Visual and Operational Inspection
The ClarityPlus laser is packed in a carton designed to give adequate protection during shipment. If the
outside of the shipping carton is damaged, notify your shipping department and carrier immediately. If
the external packaging is not damaged carefully remove the contents. The contents should include:
ClarityPlus instrument
Power cord
Certificate of Compliance and manual (manual may be emailed separately).
BNC rear interlock short (affixed to instrument rear panel).
Optional accessories may include:
Optical fiber jumper cables
RS-232 to USB adapter and driver software

Operating Environment
The ClarityPlus laser should be used in an area which satisfies the following conditions:
Ambient Temperature: 15
C to 45
C (operating temperature)
Relative Humidity: <85% non-condensing
Low noise area. While the Clarity laser is designed for noise immunity the best performance
will be achieved in a low EMF area. Please use a noise line filter in an area where high noise
is unavoidable

Connections
Front Panel:
The front panel connection is the fiber optic laser output. The standard output has a spring hinged door
to shield the laser output when no fiber connection is made. The standard fiber connector is SCAPC
although an adaptor for FCAPC is available. Take care to clean all fiber connections to the laser well
before making connection. This will help keep the internal ferrule clean and undamaged. If the internal
ferrule is dirty you can attempt to clean it using ferrule cleaning tools available from a number of vendors.
It is suggested that if repeated connection to the laser is planned that a jumper be left connected to the
laser and repeated connection made to the jumper and not the laser.
Rear Panel:
The rear panel has three connections: a standard IEC universal power connection with integral fuse, a
BNC connector for laser interlock (ships with BNC short for laser operation
– see Section 5.1.3) and a 9
