Attention
The maximum laser output current for the ITC4020 is 20A. Use only the specified con-
nector type: 13W3 mixed DSUB plug with high power contacts A1, A2, and A3 rated for at
least 20A current. For wiring of A1, A2, and A3 use only wires rated for at least 20A cur-
rent.
If Thorlabs laser diode mounts like TCLDM9, LDM21, or LM14S2 are used, the easiest way to
connect them using a shielded cable CAB4005 (rated Laser current is 5A).
For use of other equipment's, a shielded cable with two 13W3 mixed DSUB plugs, CAB4006,
(20A Laser current rating) is also available.
If using a custom-made cable, we recommend to use a shielded cable for the sensor inputs
with twisted pairs. Use a separate shielded cable for the Laser current and Laser voltage meas-
