing to a healthier working environment, consistent image quality,
and general reliability and cleanliness of the imaging device. Some types of media
typically release both particulate and gaseous emissions. Other types of media,
under certain imaging conditions, may release largely particulate emissions.
WARNING: Filtration of airborne emissions is not 100% efficient and must be
complemented by adequate outdoor air room ventilation. Failure to ensure adequate
ventilation may result in exposure to airborne emissions in excess of applicable regulatory
limits and in possible discomfort, illness, injury, and/or disability.
The UDRC configuration may include various filter options tailored to suit specific
qualified media types. The configuration for a particular customer site is typically
specified in a Creo proposal, sales agreement, order form, product specification, or
equivalent document.
The cabinet must be located within the cable and hose limitations.
For more information on the debris removal cabinet, please see the UDRC Site
Preparation and Requirements document (725-00089A).
Site Requirements 9
Environmental Conditions
Install the device in a clean prepress area wherever possible. It is not advisable to
install the device in a pressroom environment.
The operating environment for the Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family
devices must be:
Te m p e r a t u r e 2 0
o
—30oC (68o–86oF)
Humidity 55%—± 5% RH, non-condensing
Note: Some media types may restrict the operating environment of the Lotem 400 /
Lotem 400 Quantum Family devices. Consult the media manufacturer for their
recommended temperature and humidity ranges for plate operation and storage.
For the UDRC operating environment, please see the UDRC Site Preparation and
Requirements document (725-00089A).
Floors
The floor must be level and not subject to high levels of vibration. If the customer
site is close to heavy car or rail traffic routes, or is near an industrial site, the device
may be exposed to high levels of vibration through the floor.
10 Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family Site Preparation Guide
Electrical
The dedicated branch circuit for the following components must be supplied from
the same AC supply panel to ensure that both branch circuits are at the same
ground potential:
• Output device main power
• Wor ks tat ion ma in p owe r
Figure 3 shows the configuration of the receptacles used by the output devices and
peripheral equipment.
5-15R IEC320IEC309 L6-20R
Figure 3: Receptacles used on output devices
Power Quality
Before installing the device, a power monitor should be placed at the site to
measure power quality for one week
1
. If the power quality at the customer site is
outside Creo specifications (+6%/–10%), the customer should purchase a line
conditioner, 3000 VA, for the Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family circuit
from a local supplier.
If there are concerns about power quality (blackouts or brownouts) at the
customer site, an online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) device can be ordered
directly from a local supplier. A UPS is designed to allow the correct and complete
shutdown of the device, as opposed to a line conditioner that is designed to allow
the device to function for extended periods of time where the power conditions
may be outside of the Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum specifications.
UPS specifications are available from the supplier.
Special Precautions
The plug(s) on the power cord(s) of the workstation are intended for each separate
device. Therefore, the branch circuit receptacle(s) must be installed near the
workstation and be easily accessible.
1. Creo America has a contract with Re Monitoring Services in Manchester, NH to
provide power and environmental site surveys for the NAFTA region. The monitoring
service includes voltage, current, temperature, humidity, dust and air pressure. Rx
Monitoring Services will pr ovide the equipment to be installed at the customer site for
a maximum of 10 days. They will then monitor it and send a report via e-mail. Outside
North America, contact your local product support specialist.
Site Requirements 11
Heat Output
The nominal heat output of the output device itself is 22,250-26,250 BTU/hr.
For heat output of the UDRC, please see the UDRC Site Preparation and
Requirements document (725-00089A).
Power Line Voltage/Frequency
Line voltage at the customer site must remain within +6%/–10% of the
Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family output devices rated voltage of 200 V–
240 V for
110 V countries, or between 180V and 254 V for 220 V countries.
The frequency is 50/60 Hz ±1.5%.
The electrician at the customer site should install the correct outlet to provide
power to the device. The device must be powered from a different line than the
workstation. Tolerances for the specified input voltages require balanced power
inputs (L1–G=L2–G, or L1G=L1–N).
Power connectors must be of the locking type in North America and Industrial
type B in Europe, due to the high leakage current of the equipment. Frequency is
50/60Hz ±1.5%. See “Erratic performance of platesetter - Uninterupptable power
supply (UPS)/power conditioner requirement” document on eCentral.
