itself and the Remote connector and the data injected from the Network connector. If the laser
is being controlled through DMX or ILDA only and not using network data for laser control this
will only carry the emergency stop and reset signals
3.
Remote – this connector provides expansion to a secondary control locaAon for addiAonal safety
if the show requires it. If no secondary control locaAon is required, insert the etherStop
terminator into this port. Otherwise, connect this port to the Laser port of the secondary
control, and insert the terminator in the Remote port of the secondary control. A total of up to
five pendants, including the primary pendant may be daisy chained in this manner.
Do NOT connect more than one pendant directly to a laser projector. When using more than one
pendant, ALWAYS connect the second pendant to the Remote port of the first pendant.
etherStop interface
The front of the etherStop interface contains:
1.BIG RED BUTTON – Depress this bu6on to
emergency stop your laser. The bu6on will latch
in the down posiAon when pressed, twist it
clockwise to reset the switch.
2.Reset bu6on/Emission indicator – The laser
requires a reset signal to begin laser emission
a]er startup or a]er an interlock has been
opened. The emission indicator will illuminate
or flash to indicate the state of the laser system.
Refer to the “Laser Startup” secAon above for
details on the startup sequence.
3.Key switch - This key switch is part of the
remote interlock loop and must be actuated to
permit emission from your laser. Remove this
key to prevent unauthorized operaAon if the
control staAon must be le] una6ended.
The etherStop interface is only part of the laser projector’s interlock and safety system. In order to close
the remote interlock loop and permit laser output, the following condiAons must be met:
1. The key switch must be turned to the enabled posiAon, if you cannot pull the key out of the
switch it is in the enabled posiAon.
2. The BIG RED BUTTON must be in the “up” posiAon on all connected pendants.
3. The Laser port (green) on the etherStop pendant must be connected to the laser via either
etherStop port on the laser.
4. The last pendant in the daisy chain must have an etherStop terminator installed in the Remote
port
5. Once these condiAons are met, the emission indicator will flash once every three seconds.
Pressing the reset bu6on will then cause the system to enter the Emission Delay state, and the
emission indicator will flash once per second.
