3.4.2 Probe Interface
The Power switch on the interface activates the interface (ON) and deactivates the interface and probe (OFF).
A separate key on the interface enables the laser. A momentary switch initiates the laser on sequence. If the
fiber optic cables are not sensed or the probe does not respond within a preset time – as would be the case if
the interconnecting fiber optic cables are not fully installed or damaged - the laser is turned off as a safety
precaution.
Front panel indicators show that the AC power is applied, when the interface’s laser is on, F/O cable
connection status and that the probe is responding.

Key Switch
Enables the laser power supply.
3
Laser On Switch
Illuminated momentary switch to start laser on sequence. Switch is illuminated when laser is on.
4
F/O Status LED
Illuminates Green when F/O connection is sensed. Illuminates Red if cable fault is present.
5
System Fault LED
Illuminates Red if probe communication is terminated and F/O cable is still sensed. Off indicates
safe condition (no faults).
