Caution
This unit is provided with a 1-meter length of cable for DC power. If the wire is extended
in length, #10 wire must be used. Do not add more than 1 meter additional wire unless
it is heavier than #10. Power supply regulation should be greater than ±2% and ripple
no greater than 400 mV. No damage can occur to the laser if the DC voltage is in the
range of 0 to 50 Volts; however, the laser will only operate at the specified voltage.
Check your power supply before attachment and adjust it to the
specified voltage . The
software will not allow more than ≈± 2 Volts variation including line drops at high current
settings.
If output becomes intermittent and the fault light flashes on and off, the
voltage drop on the power cable may be too large or the power supply may be
bad. If the fault light lights up on power up, check the power supply voltage
setting.

“F” Type Lasers
Current production lasers are marked, for example, as 156F. These lasers are designed to
control fan operation internally based on the operating temperature. The fan will start operating
at 32°C or higher and will stop at 30°C or lower. This fan function is enabled via commands sent
over the RS 232 lines. If the fans do not start when power is applied, this means that the fan
function is disabled. If fans do not start with power up, this does not indicate fan malfunction!
Factory fresh lasers are always shipped with the fan function disabled. See the Iradion LCC
Comm Protocol_v1.5 for information on communicating with the laser control card.
“W” Type Lasers
Water cooled lasers require water connections before operation.
See “Other Connection Details”
below. Water cooled lasers cannot detect water flow. If the laser is operated without water flow,
a fault will occur due to overheating after several minutes (depending on the operating duty).
Damage will not occur.
