Disabling f-Series lasers
Before performing any maintenance on your Firestar
®
f-Series laser, be sure to completely disable the laser
by disconnecting the DC Power cable (or cables) from the rear of the laser.
Daily inspections
Perform the following steps daily to keep your Firestar f-Series laser in optimum operating condition. Ex-
cept for the procedures described below, no other service is required or should be attempted.
Warning
serious
personal
injury
A risk of exposure to toxic elements, like zinc selenide, may result
when certain optical or beam delivery components are damaged. In
the event of damage to laser, marking head, or beam delivery optics,
contact SYNRAD, Inc. or the optics manufacturer for handling
instructions.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
If you operate your laser or marking head in a dirty or dusty environ-
ment, contact SYNRAD about the risks of doing so and precautions
you can take to increase the longevity of your laser, marking head,
and associated optical components.
1
Inspect all cooling tubing connections for signs of leakage. 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 chapter for details on preventing condensation.
2
When using compressed air as a purge gas on your f201/f400 laser, empty water traps and oil separa-
tors on each lter and/or dryer between the laser and your compressed air source. Compressed air
purity must meet the purge gas specications shown in Table 1-6 in the Getting Started chapter.
