Check whether the air tube inside xTool P2 works properly
Before installing the fire safety set, you need to check whether the air tube inside xTool P2 works properly. It is provided to deliver the CO2 gas from the control box to xTool P2.
Check the air tube inside xTool P2 as follows:
1. Insert the tube delivered with the fire safety set into the tube fitting on xTool P2.
2. Use a balloon pump or any other air inflation tool, such as a syringe or air pump, to push air into the tube, and while you are pumping, observe whether the air comes out of the air outlet inside xTool P2.
You can use your hand or a piece of tissue to feel the air.
If the air is not delivered to the inside of xTool P2 properly, the possible causes are as follows:
(1) The tube is bent due to its length. You can take it down, clip it shorter, and then fit it back into the machine.
(2) The tube is loose. You need to fit it in place.
Note: For details about how to solve the problem where the CO2 gas of the gas bottles in the control box can't be released into xTool P2, go to https://support.xtool.com/article/826.
Install the fire safety set
You can choose to use the flaming sensing function of your machine to detect flames or install the sensors delivered with xTool Fire Safety Set.
Way 1: Use the flame sensing function of your machine
Alternatively, you can use the flame sensing function of xTool P2, which requires no sensor to be installed and allows the fire safety set to work together with the machine.
To install the fire safety set in this way, you need to connect the control box to xTool P2.
1. Connect the tube to the control box and xTool P2
2. Connect the control box to xTool P2 with the connection cable
3. Connect the fire safety set to a power supply
4. Connect xTool P2 to a power supply
Note: Connect the power cable of the machine to the smart switch, so that the machine can be powered off immediately when a flame is detected.
Installation completed!
Way 2: Use the sensors delivered with xTool Fire Safety Set
You can choose to install the sensors delivered with xTool Fire Safety Set, which allows the fire safety set to work as an independent auxiliary safety system to complete the whole process as described in the following:
Flame detection -> signal transmission -> signal receiving -> alarm triggering or CO2 gas releasing
When installing the fire safety set in this way, you don't need to connect the control box to xTool P2, that is, you don't need to connect xTool fire safety set to the port when using it.
1. Determine how many sensors you need to use
You can determine how many sensors to be used based on the structure and processing space of your laser machine.
Tips: Sensor 1 is designed to detect flames around a laser module, and sensor 2 is designed for detect flames in other areas.
The closed processing space of xTool P2 is about 0.09 m3. In addition to sensor 1 for detecting flames around the laser module, you can use four sensors 2, fitting them on the inner side of the lid of xTool P2.
2. Install sensor 1
(1) Determine the position where the sensor can be stuck. Ensure that it does not interfere with the moving of the laser module.
(2) Use the 3M tape to stick the sensor on the left side of the laser module.
(3) Stick two cable clamps on the laser module to arrange the connection cable of the sensor. Ensure that the laser beam outlet is not blocked by the cable clamps or cable.
(4) Move the laser module to the left and then to the front, and use cable ties to arrange the connection cable along the drag chain.
Pay attention to the heads of the cable ties. Ensure that they face the inner side of the drag chain, so that they do not interfere with the moving of the drag chain.
(5) Use two more cable ties to arrange the connection cable along the drag chain on the right side of xTool P2, and then use a cable clamp to arrange it to the right side.
3. Install sensors 2
(1) Use the 3M tape to stick the sensors on the inner side of the lid. You are advised to stick them in the positions recommended:
You can modify the positions. You need to pay attention to the length of the cables, however, to ensure that they can connect to the sensor hub that will be stuck on the right side of the casing of xTool P2.
Note: Pay attention to the direction of the connection cable of the sensor when you attach the 3M tape. For xTool P2, you need to ensure that all the connection cables of the sensors can be arranged toward the right side.
Stick the other three sensors in the similar way.
(3) Perform prewiring to determine where the connection cables can be fixed and fit cable clamps on the positions accordingly.
Tips: A cable clamp can hold a maximum of two connection cables.
As shown in the figure, fit cable clamps based on the wiring path of the cable.
Fit cable clamps on the other connection cables , as shown in the following figure.
(4) Use the 3M tape to stick the cable clamps on the machine. You can adjust the positons of the cable clamps to make the wiring neater.
Note: Pay attention to the position under the hydraulic rod. Move the laser module when you determine the position. Ensure that the laser module is not blocked.
4. Install the sensor hub
(1) Stick the sensor hub to the right side of the casing of xTool P2.
(2) Take the front part of the sensor hub down, wind the connection cables around it, insert the connectors into the ports on it, and put the front part back on the rear part.
Tips: The first port on the sensor hub is provided for sensor 1, the one designed for detecting flames around the laser module.
5. Connect the tube to the control box and xTool P2
6. Connect the sensor hub to the control box
7. Connect xTool P2 to a power supply
Note: Connect the power cable of the machine to the smart switch, so that the machine can be powered off immediately when a flame is detected.
8. Connect the fire safety set to a power supply
Installation completed!
If you choose to install the sensors delivered with the fire safety set, you need to test the sensors before use. For details, see xTool Fire Safety Set User Guide.
Use the fire safety set
1. Pair the smart switch with the control box.
(1) Hold down the button on the smart switch for 5s.
The indicator is solid red, indicating that the smart switch enters the pairing state.
(2) Press the smart switch test button on the control box.
The indicator on the smart switch blinks three times and then goes off, indicating that the smart switch is successfully matched with the control box.
2. Test the control over the smart switch.
(1) After connecting the smart switch and control box to a power supply, press the button on the smart switch.
The indicator on the smart switch is solid red, indicating that the smart switch enters the working state.
(2) Press the smart switch test button on the control box.
The indicator on the smart switch goes off, indicating that the control box controls the smart switch properly.
3. Toggle the working / test mode switch up to enter the working mode.
The test mode indicator goes off, and the working state indicator blinks.
4. Press the status switching button on the control box.
The working state indicator turns solid green, indicating that the fire safety set is in the working state.
If xTool P2 detects a flame, the buzzer sounds. If the flame is small, the buzzer sounds slowly and only an alarm is triggered. If the flame is large, the buzzer sounds rapidly and the fire safety set is triggered to perform the action of fire extinguishing.
One-press fire extinguishing
- The one-press fire extinguishing function is available only when the fire safety set runs in working mode.
- Once triggered, the action of fire extinguishing can't be canceled. Exercise caution when using this function.
When the fire safety set runs in working mode, if you see a flame in the processing space of the machine and want to extinguish it immediately, you can manually trigger the action of fire extinguishing by pressing the one-press fire extinguishing button.
During fire extinguishing, the gas is released twice at an interval of about 20s. Please wait for the process to complete before you touch the control box.
After use
Replace CO2 gas bottles
After the action of fire extinguishing is performed, the gas bottle replacement indicator turns solid on, indicating that you need to replace the gas bottles. You need to purchase new gas bottles for replacement.
Note: The gas bottles can be used only once. Replace them after the gas is released.
(1) After the gas bottle replacement indicator turns solid on, disconnect the control box from the power supply.
(2) Press in the middle of the part where the upper and lower covers meet to loosen the upper cover, and remove the upper cover.
(3) Rotate the gas bottles counterclockwise to remove them.
(4) Install 4 new gas bottles in the control box.
After replacing the gas bottles, you can connect the control box of the fire safety set to the power supply to use it.
