3.1 Installation and Deinstallation of the Detection Modules
A cooling liquid defined as a hazardous substance is used in the Lightsheet Z.1 to cool the
detection modules (depending on configuration). The supplied safety data sheet with notes on
hazards and safety measures must be observed when handling the cooling liquid.
The ports of the detection modules, reflection (Cam1) (Fig. 3/
1
) and transmission (Cam2) (Fig. 3/
2
), on
the main system module Lightsheet Z.1 are equipped with a hardware interlock device. The contact rings
(Fig. 3/
9 ) are connected to the detection modules (Fig. 3/ 8 ) and adjusted in the factory. When handling
the detection modules, ensure that neither tilting nor rotation forces are exerted on this connection to
avoid misalignment. The detection module should be gripped as close as possible to the contact ring.
A rotation guard plate (Fig. 3/
7 ) is mounted on the contact ring of each detection module. When
mounting on both ports this must point toward the front side of the Lightsheet Z.1. It prevents rotation
of the detection module and carries the laser protection notice.
Never remove the rotation guard plates of the detection module adapters. Do not modify or
manipulate the detection module adapters.
The lock is functioning when the sensors (Fig. 3/
4
) of the sensor disk (Fig. 3/
11
) are pressed down by the
pins of the contact ring (Fig. 3/ 10 or 5 for blind cap). If this is not the case, e.g. the space between the
two devices is too large, the laser is blocked and the system cannot be used.
If the system does not function after a detection module has been attached to or removed from a
port with a safety interlock, check the connection of the contact ring on the respective detection
module or blind cap (Fig. 3/
9 or 6 ) to the sensor ring.
