Caution
possible
equipment
damage
Do not flow coolant through the laser for an extended period of time
when the laser is shutdown. This causes condensation to form inside
the laser which may result in catastrophic damage to internal optics
and electronic circuits.
Initial start-up
5
Remove DC power from the laser.
6
Shut off the chiller or otherwise stop coolant flow through the laser.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
Inlet cooling water temperature must always be maintained above the
dew point to prevent condensation and water damage to your Firestar
laser.
7
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.
If your Firestar i401 laser fails to lase, refer to
Troubleshooting
in the Maintenance/Troubleshooting chapter
for troubleshooting information.
Without a UC-2000 Controller
If you have chosen not to use a UC-2000 to control the laser, follow the procedure below to verify the
laser’s functionality. Although a tickle signal is not required, you will need to provide PWM Command
signals to Firestar’s
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.
Note:
When performing the initial start-up sequence, you must first connect the
Quick Start Plug
or you
must provide the required
Remote Interlock
and
Shutter Open Request
signals to the
User I/O
connector. See
User I/O connections
in the Technical Reference chapter for
User I/O
pinouts and
signal descriptions.
Starting auxiliary equipment
1
Ensure that all personnel in the area are wearing protective eyewear.
2
Place a beam block 0.5 meters (20 in.) inches from the laser aperture to prevent the beam from trav-
eling beyond the work area.
