b. Adjust the potentiometer MAIN 1064 (R34) on the Controller PCB until 1.0 ±0.02 VDC is measured
(1 Volt/Joule).
c. Move the DVM probes to TP36 and TPTP38 on the Controller PCB and fire the laser.
d. Adjust the potentiometer SAFE 1064 (R61) on the Controller PCB until 0.00 ±0.02 VDC is measured.
15. Turn all lamps on and place the laser into READY, then press the CALIBRATE button until the second
tone is heard.
NOTE: Depressing the footswitch is not required.
16. Enable the AUTOCALIBRATION by sliding the calibration switch on the Controller PCB SW3 to the
right and turn the laser OFF.
17. Disconnect the test equipment probes from the laser, install the covers and close the front door. Turn
the laser on.
3.6 SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION CHECK
This section verifies the VersaPulse PowerSuite is operating in an optimal condition after the optical alignment
procedures and all the calibration procedures have been completed.
3.6.1 Fiber Alignment Test
This system check out confirms that the laser is functioning correctly.
1. Open the front door turn the system on and allow it to go through auto calibration. After auto calibra-
tion is completed, place the system in service mode.
2. Check the fiber focus alignment using a test fiber.
If the system passes auto calibration and the channel performance appears normal, check for proper
alignment of the beam into the fiber. This is done using a special test fiber (P/N 0621-675-01). The
fiber proximal end is coated with a red ink (Berol 8800 red marker) that records an impression of the
YAG beam footprint where it enters the end of the fiber. The laser is fired into the test fiber, then the
fiber end is examined using a hand held 100X microscope. A good alignment will result in a “concen-
tric” footprint, (i.e., the footprint will be approximately centered in the fiber core and be well away
