Pin Function Description
1 PWM Return
Use this input pin as the return side of the PWM Command signal.
2 Remote Reset/Start Request input
Apply a positive or negative voltage (±5–24 VDC) with respect to Pin 11, Input Common,
to reset or remote keyswitch the laser. The laser remains disabled while voltage is applied.
Removing voltage from the Remote Reset/Start Request input causes the laser’s Ready
indicator to illuminate and begins a ve-second countdown after which lasing is enabled.
3 Remote Interlock input
Apply a positive or negative voltage (±5–24 VDC) with respect to Pin 11, Input Common,
to enable lasing. If your system does not use a remote interlock, this input must be con-
nected to a voltage source in the range of ±5–24 VDC. Refer to Figure 3-7 for a diagram
showing how the Remote Interlock input is factory-jumpered on the Quick Start Plug.
4 + 5 VDC Auxiliary Power
This connection provides +5 VDC for driving external inputs or outputs. The +5 VDC
Auxiliary Power output can source up to 0.5 A and is protected by a 0.5 A self-resetting
fuse. The return (ground) path must be through Pin 12, Auxiliary DC Power Ground.
5 + 24 VDC Auxiliary Power
This connection provides +24 VDC for driving external inputs or outputs. The +24 VDC
Auxiliary Power output can source up to 0.5 A and is protected by a 0.5 A self-resetting
fuse. The return (ground) path must be through Pin 12, Auxiliary DC Power Ground.
6 Laser Active output
This bi-directional switched output is internally connected to Pin 13, Output Common,
when the laser is actively lasing (Lase indicator illuminated red). This output is open (high
impedance) when no beam is being emitted (Lase indicator O).
7 Over Temperature output
This bi-directional switched output is internally connected to Pin 13, Output Common,
when laser temperature is above safe operating limits (Temp LED illuminated red). The
output is open (high impedance) when laser temperature is within limits (Temp LED green).
