Controls and indicators
Figure 2-4 Firestar f400 controls and indicators
10 Temp Indicator – illuminates green to indicate that coolant temperature and ow is within limits and
that lasing may be enabled. The Temp indicator is red and lasing is disabled if the coolant tempera-
ture rises above safe operating limits.
11 Ready Indicator – illuminates yellow when the laser is enabled, indicating that, after a ve-second
delay, lasing will begin when a PWM Command signal is applied.
12 Shutter Indicator – illuminates blue to indicate that the manual Shutter Switch (if equipped) is Open
and a Shutter Open Request input is connected to the User I/O port so that lasing may be enabled.
When the Shutter indicator illuminates, there is a ve-second delay until PWM inputs are recog-
nized.
13 Lase Indicator – illuminates red to indicate that the laser is actively lasing. The Lase indicator is o
when tickle pulses are being generated and illuminates red when PWM Command signal pulses are
long enough to produce laser output.
14 Keyswitch (Keyswitch models only) – enables/disables operation of the laser. Firestar is enabled when
the Keyswitch is turned to the ON position. Turn the Keyswitch OFF to disable lasing.
15 User I/O Connector – provides a connection point for auxiliary output power, as well as input and
output signals. Refer to User I/O connections in the Technical Reference chapter for pinouts and
signal descriptions.
16 Gas Purge Connector (f400 only) – provides a low pressure nitrogen (or pure air) purge gas connec-
tion to prevent dust and debris from entering the laser housing and damaging electronic or optical
components.
