Conformity standards
This hardware was designed and built in conformity with the relevant EC marking and EEC directives :
• "Security" Directive 98/37/EEC (22/06/98).
• "Electromagnetic compatibility" Directive 2004/108/EC
• "Low voltage" Directive 2006/95/EC
The modification or transformation of this equipment, the adaptation and installation of accessories not recommended by GRAVOGRAPH, the installation of this equipment in a manufacturing process, the piloting by a robot, the connection to an external automaton, modify the characteristics of this material and can make it not compliant with the European Directives it is subjected. These modifications voids the responsibility of the manufacturer. In this case, the person who fits the machine and the equipment is responsible for the EC compliance of the final work station.
Electrical security
This hardware is in conformity with the norms EN 60204-1 and EN 60950-1, which also refer to the LASER system safety standard CEI 825-1 (08/2001).
The different fuses of the machine comply with the IEC 127-2 norm (International Electric Committee).
The different security levels the input/output answer are indicated for each connector in the chapter "Rear view of the machine". Two security levels are possible :
- Dangerous voltage (power supply, accessories, plugs ...).
- Very low security voltage.
Machine security
This hardware is in conformity with the norm EN ISO12100-1 and EN ISO12100-2.
Electromagnetic compatibility
This hardware is in conformity with electromagnetic compatibility norms:
• EN 55022 - class B ; EN 61000-3-2 ; EN 61000-3-3 (emission in residential, commercial, and light industrial environment)
• EN 61000-6-2 (immunity in industrial environment)
All the cables used with this hardware must be in conformity with the electronic compatibility standards, norm EN 55022 - class B.
Electrical security
This material is «class 1». The mains plug MUST always be connected to a neutral socket and comply with the regulations in force in the country of installation. If you do not have a plug of this type, have one installed by an approved electrician. Under no circumstances should you depart from this instruction.

Presentation
The machine must never be handled without an adult present. Keep the machine, wires and cables out of children's reach.
Contra-indications
This machine is only designed for light engraving purposes and must never be used for other applications. To use this machine, you are advised to wear protectives glasses against the chip ejections. Never use this machine for sawing or drilling. Do not use this machine for working with wood. Do not use this machine in explosive environment.
This machine is only designed for one user. Do not let several people use the machine simultaneously.
• If the machine is not to be used for a long period, unplug the electricity supply and cover the machine (packaging, cover, lid...).
• Do not move the engraving head by hand unless mechanical block of the machine as described in the paragraph "Mechanical block" of this manual's "Installing" chapter.
• Do not spill any liquids onto the machine (drinks, cleaning fluids…) unless when recommended by GRAVOGRAPH (example: lubrication).
• Do not place any object on the machine other than that to be engraved.
• The machine should never be used with anything other than Gravograph accessories and tools.
• Never hold the material to be engraved in your hands. Only use the GRAVOGRAPH clamping systems designed for your machine.
• Make sure that the material is well clamped before starting to engrave.
• During engraving, do not use this machine without a nose (depth regulating nose or vacuum nose) in order to avoid projections of swarf.
• Do not take the engraving material out of the machine during engraving.
• If the engraving must be stopped, use the function key provided for this purpose on the keyboard of the machine.
To avoid any risks of being crushed by the machine during engraving, do not stand near the tools (the travel area of the tool is 305x210mm). Do not lean over the spindle holder. Ensure that no one is in the travelling area of the moving parts of the machine and that no object will obstruct the travelling of the moving parts.
This sign shown on the tool-holder of the machine shows the danger caused by the rotating spindle during engraving (risks of getting burnt or cut). To avoid any risks of getting burnt, the protective belt housing of the tool-holder must be always closed, except when carrying out adjustments.

Description
The IS400 machine is an electronic engraving machine.
It has a keyboard, and a control panel with a L.C.D. screen connecting the software which is in the machine.
Files to be engraved are transferred from the computer to the machine by the intermediary of a cable which is plugged into one of the two ports on the IS400 machine.
The actual engraving process is controlled by the spindle.
The object to be engraved is held in the vice (as standard) or by any other system recommended by GRAVOGRAPH (consult your GRAVOGRAPH dealer for more information on systems available).
The IS400 machine has a maximum engraving surface area of 305x210 mm.
