Diode Pointer Unpacking and Installation Preparation:

1.
Remove the Diode Pointer from it's packaging and set aside. Take note of the box contents.
The pointer has both near and far field adjustments set at the factory. If alignment is still required after
installation, see the following sections for guidance. If your SYNRAD® laser is shipped with a Diode Pointer
installed, it is also factory pre-aligned and ready for operation.
2.
Upon arrival, inspect all shipping containers for signs of damage. If you discover shipping damage,
document the damage (photographically if possible), then immediately notify the shipping
carrier (responsible party for any transportation damage) and SYNRAD.
3.
Remove the two dust covers. One of the covers is on the front of the Diode Pointer face, the other is on
the back.

  • Page 1 (photographically if possible), then immediately notify the shipping carrier (responsible party for any transportation damage) and SYNRAD. Remove the two dust covers. One of the covers is on the front of the Diode Pointer face, the other is on the back.
  • Page 2 Mounting: Insert the four screws into the front of the laser a few turns so that the threads are engaged. This allows adequate clearance between the screw head and the laser’s front plate to hang the diode pointer. ti-Series shown 4.1 Hanging the Diode Pointer onto the laser faceplate &...
  • Page 3 Novanta company Electrical: If your laser provides a power connection for the Diode Pointer, install the supplied power cable by removing the faceplate of the laser (and the hex nut on the cable), connect the cable by the 5 VDC jack, reinstall the hex nut on the outside of the faceplate affixing the cable.
  • Page 4 Novanta company Electrical (Continued): If your laser does not provide a power connection for the Diode Pointer, use the plug from the supplied wall-plug transformer into the 5 VDC jack on the side of the pointer. Press the On/Off switch. The red LED below the switch illuminates to indicate the pointer is on and laser diode emission should be visible.
  • Page 5 Novanta company Adjustment: Assure the diode pointer dust cover is removed. Take safety precautions (protective eye wear), and always assure your laser and pointer are ‘OFF‘ prior to adjusting anything in your work area. Tape a thermal card to the firebrick (beam block) and place it approximately 30cm in front of the laser & pointer.

Using safety precautions, reposition the thermal card to a new location on the brick, then move the brick to the far field (3-10 m). Fire the CO laser again at low power (approximately 10-20 watts) until you get a good burn image on the thermal card and observe the diode pointers coincidence with the beam.
  • Page 7 Novanta company Coarse Adjustment: 14. Assure the laser is off! Loosen the four diode pointer mounting hex head screws on the face of the laser enough to move the pointer in the direction necessary to center the beam in the CO burn.
