Initial start-up
The Initial start-up section includes subsections:
■ With a UC-2000 Controller
■ Without a UC-2000 Controller
With a UC-2000 Controller
Before your Series 48 laser is put into service for the first time, its functionality should be verified. Follow
this procedure to verify the laser system is operating at optimum performance. For this procedure, use the
UC-2000 as a stand-alone controller; do not attempt to control the laser or UC-2000 externally.
Note: When performing the initial start-up sequence, check that the factory-installed DB9 jumper
plug is installed. If not, you must provide the required Remote Interlock and Remote Key-
switch signals to the DB9 Connector. See DB9 connections in the “Getting Started” section for
DB9 pinouts and signal descriptions.
Starting auxiliary equipment
1
Ensure that all personnel in the area are wearing protective eyewear.
2
Place a beam block 24 inches from the laser aperture to prevent the beam from traveling beyond
the work area.
3
On water-cooled systems, turn on the chiller (set between 18 °C to 22 °C) and verify that it is
delivering 0.5 GPM (48-1), 0.8 GPM (48-2), or 1.5 GPM (48-5) at less than 60 psi of pressure.
Examine all cooling connections carefully for leaks.
Danger
serious
personal
injury
This product emits invisible infrared laser radiation at the 10.6 µm
CO
2
wavelength. Since direct or diffuse laser radiation can inflict
severe corneal injuries, always wear eye protection when in the same
area as an exposed laser beam. Do not allow the laser beam to
contact a person. This product emits an invisible laser beam that is
capable of seriously burning human tissue.
Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block
while testing.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
Inlet cooling water temperature must always be maintained above
the dew point to prevent condensation and water damage to your
laser.
