1 Safety
1.1 Explanation of symbols
This symbol is used for all points in these operating instructions to which special
attention is to be paid so that all directives, regulations, instructions and the correct
work sequence are observed, and to prevent minor or serious damage to the laser
system or plant.
1.1.1 General safety instructions
The operating instructions and the safety instructions are to be read and observed
prior to installation and commissioning! The operating instructions must be read,
understood and followed by the operators responsible for the unit. Along with the
in structions in these operating instructions, also observe the generally applicable
safety and accident prevention regulations! All work on installation and commissioning
as well as all maintenance is to be performed by appropriately qualied personnel.
National accident prevention regulations, EN and IEC standards are to be observed.
Appropriately qualied personnel in the context of these basic safety instructions are
persons who are familiar with the tting, installation, placing in operation and operation
of the product and have qualications appropriate to their task.
1.1.2 Laser safety
The unit is a class 3B laser device. Both the direct beam and its reections from
di ffuse reective surfaces are dangerous.The unit emits strong power beams in the
visible spectral range (approx. 400 nm to 700 nm, for more detailed information see
the data sheet, page 14). The radiation can cause irreversible damage to the eyes if the
necessary protective measures are not taken.
1.1.3 Laser area
The laser area is the area in which the values for the maximum permissible irradiation
can be exceeded. Here the possibility of unintentional deection of the laser beam is
also to be taken into account. If operational equipment other than that given in this
manual or another procedure is used, dangerous exposure to the radiation may result.
Laser system screened inside a protective cover
By using suitable screening it can be ensured that people are not exposed to the laser
radiation. In this way the laser class is reduced and it is possible to work with the
closed arrangement without additional limitations or further measures.

5
However, in this case the following requirements apply to the protective cover:
· The protective cover must be appropriate to adequately shield the laser
radiation. It is therefore necessary to use laser safety glass or laser safety
lm for viewing windows.
· The cover itself as well as any doors or aps in the cover must be protected
using the interlock circuit that automatically shuts down and inhibits the laser
immediately on intentional or unintentional opening.
If the interlock circuit is disabled for service or maintenance work on the system with
the cover open, the laser area is enlarged again and the regulations in the next section
“Presence of persons in the laser area” apply.
Presence of persons in the laser area
In the laser area, people are subject to hazards, in particular ocular. Therefore the
follow ing measures must be taken and the following safety regulations observed:
· The room must have an emergency exit.
· The room must be optically screened from the environment (e.g. laser safety
lm on the windows).
· The laser area is to be kept as small as possible, to be bounded by suitable
screening and protected against access by unauthorized persons. The num-
ber of persons in the laser area should be reduced to the minimum.
· There must be a warning device on all entrances to the room that indicates
the laser radiation hazard.
· If the entry doors are not protected using the interlock circuits, opening the
doors easily from the outside must be impossible to prevent thoughtless
entry.
· All persons who are in the laser area during operation must be informed
about the dangers of the laser radiation.
· Laser safety glasses/goggles must be worn in the laser area. The operating
organisation must ensure that suitable safety glasses/goggles are available.
The glasses/goggles are selected in accordance with DIN EN 207. Please see
the data sheet on the unit for the actual wavelength of your laser. Herein-
after, the term safety glasses is always used to refer to suitable laser safety
glasses/goggles. Caution: in some circumstances your laser safety glasses/
goggles may not protect you from a powerful red pilot beam.
· There must not be any potentially explosive substances in the laser area.
Easily inammable substances may catch re.
· Glossy reective equipment must be either removed from the laser area or
covered. Windows and reecting walls are also to be covered with material
with low inammability.

