Description of Appropriate Use
This device is designed for laser cutting and engraving in an office, laboratory, workshop or light-duty
manufacturing environment. Materials to be processed must fit completely inside the system for proper
operation.
CAUTION: This device is not designed, tested, intended or authorized for use in any medical applications,
surgical applications, medical device manufacturing or any similar procedure or process requiring approval,
testing or certification by the United States Food and Drug Administration or other similar governmental
entities.
General Safety
Use of the equipment in a manner other than described in this manual or failure to follow the operational
requirements and safety guidelines listed in this manual can result in injury to yourself and others and may
cause damage to the equipment and your facility.
EXPOSURE TO THE LASER BEAM MAY CAUSE PHYSICAL BURNS AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE
EYE DAMAGE. Proper use and care of this system are essential to safe operation. Use of
controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
NEVER OPERATE THE LASER SYSTEM WITHOUT CONSTANT SUPERVISION OF THE CUTTING
AND ENGRAVING PROCESS. Exposure to the laser beam may cause ignition of combustible
materials which can lead to a fire. A properly maintained fire extinguisher should be kept on
hand at all times.
NEVER LEAVE MATERIALS IN THE LASER SYSTEM AFTER LASER PROCESSING HAS FINISHED.
Always remove all material including scrap material from the machine after use. Scrap
material left in the laser system including materials that collect in the removable cutting
table can be a fire hazard. It is also recommended you allow scrap materials to cool prior to
leaving the work area. A properly maintained fire extinguisher should be kept on hand at all
times.
A PROPERLY CONFIGURED, INSTALLED, MAINTAINED AND OPERATIONAL PARTICULATE
AND FUME EXHAUST SYSTEM IS MANDATORY WHEN OPERATING THE LASER SYSTEM.

CO2Laser Safety
ULS Laser systems are designed to support a sealed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser cartridge that produces intense
invisible laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 microns in the infrared spectrum. For your protection, the laser
is contained within a Class 1* enclosure designed to completely contain the CO2laser beam. CAUTION: Use of
controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure
to hazardous levels of invisible laser radiation.
•Laminated safety glass is employed in the viewing window to block 10.6-micron laser radiation from CO2
lasers. This viewing window will block transmission of CO2laser radiation allowing safe observation of
laser processing. Do not operate the laser system if the view port is damaged, with any of the doors
removed or if any of the safety interlocks are defeated.
•The intense light that appears during the engraving or cutting process is the product of material
combustion or vaporization. DO NOT STARE AT THIS INTENSE LIGHT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME OR
VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR MICROSCOPES.
•This device contains a visible Red Diode Pointer (Class 2) to aid in positioning material to be cut or
engraved. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE RED LASER BEAM OR USE A REFLECTIVE SURFACE TO
REDIRECT OR VIEW THE RED LASER BEAM. NEVER ATTEMPT TO VIEW THE RED LASER BEAM USING
OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR MICROSCOPES.
•The user door(s) are safety interlocked which will prevent the CO2laser beam from firing when the user
door(s) are opened. The Red Diode Pointer is NOT safety interlocked and can be automatically activated
with the door(s) either open or closed.

