SYNRAD OEM v40 Operator’s Manual Version 4
Initial start-up
Note: Each time an OEM laser is powered up or a Keyswitch version is cycled OFF/ON, a five-second
delay occurs between the time that RDY and/or SHT indicators illuminate and Firestar is permit-
ted to lase.
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.
Note: For remote operation (Keyswitch lasers), it is possible to set the Keyswitch to the ON position and
use the Remote Reset/Start Request signal (on the User I/O connector) as a remote keyswitch,
similar to other SYNRAD laser models.
4
Press the UC-2000’s Lase On/Off button. The Lase indicator on the UC-2000 should illuminate.
5
Use the PWM Adj Knob on the UC-2000 to slowly increase power. The LASE LED turns red when
PWM signal pulses are long enough to produce laser output (typically 5–10 µs at 5 kHz). The spot
where the beam hits the beam block increases in brightness to indicate increased power output.
6
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.
7
Place Firestar’s Shutter Switch (if equipped) in the Closed position.
8
On water-cooled v40 lasers, shut off the chiller or otherwise stop coolant flow through the laser.
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.
If your Firestar v40 laser fails to lase, refer to Troubleshooting in the Maintenance/Troubleshooting chapter
for troubleshooting information.
