Figure 2-3 Firestar f200 controls and indicators
1 Shutter Switch (f200 only) – activates a mechanical shutter that opens or closes the laser aperture.
Closing the shutter also interrupts RF power to the laser. There is a ve-second delay imposed from
the time the shutter is opened to the time that PWM Command signals are accepted.
2 Laser Aperture – provides an opening in Firestar’s front panel from which the beam exits.
3 Aperture Seal – prevents dust from damaging the output coupler during shipping. Remove the red
self-adhesive label before applying power to the laser.
4 Optical Accessories Mounting – provides six threaded holes (8–32 UNC) for mounting optional
beam delivery components available from SYNRAD. Because excessive weight may damage the
laser, consult SYNRAD before mounting components not specically designed as Firestar options.
Refer to Firestar package outline drawings in the Technical Reference chapter for mounting dimen-
sions.
Note: When mounting optical components to f-Series lasers, the 8–32 UNC fasteners must extend no
further than 4.8 mm (0.19") into the laser’s faceplate.
5 Diode Pointer Power Connector (f200 only) – provides a convenient +5 VDC, 50 mA receptacle to
power a visible red diode pointer (available from SYNRAD as an optional accessory).
6 WATER OUT and WATER IN Ports – provides connection points for Firestar’s cooling system using
non-removable straight 1/2-inch ttings. A cooling kit contains 90° tubing adaptors for both 1/2-
inch and 12-mm cooling tubing.
7 FUSE Holder – protects laser circuitry with a 20 A, 125 V fast-acting fuse.
8 DC POWER Connector – receives 96 VDC from the DC power supply.
9 Remote Interlock Indicator – illuminates green to indicate that a remote interlock circuit is closed and
that lasing may be enabled. The Remote Interlock indicator is red and lasing is disabled if the inter-
lock input is open.
