3 – When the System Arrives
3.1 Inspection
When the system arrives, any sign of damage to the shipping crates should be brought to the
attention of the delivering freight company and noted on the invoice before signing the invoice. A
claim must be filed with that commercial carrier (usually within 30 days). Notify the originating
Spectra-Physics
®
office of any shipping damage. Shipping damage is not covered by Spectra-
Physics.
Your packing list will show all items that you have ordered. Open all the packages and check each
item for possible damage during shipping. Check the items against your packing list. Some items
may have been installed at the factory. Please report any missing or damaged items to Spectra-
Physics.
3.2 Review Instruction Manuals
Please review the InSight
®
X3
TM
user manual to familiarize yourself with the laser system. This is
located on a USB drive included in the shipment and can also be sent electronically by Spectra-
Physics Sales and Service personnel. In particular, please refer to Chapter 4 of the user manual for
more information on installation.
3.3 Laser Safety Considerations
In addition to reviewing the sections in the manual regarding laser safety, be sure to have the proper
safety glasses available for all lab personnel present during the installation of your system. For
more information on laser safety please refer to Chapter 2 of the user manual, contact Spectra-
Physics, or your in-house laser safety officer.
3.4 Diagnostics
During the course of installation, power measurements will be demonstrated on all of the
appropriate wavelengths. Your Customer Service Engineer can identify which specifications will be
demonstrated and the equipment necessary to conduct such tests. A non-standard system will
require special consideration.
To have other published specifications demonstrated, consult with your Customer Service Engineer
to determine whether additional diagnostic equipment will be required.
Basic diagnostics equipment such as power meter and spectrometer are required to operate and
maintain the laser systems. We recommend that you obtain this basic diagnostics equipment before
the system is installed.
