Synrad Firestar ti-Series operator’s manual
Connecting
Note: Because AC input connections and requirements vary from facility to facility, customers must
provide the AC power cable or wiring.
4
On the front of the DC-48 power supply, connect the neutral AC wire, typically white, to the AC
neutral input terminal labeled “N”.
5
Connect the hot AC wire, typically black, to the AC input line terminal labeled “L”.
6
Connect the ground wire, typically green, to the input terminal labeled with the ground symbol.
Control connections
All control connections to Firestar ti-Series lasers are made through the 15-pin User I/O connector on the
laser’s rear panel. The User I/O port receives power commands from SYNRAD’s UC-2000 Universal Laser
Controller and also serves as the connection point for auxiliary signals between the laser and any parts
handling, automation, or monitoring equipment.
Warning
serious
personal
injury
Always use shielded cable when connecting your PWM Command
signal source to PWM Input/PWM Return inputs. In electrically-
noisy environments, long lengths of unshielded wire act like an
antenna and may generate enough voltage to trigger uncommanded
lasing.
UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller
SYNRAD recommends the use of a UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller to generate pulse width modu-
lated (PWM) Command signals that control the laser’s output power. To connect a UC-2000 Controller
(available separately), perform the following steps:
1
Remove DC power from the laser.
2
Locate the Quick Start Plug in the ship kit.
Note: The Quick Start Plug is not included with SA models, but may be ordered separately.
3
Connect the Quick Start Plug to the User I/O connector on the rear of the laser.
4
Attach the BNC connector on the end of the UC-2000’s Power/Control cable to the BNC connector
on the rear of the Quick Start Plug.
5
Connect the miniature DC power plug on the UC-2000’s Power/Control cable to the miniature con-
nector on the wall plug transformer cable.
6
Connect the mini-DIN connector on the other end of the UC-2000’s Power/Control cable to the
Laser connector on the UC-2000’s rear panel.
7
Plug the compact transformer into any 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz outlet.
