Operation
Once correctly wired the ICS-6 is extremely easy to use. The following instructions cover the most
common arrangements. For more complex customer-specific systems additional procedures may
apply.
9.1 Starting Up
1)
Set the mains switch on the unit to ‘1’.
2)
Insert the key into the interlock keyswitch and turn to the right, ‘Enable’.
3)
Close all interlocked doors. The LED’s on the front panel will indicate yellow
if the
corresponding door is open.
4)
Check any Emergency Stop buttons are released- if any have been pressed the Emergency
Stop lights will illuminate yellow.
5)
The 'Safety Circuit Complete' LED’s will light green and the Arm laser illuminates blue.
6)
When you are ready to operate the laser, press the Arm Laser button.
Note. Be aware that this action restores power to the shutters or the laser, and may result in
accessible laser beams, depending on your system set up. This button should only be pressed when
everyone is ready and the necessary safety precautions have been taken e.g. protective eyewear
etc.
9.2 Resuming Operation after an Interlock Switch has been
opened
When any interlocked door is opened or the emergency stop button is activated, the ICS-6 will cut
the power to the laser or the shutters. To resume laser operation:
1)
Close all interlocked doors (where necessary). Note LED state on front panel.
2)
Reset the emergency stop button (where necessary).
3)
When ready to restart, press the ICS-6 Arm Laser button.
Note. Be aware that this action restores power to the shutters or the laser, and may result in
accessible laser beams, depending on your system set up. This button should only be pressed when
everyone is ready and the necessary safety precautions have been taken e.g. protective eyewear
etc.
