1.2 Laser Classification
This series of lasers emit invisible laser radiation around a wavelength of 1080
nm. The average power of the products is ranged from 10% to 100% at a maximum
power about 1000W or 1500W, which classifies the series of lasers Class 4 laser
instrument. Direct or indirect exposure of this level of light intensity may cause very
serious damage to the eyes or skin. In view of this, appropriate and approved laser
safety protective glasses must be worn all the time while the laser is operating.
WARNING :
The laser safety protective glasses are selected according to the
wavelengths of the output laser. The users must ensure that the laser
safety protective glasses covered the entire range of wavelengths of
the laser emission.

3.2 The optical output head
A passive device named QBH was used as the optical output in the FSC series
laser, its dimensions are just as figures below.
Figure 3.3 the top view of the QBH (unit: mm)
Figure 3.4 the side view of the QBH (unit: mm)
The slot size of QBH is standard, matched well with most of processing heads
from the market. During installation, you need to ensure the QBH installed in place,
and then establish a reliable connection between the ring contactor with the
processing head’s contactor; otherwise the laser will give an alarm.
Before the QBH is installed, the end face of the QBH must be checked. Of
course, it must be cleaned when the end face is polluted (check under a microscope).

3.3 Connection and Requirements of the Cooling system
3.3.1 Connection of the cooling system
A water cooler with dual temperature output is required. Quick plug water pipes
with outer diameter of 12mm is used for connecting the laser and the water cooler,
and two segments of quick plug water pipes with outer diameter of 6mm are for
connection between QBH and the water cooler. The method is shown in Figure 3.5:
the outlet of the water cooler is connected with the “WATER IN”of the laser, and the
inlet of the water cooler is connected with the “WATER OUT”of the laser, and so
is the QBH.

(b)Please pour some ethanol into the water in order to avoid the waterway
stopped by the putrefaction, which is suggested about 10% of all.
(c) When the surrounding temperature is between -10℃~ 0℃, gain the ethanol
proportion to 30%, and replace once two months。
(d)When the surrounding temperature is below -10℃, the water cooler with a
heating system should never lay off all the time 。
(2)The other requirement of the cooling system
(a) When the cooling machine works the first time, please make sure the
waterway is unclogged and watertight, at the same time the water supply
(outlet) is connected to the “WATER IN”，and return water (Inlet) is
connected to the “WATER OUT”;
(b)If the laser is away from work for a long time, please empty the water in it.
CAUTION:
Set temperature for the cooling machine according to the
surrounding temperature. Unsuitable temperature will lead bad
results—too high temperature can lead the laser exceptional, even
damaged, and the low temperature may cause badly condensation
trouble both on the laser device and the QBH.
CAUTION:
Make sure the cooling system works before the laser device does,
and the temperature is required being 25 ℃ , when you decide to turn
on the laser device.
