SYNRAD OEM v30 Operator’s Manual Version 2
Warning
serious
personal
injury
The use of aerosol dusters containing difluoroethane causes “bloom-
ing”, a condition that significantly expands and scatters the laser
beam. This beam expansion can effect mode quality and/or cause
laser energy to extend beyond the confines of optical elements in the
system, possibly damaging the safety shielding. Do not use air dusters
containing difluoroethane in any area adjacent to CO
2
laser systems
because difluoroethane persists for long time periods over wide areas.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
If you operate your laser or marking head in a dirty or dusty environ-
ment, contact SYNRAD about the risks of doing so and precautions
you can take to increase the longevity of your laser, marking head,
and associated optical components.
Troubleshooting
Interface B (RJ45)
Symptom:
■
The built-in +15 VDC, 250 mA voltage output on Pin 2, DC Out, was accidentally shorted to ground.
Possible Causes:
■
In the event that Pin 2, DC Out, is shorted to ground, the OEM v30 laser will shutdown, but restarts
automatically when the short-circuit is removed.
Beam delivery optics
Symptom:
■
The laser appears to lose power over time; laser output power must be increased to maintain previous
performance.
Possible Causes:
■
Beam delivery optics are coated by vapor residue or debris.
