PS-96 power supply connections
The following procedures describe how to connect the PS-96 DC power supply to your f201 laser.
When connecting other types of DC power sources, remember to follow proper Lockout/Tagout pro-
cedures to ensure that AC power is de-energized, and then connect input AC power per the manufac-
turer’s instructions. F201 laser f201 lasers require a DC power source capable of supplying 96 VDC.
Note: The negative (–) side of the DC input to the laser is internally connected so that the laser chassis
serves as DC power ground. You should isolate the laser’s DC power supply so that the only grounded
connection is at the laser. Alternatively, you can mount the laser chassis on an insulating pad or film in
order to electrically isolate the laser when other equipment is grounded to the laser’s DC power supply.
Caution: Possible Equipment Damage
f201 lasers incorporate special fittings that accept only standard 1/2" O.D. cooling tubing.
DO NOT REMOVE OR ADJUST THESE FITTINGS!
Each laser is shipped with a cooling kit that includes 90° push-on tubing connectors to adapt the
brass fittings to your choice of standard (1/2-inch) or metric (12-mm) cooling tubing.
Warning: Serious Personal Injury
Hazardous DC voltages exist on DC power supply output terminals when the power supply is
energized. Contacting energized terminals may result in serious personal injury or death. Protect all
96 VDC connections from incidental contact in accordance with National, State, and Local
requirements for electrical insulation and labeling.
Caution: Possible Equipment Damage
Do not reverse polarity when connecting the DC Power cable to your DC power source. Reversed DC
polarity may damage the laser’s internal RF power supply. Carefully follow the directions below to
ensure that DC Power cable leads are properly connected to the correct DC output terminals.
Caution: Possible Equipment Damage
Do not plug and unplug the DC Power cable on the rear of the laser to switch DC power to the laser.
Switching power under load causes arcing that will damage the connector and control board. To
properly cycle power to the laser, switch the AC power source controlling the PS-96 DC power
supply.
