
Press the pedal switch part way until you feel initial resistance and the
inert gas supply is switched “on.”

Fully pressing the foot pedal down until it stops triggers laser pulses. The
inert gas supply remains “on” until the foot pedal has been totally released
(if inert gas supply is connected to the device).

If several laser pulses are to be released one after the other, the following
options are available:
o
You can release the foot pedal slightly after each pulse and then push
it right down again.
o
If the pulse frequency is set for continuous-pulse mode (HZ), the laser
can release a continuous series of pulses by depressing and holding
down the foot pedal.
o
If the Burst Mode (B) is set, the laser will release the number of pulses
that the operator chooses by depressing and holding the foot pedal.
Remote Interlock Connector
In addition to the foot pedal switch connector, there is a remote interlock
connector available to readily connect the device to a secondary interlock circuit
such as an entry door into a specific laser room. The remote interlock can be
bypassed using the remote interlock shorting cap, p/n 101-36-0036. Refer to the
Installation Section for instructions on connecting or bypassing this feature.
Refer to Service Section / External Fuses & Rear Connections for location of
remote interlock connector.
Locking Brake
The front wheels of the system are equipped with a locking brake to secure the
product at the installation site against unintentional movement. Pressing the
brake lever down will activate the brake.