Power Line Disturbances
The reliable operation of computer systems depends on the availability of relatively
noise-free AC power. Lightning, line faults, or power switching commonly found
in machinery, office equipment, and factory environments, can generate line
transients that far exceed the peak value of the applied voltage. If not attenuated,
these microsecond pulses can disrupt system operation. The power line to the
machine should be run away from electrically noisy power cables. If power line
disturbances are affecting the operation of the machine, the use of a power
stabilizer is highly recommended.
Dips in power should not exceed 30% of nominal voltage, having maximal
duration of 10 ms. Fast transient disturbances on the power line should not exceed
1.0 kV.
Grounding
At 60 Hz sites, 208 Vac (between 2 phases of 120 Vac each).
At 50 Hz sites, 380 Vac grounds.
Grounding requirements for platesetter – and all equipment communicating with
it – should be observed to ensure trouble-free operation.
12 Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family Site Preparation Guide
Grounding requires the following:
• Grounding wires that are insulated and at least equal in size to the phase
conductors.
• Ground impedance less than 2 Ohms.
• A single point and dedicated ground.
• Each system load (such as platesetter, host) is fed through an isolated ground
outlet and has a separate ground, as well as neutral and phase line of equal size
wire.
Note: Chained neutrals and grounds are not permitted
Site Requirements 13
Air Supply
The Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum output device requires a clean, dry, oil-free,
dust-free, and moisture-free air supply at 7 bar (100 psi), of shop air according to the
table that follows:

Air Supply Qualification Procedure
This procedure helps determine whether the customer’s air supply is adequate for
satisfactorily running the output device. It requires a measurement tool
(92-0373A) made specifically to test the output device’s air supply.
1. Mount the device to the end of the air hose or pipe that would normally be
connected to the output device. A few extra adapter fittings and a roll of
Teflon® tape have been included for this purpose.
2. Turn on the valve on the tool.
3. Record the results in Table on page 31.
4. Repeat this test two more times during the day at well-spaced intervals to
confirm that the air supply is not being compromised by other machines, and
so on.
The gauge must never fall below 90 psi at any time during the tests. If the air supply
fails to maintain this pressure at a minimum, it is below specifications for the
output device.
Cleanliness
Static Electricity
Filters in the air conditioning system should be able to block 60% of all 10 micron
dust particles.
Clean air is vital as an unclean environment can cause hotspots on your plates as
well as machine malfunction.
According to IEC-721-3-3,7
Name: Mechanically active substances
Class: 3S2, 7S1
Severity: Sand 30 mg/m^3
• Dust (suspension) 0.2 mg/m^3
• Dust (sedimentation) 1.5 mg / (m^2 X h)
• Humidity must be 55% ±5% to reduce the static electricity with the plates. See
Humidity below.
• Use of floor carpeting is not recommended in the Lotem 400 / Lotem 400
Quantum output device area. If carpets are used, only anti-static carpets
should be installed at the site. Carpet thickness should be up to 0.5 inch (12
mm).
Site Requirements 15
Humidity
The output device requires relative humidity of 55% ±5%.
An industrial steam humidifier can be used to meet specified humidity.
UV Light
Some plates, such as Kodak DITP, are sensitive to UV light. When such plates are
used or when the Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum output device is directly
connected to a plate stacker, you need an appropriate safe light.
Air Conditioning
Sufficient air conditioning should be present to provide heat dissipation for the
output device,
additional minimum 25% safety margin. Ensure that the ventilation system can
circulate the entire volume of air in the room 16 times per hour.
The output device requires a constant temperature of 23×C ±2×C
(73.5×F ±3×F).
The calculated air conditioning requirements for the output device (in BTU/hour)
are shown in below table.

Ventilation
Platesetter 12,000-16,000 BTU/hour
Host 2,500 BTU/hour
Debris removal system 4,800 BTU/hour
Other misc. 1,500 BTU/hour
Safety margin (25% of above) 6,250 BTU/hour
Total 27,050-31,050 BTU/hour
Please note the following guidelines:
• The system room should ideally contain both a thermometer and a
hygrometer, permanently mounted in a central location.
