Synrad Firestar ti-Series operator’s manual
Connecting
ti60 air-cooled connections
(SA models)
OEM air-cooled ti60 lasers are shipped without cooling fans so customers must provide some type of air
cooling to prevent the laser from overheating. For ti60 lasers, SYNRAD recommends an airflow of at least
150 cubic feet per minute (CFM) for each of the two required fans.
Figure 1-5 illustrates the fan placement necessary to keep the ti60 heat sink temperatures below 50 °C
(122 °F). To provide proper airflow, cooling fans should have a diameter of approximately 4.5–5 inches
(114–127 mm) and have at least 2.25" (57.2 mm) of unobstructed clearance between the outside edge of
the fan housing and any mounting surface or enclosure.
Mount cooling fans so they are centered horizontally
and vertically on each side of the OEM ti60 laser
Figure 1-5 Recommended ti60 cooling fan locations
A +48 VDC output to power customer-supplied cooling fans is available from the SA model’s side-mount-
ed DB-9 connector. Internal circuitry allows the laser to control fan speed based on the laser’s output
power and chassis temperature. Refer to DB-9 connections in the Technical Reference chapter for details.
