Troubleshooting
Possible Causes:
■ The remote interlock circuit momentarily opened.
Remote interlock faults are not latched on OEM lasers. This means that if an interlock open fault occurs,
the Remote Interlock indicator will turn red, the Interlock Open output will Close, the Ready light goes out,
and lasing is disabled. However, if the interlock circuit closes, the Remote Interlock indicator will change
from red to green, the Ready light illuminates, and ve seconds later lasing is enabled.
Symptom:
■ There is no output laser beam and all LED status indicators are O
Possible Causes:
■ The 20 A fast-acting fuse has blown.
Remove DC power from the laser and then check each fuse on the rear panel. Replace as required using
only a Bussman ABC-20 or equivalent.
Symptom:
■ There is no output laser beam from your f201 or f400 laser, but status indicators appear as:
Remote Interlock LED – Green Interlock Open output – Open
Temp LED – Green Over Temperature output – Open
Ready LED – O Laser Ready output – Open
Shutter LED – Blue Shutter Open output – Closed
Lase LED – O Laser Active output – Open
Possible Causes:
■ One of the two 20 A fast-acting fuses has blown.
On f201 or f400 lasers, a single blown 20 A fuse on the laser’s rear panel may cause the Ready lamp to re-
main O while other LEDs indicate normal status. Remove DC power from the laser and then check each
fuse on the rear panel. Replace as required using only a Bussman ABC-20 or equivalent.

Warning
serious
personal
injury
The use of aerosol dusters containing dioroethane causes “bloom-
ing”, a condition that signicantly expands and scatters the laser
beam. This beam expansion can eect mode quality and/or cause
laser energy to extend beyond the connes of optical elements in
the system, possibly damaging acrylic safety shielding. Do not use air
dusters containing dioroethane in any area adjacent to CO
2
laser
systems because dioroethane persists for long time periods over wide
areas.
