The Maintenance section includes subsections:
■ Disabling the laser
■ Daily inspections
■ Storage/shipping
■ Cleaning optical components
Disabling the laser
Before performing any maintenance on your SYNRAD Series 48 laser, be sure to completely disable the
laser by disconnecting the laser from its DC power source.
Daily inspections
Perform the following steps daily to keep your Series 48 laser in optimum operating condition. Except for
the procedures described below, no other service is required or should be attempted.
1
For water-cooled lasers, inspect all cooling tubing connections for signs of leakage.
2
Check for signs of condensation that may indicate the cooling water temperature has been set
below the dew point temperature. Condensation will damage electrical and optical components
inside the laser. See Setting coolant temperature in the “Getting Started” section for information on
preventing condensation.
3
Inspect beam delivery components for signs of dust or debris and clean as required. When cleaning
optical surfaces, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
4
Visually inspect the laser’s exterior housing to ensure that all warning labels are present. Refer to
hazard label drawings in the “Laser Safety” section for label types and locations.
Storage/shipping
When preparing your water-cooled Series 48 laser for storage or shipping, remember to drain cooling
water from the laser. In cold climates any water left in the cooling system may freeze, which could
damage internal components. After draining thoroughly, use compressed shop air at no more than 29 PSI
(while wearing safety glasses!) to remove any residual water. When finished, cap all cooling connectors
to prevent debris from entering the cooling system.

If you operate your laser or marking head in a dirty or dusty environ-
ment, contact SYNRAD about the risks of doing so and the precau-
tions you can take to increase the longevity of your laser, marking
head, and associated optical components.
