V) and make sure, it is switched on.
·
You don’t get the desired laser output power
Ø
Is the interlock closed?
·
Check the resistance between the
of the connector jack - it must not
exceed 430
W
.
Ø
Is the laser output turned on?
·
Apply a logical "high" level to pin C15 of ST1 to turn on the laser output. The LED1a
on the controller board must light up.
Ø
The hardware limit I

might be set to 0.
·
Adjust the hardware limit I
LIM
using P1 to the desired value (
Ø
Is the laser diode installed properly?
·
Check the connection cables.
Ø
Is the switch S2 set according to the laser diode polarity?
·
Verify correct polarity and set S2 accordingly.
Ø
Is the photo diode connected properly?
·
Check the connecting cable.
Ø
Are you using a bias voltage with the photo diode in photo current mode?
·
Turn off bias voltage by interrupting the wiring bridge or change the polarity of the di-
ode for photo element mode (refer to section

Ø
Is the desired output power adjusted correctly?
·
Set the ITC1xx to constant power mode (S1) and adjust the desired output power
P
LD
, using P2.
Ø
Is the ITC1xx running in temperature protection mode?
·
Check if the temperature window is set correctly.
·
Check if the laser temperature is out of window (laser is then switched off automati-
cally).
