Overview of the YLR-Series Fiber Lasers
Introduction
The IPG Photonics YLR-Series fiber lasers are developed to meet industrial market
demands of efficient reliable maintenance-free high power lasers. These lasers are a
diode-pumped Ytterbium fiber laser with output powers ranging from 1W up to 1.5
kW operating at the wavelength region of 1060 - 1100 nm.
The YLR-Series fiber lasers can be air or water-cooled. The wall plug efficiency for
a fiber laser is typically exceeds 30 percent. All YLR-Series fiber lasers are Class 4
laser products and are designed and tested with important safety features. Follow this
guide and apply laser safety practices for a safe and reliable device.
Laser light exhibits unique characteristics that pose safety hazards that are not
normally associated with other light sources. Therefore, all operators and other
people near the laser must be aware of these special hazards.
Audience
The audience for this guide are system integrators and technicians responsible for
installing and operating the IPG YLR-Series fiber lasers in industrial and non-
industrial installations.

Safety Information and Conventions
Safety Information and Conventions
To ensure the safe operation and optimal performance of the product, follow all
warnings in this guide. Safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, maintenance, and service.
Operators must adhere to these recommendations and to apply sound laser safety
practices at all times. Never open the chassis. There are no user serviceable parts,
equipment or assemblies associated with this product. All internal service and
maintenance should only be performed by qualified IPG personnel.
Table 1-1 lists safety conventions and their meanings. These conventions are used
throughout this guide.
Table 1-1. Safety Symbols
Symbol Description
Text marked with an Electrical Warning symbol or Laser Warning
symbol refers to a potential personal hazard. It requires a procedure that, if
not correctly followed, can result in bodily harm to you or others.
Do not proceed beyond the Electrical Warning or Laser Warning symbols
until you completely understand and meet the required conditions.
Text marked with a Caution symbol refers to a potential product hazard. It
requires a procedure that, if not correctly followed, can result in damage or
destruction to the product or components.
Do not proceed beyond the Caution symbol until you completely understand
and meet the required conditions.
No symbol
Text marked with Important refers to pertinent information regarding the
operation of the product. Ensure you do not overlook this information.

Overview of the YLR-Series Fiber Lasers
Safety Features and Compliance to Government Requirements
Functional Safety:
The following safety functions are implemented to fulfill the requirements of
EN ISO 13849-1:2008 + A1:2009 Cat.3 / PL d and Category 3 (Cat. 3). The
safety functions are implemented exclusively in hardware:
• Stop initiated by a safeguard: The safety electronics of the laser
monitors the feed fiber cable (optical fiber interlock). If the laser is
emitting and the feed fiber is disconnected from a mating device or
broken, the safety-related outputs become de-energized.
• Stop initiated by a safeguard: The safety electronics of the laser
monitors E-Stop input. If the laser is emitting and the E-Stop is
activated, the safety-related outputs become de-energized.
• Safe start/restart button: The safety electronics of the laser monitors
safety-related outputs. A fault in the safety-related outputs is detected
before the next demand upon the safety-related output.
• Discharge of stored energy: The safety electronics of the laser monitors
safety-related inputs. If the laser is emitting and a stop is initiated by a
safeguard, the stored energy for the laser is discharged.
• Prevention of unexpected startup: The safety electronics of the laser
monitors safety-related inputs. Start of restart cannot occur after
activation of a safeguard until safeguard is re-established and separate
deliberate action occurs.
Class A Digital Device
This equipment is tested and complies with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with this guide, can cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the users are required to correct the
interference at their own expense.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Compliance of the YLR-Series lasers with the EMC requirements is certified by the
CE mark if identified by the CE label (Figure 1-1 on page 1-7).

1-5
Overview of the YLR-Series Fiber Lasers
Safety Features and Compliance to Government Requirements
The European requirements for Electromagnetic Compliance are specified in the
“EMC Directive.” Conformance to the “EMC Directive” is achieved through
compliance with the harmonized standards EN55011 for emission and EN 61326-
1:2006 for immunity. The laser meets the emission requirements for Class A, group
1 as specified in EN55011.
Laser Classification
The governmental standards and requirements specify that lasers must be classified
according to their output power or energy and the laser wavelength. All YLR-Series
lasers are classified as Class 4 laser products under 21 CFR, subchapter J, part II,
1040.10(d).
According to the European Community standards, this device is classified as Class
4 based on EN 60825-1, clause 9 This product emits invisible laser radiation at or
around a wavelength of 1070 nm, and the total light power radiated from the optical
output is greater than 20 to 1500 W (depending on model) per optical output port.
Direct or indirect exposure of this level of light intensity can cause damage to the
eye or skin. Despite the radiation being invisible, the beam can cause irreversible
damage to the retina and cornea.Appropriate and approved laser safety eyewear must
be worn at all times while the laser is operational.
WARNING:You must use appropriatelasersafetyeyewearwhen operating the
device. The selection of appropriate laser safety eyewear requires that the end
user accurately identify the range of wavelengths emitted from this product. If
the device is a tunable laser or Raman product, it emits light over a range of
wavelengths.
Youmustensurethatthelasersafetyeyewearusedprotectsagainstlightemitted
by the device over its entire range of wavelengths. Review the safety labeling on
the product (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-7) and verify that the personal protective
equipment (for example, enclosures, viewing windows or viewports, garments,
and eyewear) being used is adequate for the output power and wavelength
ranges listed on the product.
Suppliers include LaserVision USA, Kentek Corporation and Rockwell Laser
Industries offer this laser safety material and equipment. There are other laser
personal protective equipment providers. IPG provides the names of these
providers solely as a convenience and does not endorse or recommend any of

Whether the laser is used in a new installation or to retrofit an existing device,
the end user is solely responsible for determining the suitability of all personal
protective equipment.
CAUTION:Donotinstallorterminate fibersorcollimators whenlaserisactive.
WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein, can result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION: Use of the device in a manner other than that described herein can
impair the protection provided by the device.
Safety Label Locations
The YLR Series Laser has the required laser safety labels located on the outside of
the chassis in various locations. These include warning labels indicating removable
or displaceable of the protective housings, apertures through which laser radiation is
emitted and labels of certification and identification.
Figure 1-1 shows the required laser safety labels and the locations for the Water-
Cooled YLR-Series laser. Figure 1-2 on page 1-7 shows the required laser safety
labels and the locations for the Air-Cooled YLR-Series laser.
These include warning labels indicating removable or displaceable protective
housings, apertures through which laser radiation is emitted and labels of certification
and identification.
