A CB630C can power two linear flashlamps delivering a total of 30 joules
at 1.83 kV while the CB631C delivers 50 joules at 1.83 kV and the CB632C
84 joules at 1.83 kV.
All Continuum's capacitor banks have a 24V trigger input which carries
the synchronization signal from the power unit. All models of the
CB600C series have a pulse delay time that is adjustable from 50 to
550 µs by the potentiometer which is on the front of the power unit.
5. Service Instructions
WARNING!!
The CB capacitor banks contain high voltage capacitors which
store a potentially lethal electrical charge indefinitely. Observe
these precautions:
• Disconnect all cables including the laser head plug
and 220 Vac input before working on the unit.
• Ensure that the capacitors are at ground before
working on the unit using a 100 Ω 250 watt resistor
(ground bar).
• Remove all metallic objects (rings, watches) and
preferably use only one dry hand in an insulated
glove, to work on the circuits. DO NOT work on
circuits in the CB units without FIRST contacting
our service department.
• Call Continuum service department if there are any
questions about safety procedures for working on
this unit.
