laser
system and to maintain both standard and extended warranties. Detailed below are some
of the standard maintenance procedures; for a more detailed explanation please refer to
the user’s manual. Failure to perform standard maintenance procedures may result in in
the warranty being voided.
4.1 Laser Head Maintenance
There is no regular maintenance needed for the InSight X3 laser head.
4.2 Thermo Rack 401 Chiller Maintenance
Chiller Fluid
The Chiller should be fully filled with the Nalco circulating solution and checked regularly.
Insufficient cooling could cause a decrease of performance or a shutdown of the laser
system. It is recommended to keep the chiller on and running full time to shorten turn on
time.
Nalco Mixtures
The Nalco circulating solution (P/N 1607-0546) is a premixed liquid corrosion inhibitor,
bacterial growth inhibitor, and cooling liquid designed for use in the closed closed-loop
cooling system on the InSight X3 Laser System. It should be replaced every 6 months
following the procedure in the user manual. Please dispose of the Nalco mixture properly
following the MSDS located in the user manual.
The Nalco Cleaner solution (P/N 1607-0547) is used to flush and clean the laser system of
ferrous metals and copper alloys as a result of corrosion. An annual maintenance
including flushing of the cooling lines with Nalco Cleaner is suggested. The cleaner
should be circulated for a minimum of 8 hours (the longer the better if time permits in
order to assure thorough cleaning).
4.3 IPS-300 Power Supply Maintenance
The IPS-300 is not user serviceable. It includes a purge system that removes humidity
from the laser cavity. The purge filter (P/N 2200HT-ETN) should be replaced when the
humidity in the system rises above 10%. In most environments this will be longer than one
