4.6 Interlock
ORPHEUS is equipped with an interlock mechanism. It is impossible to open the shutter when the
interlock is active. The interlock is activated when an electrical circuit is broken, which happens when
ORPHEUS cover is opened. This releases the button thus breaking the circuit.
Never work with ORPHEUS cover removed unless aligning
the device. Always pay close attention to safety precautions
detailed in this manual, documentation of the laser and
regulations in your laboratory.
To defeat the interlock, pull the button upwards.
