Controls and indicators
Figure 3-1 FH Flyer control panel
1 Pwr Indicator – illuminates green when +30 VDC is applied to Flyer.
2 Status Indicator – flashes green during normal boot-up, turning to solid green when Flyer is fully
operational. The Status indicator flashes green at a faster rate during marking operations. Certain
conditions cause the Status indicator to flash various green or red sequences. Refer to Troubleshooting
in the Maintenance/Troubleshooting chapter for a table showing various indicator states.
3 Laser Control Connector – sends tickle and PWM Command signals to the laser.
4 Test Mark Pushbutton – marks a factory-installed test pattern (see Figure 2-3) using approximately
50% of the laser’s rated output power at a marking velocity of 40 inches per second. The Test Mark
button also fires any Custom Test Mark files loaded into memory and can reset stand-alone operation
(see the Stand-alone Operation chapter for details).
5 USB Indicator – illuminates green when the FH Flyer and the computer are both powered up and
connected via the USB Communication cable. The USB LED turns red when WinMark Pro is com-
municating with Flyer.
6 USB Port – provides a connection point for a USB interface between your computer and the Flyer
head.
7 Ethernet Port – provides a connection point for an Ethernet network interface between your com-
puter, server, or network and the Flyer head.
8 User Interface Connection – provides a male DB-25 connection to Flyer’s eight inputs, eight outputs,
and an isolated 15 VDC, 400 mA I/O power supply.
9 Gas Purge Port – provides a connection point for a customer-supplied purge gas. A low-pressure (2–5
PSI) gas purge creates a slight positive pressure inside the head, which lowers the risk of contamina-
tion of internal optical surfaces.
10 Power Connector – receives 30 VDC @ 4 Amps maximum from the DC power supply through the
DC Power cable.
11 Focusing Lens – focuses the laser beam onto the marking surface. Each lens has a nominal working
distance engraved on the bottom face of the lens mount. Refer to the Final Test Report shipped with
your Flyer head for the actual measured working distance.