• In addition, it is highly recommended that you have a humidity and
temperature recorder.
No filtration can be 100% efficient (for example, carbon monoxide is not captured
by Creo filters). That is why outdoor air ventilation is required with the debris
removal system. Air exhaust vents (where air is drawn out of the room) should be
located as close to the debris removal cabinet and output device as possible.
The Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family output devices require a minimum
of 1.1 m
accumulation of airborne emissions that may be released when certain media are
imaged.

/min (40 cfm)1 outdoor air ventilation. This air ventilation prevents the
2
16 Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family Site Preparation Guide
Outdoor air ventilation must not be confused with air circulation in the room that
results from temperature control or humidity control. Outdoor air ventilation may
be roughly estimated to be 10% to 30% of the air circulation rate in the room. To
achieve adequate air mixing, Creo recommends at least 3 ACH (air changes per
hour).
These recommendations apply to a single device with no other equipment in the
room. Other imaging equipment, processors, ovens, HVAC systems, and so on,
may contribute additional emissions to the work environment, increasing the
amount of outdoor air ventilation required.
The customer is responsible for assessing the level of airborne emissions in the
room to ensure that, upon installation of the Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum
Family, the requirements of local, state, provincial, regional, and national
regulations for occupational health and safety are satisfied. In the event of any
uncertainty about the levels of airborne emissions, the customer should arrange for
an indoor air quality assessment to be conducted by a qualified industrial hygienist.
1.This is a default value. Certain media may require higher ventilation; to check the
recommended value for specific media, please seeseesee CTP Media Imaging
Performance Database (available from your Creo representative), where it will be
specified if different from default.
2. Information on the hazardous compounds released by a particular media during
imaging should be available from the media manufacturer’s Material Safety Data
Sheet or equivalent document.
Site Requirements 17
Telephone Link
The customer must maintain a “direct dial” analog telephone line that is dedicated
to the workstation (no other devices sharing this line) for use with Creo dial-in
support. See Tables 2–4 for the required phone jack connector. The customer
should also provide a separate voice phone line to the output device location for
communication with Creo service representatives during dial-in support.
Note: Remote dial-in support to the output device is dependent upon a dedicated, direct
dial-in telephone line. Creo can only offer remote support to machines that do not share
telephone lines with other equipment.
Network
A total of four TCP/IP addresses must be provided for each Lotem 400 / Lotem 400
Quantum device:
• One Local Area Network (LAN) connection to the output device for supplying
files from the workstation.
• Three consecutive static TCP/IP addresses for the output device to workstation
PC connection.
• One for the workstation end of the PPP connection.
• One for the MCE (master control electronics) end of the PPP connection.
• One for the RAS (remote access services) connection.
Important: The customer must ensure that these three addresses are removed from the
available addresses in the DHCP pool.
Media and Processor(s)
The processor specifications may vary and depend on the specific processor used at
the customer’s site. The processor vendor should provide the relevant information.
Plates
• The Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum output devices support thermal plates,
that are sensitive to IR 830 nm wavelength.
• Storage room for plates; please consult the plate vendor for the recommended
humidity and temperature ranges in which the plates should be stored.
• Consult your vendor regarding a plate densitometer that is adequate for
thermal media.
18 Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family Site Preparation Guide
Plate Registration
For optimal registration, the reference points used by the output device should also
be used by plate bending and punching equipment. See Figure 4 for the plate
registration points.
The customer is responsible for satisfying the requirements for achieving optimal
plate registration on press.
For further assistance with specifying punches and benders to be used with the
Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Family output device, contact a Creo customer

Shipment and Delivery
Customer Responsibilities
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide Creo with delivery instructions. The
customer is responsible for transporting the shipping crates to the installation
location and unloadingthem , however, the customer must not unpack the
shipping crates. Creo recommends that the customer use professional riggers to
unload the crates. Dock level is required (a vertical distance from ground to dock
of 1.2- m (4 ft.), and the ability to handle a 15.9-m (53 ft.) trailer.
Creo engineers will unpack the shipping crates and install the device.
Forklift
Doors and Hallways
The customer must provide a forklift or crane with a minimum 1,365kg (3,000 lb)
capacity for unloading the equipment. The width of the forks must not exceed
15cm (6 in.) and the span should be 51cm (20 in.).
