Getting Started
Introduction
This section outlines the basic steps needed to start using your Vidia-
Discrete laser system, including information on unpacking the system
and brief set-up and starting notes. For more detailed information on
how to operate the instrument, refer to the “General Operation”
chapter beginning on page 13.
Unpacking the System
Carefully unpack the laser system. Compare the contents against the
packing slip and inspect them for any signs of damage. If parts are
missing or you notice any signs of damage, such as dented or scratched
covers, or broken knobs, please contact New Focus immediately. Save
the shipping container and packing material for future shipping needs.
Check that the power module on the back of the controller is set to the
AC line voltage appropriate for your work station (see page 51 for
information on checking and changing the voltage).
Setting Up the Laser
The laser is designed to operate in environments from 15–35 ˚C. If the
laser has been in storage at temperatures outside the range of 10–40 ˚C,
allow the laser system at least 4 hours to equalize.
When connecting fiber to the laser, use only FC/APC-connectorized
fiber.
