5 Mechanical Installation
Caution: For reliable operation, the laser should not be exposed to corrosive
agents or excessive moisture, heat or dust.
General installation
Installation surface The laser must be installed on a level surface that is free from vibrations.
Environment The ambient temperature surrounding the laser should be stable and free from
temperature fluctuations such as heat or cold sources. Temperature changes
and vibrations may affect the laser’s operation and result in abnormal operation.
Ambient environment
15-30°C non-condensing
Air cooling The laser is cooled with forced air. The air is drawn in through the air inlet vent on
the front panel and blown out through the exhaust vent on the rear panel.. There
should be a clearance gap of 7.5 cm (3 inches) in front of the inlet and exhaust
vents to allow the free flow of air.
Caution: Do not place or stack items on top of the laser. Doing so may affect its
operation and cause damage.
Output fiber Do not bend the output fiber such that it exceeds its maximum bending radius.
The output fiber can be coiled down to a maximum 10 cm diameter.
