3.3 Power switch
Use the power switch to turn the laser system on and off.
When the laser system is turned on, the power switch glows.
3.4 Key switch
Use the key switch to activate or deactivate the laser system. Only the lasers will be switched on and
off in this process. All other components, which are integrated in the laser system, will still work.
3.5 Emergency Off
3.5.1 Emergency in
Connect the emergency-off switch to the 3 pole socket (male).
Pin Assignment:
Pin No. Name Note
Pin 1 VCC out 4.3 V output voltage
Pin 4 GND GND
Pin 3 Return connected voltage (return line)
3.5.2 Emergency through
Connect the next laser system at this 3 pole socket (female). You only need one
emergency-off switch to switch off several laser systems at the same time.
Pin Assignment:
Pin No. Name Note
Pin 1 VCC out 4.3 V output voltage
Pin 4 GND GND
Pin 3 Return connected voltage (reduction)

3.6 ILDA In / Through
This socket is an ILDA compatible D-sub socket. Therefore, any ILDA-compatible laser software can be
used for this laser system.
Connect your controller with the ILDA In by an ILDA-cable.
If you want to use the same signal on another laser system, use the ILDA Through socket for that.
To get the best results of signal transmission, only shielded and twisted-pair cables should be used.
3.7 Emission LED
Laser emission LED
This LED is lighting up yellow if all safety checks are in good conditions. It displays that the laser
output is possible now.
If this LED is not lighting up, one of the interlocks has deactivated the laser modules.
Please check if all interlocks are enabled correctly.
4. Maintenance
Dust, fog fluid, etc. cause deposits on mirrors, which might evoke a substantial decrease in laser
power.
Therefore a professional and periodic cleaning is essential!
LPS-Lasersysteme recommends a regular service, which should be implemented at least
once a year.
Benefits:
-A complete professional check of the system by an expert can prevent minimum technical
errors and / or attrition with large consequences.
-Due to inadequate cleaning of the fan and the heatsink, overheating and electronic defects
may occur.
-By its completely closed optical area, a pollution is hardly possible, but still not excluded.
Therefore, it should be checked during the regular cleaning of the electronics sector,
whether and how dirty the optical area is.
-For cleaning the electronic area, please remove the front and the back plate of the laser
system and remove all dust particles.
-For cleaning the optical and the laser area, please remove the top and the front of the laser
system.
-For cleaning, only manufacturer's recommended products should be used, because wrong
cleaning supplies can damage the components and warranty voids.

5. Beam Adjustment
For the adjustment of the single colours there is a mechanic on the front of your laser system:
Adjusting the colours:
1. Move the green beam by turning the screws, until it is aligned on the red beam at the projection
zone.
Hint: Dim the blue laser module to zero for that.
2. Move the blue beam by turning the brass-screws, until it is aligned on the red beam at the
projection zone.
Hint: Dim the green laser module to zero while you are moving the blue beam.
Now your colours should be aligned on each other.
Main Beam:
The position of the Main Beam (red) is only to be changed, if the beam is not aligned on the scanner unit
correctly!
