SYNRAD OEM v40 Operator’s Manual Version 4
Mounting
The Mounting section includes subsections:
■ Fastening from above
■ Fastening from below
Firestar’s base plate is designed so that the laser is easily mounted to either vertical or horizontal surfaces
using only three fasteners. Three ball bearing “feet” pressed into Firestar’s base plate eliminate any possible
distortion of the laser tube caused by variations in the atness of the surface on which the laser is mounted.
Refer to the v40 package outline drawings in the Technical Reference chapter for mounting locations and
dimensions. Read through the mounting sections below to determine which set of mounting holes are re-
quired for your application. When mounting Firestar lasers, you can choose to fasten from above, into your
mounting surface, or from below, into Firestar’s base plate.
Note: To allow proper airow, air- or fan-cooled units must have at least 2.25" (57.2 mm) of unobstruct-
ed clearance between the outside edge of the cooling fan and any enclosure or surface.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
SYNRAD does not recommend mounting lasers in a vertical “head-
down” or “tail-down” orientation. If you must mount your laser in
this manner, please contact the factory for limitations as vertical
orientation increases the risk of damage to the laser’s output optic.
Fastening from above
To fasten Firestar to a mounting surface from above, perform the following steps:
1
Refer to the appropriate outline and mounting drawing for dimensions and then drill and tap three
1/4–20 UNC holes into your mounting surface. These hole locations should correspond to the two
slots labeled “A” and the thru hole labeled “B” shown in Figure 1-2.
