Turn on the chiller and adjust the temperature setpoint to 18 °C to 22 °C. Regulate coolant flow
to 0.5 GPM (48-1) or 0.8 GPM (48-2) at less than 60 PSI of pressure.

Closely examine all cooling connections and verify that there are no leaks.
48-5 cooling tubing connections
Cooling water enters the laser through the two lower side-mounted tubes plus one of the center-mounted
cooling tubes located on the laser’s rear plate. Cooling water flows through the tubes and out the two
top-mounted cooling tubes and the other center-mounted tube. The front central tubes are “jumpered”
using a “U” fitting while the front side and top connections on the front plate are also jumpered using
two right angle connections. The cooling kit also includes quantities of both straight and elbow fittings;
you can order other compatible fittings from your local fitting supply house. All fittings are quick-
disconnect types.
To connect cooling tubing to your 48-5 laser, refer to Figure 1-4 and perform the following steps:
Figure 1-4 48-5 cooling connections
1
Connect the Water Intake manifold tubing to both of the laser’s lower side-mounted coolant tubes
and one of the center coolant tubes on the rear plate.
2
Connect the Water Intake fitting to your coolant source.
3
Connect the Water Outlet manifold tubing to both of the laser’s upper coolant tubes and one of
the center coolant tubes on the rear plate.
4
Connect the Water Outlet fitting to your coolant return or drain.
5
On the front plate, connect one right angle connection between one of the lower coolant tubes and
its corresponding upper coolant tube. Repeat this step on the other set of lower/upper tubes.
6
Connect the “U” connector between both of the center coolant tubes.
