Disabling Firestar
Before performing any maintenance on your Firestar
®
ti-Series 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 Firestar ti-Series 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
Inspect beam delivery components for signs of dust or debris and clean as required. When cleaning
the optical surfaces of beam delivery components, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
If you operate your laser or marking head in a dirty or dusty environ-
ment, contact SYNRAD about the risks of doing so and precautions
you can take to increase the longevity of your laser, marking head,
and associated optical components.
Warning
serious
personal
injury
A risk of exposure to toxic elements, like zinc selenide, may result
when certain optical or beam delivery components are damaged. In
the event of damage to laser, marking head, or beam delivery optics,
contact SYNRAD, Inc. or the optics manufacturer for handling
instructions.
