Safety Features
To comply with laser safety regulations, each IQS-2400 WDM Laser Source
is supplied with special security features.
Interlock Connector
The IQS-2400 WDM Laser Source is equipped with a remote interlock
connector so you can install a security switch or panic button. The WDM
Laser Source is shipped with an internally shorted interlock cap. It is your
responsibility to install external remote interlocks to ensure safe use of
your instrument.
The sticker is affixed to the front panel, just above the
interlock connector to identify it.
The interlock circuit has the following characteristics:
³
When it is open, the WDM Laser Source cannot be activated.
³
If the WDM Laser Source is active before the interlock circuit is
opened, it becomes inactive. For your safety, the WDM Laser Source
will not become active automatically upon closing the interlock circuit.
You will have to turn it on again. Putting the application’s switch to OFF
will shut down the instrument at any time.
The state of the interlock circuit (open or closed) is indicated in the WDM
Laser Source application.
