  • Page 17 To prevent possible distortion of the tube, you must fasten the v30 base plate di- rectly to your mounting surface. Caution SYNRAD does not recommend mounting lasers in a vertical “head- down” or “tail-down” orientation. If you must mount your laser in possible this manner, please contact the factory for limitations as a vertical orientation increases the risk of damage to the laser’s output optic.
  • Page 18 Because Firestar’s cooling tubing is specified in inch sizes, do not use metric tubing fittings unless you have installed the appropriate inch-to-metric tubing adaptors. The use of metric fittings on inch size tubing will lead to coolant leaks or may allow the pressurized tubing to blow-off the fitting. SYNRAD OEM v30 Operator’s Manual Version 2...
  • Page 19 Avoid glycol-based additives because they reduce the coolant’s heat capacity and high concentrations may affect power stability. For SYNRAD lasers, the minimum coolant setpoint is 18 °C (64 °F) so glycol is not necessary unless the chiller is subjected to freezing temperatures. If tap water is used, chloride levels should not exceed a concentration of 25 parts per million (PPM).

Figure 1-3 OEM v30 cooling connections Cut and connect a length of 1/2-inch O.D.
  • Page 22 Air-cooled v30 (SAG) lasers are shipped without cooling fans so customers must provide some type of air cooling to prevent overheating. SYNRAD recommends using two cooling fans rated for at least 4.0 m min (140 CFM) at a static air pressure of 13.2 mm H O (0.52 in H...
  • Page 23 getting started Connecting Figure 1-5 Recommended fan shroud design – rear cooling Guidelines for rear cooling ■ Design the cooling shroud so that it encloses the full length of both the laser and the cool- ing fan. ■ Fit the shroud snugly against the laser’s heatsink fins so air is ducted between the fins and not around them.
  • Page 24 (24 A peak for a minimum of 0.5 ms) while fan-cooled (SFG) models require 30 VDC at 16 A (24 A peak for a minimum of 0.5 ms). SYNRAD recommends our PS-2, a 30 V, 750 W DC power supply (shown in Figure 1-6).
  • Page 25 getting started Connecting Important Note: The OEM v30 control board does not incorporate a built-in tickle generator; there- fore, an externally-generated 5 kHz, 1 µs tickle pulse must be applied between PWM Command signals to achieve optimum laser performance. See Controlling laser power in the Technical Reference chapter for tickle signal descriptions.
  • Page 26 You may need to refer to Interface connections, in the Technical Refer- ence chapter, for Interface A and Interface B connection details. To connect a UC-2000 Controller (available separately from SYNRAD), perform the following steps: Interface A (DB-9) connector Remove DC power from the laser.
  • Page 27 getting started Connecting Connect your system’s +5V enable input to Pin 7, Laser Enable, on the RJ45 plug. Connect your RJ45 plug to the Interface B (RJ45) connector on the rear of the laser.
