Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Spectra-Physics
®
InSight
®
X3
TM
Laser. This pre-install guide provides
instructions to prepare your laboratory for delivery and installation of the laser. We hope that it is
able to answer many of the questions that you may have regarding the laboratory requirements,
installation procedures, and maintenance.
This guide is meant to be an additional resource in addition to the InSight X3 User’s Manual. It
outlines the main requirements necessary before the laser is delivered. The User’s Manual contains
all the necessary laser safety, compliance, control, and operation information. If there are any
additional questions please ask one of the members of the Spectra-Physics team.
When your laser is ready to ship you will receive a call or email from one of our customer service
engineers to plan out the delivery and installation of the system by one of Field Service Engineers.
Please follow the steps outlined to properly plan for the installation. Important items include the
operating environment, power, computer control, and physical space. A detailed checklist in Section
2 shows the necessary considerations. These requirements must be met prior to installation, and
consideration should be given to all applicable building and safety codes.
We at Spectra-Physics intend to give you responsive and thorough service. For US Customers, the
service team is available at 1-800-456-2552 or service@spectra-physics.com for any questions. For
worldwide support please refer to https://www.spectra-physics.com/company/contact/ or the InSight
X3 user’s guide table 8-1.
