EXCEL V OPERATOR MANUAL
D1025, REV H, 10/17
Connecting the System Components
Before connecting the Excel V components, inspect the individual components, cables and electrical
connections for any dirt, debris or damage. Check all electrical cables to ensure they are not frayed or
split. Inspect the handpiece, as instructed in the Maintenance section of this operator manual.
Connecting the Footswitch
Plug the footswitch cable into the footswitch receptacle on the rear of the system console. If the
footswitch is not properly connected when the system is turned on, a pop-up screen with an animated
illustration will be displayed on the touchscreen and the system cannot be placed into READY mode.
Inserting the Remote Interlock Plug
Insert the remote interlock plug into the interlock receptacle on the rear of the system console. The
remote interlock plug must be inserted into the interlock receptacle at all times, whether or not an
external door switch is used.
When using an external door switch, the system completely shuts down if the treatment room door is
opened or the remote interlock plug is removed. To resume treatment, close the treatment room door or
reinsert the remote interlock plug, and restart the system using the keyswitch.
WARNING
Always turn the system OFF before inspecting the handpiece.
Never look directly into the handpiece even when wearing
protective eyewear. Never look directly into the laser beam or at
scattered light from metallic or other reflective surfaces. The 532 nm
and 1064 nm laser beams can cause permanent eye damage.
NOTE
Do not touch the recessed handpiece window; finger oils may
damage the coating.
