2.
Attach the 15-pin D-SUB cable to the Control Box.
3.
Attach the 10 pin Molex connector to the laser head.
4.
Insert the interlock plug into the connector on the key control box.
5.
Connect the supplied 12V power supply unit to the socket on the laser head, and plug it in to the mains.
The laser will go through the auto start sequence:
Waiting for Temp
Laser emission is not enabled until all temperatures have
reached their set point and the TECs are stabilized.
Waiting for Key
Toggle the key to proceed, if the key is already in the ON
position, turn of OFF and ON again.
Warm up
A low current is provided to warm the laser before setting
full power
Completed
The device is emitting or armed for emission.
6.
To start the laser, turn the key on the key control Box clockwise to the ON position. If it is already in the ON
position, turn it to OFF and then ON again. At delivery all laser lines are ‘ACTIVE’ and ‘ON’, laser light will be
emitted as soon
as the key is turned.
7.
All laser lines will now start up in continuous-wave, constant power mode at the nominal power level. The
power and wavelength may continue to drift slightly for up to 3 minutes while the thermoelectric cooler (TEC)
stabilizes.
