Overview of the YLR-Series Fiber Lasers
General Safety Instructions
•
Use the laser in a room with access controlled by door interlocks. Post warning signs.
Limit access to the area to individuals who are trained in laser safety while operating
the laser.
•
Avoid using the laser in a darkened environment.
•
Do not enable the laser without a coupling fiber or equivalent attached to the optical
output connector.
•
Always switch the laser off when working with the output such as mounting the fiber
or collimator into a fixture. If necessary, align the output at low output power and then
increase the output power gradually.
•
Do not install or terminate fibers or collimators when laser is active.
•
If this instrument is used in a manner not specified in this document, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired and the warranty will be voided.
Optical Safety
CAUTION: If the output of the device is delivered through a lens with an anti-
reflection coating, ensure that the lens is of good quality and clean. For cleaning
instructions, refer to “Optical Fiber Connector Inspection and Cleaning” on
page C-1.
Any dust on the end of the collimator assembly can burn the lens and damage
the laser.
Hot or molten pieces of metal can be present when using this laser. Exercise
caution if debris is being generated in your application.
Electrical Safety
WARNING: The input voltage to the laser is potentially lethal. All electrical
cables and connections should be treated as if it were a harmful level. All parts
of the electrical cable, connector, or device housing should be considered
dangerous.
To ensure electrical safety:
1. Make sure the device is properly grounded through the protective conductor of
the AC power cable. Any interruption of the protective grounding conductor
from the protective earth terminal can result in personal injury.
2. Always use your device in conjunction with properly grounded power source.
