CDRH Procedures for Compliance
Beam Shutter/Attenuator
Closing the shutter on the back of the gantry will mechanically block the path of the laser beam output and
electronically disable the laser signal to the KLMC box. The Shutter LED on the KLMC box turns red when the
shutter is in the closed position.
Key Switch
To enable the laser, the key switch on the front of the KLMC box must be cycled from OFF to ON. After a 5
second delay the Laser Enable LED will turn green signifying the laser is capable of being enabled. The laser
will not fire with the key switch in the OFF position.
Indicator Lights
The KLMC box will power on when the ‘Laser System Start’ button is pressed on the system’s main electrical
panel. Refer to the KLMC section in this manual for a complete description of each indicator light.
Beam Delivery Sealed
The laser beam path is completely sealed until it exits the nozzle of the optic head assembly.
Remote Interlock
The remote interlock switch allows the laser to be enabled externally. The remote interlock connector is
located on the back of the KLMC box. An entry door, floor mat or light curtains are examples of safety features
that may also be connected to the remote interlock of the system.
