7 Mechanical Installation
The laser chassis is designed to be installed on a flat surface or rack-mounted in
a standard 19-inch rack. This section describes how to mount the laser module to
ensure optimal function and ensure that heat generated by the laser, is
adequately dissipated.
General
All chassis types must be installed on a level surface or rack that is free from
vibrations. The ambient temperature surrounding the laser should be stable and
free from any sources that could cause temperature fluctuations. Temperature
changes and vibrations may affect the laser’s operation and result in abnormal
operation.
Caution: For reliable operation, the laser should not be exposed to corrosive
agents or excessive moisture, heat sources or dust.
Heat dissipation
The heat generating components within the laser are thermally connected to a
large heat sink mounted on the rear panel. Ensure that the installation space
provides adequate airflow in the vicinity of the rear panel heat sink.
Caution: For ADJUSTIK HP variants, heat dissipation is vital, ensure the
laser’s operating temperatures are maintained.
