Facilities Requirements
Electrical Requirements
The room where the laser will be installed should be equipped with a 215-250VAC,
single phase, 20 A electrical service. It is recommended that the electrical supply to the
equipment be independently fused and switched by a 20 A circuit breaker, mounted at a
convenient height in the operating area. This will enable the POLYLASE LP Laser to be
electronically isolated for maintenance purposes.
Due to many electrical codes and preferences of most facilities, it is the responsibility of
the user to provide the male plug for attachment to the line cord for use in your
receptacle. Before plugging the system, make sure that the key switch and Main switch
are in OFF position and the main electrical cable is tightly connected to the wall
receptacle.
Ambient Temperature
Proper ambient temperature must not exceed 25
°
C and must not fall below 15
°
C. It is
likely that the laser will continue to function normally if the temperature is not within
these limits. However, high temperature warning message and system shut-off due to
overheating condition may take place.
The laser will generate approximately 3500 watts of heat into the room when operating at
full power. Therefore, the air conditioner you select for the laser room must be able to
accommodate this additional heat.
If the coolant water is colder than 15
°
C the laser controller will not allow starting the
laser and will respond with the Error Message: “System is too cold” with actual coolant
water temperature being displayed on the screen. The water in this case has to be
naturally warmed up to above 15
°
C without the pump running the cold water through the
system, before the laser controller will allow the system to start.
Air Quality
Ensure that the atmosphere is non-corrosive, with no salts or acids in suspension in the
air. Acids, corrosives, and volatile materials are likely to attack electrical wiring and the
surfaces of optical components.
Keep airborne dust particles to a minimum. Dust particles can cause permanent damage
to optical surfaces and excessive dust can clog the cooling system heat exchanger and air
intake filters. Never place the laser in an environmental proximal to areas undergoing
construction or remodeling.
