Synrad Firestar f-Series operator’s manual
Connecting
5
Attach the red wire with the positive “+” marker to the positive (+) 96 VDC output
terminal on the DC power supply. Tighten the terminal nut to a maximum torque of 4.0
N m (35 in lb).
6
Attach the green ground wire with the “GND” marker to one of the fasteners securing
the output terminal block to the power supply chassis.
7
Re-install the terminal guard over the output terminal block.
8
On the plug end of the cable, line up the tabs on the end of the connector with the slots
in the DC POWER connector on the laser’s rear panel.
9
Fully insert the connector into the DC POWER connector and then twist clockwise
until it locks into position.
Note: To disconnect Firestar’s DC Power cable, slide the release lever towards the rear of the
connector, twist the connector counterclockwise, and then remove.
10
If connecting a Firestar f200 dual-tube laser, repeat steps 1–9 for the second DC Power
cable. Plug this cable into the other DC POWER connector on the f200 rear panel.
DC Power cable—f201/f400 lasers
1
Verify that input AC power to the DC power supply is physically locked out or discon-
nected.
2
Locate the f201/f400 DC Power cable. The DC Power cable is 5.0 meters (16 feet) long
with a plug on one end and ve connection lugs on the other. This cable has a minimum
bending radius of 124.5 mm (4.90").
3
Carefully remove the plastic terminal guard from the output terminal block.
Important Note: Always re-install the terminal guard to protect users against inadvertent
contact with hazardous DC voltages on the connection lugs and DC
output terminals.
4
On the lug end of the cable, attach the two black wires with the “0 VDC” markers to the
negative (–) 96 VDC output terminal on the DC power supply. Tighten the terminal nut
to a maximum torque of 4.0 N m (35 in lb).
5
Attach the two red wires with the “+96 VDC” markers to the positive (+) 96 VDC
output terminal on the DC power supply. Tighten the terminal nut to a maximum torque
of 4.0 N m (35 in lb).
6
Attach the green ground wire with the “GND” marker to one of the fasteners securing
the output terminal block to the power supply chassis.
7
Re-install the terminal guard over the output terminal block.
8
On the plug end of the cable, line up the keys on the end of the connector with the slots
in the DC POWER connector on the laser’s rear panel.
9
Fully insert the plug into the DC POWER connector and then twist the lock ring 1/4
turn clockwise until it locks into position.
