Switching ON sequence

Please make sure that all laser display safety requirements are fulfilled in accordance with laws of
the country where this KVANT laser system is being used before switching the system ON.

1. connect the system as showed on Connection Diagram (see page 7).
2. turn the Safety Key to ON position. If you are using the E-STOP Remote then turn the 2nd Safety
Key located on the E-STOP remote to ON position as well.
3. if you are using the E-STOP Remote make sure the push button is in released position (pull it
upwards to release it).
4. choose required ScanFail Safety mode by pressing the mode selector button.
5. open the aperture window by loosening the two bolts at the bottom of the aperture and slide the
masking plate down to desired position. Tighten the bolts when the masking plate is in desired
position.
6. press the Main Power switch located at the back panel.
7. if you are using the E-STOP Remote press the RESTART button.

What happens next?

1. The laser system starts up and performs a self-check process of its internal components during
which you may hear the initial spin of the cooling fans.
2. ScanFail safety indicator starts flashing and flashes for 60 seconds which indicates the Emission
Delay period.
3. The Interlock indicator stays switched off if the Interlock Connector or the E-STOP Remote are
connected correctly.
4. After 60 second Emission Delay period the laser system is ready to start emitting laser radiation.
Depending on a chosen ScanFail safety mode and an effect in the control software the laser CAN
start the laser emission immediately after the initial 60 Emission Delay period - always keep this in
mind!

Interlock Enabled, Laser Output Terminated

The Interlock is latched enabled and the laser projector's beam output will be terminated if any of
the following events happen.

1. Power loss lasting greater than 2 seconds.
2. Mushroom emergency switch depressed.
3. #2 Key Switch on E-STOP Remote turned to OFF position.
4. #1 Key Switch on laser projector turned to OFF position.
5. Any other interruption to line No.1 of the cable leading to theE-STOP Remote.This includes any
user interlocks connected in series in the line No. 1 of this cable. Refer to Connection Drawing.

After the event has been corrected the START button on the E-STOP Remote must be pressed by
the operator to disable the Interlock and after an Emission Delay period the laser projector will be
ready for use.
