Getting Started

Turn on the Laser System

Follow the steps below to turn on the EV-30 laser system.

1. Switch on the electrical power.

2. Turn on the voltage regulator.

The exhaust(s) will be turned on automatically at the same time.

3. Turn on the chiller.

IMPORTANT

The fiber laser will NOT work if the water temperature is below 20°C (68°F). Turn on the chiller in
advance to warm up if the ambient temperature is low.
