Operation
Once correctly wired the ICS-6-OEM is extremely easy to use. The following instructions cover the
most common arrangements. For more complex customer specific systems additional procedures
may apply.
10.1
Starting Up
1.
Apply 24V power to the controller.
2.
Close all interlocked doors. The ‘Input’ LEDs on the front panel will indicate yellow if the
corresponding door is not closed.
3.
Check any Emergency Stop buttons are released- if any have been pressed the ‘E Stop’ lights
will illuminate yellow.
4.
The 'Safety Loop Complete' and Pre-Arm Ready LEDs will light green.
5.
When you are ready to operate the laser, close the external contacts connected to the Arm
terminals. If all is well the amber ‘System Armed’ lights will be illuminated on the front panel
of the unit.
Note:
Be aware that this action restores power to the shutters or the laser, and may result in
accessible laser beams, depending on your system set up. This button should only be pressed when
everyone is ready and the necessary safety precautions have been taken e.g. protective eyewear etc.
If an attempt to arm the system is made while an input is open, the controller will not arm even if
the input is then closed. The external ‘Arm’ contacts must be opened, and a new arm attempt made.
10.2 Resuming Operation after an Interlock Switch has been
opened
When any interlocked door is opened or the emergency stop button is activated, the ICS-6-OEM will
cut the power to the laser or the shutters and the ‘System Armed’ lights will be extinguished. To
resume laser operation:
1.
Open the Arm contacts.
2.
Close all interlocked doors (where necessary). Note LED state on front panel.
3.
Reset the emergency stop button (where necessary).
4.
When ready to restart, close the external Arm contacts.
Note:
Be aware that this action restores power to the shutters or the laser, and may
result in
accessible laser beams, depending on your system set up. This button should only be pressed when
everyone is ready and the necessary safety precautions have been taken e.g. protective eyewear etc.
