Connect power supply to the U-type module via the Molex connector
To properly power the unit, connect the voltage source to pins 1 and 6.
Connect GND to pins 5 and 10. Pins 1 and 6 must be tied together. Pins 5 and
10 must also be tied together. Two pins are used for each signal to ensure
that sufficient current can be handled.
For lasers operating at less than 600mW, a minimum of
5V
is required.
For lasers operating at or greater than 600mW, a minimum of 9V is required
with 12V recommended. Do not exceed 14V on V+.
At full power, the device can consume up to 15W; an appropriate heatsink is
required.
*Please note, a USB connection alone is not enough to power the laser.
The
laser must be powered via the Molex connector in the above listed manner to
ensure adequate power.
