Setup 

4.1. 

Setting the AC Line Voltage and Installing Fuses 

Your  S1FC  Series  Laser  Source  has  been  shipped  from Thorlabs  configured  for  115  VAC  operation. If you  are 
planning to operate your unit using a 220/230 VAC input, or need to replace an open fuse, you must perform the 
following procedure. 

 

Remove the AC power cord if it is connected to the unit. 

 

Remove the cover of the unit by removing the two 4-40 phillips head screws located on the bottom rear of 
the unit and slide the cover off. Refer to Figure 1 on the following page. 

 

Locate the AC Line Select Switch and Fuse Holder. They are located near the AC Input Module towards 
the back of the unit. Refer to Figure 1. 

 

Using a flat blade screwdriver turn the Line Select Switch to the appropriate setting to match the AC input 
voltage you will be using. 

 

Remove  the  cover  to  the  fuse  holder.  You  will  find  the  fuse  installed  in  the  cover.  Remove  the  existing 
fuse and install the appropriate fuse for the line voltage you will be using: 

o

  For 115 VAC operation use 250 mA 

o

  For 220/230 VAC operation use 160 mA 

o

  In  all  cases  use  only  5  mm  x  20  mm  250  VAC  Type  T  Fuses  (IEC  60127-2/III,  low  breaking 

capacity, slow blow)  

 

Reinstall the cover and replace the two 4-40 phillips head screws. 

 

Remove the small cap head screw indicating the previous voltage configuration located on the rear panel, 
above  the  AC  input  housing.  Place  the  screw  in  the  threaded  hole  indicating  the  new  AC  input 
configuration, see Figure 2. 

4.2. 

Initial Set-up 

 

Determine the AC line voltage the unit will be connected to (either 115 VAC or 230 VAC) and set the AC 
Line Voltage Selector Switch to the appropriate position and install the proper fuse.  

 

Locate the unit on a dry, level working surface. 

 

Make  sure  the  POWER  key  switch  on  the  front  of  the  unit  is  in  the  OFF  position  (key  perpendicular  to 
working surface). 

 

Plug  the  female  end  of  the  AC  line  cord  provided  into  the  AC  Input  Receptacle  on  the  rear  of  the  unit. 
Plug the male end into a properly grounded AC socket. 

 

Connect a Fiber Optic cable to the LASER APERTURE on the front panel of the unit.
