Hazard Information
Hazard information includes terms, symbols, and instructions used either 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. Please familiarize
yourself with their definitions and significance.
Danger Imminent hazards which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
Warning Potential hazards which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
Caution Potential hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
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.
CO2 laser radiation can be reflected from metallic objects even though the surface is
darkened. Direct or diffuse laser radiation can inflict severe corneal injuries leading to
permanent eye damage or blindness. All personnel must wear eye protection suitable for
10.6µm CO2 radiation when in the same area as an exposed laser beam. Eyewear protects
against scattered energy but is not intended to protect against direct viewing of the beam.
Never look directly into the laser output aperture or view scattered laser reflections from
metallic surfaces even when wearing goggles. Instant blindness can occur.
This laser presents a particular danger due to its very high-power density. The optical
intensity at the output window is VERY high (>8500W/cm2).
Enclose the beam path whenever possible. Exposure to direct or diffuse CO2 laser
radiation can seriously burn human or animal tissue, which may cause permanent damage
This product is not intended for use in explosive, or potentially explosive, atmospheres.

General Hazards
Warning –Serious Personal Injury
U.S. customers should refer to and follow the laser safety precaution described in
the American Nation Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136.1-2014 document, Safe Use of
Lasers. Procedures listed in this Standard include the appointment of a Laser
Safety Officer (LSO), Operation of the product in an area of limited access by
trained personnel, servicing of equipment only by trained and authorized
personnel, and posting of signs warning of the potential hazards.
European customers should appoint a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) who should refer
to and follow the laser safety precautions described in EN60825.1-2014 Safety of
Laser Products.
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. Review the following reference for further information:
ANSI Z136.1-2014, Safe Use of Lasers
Warning –Serious Personal Injury
The use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Other Hazards
The following hazards are typical for this product family when incorporated for intended use: (A)
risk of injury when lifting or moving the unit; (B) risk of exposure to hazardous laser energy
through unauthorized removal of access panels, doors, or protective barriers; (C) risk of
exposure to hazardous laser energy and injury due to failure of personnel to use proper eye
protection and/or failure to adhere to applicable laser safety procedures; (D) risk of exposure to
hazardous or lethal voltages through unauthorized removal of covers, doors, or access panels;
(E) risk of exposure and/or interference from radio-frequency (RF) electro-magnetic energy
through unauthorized removal of covers, doors, or access panels; (F) generation of hazardous
air contaminants that may be noxious, toxic, or even fatal.

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 Z136.1-2014 at all times
when actively lasing.
Always wear approved Laser Safety glasses with a minimum OD (Optical Density) 4.494 for a
wavelength of 10.6µm.
A CO2laser is capable of igniting most materials under the proper conditions. Never operate the
laser in the presence of flammable or explosive materials, gases, liquids, or vapors.
**NOTICE**
The output aperture comes covered by a clearly marked dust guard that
must be removed before use. Firing the laser through the cover WILL
cause permanent destruction of the laser.

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.
CDRH
This is an OEM laser component that has been designed for integration into a functioning laser
system. As a stand-alone device, it cannot be turned on and therefore does not incorporate all
of the safety features required by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
Provisions for the incorporation of these safety features are available, and it is expected that the
user will apply them and fully comply with all CDRH requirements.
Available Safety Features
The following safety features are available as electronic signals on the laser’s HD-15 control connector:
Interlock
Upon contact closure, allows the system to operate.
An open connection will disallow the laser from firing.
Key switch
Upon contact closure, allows the laser to fire after
imposing a 5-second delay. (Key switch function is
program version dependent.)
Power up in Fault
Requires the key switch to be cycled. (Program
version dependent.)
Lase signal
Output signal indicating the laser is firing.
Fault signal
Output signal indicating the malfunction of an internal
component or the electronics.
Indicator lights
DC Power, Temp Warning, Interlock, Fault, Ready,
Lase

System Overview
This Iradion laser is a waveguide laser with a “slab” unstable optical resonator. The beam is
corrected by a patented internal correction scheme to generate a nearly round beam.
The Iradion D200 CO2laser is rated at 200W and the D250 is rated at 250W. These lasers
include an integrated RFPA and separate power supply/air supply in 2 packages. Connectors
in the rear provide the interface to control signals, power, water, air and returns diagnostic
signals and faults signals. Connector pins and associated electronics are protected against
static ESD damage. DC power and filtered air is supplied from a separate unit designed to
maintain the proper voltage, current and airflow to avoid system faults.
Because this laser is small with a low thermal mass, it becomes overheated internally in only
60 seconds without cooling. Although it does have a thermal protect function, these lasers
depend on the flow of water to stay cool. For that reason, the D200/D250 monitors the actual
flow rate of water and will fault below or above specified limits. (See section on cooling.)
The D200/D250 also includes airflow monitoring and will fault if the airflow is too high or low.
Because the exact regulation of house air can be difficult, the D200/D250 comes with a
specially configured air pump and filters. Internal sensor settings ensure that the laser will
operate without faults when fed from this pump. This laser will not operate without an air
source. (See section on air flow.)
The D200/D250 also includes an RS232 interface to allow monitoring of the settings and flows.
Iradion can provide a special Windows™based application that reports parameters including
water and air flow as well as the voltage, temperature, fault codes, serial number and other
parameters.
This Iradion laser is class IV laser product that can burn skin, start fires and generate smoke.
Proper smoke evacuation may be required. A proper target or backstop must be provided.
This model can exceed 300 Watts of power under normal operation.
