Danger
serious
personal
injury
This Class IV laser product emits invisible infrared laser radiation in
the 10.6 µm CO
2
wavelength band. Since direct or diuse laser radia-
tion can inict severe corneal injuries, always wear eye protection
when in the same area as an exposed laser beam. Do not allow the
laser beam to contact a person. This product emits an invisible laser
beam that is capable of seriously burning human tissue.
Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block
while testing.
With a UC-2000 Controller
Before your Firestar
®
laser is put into service for the rst time, its functionality should be veried. Follow
this procedure to verify the laser system is operating at optimum performance. For this procedure, use the
UC-2000 as a stand-alone controller; do not attempt to control the laser or UC-2000 externally.
Warning
serious
personal
injury
On Firestar v40 OEM lasers, remote interlock (INT) faults are not
latched. Clearing the fault condition re-enables the RDY indicator
and the laser will re after the ve-second delay provided that the
SHT indicator is lit and a PWM Command signal is applied. Because
exposure to 10.6 µm CO
2
laser radiation can inict severe corneal
injuries and seriously burn human tissue, the OEM or System Integra-
tor must ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent
unintended lasing.
Caution
possible
equipment
damage
Because of their smaller beam diameter, Firestar lasers have signi-
cantly higher power densities than previous SYNRAD lasers. This
means that even a small amount of contamination on the laser’s
output coupler can absorb enough energy to damage the optic.
Inspect the output coupler periodically for signs of contaminants and
carefully clean as required. In dirty environments, purge the output
coupler using ltered air or nitrogen to prevent vapors and debris
from accumulating on the optical surface.