Chapter 3 - Installation
17
This section provides step-by-step instructions for site preparation, computer/software setup and laser system
assembly and connection. Follow the instructions in the order shown.
1. Site Preparation
2. Operating System Requirements and Software Installation
3. Assembling and Connecting Your Laser System
Note: Make sure to complete step 2 (software installation) prior to plugging the laser system into a USB port
on your PC.
CAUTION: Damage to the laser system due to inadequate or improper installation or operation is not covered
under the Universal Laser Systems (ULS) Warranty. See the ULS Warranty for additional information. A ULS
Warranty document is supplied with your laser system. Should you require a copy of the Warranty, please
Please refer to the Safety section before operating your laser system.
Step 1: Site Preparation
Operating Environment (User Supplied)
1. The laser system must be installed in an office, laboratory, workshop or light-duty manufacturing
environment.
2. Dusty or dirty environments can damage the laser system. Keep the laser system isolated from any
processes that produce airborne particles such as sandblasting, sanding, machining, etc. Also, keep
the laser system isolated from any equipment requiring mists of oil or water for lubrication.
Airborne dust and liquids can coat and damage optics and motion system components.
3. Avoid small, enclosed, non-ventilated areas. Some materials, after laser engraving or cutting,
continue emitting fumes for several minutes after processing. Having these materials present in a
confined, unventilated room can create a health hazard.
4. For best results, since the laser cartridges are air-cooled, we recommend operating the laser system
between the ambient temperatures of 70 °F (21 °C) and 78 °F (25 °C).
5. Avoid storing the laser system outside the temperatures of 50 °F (10 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C) as
excessively cold or hot temperatures can damage the laser cartridge or reduce its lifetime.
6. Ambient humidity levels must be non-condensing to protect optics.
7. The laser system should be at least 1 foot (300 mm) away from any wall or obstruction to allow for
access and proper ventilation.
Electrical Power Source (User Supplied)
1. For your system’s electrical requirements, please refer to the “INPUT POWER” label near the power
inlet.
2. CAUTION: Never remove the ground lead to the electrical cord and plug the laser system into a non-
grounded outlet. A laser system that is not properly grounded is hazardous and has the potential to
cause severe or fatal electrical shock. Without proper grounding, the laser system may exhibit
sporadic or unpredictable behavior. Always plug the system into a properly grounded (earthed)
outlet.
18
3. Noisy or unstable electricity and voltage spikes may cause interference and possible damage to the
electronics of the laser system. If electrical power fluctuations, brownouts or constant power
outages are a problem in your area, please contact your local Electrician to supply a power isolation
and regulation module. Electrically noisy equipment, such as equipment with large motors, can also
cause interference if plugged into the same outlet. It may be necessary to attach the laser system to
a dedicated electrical line to resolve the problem.
4. The laser system is designed as a Class I, Group A, pluggable device. It is also designed for
connection to IT Power systems which provide the most flexibility to the user.
Exhaust System (User Supplied)
1. We recommend you consult with a licensed contractor to meet local safety and building code
requirements.
2. The exhaust system must be capable of supplying a minimum of:
a. VLS3.75 and VLS4.75 - 250 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow while under a load of 6 inches
of static pressure (425m3/hr. at 1.5kPa)
b. VLS6.75 - 500 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow while under a load of 6 inches of static
pressure (850m3/hr. at 1.5kPa)
3. Do not install forward incline, backward incline, in-line or ventilator fans because these types of air
handlers are inadequate and inappropriate for this type of installation. A high-pressure blower must
be used to meet minimum airflow requirements.
4. For personal safety and noise control, we recommend that the exhaust blower be mounted outside
the building.
5. Rigid tubing should be used for the majority of the connection between the blower and the laser
system. The tubing should be smooth-walled and have as few 90-degree bends as possible.
6. Install an exhaust gate to adjust airflow and to close off the exhaust when the laser is not in use.
Place this gate near the laser system within 5 to 10 feet (1.50 to 3.00 meters).
7. Use a short piece of industrial-grade, wire-reinforced rubber tubing to connect each laser system
exhaust port to an exhaust gate and secure with a hose clamp. This will isolate exhaust blower
vibrations from your laser system.
8. Wire the exhaust blower electrically to a wall switch in the same room for easy ON/OFF control.
Note: The following diagram shows a typical exhaust system layout. Use this as a guideline for proper
exhaust system installation. Although this diagram serves as an example, we recommend you consult with a
licensed contractor to meet local safety, environmental and building code requirements and to also
calculate the correct size blower required for your particular installation. Length of exhaust pipe, exhaust
pipe diameter, number of 90-degree angles and other restrictions must be calculated when determining the
correct exhaust blower unit. Installing an undersized or oversized blower is not only unsafe but can also lead
to excessive wear and tear to the laser system and premature failure.
19
1. Exhaust blower mounted outside (user supplied)
2. Weatherproof shield (user supplied)

Step 2: Computer Requirements and Software Installation
Your computer is a critical component in the operation of your laser system. In fact, you cannot operate the
laser system if your computer is not connected, powered on, running Windows and running the Universal
Control Panel (UCP) software.
You can only run one laser system per computer. You will need to purchase a separate computer for each laser
system you own. You must operate the laser system using the computer that is directly attached to it via the
provided 6 ft (2 meters) USB cable. USB cables longer than 6 feet (2 meters) may cause the laser system to
malfunction.
