Global Laser GreenLyte-MV Excel User manual

GreenLyte-MV Excel
User Guide
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the GreenLyte-MV
Excel laser. These lasers emit a green uniform
line. You will have one of the following two
versions:
• CW + Linear intensity / modulation control
version
• CW + TTL modulation control version
If you have any problems or require help when
using the GreenLyte-MV Excel please call us
on [phone] or contact your local
representative.
2. PRODUCT OPERATION
2A. CW + LINEAR MODULATION / CONTROL VERSION
Connect Binder connector to back of laser
- CW Mode
To operate laser in CW mode the Red, Black and Blue leads should be connected to the
following:
1. Red lead: +3.3 Vdc to +6 Vdc
2. Black lead: 0 Vdc
3. Yellow lead: Not connected
4. Blue Lead: V supply if not using as enable switch
- Linear Modulation function
To linearly modulate the laser any modulation signal up to 200 kHz (dependant on diode)
with an amplitude of 0 V to +1 Vdc can be applied to yellow lead.
1. Red lead: +3.3 Vdc to +6 Vdc
2. Black lead: 0 Vdc
3. Yellow lead: input modulation signal (0 Vdc to +1 Vdc)
4. Blue Lead: V supply if not using as enable switch
- Linear intensity control
Alternatively the yellow lead can be used for a linear power control function. In this situation,
the laser power is determined by a voltage applied to the yellow lead, 0V turning the laser off
and +1 Vdc giving maximum power, with linear trend between. (See linear intensity graph)
1. Red lead: +3.3 Vdc to +6 Vdc
2. Black lead: 0 Vdc
3. Yellow lead: Input control voltage (0 Vdc to +1 Vdc)
4. Blue Lead: V supply if not using as enable switch

- Enable Switch
An on/off switch function is available via the blue wire. Applying 0 V will switch the laser off
whilst applying Vsupply leaves the laser on. A TTL switch can be utilised via this lead. If not
using this function please connect the lead
to the V supply.
Setting the power via a resistor
The control wire has a 10k Ohm input
impedance connected to an internal 1V
source which is used as the reference
for the factory set power. Measuring the
voltage between the Yellow and Black
wires with a high (>10M Ohm) impedance
voltmeter, will give a reading of 1 V ± 2%.
Connecting a 10k Ohm resistance between
the Yellow and Black wires will result in the
reading falling to 0.5V and the light output
falling to half the factory set power.
Other outputs between 0 and the factory
set power can be achieved with a single
resistor Rx by using the formula:
where Po is the required power output
as Pfs is the factory set power
2B. CW+ TTL CONTROL (TTL CONTROL VERSION)
Connect Binder connector to back of laser.
- CW MODE
To operate laser in CW mode the red, black, yellow and blue leads should be connected to
the following:
1. Red lead: +5 Vdc ( + 10%)
2. Black lead: 0 Vdc
3. Yellow Lead: +V supply
4. Blue Lead: V supply if not using as enable switch
- TTL MODE
With this version the yellow wire can be utilised to modulate the laser with a digital TTL input
signal. Two variants are available either digital non-inverting (DNI) TTL or digital inverting
(DI) TTL. The DNI version produces maximum power with a positive TTL signal and zero
power with zero TTL level. Vise-versa for the DI version.
1. Red lead: + 5 Vdc ( + 10%)
2. Black lead: 0 Vdc
3. Yellow lead: input TTL signal
4. Blue Lead: V supply if not using as enable switch

3. FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
The laser will be tested and shipped to the nominal working distance requested at time of order.
Should you need to adjust the focus please follow the simple instructions below:
1. Turn the dial at the back of the laser (see diagram B)
2. Turn clockwise / anti clockwise until best focus is achieved.
3. Tighten Lock Screw to lock focus at designed point. (see diagram C)
4. OPERATING WITH 11/32 VDC ADAPTOR AND 110/240VAC
ADAPTOR
Please note: these adaptors only operate the laser in CW mode.
• +11 Vdc to +32 Vdc adaptor
1. Remove special power adaptor cable from box
2. Plug DC jack into power supply and screw binder connector into end of laser
3. To the flying leads on the power adaptor connect as follows:
Red: +11 Vdc to +32 Vdc
Black: 0 Vdc
Yellow: Chassis Earth
• 110/240 Vac PS-1 mains adaptor
1. Remove special power adaptor cable from box
2. Plug DC jack into PS-1 power supply and screw binder connector into end of laser
3. Connect IEC mains plug to PS-1 power adaptor
5. SAFETY AND CLASSIFICATION
These modules are intended for incorporation into customer equipment. They are classified in
accordance with IEC60825-1 Amendment 2/2001, which should be consulted prior to designing
or using any laser product. The following labels are supplied for attachment to the customer’s
equipment, but responsibility for compliance with the standard remains with the user.
6. CLEANING THE OPTICS
If the laser pattern becomes fuzzy or unclear, please check the following:
1. Check the laser is in focus (see section 3)
2. Verify the optical lens is clean, if the area has been contaminate please remove
dirt with dry air.
