Initial start-up

■ Without a UC-2000 Controller
Danger
serious
personal
injury
This Class 4 laser product emits invisible infrared laser radiation in
the 10.6 µm CO
2
wavelength band. Since direct or diuse laser radia-
tion can inict severe corneal injuries, always wear eye protection
when in the same area as an exposed laser beam. Do not allow the
laser beam to contact a person. This product emits an invisible laser
beam that is capable of seriously burning human tissue.
Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block
while testing.
With a UC-2000 Controller
Before your Firestar
®
laser is put into service for the rst time, its functionality should be veried. Follow
this procedure to verify the laser system is operating at optimum performance. For this procedure, use the
UC-2000 as a stand-alone controller; do not attempt to control the laser or UC-2000 externally.
Note: When performing the initial start-up sequence, you must rst connect the Quick Start Plug or you
must provide the required Remote Interlock and Shutter Open Request signals to the User I/O
connector. See User I/O connections in the Technical Reference chapter for User I/O pinouts and
signal descriptions.
Warning
serious
personal
injury
On Firestar f-Series OEM lasers, remote interlock faults are not
latched. Clearing the fault condition re-enables the Ready indica-
tor and the laser will re after the ve-second delay provided that
the Shutter indicator is lit and a PWM Command signal is applied.
Because exposure to 10.6 µm CO
2
laser radiation can inict severe
corneal injuries and seriously burn human tissue, the OEM or System
Integrator must ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to
prevent unintended lasing.
Warning
serious
personal
injury
The use of the Quick Start Plug bypasses the laser’s safety interlock
function, potentially exposing personnel in the area to invisible
infrared laser radiation.
The Quick Start Plug is intended only for initial testing and trouble-
shooting by qualied personnel. In normal operation, the laser’s
Remote Interlock input should be connected to the machine’s safety
interlock circuitry.
