1. Attach coolant lines to the back of the
laser head and back of the power sup-
ply: blue to blue and red to red.
2. Attach the double-connector side of the
electrical cable to the laser head.

fully seated. Note: You should hear an
audible “click”.

START UP
Your laser is pre-configured to operate at full en-
ergy and Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF).
The only routine maintenance required on the UL-
TRA system is deionization cartridge and flash-
lamp replacement. Cycle the coolant at least 30
minutes every 2 weeks and replace the flashlamp
as required. See the User's Manual for details.
If you need to ship the laser for any reason, see
Chapter 3 of the User's Manual for details on
draining the system for transport to prevent freez-
ing.
