Providing Power to the Laser
Power to the laser is supplied by either an external battery pack using four 9V cells, (Hamar Laser
recommends using alkaline or NiCad cells for best performance) or by a 115V AC adapter (see Figure 2
for the location of the battery pack/AC adapter connection on the laser control panel). The laser uses more
power with each additional scanner that is activated.
Warming Up the Laser
Your new laser has been calibrated while it is fully warmed up. In order to ensure proper calibration, we
recommend that you let your laser warm up for at least 30 minutes for single-plane lasers (L-730 or L-
740) and up to 45 minutes for multi-plane lasers (L-732, L-742, L-733 and L-743).
This does not mean the laser spindles need to be rotating; only that the laser beam should be turned on for
the recommended time.
You can use your laser prior to the warm up time to buck it in (make it parallel) to your references.
However, doing this may result in some laser drift. Accordingly, if you use the laser prior to the warm-up
period, it is recommended that you go back and check your references before you start taking the
alignment measurements. For best results, do not start taking measurements until the recommended warm
time has passed.
It is always a good metrology practice to periodically check your reference points to ensure the laser or
the base (instrument stand, table or other supporting base) it sits upon has not drifted. Please note that
most drift problems are caused by what the laser sits upon, not due to the laser drifting itself (after the
warm up period).
CAUTION!
Surge Protection Strongly Recommended
To ensure the long life of your laser, it is important to plug the A/C adapter into a surge-protected
power source. Despite internal surge protection, a large power surge may cause the laser diode to
burn out, requiring the laser to be returned to the factory for extensive repair. Failure to plug the
A/C adapter into a surge-protected power source may void the warranty.