The customer must provide free access through doors and hallways from the
entrance to the device location so that the whole pallets can be transported to the
installation location. Creo recommends that the customer furnish a drawing of the
route. See Shipping Crates for maximum crate dimensions.
Note: The service engineer must walk the entire route from the loading dock to the
installation area. Measure all doorways, openings and aisles to ensure that there is
adequate space to move all of the components safely.

Notice
The imaging of some media may result in airborne emissions. This notice is
intended to provide general information relating to these emissions only. For
information specific to particular media, please see the media manufacturer's
MSDS or other documentation.
The by-products of the imaging of printing media may include one or more of:
aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde); oxides (nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide,
carbon monoxide); volatile organic compounds and olefins (benzene,
1,3-butadiene); other gaseous compounds (hydrogen cyanide, and so on); and
particulate matter (dust). This list is not comprehensive, and other compounds
may be present in the emissions, depending on particular media.
To help prevent contamination and to improve reliability of imaging, the Creo
output device may include a debris removal system containing a filtration unit,
either internal or external (for example, a universal debris removal cabinet),
corresponding to qualified media used at a particular site. Depending on the
configuration of the filtration unit, the unit may trap dust only (for example,
UDRC-BP), or it may trap dust and a number of gaseous by-products of the
imaging process (for example, UDRC-LC). It is critical to change the filters in the
filtration unit on a regular basis.
Not all emissions can be efficiently captured by filtration. Sufficient outdoor air
ventilation must be provided in rooms where Creo output devices and filtration
units are located. The requirements to ventilation rate are contained in either the
output device Site Preparations and Requirements document or another applicable
document.
22 Lotem 400 / Lotem 400 Quantum Site Preparation Guide
Creo cannot assure occupational safety under all operational conditions because of
factors that are outside the control or knowledge of Creo. These factors include, but
are not limited to:
• Inadequate air ventilation or poor air mixing in the imaging room, which may
cause higher than expected emissions concentrations in all or parts of the room
• Imaging of media that were not qualified or pre-approved by Creo; in
particular, media not qualified for use with a debris removal system or a
filtration unit specified in the Creo Sales Agreement, Customer Agreement,
Order Form, Service Agreement, Output Device Configuration, or similar
applicable document
• Changes to the qualified printing media formulation or manufacturing process
made by the media manufacturer after qualification, resulting in emissions
changes (this may cause different or greater emissions than expected)
• Incorrect or incomplete specification of potential emissions to Creo by the
media manufacturer, which may cause different or greater emissions than
expected
• Combined action of airborne emissions from multiple compounds, which
may—through cumulative or synergistic effects—cause greater than expected
effects on human health
• Airborne emissions from other sources combining with the imaging system's
emissions to exceed occupational health regulations or having cumulative
effects on human health greater than those expected for individual emissions
• Variation in individual sensitivity to airborne emissions that may cause greater
effects in susceptible individuals
• Tampering with, misuse of, or incorrect maintenance of imaging equipment or
emissions safety systems, which may cause additional emissions to occur
• Non-compliance with instructions in user guides, warning labels, site
preparation, or other Creo documents, which may cause excessive emissions
levels
• Changes in occupational health regulations or industrial hygiene practices that
may result in a system that is considered safe upon original installation, but is
found to be unsafe at a later date.
Because of variables such as those listed above, many of which are in the control of
the end user or the media manufacturers, Creo cannot warrant that, under all
imaging system installations and operating conditions, including the use of a
filtration unit, and with all media types, media will not release emissions while
being imaged that an operator or other persons may find objectionable or may
claim to be injurious. CREO'S ONLY WARRANTY AND LIABILITY, IF ANY,
SHALL BE AS PROVIDED UNDER ITS STANDARD TERMS OF SALE OR
CUSTOMER AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE. Neither this notice nor the Site
Preparations and Requirements document or other similar document is a promise
or guarantee of a particular level of performance, and neither this notice nor the
Site Preparations and Requirements document or other similar document is a
warranty of any kind whatsoever. It is the end user's responsibility to ensure
continuing compliance with all Occupational Health and Safety regulations and
guidelines in its work environment.
