Service Technician
During installation, there are no requirements for cleaning, servicing, or electro-optical
inspections of the laser system. Service procedures for laser replacement and alignment
are included in the Technical Manual.
When operating the VersaPort using ISIM software in Manual mode, the laser interlock
will be disabled. During service alignment of the laser system the technician will be
exposed to the laser beam. When power is removed from the VersaPort, the laser is
inoperative.
Safety Interlocks
Laser Interlock
The VersaPort is designed to prevent the user from exposure to the laser beam. During
normal operation, the laser is enabled only while the port plate is in motion with a Pod
locked to the port plate. With a SMIF-Pod locked to the port plate the user cannot be
exposed to the laser beam.
