Page 3: Hazard Information
Hazard Information Hazard information includes terms, symbols, and instructions used in this manual, or on the equipment, to alert both operating and service personnel to the recommended precautions in the care, use, and handling of Class 4 laser equipment. Terms Certain terms are used throughout the manual or on the equipment labels. -
Page 4: General Hazards
General Hazards Danger – Serious Personal Injury This Class 4 laser product emits invisible infrared laser radiation at 10.6µm. Do not allow laser radiation to enter the eye by viewing direct or reflected laser energy. CO laser radiation can be reflected from metallic objects even though the surface is darkened. - Page 5 Warning – Serious Personal Injury Materials processing with a laser can generate air contaminates such as vapors, fumes, and/or particles that may be noxious, toxic, or even fatal. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for materials being processed should be thoroughly evaluated and the adequacy of provisions for fume extraction, filtering, and venting should be carefully considered.

Page 7: Laser Safety
Laser Safety To prevent exposure to direct or scattered laser radiation, follow all safety precautions specified throughout this manual and exercise safe operating practices per ANSI Z136.1-2007 at all times when actively lasing. Always wear approved Laser Safety Glasses with a minimum OD (Optical Density) 4.27 for a wavelength of 10.6µm. -

Page 10: Introduction
Introduction This guide provides the basic information needed to operate an Iradion Laser. This laser is designed for use while integrated within a system and is not designed to meet CDRH requirements as a stand-alone product. As such, the user must be aware of certain requirements before use. -
Page 11: System Overview
System Overview Iradion CO lasers are rated from 50 to 120 Watts. They can be overpowered to up to 180 Watts, and they all integrate RFPA and cooling in one package. Two connectors in the rear provide the interface to control signals, power, and returns diagnostic signals and faults signals. Connector pins and associated electronics are protected against static ESD damage. -
Page 12: Quick Start Connection Guide
Quick Start Connection Guide There are two connectors on the rear of the laser available for operation of the laser. The 15 pin “D” connector contains all the available connections for operation. The RJ-45 connector contains a basic set of connections. Power Cable, All Lasers Designation Description... -

Page 15: Nominal Operating Voltages
If fans do not start with power up, this does not indicate fan malfunction! Factory fresh lasers are always shipped with the fan function disabled. See the Iradion LCC Comm Protocol_v1.5 for information on communicating with the laser control card. -
Page 16: Operation Of Unit
Operation of Unit 1. Mount the laser in a manner such that the beam will strike a target capable of absorbing up to 180 Watts of power. Make sure that the airflow openings are clear of any obstructions. 2. Confirm that the signal connections to the laser are secure and tight. Make sure that the power supply is correctly adjusted and is capable of delivering a minimum of the rated amps plus 2 amps margin. -
Page 17: Tickle Pulse
Tickle Pulse Iradion has chosen to follow the industry convention and make provision for the inclusion of a “tickle pulse” function to keep the laser lit during down time. The intent of the tickle pulse is to improve the pulse-to-pulse consistency and timing relative to firing commands received from the control electronics. -
Page 18: Laser Command Signals
During laser bench testing, it is recommended that command signals be generated from an Iradion Laser Controller or properly programed pulse generator. These units can provide the tickle pulse and drive signals needed to test and operate the laser properly. Alternatively, most motion control software packages are designed to provide the proper pulse protocol. -
Page 19: System Test
System Test The operation of the laser is possible after the above connections are completed. To test the laser, apply power and the tickle command signal. If the software settings require a key switch, toggle it off and on. After about 6 seconds, the system will be armed. The interlock connections must be closed to operate the system. -
Page 20: Water Cooled Laser Connections
Water Cooled Laser Connections The 15XX lasers require water cooling connections. The rear plate of these lasers is pictured below: Cooling Specifications: 3.78 – 7.56 liters/minute Flow Rate Non-Condensing, 18˚C to 24˚C Water Temp Inlet Pressure 413kPa Hardness <250mg/liter Heat Load >1.5kW 6 to 8 Particulate Size... - Page 21 NOTE: No condensing allowed. See Dew Point Chart below. Connections to IN and OUT require polyethylene tubing of ½ inch outside diameter that is capable of handling pressure of up to 60 psi (4 bar). The internal cooling components of the laser are rated at 60 psi.

Page 22: Condensation
Condensation In some environments, where the temperature and humidity are high, the temperature setting of the cooler may need to be set higher than the specifications indicate. The chart below shows the dew point at various air temperatures and relative humidity. To determine the dew point temperature, measure the air temperature and relative humidity. -
Page 23: Iradion Rs232 Com Test Software
Iradion RS232 Com Test Software The Iradion Infinity Series Lasers allow user communication to the control card through a utility software package. This package is documented in 91-3005 LCC com protocol (Customer Ver). Certain production functions are omitted in the “customer” version because irreversible changes could be made that would render the laser inoperable. -
