OXXIUS L4Cc - How to Power up the Combiner; How to Activate the Shutters

HOW TO POWER UP THE COMBINER
- Plug the power cord of the power supply into your mains socket,
- Power the optical bench on by pressing the main power switch on the right-hand side of the rear panel,
- Check that the appropriate security measures relative to laser radiation are enforced (refer to section 1,
“Safety Information”), then activate the emission by turning the actuated key master control clockwise
on the remote control,
- Depending on its model, each laser source will require a warm-up period (up to two minutes for a LBX,
up to ten minutes for a LCX or a LPX). The status indicator on the remote-control blinks during this
period.
- Past the warm-up period, each laser will start emitting. The status indicator is lit in solid green when all
the activated sources emit steadily. Open the shutter on the output channel to release the beam (refer
to the following paragraph “How to activate the shutters”).
NOTES
- All the laser sources are activated on start-up as per their default setting. In order to turn off these
sources, refer to the following paragraphs “Selective deactivation of the laser sources” and “Configuring
the combiner”.
- The amount of power emitted by each source depends on its configuration. Refer to “How to set the
power levels” below and to the following chapter: “Configuring the combiner”.
- If an error occurs on any of the sources, the alarm indicator on the remote control will be lit in solid red.
Use the GUI to identify the cause of this alarm.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE SHUTTERS
Optical shutters are devices that are inserted on the light path and completely absorb the beam when
activated. On a standard configuration, there is one shutter on each of the output channels, in addition to
one shutter on each of the LCX laser sources.
DANGER
LASER RADIATION
As soon as the remote interlock is defeated and the emission key is turned on, the laser
emission can be released any time from the different output channels.
