3 Installation and Operation
3.1
Precautions
•
Take care of all laser safety instructions
as described in
. Always wear laser
protection glasses for the specified wavelength range.
• Consider regulations for
• Do not open the laser head. Opening the case voids the warranty and may cause
uncontrolled laser radiation.
• Always mount the laser module securely and pay attention to sufficient heat dissipa-
tion.
•
Never disconnect the laser head from the controller
while connected to the power
supply. This can damage the laser.
•
Do not reflect the laser beam back into the laser head.
The laser diode could be
damaged if more than
2
%
of the emitted power is reflected back into it. Carefully
check all mirroring surfaces of your optical setup for possible back reflections. If re-
quired, use a suitable optical insulator.
• Do not exceed the environment conditions specified in
3.2
Device Setup
1. Make sure the key switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the Lambda beam laser controller with the laser head using the accompa-
nying cable.
3. If you have several laser modules, please note that the controllers are not inter-
changeable. Make sure the serial numbers on the laser head and the laser controller
match each other.
4. Connect the
adapter to the laser controller.
5. Turn on the supply voltage V
CC
.
6. After a quick self-test the green POWER
should be lit continuously. The status
indicators are further described in the following section.
