Disabling the v30 laser
Before performing any maintenance on your Firestar
®
OEM v30 laser, be sure to completely disable the
laser by disconnecting DC power from the laser.
Daily inspections
Perform the following steps daily to keep your OEM v30 laser in optimum operating condition. Except for
the procedures described below, no other service is required or should be attempted.
1
For water-cooled lasers, inspect cooling tubing connections for signs of leakage. Check for signs of
condensation that may indicate the cooling water temperature is set below the dew point tempera-
ture. Condensation will damage electrical and optical components inside the laser. See Setting coolant
temperature in the Getting Started chapter for details on preventing condensation.
2
When using compressed air as a purge/assist gas for your beam delivery system, empty water
traps and oil separators on each lter and/or dryer between the laser and your compressed air
source. Compressed air must meet the gas purity specications shown in the Technical Reference
chapter.
