Notes
UPS battery back up
- UPS battery back up units protect printers against power outages and surges.
- For the M1/M2 Printers, we recommend a 1500 VA uninterruptible power supply with an additional battery pack to prevent the printer from power cycling during power outages. At a minimum, you must have the printer and part washer plugged into separate power strips with adequate surge protection.
- M3 Printers draw 850 VA during unheated and 1200 VA during heated prints. You may use online tools to calculate the appropriately sized UPS and battery pack(s) for your needs.
- M3 Max Printers draw 1150 VA during unheated and 1500 VA during heated prints. You may use online tools to calculate the appropriately sized UPS and battery pack(s) for your needs.
- L1 Printers draw 1300 VA with an unheated and 2300 VA with a heated cassette. You may use online tools to calculate the appropriately sized UPS and battery pack(s) for your needs.
