Starting your f201 laser
Important Note: Ready LEDs denote separate control functions. Although the Ready lamp may
light, no power is applied to the RF boards until both Ready and Shutter indicators are
illuminated.
1
If the laser has a Diode Pointer installed, remove its aperture dust cover.
Important Note: Assure the red self-adhesive aperture seal is removed from the laser faceplate.
2
Press the UC-2000’s Lase On/Off button. The Lase indicator on the UC-2000 should illuminate.
3
Use the PWM Adj Knob on the UC-2000 to slowly increase power. The Lase LED turns red when
PWM Command pulses are long enough to produce laser output (typically 7–10
μ
s at 5 kHz). The
spot where the beam hits the beam block increases in brightness to indicate increased power
output.
4
Press the UC-2000’s Lase On/Off button to stop lasing. Lase indicators on the UC-2000 and the
laser should both turn off.
5
Shut off the chiller or otherwise stop coolant flow through the laser.
6
Shut off gas purge flow to the laser. In dirty or dusty environments, however, it may be necessary
to purge the laser continuously to prevent contamination of internal optics.
Important Note: If your f201 laser fails to lase, refer to Troubleshooting in the
Maintenance/Troubleshooting chapter for troubleshooting information.
Without a UC-2000 Controller
If you are not using a UC-2000 to control the laser, follow the procedure below to verify laser operation.
Although a tickle signal is not required, you will need to provide PWM Command signals to User I/O
connector. Refer to User I/O connections in the Technical Reference chapter for connector pinouts and
refer to Controlling laser power in the Technical Reference chapter for Command signal descriptions.
Important Note: When performing the initial start-up sequence, you must first connect the Quick
Start Plug or you must provide the required Remote Interlock Request signals to the User I/O
Warning: Serious Personal Injury
Because of phase differences, external tickle pulses may combine with the internally-generated tickle
signal causing the Lase LED to flicker during the transition from tickle to lasing. Laser output may
occur if the Lase LED flickers.
