Unpacking:
Attention: For complete details, refer to the Flyer 3D WMP7 Quick Start Guide located on
our website. See the system inventory and mounting (sections) in your laser and
Flyer 3D Marking Head Operator’s Manuals.
Read all Danger, Warning, Caution terms, symbols, and instructions located in the (Laser Safety
Hazard information) sections in the Operation Manuals mentioned above.

Important
Note:
Caution! Unpacking the laser incorrectly can lead to damage that can void your
warranty. Keep All specially designed Foam and Packaging, you will need to re-use
it when moving your laser. Refer to this guide and the Technical Reference chapters in
the laser’s Operation Manual when re-packaging for shipping and/or relocation.
Mounting feet and/or rails are optional, for complete details, refer to the laser’s Operator’s Manual and
drawings on our website: www.synrad.com.
Caution! When re-packing the laser for relocation or shipment, use compressed shop air (less than
29 PSI) to blow out excess water from the cooling systems. Wear safety goggles! Nothing can be on
the sides of the laser at any time as damage will occur. The skin on the sides of the laser is fragile! All
box components must be stowed under the laser.
The wire harness &/or ports can be damaged in shipping if not re-packaged as shown above.

Readying your Laser for use:
Note: Remove the laser aperture self-adhesive lm before mounting your laser into nal posi-
tion.
1. Failure to remove the aperture seal can damage your system!
(Fan-Cooled ti60 Shown)
AVOID EXPOSURE
Invisible laser radiation
is emitted from
this aperture.
Failure
to remove
seal can
damage the
laser.
Mounting feet and/or rails are optional. See the laser’s Operator’s Manual and drawings on
our website: www.synrad.com.
Consult the factory for further mounting angle guidance outside >75% from the horizontal. When mounting
the laser to a baseplate, use only one metric or SAE fastener per mounting tab on the baseplate. Do not use
any type of jackscrew arrangement as this will twist the baseplate and may distort the tube.
Important
Note:
SYNRAD does not recommend mounting lasers in a vertical, (head and/or tail down)
position. Please contact the factory for limitations as a vertical orientation increases the risk
of damage to the lasers optics.

3. Locate the Mounting Hardware Kit ( ) Marking Head Safety tube, clamp, and Allen
screws, and the Laser mounting feet.
4. When attaching the Laser to the rail, make sure the notch is as shown in the gure above before going
on to the next step.
Remove the rail from the packaging. Assure
the notch is facing down and to the left. Very
important! Otherwise, re-work required
because the head will be mounted incorrectly.
Mounting the Laser to the Rail:
Attention: For further details, please refer to the Getting Started (System Inventory and Mount-
ing) Sections in the Pulstar p100/150 Laser and Flyer 3D Marking Head Operator’s
Manual.
Place the Laser and the Marking
Head on a suitable cart for re-location.

Mounting the Marking Head to the Rail Continued:
5. Before mounting the Marking Head to the rail, assure the aperture seal is removed, slide the tube
onto the Marking Head rst, then put the clamp onto the tube as shown in the gure above (don’t
tighten the clamp’s Allen screws axing the tube to the laser until after the laser is mounted to
the rail).

ed to the rail.
2. Slide the tube

Head.
4. Position the
Marking Head on the
rail as shown below.
Finger tighten the clamp to the Laser rst (see #5 above), then follow with an Allen Wrench as seen in the
gure above for all four Allen screws after the laser is rmly mounted to the rail with all four Allen screws.
5. Figer tighten the

Attention: For further details, please see the specications in the Pulstar
p100/150 Operator’s Manual. Also see the Flyer 3D Operators Manual.
Cooling:
Important
Note:
Use distilled water as the coolant. If glycol is necessary, add no more than
10% by volume.
7. Set coolant temperature between 18–22 °C. If condensation occurs, increase coolant temperature a few
degrees at a time, up to a maximum of 28 °C.
Bottom port is for water out from Laser to chiller. See the top port for water in from the chiller.

Control Connecons:
The Quick Start Plug bypasses the laser’s safety interlock function
potentially exposing personnel to hazardous invisible infrared laser
radiation.
Warning:
Marking Head connections and nal control and electrical conguration.
12. Connect the Marking Head’s DC power, Ethernet (RJ-45) and BNC (Laser Control) communications
interface. (see the gure below). The ferrite bead, located at the end of the cable, should be connect-
ed to the FLyer 3D.
13. After assembly and mounting are complete, see the Mounting Head’s QSG for WinMark software setup.
If using a diode pointer and/or this is a new laser and you need to verify performance, see the Diode
Pointer Quick Start Guide located on our website.
