Introduction

2

The policy of Videojet Technologies Inc. is to manufacture non-contact
printing/coding systems and ink supplies that meet high standards of
performance and reliability. We enforce strict quality control techniques to
eliminate potential defects and hazards in our products.

The intended use of the printer is to print information directly onto a
product. Use of this equipment in any other fashion may lead to serious
personal injury.

The safety guidelines provided in this chapter are intended to educate the
operators on all safety issues so that the printer is serviced and operated in
a safe manner.

General Safety Guidelines

• Always refer to the correct service manuals as per the specific Videojet
printer model for important details.

• Only Videojet-trained personnel must carry out installation and
maintenance work. Any such work undertaken by unauthorized
personnel may damage the printer and will invalidate the warranty.

• To avoid damage to the printer components, use only soft brushes and
lint free cloths for cleaning. Do not use high pressure air, cotton waste,
or abrasive materials.

• The printhead must be completely dry before attempting to start the
printer, otherwise the printhead may get damaged.

• Do not fit or remove any connector on the printer when the power is
turned on, otherwise the printer may get damaged.

Electrical Safety Guidelines

This section explains the safety guidelines related to electrical power
supply and electrical cables.

Electrical Power Supply

PERSONAL INJURY. Lethal voltages are present within this
equipment when it is connected to the mains electrical supply. Only
trained and authorized personnel must carry out the maintenance
work.

PERSONAL INJURY. Observe all statutory electrical safety codes
and practices. Unless it is necessary to run the printer, disconnect the
printer from the mains electrical supply before removing the covers
or attempting any service or repair activity. Non-adherence to this
warning can result in death or personal injury.

PERSONAL INJURY. A high AC voltage is present at the inverter
and backlight. Extreme caution is required when diagnosing failure
in these areas.

2-2 Electrical Safety Guidelines Rev AD

Electrical Cables

Warning

Warning

Warning

Warning

PERSONAL INJURY. Use only the main power cable supplied with
the printer. The end of this cable must have an approved, three-pole,
main plug that has a protective ground conductor.

The electrical power cables, sockets and plugs must be kept clean
and dry.

For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet must be installed near
the equipment and must be easily accessible.

PERSONAL INJURY. Always inspect the cables for damage, wear,
corrosion, and deterioration. Make all grounding/bonding
connections void of areas of paint, ink build-up, and corrosion.

Videojet 1650/1650 UHS Operator Manual

Grounding and Bonding

PERSONAL INJURY. The printer must be connected to an AC
power supply that has a protective ground conductor and must be
according to IEC requirements or applicable local regulations.

PERSONAL INJURY. Do not use the printer if there is any
interruption in the protective ground conductor or if the protective
ground conductor is disconnected. The failure to follow this warning
can cause an electrical shock.

Warning

Warning

Warning

PERSONAL INJURY. Always ground conductive equipment to an
earthing electrode or to the building grounding system with
approved cables as per NEC standards in order to drain all potential
static discharge. For example, a metal service tray to earth ground.

PERSONAL INJURY. A resistance reading from the grounded
service tray to the equipment chassis or mounting bracket should be
0 to less than 1 ohm. A resistance check should be made using a safe
and reliable ohmmeter and should be done on a frequent basis.

PERSONAL INJURY. The PCBs contain static sensitive devices. A
suitably grounded, antistatic wrist strap must be worn when
working on or handling PCBs.

PERSONAL INJURY. Always prevent static discharge from
occurring. Use proper Grounding and Bonding methods. Only use
Videojet approved metallic service trays and ground cables.

PERSONAL INJURY. Always bond conductive equipment together
with approved cables to maintain them at the same potential and
minimize static discharge. For example, printhead to metal service
tray.

Warning

Caution

Warning

PERSONAL INJURY. The Optional Wash Station has been solely
designed for the cleaning of the printhead.

Do not use it for purging or printing operations or for any other
purposes.

Always ensure that the jet is stopped and that any hazardous
voltages are switched off prior to the commencement of the
printhead wash down.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Always empty the service trays
frequently. Some inks and cleaning solutions are flammable. Make
sure that the waste fluids are disposed according to HAZMAT.

Fuses

PERSONAL INJURY. To ensure continued protection against fire
hazards, replace fuses only with the specified type and rating.

Fluid Safety Guidelines

This section describes the hazards that may occur while handling ink,
make-up fluid, and cleaning solutions, and the safety precautions that a
user must take to prevent the hazards.

Read the Material Safety Data Sheets

Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using
any ink, make-up fluid, or cleaning solution. An MSDS exists for each type
of ink, make-up fluid, and cleaning solution. For more information, visit
www.videojet.com and navigate to Documentation > Material Safety Data

Ink and Make-up Fluid

PERSONAL INJURY. The ink and make-up fluid are irritating to the
eyes and respiratory system. To prevent personal injury when
handling these substances:

Always wear protective clothing and rubber gloves.

Always wear goggles with side-shields or a face mask. It is also
advisable to wear safety glasses when carrying out maintenance.

Apply barrier hand cream before handling ink.

If ink or make-up fluid contaminates the skin, wash immediately
with soap water. DO NOT use washdown or solvent to clean ink
stains from the skin.

PERSONAL INJURY. The ink and make-up fluid are volatile and
highly flammable. They must be stored and handled in accordance
with local regulations.

Do not smoke or use a naked flame in the vicinity of these
substances.

Immediately after use, remove any tissue or cloth that becomes
saturated with these substances. Dispose all such items in
accordance with the local regulations.

In the event that any ink or make-up fluid container is not
completely empty after use, it should be resealed. Only full bottles
are recommended for use when replenishing ink or make-up fluid;
partially filled bottles must be disposed in accordance with the local
regulations.

PERSONAL INJURY. When setting up the nozzle, direct the ink
stream into a beaker or suitable container. To avoid the
contamination of the ink, do not re-use any ink collected in this way.
Dispose all waste ink in accordance with the local regulations.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Ensure that the cleaning solution is
compatible with the ink used before carrying out printhead cleaning
otherwise the printhead may get damaged.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Any cleaning solutions containing either
chloride, including hypochlorite bleaches or hydrochloric acid, can
cause unacceptable surface pitting and staining. These should not be
used in contact with stainless steels. If wire brushes or wire scouring
pads are used, these should be made of stainless steel. Make sure
that any abrasive media used is free from sources of contamination,

How to Clean/Quick Start and Stop the Printer

The default procedures to start and stop the printer are Clean Start and the
Clean Stop.

Note: If the Clean Start or the Clean S top are not available, the printer r e quires a
Quick Start or Quick Stop. The printer cannot provide the Clean Start and the
Clean Stop options if the make-up fluid is empty or if the ink core level is high.
Make sure that the make-up fluid is not empty or the ink core level is not high.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Do not perform the Clean Start or the Clean Stop
many times. The failure to follow this caution can cause high use of flush
and dilution of the ink. The diluted ink decreases the quality of the print.

How to Clean/Quick Start

Touch the Jet button on the home page. Clean Start Jet is selected. If Quick
Start Jet is required, continue to hold the button so that both options are

displayed and slide your finger over quick start to select. The printer

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Do not start and stop the printer many times.
When you stop the printer, the printer uses the make-up fluid to flush the
system. If you start and stop the printer many times, the printer uses large
amount of make-up fluid. The increased use of make up fluid can cause a
