time to reach full power. The unit will stay “warm” for some time even if
off.
This fixture does not have a set duty cycle but we do not recommend
using it for more than four hours continuously.
From time to time be sure to clean the aperture with a dry tissue that
does not pill. You may also use an alcohol prep wipe and compressed air
to blow dust from the vents. BE SURE the alcohol has dried fully before
activating the laser. This is the only user allowed maintenance.
Always keep all factory supplied labels on the unit and visible. These are
all required for legal compliance.
During any use of your X-Laser
®
product, be sure to leave an open
space around all sides of the laser to facilitate airflow through the unit.
Do not obstruct the holes in the casing as these permit air to enter and
cycle though the unit.
Temperature and Lasers
Lasers work best at room temperature with colder and warmer tempera-
tures resulting in inconsistent performance. Always ensure that the laser
housing has excellent airflow around the case and that the air is no
colder than sixty degrees and no warmer than ninety degrees. Failure to
do so may result in weak output, overly strong output (this is also a
safety issue!) which will diminish the life of the unit and/or large output
power swings. All X-Laser
®
products are thermostatically monitored so
we can determine if a diode failure was temperature related. Such fail-
ures are NOT covered under our manufacturer’s warranty. Extreme cold
and hot temperatures WILL cause a diode failure. Keep this unit climate
controlled at ALL times.
