1. Make sure the laser aperture is blocked or attached to an opti-
cal fiber that is connected to an appropriate receptacle.
Only
use fiber with FC/APC connectors.
2.
Check the voltage setting:
Check that the power module on
the back of the laser is set for the proper AC line voltage (see
page 51 for information on checking and changing the voltage).
3. Connect the power cord:
Attach the power cord to the laser and
plug it into a wall outlet.
4. Turn on the system:
Turn on the
AC Power
keyswitch (position
“

”) to initialize the system: the system ID will appear in the
wavelength display during initialization.
After turning the keyswitch, allow the system a minimum of 45 minutes to
warm up before turning on the laser diode (step 6.) to ensure the system meets
its operating specifications.
Once you turn on the keyswitch and the system initializes (about
