Installation
The H-30 laser system should be installed by trained personnel upon initial receipt of the
laser system from Cook Medical. Any damage that occurs after transportation must be
corrected prior to use.
WARNING! Do not attempt to use the H-30 prior to trained personnel per-
forming the installation procedure.
Transportation
Transportation of the laser system must be performed in compliance with all local
safety laws.
The laser system must be packaged to protect it from damage, such as in the original
shipping crate. If the original shipping crate is not used for transportation, the system
must be secured to prevent damage. The handles can be used to tie the system to a
secure surface. The crate should only be moved using proper lifting and transporting
means, such as a pallet jack.
The laser system should not be subjected to excessive force, shock or vibration. If
excessive shock or vibration is suspected to have occured, the laser alignment should be
inspected by a trained technician.
If any water remains in the cooling system, the laser must not be subjected to freezing
temperatures. Freezing water within the laser cavity can damage optical components
such as the laser cavity, rod and flash lamp or mechanical components such as the heat
exchanger or water pump. If there is a possibility of freezing temperatures, the laser’s
cooling system should be drained of all water by attaching fill/drain tubes to both the
Drain and Air Purge ports on the rear panel of the laser system. (See figures 2 and 3.)
Storage humidity should not exceed 95%. If the laser is stored in a high humidity
location, it must be allowed sufficient time to reach equilibrium when introduced to a
cool operating environment. Failure to do this may result in damage to the optics from
condensation.
Unpacking the Laser System
Your H-30 laser system is shipped from the factory in a wooden crate to protect it
from damage during shipping. Before removing the laser system, inspect the crate
for damage. If there is evidence of damage, save all packing materials and notify the
shipping company by filing an insurance claim report.
