Beam Alignment 

[CM-3000 FB4]

1.  Loosen 2 silver bolts that hold the 

alignment mechanism cover

 in place on the side of the unit and remove the cover.

2.  Create a full size red circle (static tunnel effect) and check whether the red circles of all R4, R3, R2 and R1 overlay 

each other all the way around the shape. If not, follow the diagram below to adjust the beam path accordingly (step 
1 & 2 on the diagram).

6.2

Although KVANT uses the latest technology to protect all the critical components inside this laser 
system against Electrostatic Discharge, the semiconductor laser diodes within this system are extremely 
vulnerable to it. This is due to some of the electronic components being exposed when the top cover is 
taken off.
If you decide to proceed with the Beam Alignment process yourself, it is absolutely essential that all the 
common ESD protection rules are strictly followed. We don’t accept any responsibility for Electrostatic 
Discharge damages to laser diodes caused by customer.

Always loosen one of the screws in the pair first, before tightening the 2nd one down.
