5-1 Combiner under alarm
Alarms are a category of status informing of off-limits operational conditions. When an alarm is raised, laser
operation is not possible until the cause of the alarm is fixed. Resuming the emission requires that the unit is
re-activated by the emission key.
An alarm status is expressed to the user by any of these means:
• the “Alarm” LED in solid red on the remote control (refer to section 2, paragraph 2.4 for a
description of the remote control),
• the software query “AL?” return the specific identification of the alarm
