Section 2: Installation
Installation requirements
The Surelite I & II laser systems are customer installed. The Surelite III & EX
laser systems are installed by Continuum personnel. The sections below give
detailed instructions regarding installation, tools necessary for installation and
equipment required to monitor laser performance. Read the Installation
section completely before beginning the installation. If you have any questions
or problems while performing the installation or to schedule an installation, call
Continuum Service at 1-877-272-7783.
Site
Install the laser in a closed and clean location. Your laser will work best in a
temperature stabilized environment. Therefore, it is advisable to set up the
system in an air conditioned room, placed so that no vents blow directly on the
laser and the laboratory temperature does not exceed 85°F (29.4°C). The laser
should be mounted on a solid work table that includes tapped 1/4-20 bolt holes
(or M6) at 1" centers so that the system can be secured to the table surface.
Choose a location for the power supply cabinet such that:
•
the back panel of the cabinet is not more than 10 feet (3.3m) away
from where the umbilical exits the laser.
•
the back panel of the cabinet is at least 2 feet (61cm) from a wall to
allow an unobstructed air flow to the cooling group.
•
each side of the cabinet is at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from the
wall or other obstacle to allow an unobstructed air flow to the
power supply.
Power
•
The voltage requirement is 200-240 V~, 50-60 Hz, single phase.
•

hook-up.
