When delivered the lasers are, by default, set to continuous-wave, constant power mode. As soon as power is supplied
to the laser head the auto-start procedure will begin. Light will be emitted once the remote interlock connector is
connected, the shutter is open and when the key is turned to the ON position (CDRH model).
1.
Mount the laser on a heat sink or suitable flat surface that provides adequate heat dissipation and connection to
ground. Use the four holes on the laser’s base plate to secure it.
2.
Attach the 6-pin Molex cable to the laser head. Be sure the orange arrow is facing the top (labelled) side of the
laser head.
3.
Attach the 15-ping Sub-d end of the cable to the key control box.
4.
Insert the remote interlock plug into the connector on the key control box.
5.
Connect the supplied 5 V power supply unit to the socket on the laser head, and plug it in to the mains.
6.
To start the laser, turn the key on the control box clockwise to the ON position. If it is already in the ON position,
turn it to OFF and then ON again.
7.
The laser now goes through the following auto-start sequence:
•
Temperature stabilization (1-2 min).
•
Turn the key switch to start the laser. Status LEDs: ON goes on. (CDRH model only)
•
The laser light is emitted in a constant warm-up current for 60 sec.
8.
The laser will now start up in continuous-wave, constant power mode at its nominal maximum power level. The
power and wavelength may continue to drift for up to 3 minutes while the thermoelectric cooler (TEC) stabilizes.
NOTE
If the power does not match the power as stated on the test sheet see Section12: Service for more
information.
