Connecting
Cooling tubing connections
The following procedure will guide you in configuring the most efficient cooling system. Please connect
your system exactly as described below.
To connect cooling tubing to your ti-Series laser, refer to Figure 1-4 and perform the following steps:
Figure 1-4 Firestar ti-Series cooling connections
1
Cut and connect a length of tubing to fit between the chiller’s Outlet port and the upper WATER IN
port on the rear of the Firestar ti-Series laser.
2
Cut and connect a length of tubing to fit between the lower WATER OUT port on the rear of the
laser and the chiller’s Inlet port.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
Inlet cooling water temperature must always be maintained above the
dew point to prevent condensation and water damage to your Firestar
laser.
Caution

equipment
damage
Operating the laser at coolant temperatures above 22 °C (72 °F) may
result in decreased performance and/or premature failure of electronic
components.

Turn on the chiller and adjust the temperature setpoint to 18 °C to 22 °C. Regulate coolant flow to
1.0–2.0 GPM (ti60) or 1.5–2.0 GPM (ti100) at less than 60 PSI (4.14 bar) of pressure.

Closely examine all cooling connections and verify that there are no leaks.
