Lasermet provide a range of small distribution boxes which allow for convenient positioning of wall
or surface-mounted plugs for laser interlocks and sockets for shutters. The boxes are available with
different combinations of plugs and sockets.
Most lasers only have a single channel interlock input which can present problems if the safety
system has to comply with ISO 13849 performance level ‘e’ since two methods of control are usually
required. Some lasers have internal beam shutters which may be controlled by the ICS-6-SP. If the
laser has two means of disabling e.g. interlock and internal shutter it is recommended that both are
used. Otherwise it may be necessary to consider having an external shutter in addition to the laser’s
own interlock if a high safety integrity is required.
Lasermet’s beam shutters are supplied with suitable leads to plug into the distribution boxes. Open-
ended leads are provided for laser interlocks allowing the customer to fit the correct plug for his
laser.
Laser Shutter Supply (4A maximum)
The ICS-6-SP is able to provide both continuous and switched supplies using one of the Output
contacts. Several shutters of the same type may all be powered from one Output contact, please
contact Lasermet for details if required.
Note:
The selected Output contact used for switching shutters must not be used for any other
purpose.

LS-10 Shutter
Use the above circuit. Note- old versions of LS-10 will only work off 12VDC so a separate 12VDC
supply will be required.
LS-20 and LS-200 Shutter
The LS-20 and LS-200 Shutters can use the above circuit, however it is recommended that the
monitoring circuit shown below is included to allow the ICS-6-SP Control Unit to monitor the shutter
and to detect any faults.
