3.8 Connecting the Distribution Box for Laser Safety
• Connect:Connection the 25-pole sub-D connector (
Fig. 3-9/5) of the distribution box for laser safety
(
Fig. 3-9/6) to the safety jack on the rear of the stand.
• To connect the sub-D connectors to the four 15-pole Sub-D jacks at the distribution box for laser
safety signals (
Fig. 3-9/6), proceed as follows:
− laser protection cover/incubator or interlock connector → Type B jack (Fig. 3-9/1),
− multi laser module → Type B jack (Fig. 3-9/2),
− TIRF slider or interlock connector → Type A jack (Fig. 3-9/4).
• Jumpers must be installed onto unused jack terminals of the safety distribution box. This is necessary
for the laser shutter (inside the laser module) to be able to open.
• For operation with your own laser, the laser shutter of the TIRF laser safety kit for Customer-provided
laser modules (432921-0000-000) must be mounted in such a position that it will block the laser
beam when in closed state. Connect the laser shutter with the distribution box via the converter board
(included), using the connection cable (
Fig. 3-9/6; refer to section 2.3.7 on page 29).
Laser safety can only be warranted if the laser shutter is correctly placed in front of the selected
laser’s outlet opening and connections were made in a conforming manner.
