Supply (Note 1)
1. Refer to the section on Negative Laser
Power Supply Wiring in this datasheet.
* A twisted-pair Power and LD Cable
is available separately (WCB308)
NOTE: For two-supply operation, it is critical to shut down the power supply to the laser first before shutting down the +5V
supply powering the electronics.