1.2 Warning and information labels
The following warning labels are tted to laser and processing head:
The READYBeam is an OEM certied laser. Please be advised that it has no dedicated
Key Switch. If operated via PC with the software installed, be cautioned that sudden-
ly unplugging it during “Lasing,” will cause it to emit radiation when plugged in the
next time. Always make sure to turn it to the “off” position prior to shutting down the
computer.
1.3 Correctandspecieduseoftheunit
It is forbidden to commission the laser system until it has been ensured that the
ma chine or plant in which the laser system has been tted complies with the appli-
cable safety regulations. The organisation operating the plant is solely liable for any
damage caused by incorrect use of the unit. The organisation operating the system is
respon sible for the correct conditions in relation to operation, maintenance and repair.
The only personnel to be tasked with operation, maintenance and repair are personnel
who have been adequately instructed in the function of the laser system and who
have also been instructed specically on the dangers and risks of incorrect handling of
the system.

7
1.4 Warranty conditions
The warranty period is 12 months from delivery. The warranty covers the entire laser
module. The warranty will become void on the
· unauthorized opening of the unit‘s components
· operation of the unit in an unauthorized conguration
· improper use, storage or transport (e.g. vibration, temperature shock, the
action of frost)
1.4.1 Limits of the warranty
No warranty of the suitability of the product for specic applications is provided.
FISBA is not liable for indirect, direct or consequential damages caused by the use of
this product.

2.2 Installation and commissioning
Note that the laser module with electronic driver is not a product for direct use.
Security elements, such as interlock, and emergency switch are not included in
the laser module. If the laser module is used as part of system or product, then the
responsibility for safety lies with the product development team of the product.
When operating the laser module, the laser safety regulations must be observed.
2.2.1 Unpacking and checking for visible damage
Check the completeness of the delivery and check that all the items supplied are in
good condition. In case of errors please contact FISBA AG (readybeam@sba.com).
If possible, keep the packaging in which the laser system was supplied. It will then
be possible to pack the unit in its original packaging and transport it safely in case of
repair.
2.2.2 Installation
The laser module can be mounted with screws on a at bottom plate. The bottom
plate should be cooled and the heat transfer should be at least 7W to hold the module
on a stable operating temperature. The laser module READYBeam is TEC-controlled.
Incorrect cooling effects the laser power and can destroy the laser diodes. During
assembly of the laser module on a plane cooling surface, attention is required so that
no tension can apply to the casing. Tension inuences the beam quality very strongly.
The connection must be handled carefully.
2.2.3 Operating the FISBA READYBeamTM
· The safety regulations must be carefully observed
· A power supply between +12 and +24V with max. 4 Ampere is needed
to start the READYBeam
· FISBA READYBeamTM can be started digital with the software application
and RS485 interface or analog based controlled
2.2.4 Software Setup
· Visit sba.com/readybeam-software to download the software
· Unpack the les from downloaded folder
· Start “RGB Service Software Setup.msi” and follow the
installation instructions
· You need an USB - RS485 interface cable for the digital operating mode
See the details in the appendix (Figure 1 on page 13)

2.2.6 Modulation mode
On the Interface, the three channels can be set as either on “Digital” to control
On/Off modulation via software with a maximum pulse frequency of 100 Hz, or
to “Analog” for external control in On/Off mode or continuous waveform modulation.

On/Offmodulation
On/Off modulation is best when the operator wants fast and accurate modulation with
discrete signals. Digital modulation is possible with two options. Option one is over
the SW up to 100Hz. Option two over a 0-3.3V TTL input signal up to 1MHZ. For digital
modulation over SW, choose “Digital” from the “Modulation Mode” drop-down menu
on the main screen and set “Pulse Enable” to ON and set “On Time “ and “Off Time”.
The unit of On and Off Time is ms. For digital modulation over TTL input signal, choose
“Analog” from the “Modulation Mode” drop-down menu on the main screen and use
a function generator or a similar external signal source for the 0-3.3V TTL input Signal.
A function generator, or similar external signal source, is needed to drive the modula-
tion.
Continuous waveform
To modulate the laser power choose “Analog” from the “Modulation Mode” drop-
down menu. The signal is calibrated from 0.33V to 3.3V. This corelates with 10% to
100% of laser power. Below 0.33V the laser power is not longer linear and below the
threshold current the laser is no longer in lasing mode. A function generator, or similar
external signal source, is needed to drive the modulation.
