Series 48 operator’s manual
connector (a tickle signal must be applied during laser-off periods). This input is optically-isolated
from the chassis and power supply ground circuit but must not be subjected to common mode
voltages greater than ±50 VDC from chassis ground. The 48-5 laser has two Command inputs,
CTRL1 and CTRL2, that should always be driven identically from the signal source by using a “Y”
cable or “T” BNC connector.
DC Power Cables – The red (+) and black (–) DC Power input cables provide +30 VDC operating
power to the laser. Standard length is 60 inches.
Auxiliary Power Connector – The Auxiliary Power connector is installed in the side panel of the laser
housing and provides an optional 30 VDC @ 350 mA source for powering the UC-2000 Controller.
An auto-resetting solid-state fuse limits line current. Connector power is active after 30 VDC is
applied to the laser.
Laser Exit Aperture – The aperture provides an opening from which the beam is emitted when lasing.
Diode Pointer Power Connector (optional) – The Diode Pointer Power connector is not installed unless
a Diode Pointer is ordered when the laser is built. This connector provides a regulated +5 VDC,
100 mA output for the optional Diode Pointer, available from SYNRAD. The Diode Pointer
connector is internally protected against short circuits by an auto-resetting, solid-state fuse.
Optical Accessory Mounting – The front faceplates of Series 48 lasers are designed with a 6-hole
mounting pattern (refer to the Outline/Mounting diagrams in the “Technical reference” section) to
provide a convenient method for mounting standard beam delivery components available from
SYNRAD. When considering other components not specifically designed as Series 48 options, please
consult the factory for restrictions since excessive weight may cause damage to the laser.
Note: To prevent damage to the laser when mounting optical components, the 8–32 mounting
screws must not extend further than 3/16" into the laser faceplate.
