Aperture Window
To clean the aperture output window use a soft cloth
and medical grade isopropyl alcohol. If necessary, you
can remove the aperture output window by loosing the
4socket bolts and clean the inside ofthe window aswell.
Cooling Fans
Use compressed air for cleaning the bottom part of the
laser system. There are cooling fans located atthe bottom
of the heat sink and they are vital for correct operation
of the laser system. Please always ensure that they are
spinning freely.
You should perform this service every 2 months ifthe laser
isused regularly oreven more often ifitisused industy
conditions.
Internal Optics
The cleaning of the internal optical components should
beperformed byanauthorised technician only. Incorrect
techniques orwrong choice ofchemicals used for cleaning
could cause serious damage to the laser system. Due
tothe fact that the optical compartment issplit and sealed
from the rest ofthe laser system itshouldn’tbenecessary
toperform this procedure more often than once ayear.
Drying agent cartridge
Drying agent cartridge (silica gel desiccant) helps toprevent
water condensation inside the optical compartment ofthe
laser system, which ismuch needed inhigh temperatures
and high humidity environments. The desiccant cartridge
isinstalled onthe inside ofthe optical compartment cover.
!
It is essential to regularly inspect the
condition of the silica gel granules
inside the cartridges. That can bedone
through the opening inthe middle ofthe
cartridge. If the colour of the granules
inside the cartridge is green, instead
ofbrown (brown iswhen they are dry),
itmeans they are soaked, and they must
bedried out. Inspect the cartridge every
time you open the optical compartment,
oratleast once amonth.
The drying out process ispretty simple:
1. Detach the cartridge from the cover and place itinto
the conventional oven - donot use microwave!!!
2. Heat the oven to120ºC (250ºF) and leave the cartridge
inside for about 2-3 hours, until all the moisture
isreleased.
3. Insert the cartridge back into its place and close the
optical compartment cover as soon as the cartridge
cools down. That way, it will absorb the maximum
amount of moisture from the inside of the optical
section.
!
If the granules don’t turn brown during
this process, they must bereplaced with
new ones.
Maintenance: no user serviceable parts inside.
