Page 5: Basic Safety Instructions
Cube M Basic Safety Instructions Intended Use The Cube M is used to measure power in the beam path of lasers. Please observe and adhere to the specifications and limit values given in Chapter 15, „Technical Data“, on Page 29. Other forms of usage are improper. To ensure safe operation, the device must only be operated according to the terms stipulated by the manufacturer. - Page 6 Cube M • Please use beam guidance- or beam absorber elements which do not emit any hazardous particles as soon as they get in contact with laser radiation and which resist the beam sufficiently. • Please install safety switches and/or emergency safety mechanisms which enable an immediate closure of the laser shutter.

Page 9: System Description
Display On/Off Button Micro-USB-Socket Fig. 5.1: System description of the Cube M Measuring Principles The absorber of the calorimetric measurement system is irradiated by a laser for a short period of time. The temperature difference of the absorber between start and finish of the laser pulse is measured. -

Cube M Installation/Removal Prepare installation Turn off the laser source. Ensure that moving parts, e.g. robot arms, etc. are at a standstill and that they cannot be set in motion unintentionally. DANGER Serious eye or skin injury due to laser radiation... -
Page 11: Mounting Position
To align the Cube M under the laser, a alignment tool is included (see Chapter 7.2.1 on Page 12). -
Page 12: Align The Cube M With The Alignment Tool
The adjustment tool is made of plastic. Exposure with high power fo- cused laser radiation will destroy the alignment tool. X Remove the alignment tool before measurement. Marking Alignment Tool Fig. 7.2: Alignment of the Cube M using the alignment tool Revision 03/2018 EN... -
Page 13: Install The Cube M
The device must not be able to move. Connect the interlock connection cable. Remove the alignment tool from the protective window of the device. Fig. 7.3: Mounting threads in the Cube M housing Remove the Cube M Turn off the laser source. -
Page 14: Connections
Cube M Connections Laser Interlock Micro-USB-Socket Fig. 8.1: Connections External Safety Circuit (Laser Interlock) The external safety circuit protects the measuring device from damages caused by switching of the laser in case of an error. If the absorber is still too hot, pin 3 and 4 are connected. If the absorber is ready for operation, pin 1 and 4 are connected. -

1 Bluetooth stick, the range under free space conditions is approx. 250 m. After switching on the device, the Bluetooth connection is permanently active. The Cube M can be controlled entirely via the Bluetooth connection, and it is also pos- sible to transmit the measuring values. When the Bluetooth connection is activated, the USB interface is deactivated. -

Page 20: 11.2.2 Measurement With Pulsed Lasers
Cube M 11.2.2 Measurement with Pulsed Lasers When it comes to pulsed laser radiation a correct exposure time measurement up to a pulse frequency of 1 kHz and a duty cycle of 50 % is possible. In case of on/off times shorter than 500 μs a correct exposure time measurement is not possible. -
Page 21: Single Measurement
Cube M 11.3 Single Measurement Please read Chapter 11.1, „Safety Instructions“, on Page 18 first. Press the on/off button for at least 5 seconds. The start menu appears. After approx. 5 seconds, the device is ready for operation. Turn on the laser. For a high measurement accuracy, we recommend an energy input of 400 J per measurement. -
Page 22: Serial Measurement
Cube M 11.4 Serial Measurement Please read Chapter 11.1, „Safety Instructions“, on Page 18 first. Always start a measurement series with the smallest power and increase it gradually. Small amounts of energy should be measured with absorber temperatures that are close to the ambient temperature. -
Page 23: Measurement Storage
Measurement Storage The device automatically saves the previous 63 measurements. The memory can be read out using the PRIMES Cube app for mobile devices with Android™ or the optional LaserDiagnosticsSoftware LDS. You can also call up the last 14 measurements directly on the display. -
