2.3 Utility Requirements
Coolant
The InSight X3, X3+, X3+DA is a closed loop coolant system and requires no external utility water
services. Use ONLY full-strength
Nalco
460-PCCL104 liquid corrosion inhibitor as a coolant.
Never use deionized water.
Fill the chiller reservoir following the instructions in the chiller
manufacturer's user manual. Do not place the chiller above the laser. Should the unit not be
installed properly, and a leak develops, dripping water may damage the laser.
The chiller must always be on when the power supply is on, even if the diode lasers are not on.
Power Requirements
The laser and the chiller must be connected to separate AC power circuits.
