Turning the DG-3O1I-17 On and Off

The equipment is powered on as soon as the 9VDC-12VDC DC-IN power supply is connected to

the DG-3O1I-17, or to the USB bus of a PC or Cell phone charger. The equipment has a low power
consumption of 2.5W maximum. At the end of a day, it is recommended to first turn off or
disconnect the laser connected to the DG-3O1I-17 and then disconnect the external power supply
from the delay generator. In the case of power from the USB bus of a PC, keep in mind that when
turning off the PC the USB bus can remove the power from the retarder, and the output lines will
remain or go to low level or 0V which could activate processes of shot on the laser or external
device.

In summary, it is recommended that the shutdown of the DG-3O1I-17 be performed after

securing or disconnecting the laser or equipment connected to the retarder and then switching off
the external source, PC or USB charger of the DG-3O1I-17.
