installed shorting jumpers wired into it to enable these inputs. Connect the Quick Start Plug to the User
I/O connector when performing initial start-up and testing of your i401 laser.
For further information about User I/O connector, see User I/O connections in the Technical Reference
section for User I/O pinouts and signal descriptions. See Integrating I401 safety features, also in the
Technical Reference section, for detailed instructions on integrating I401’s key switch, shutter, and
remote interlock functions with automated control systems.
UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller
Novanta recommends the use of a UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller to generate pulse width modu-
lated (PWM) Command signals that control the laser’s output power. To connect a UC-2000 Controller
(available separately), perform the steps described below:
Note: i401 lasers can also be controlled from an alternate user-supplied Command signal source.
Refer to Controlling laser power in the Technical Reference section for control signal
descriptions and refer to User I/O connections, also in the Technical Reference section, for
signal specifications and connection details.
1
Disconnect DC power from the laser.
2
Locate the Quick Start Plug in the ship kit.
3
Connect the Quick Start Plug to the User I/O connector on the rear of the i401 laser.
4
Attach the BNC connector on the end of the UC-2000’s Power/Control cable to the BNC
connector on the rear of the Quick Start Plug.
5
Connect the miniature DC power plug on the UC-2000’s Power/Control cable to the miniature
connector on the cable from the UC-2000’s wall plug transformer.
6
Connect the mini-DIN connector on the other end of the UC-2000’s Power/Control cable to the
Laser connector on the UC-2000’s rear panel.
7
Plug the UC-2000’s compact transformer into any 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz outlet.
Other connections
Gas Purge port
A gas purge is highly recommended when operating the laser. Purging the laser creates positive
pressure inside the laser housing that prevents dirt and debris from accumulating on optical surfaces
inside the laser housing. In condensing atmospheres, a gas purge helps to reduce the potential for
condensation damage.
To connect the i401 gas purge port, refer to Figure 1-12 and perform the following steps:
Warning: Serious Personal Injury
Always use shielded cable when connecting your PWM Command signal source to PWM
Input/PWM Return inputs. In electrically noisy environments, long lengths of unshielded wire act
like an antenna and may generate enough voltage to trigger uncommented lasing.
