CompactPowerMonitor CPM Connect cooling circuit DANGER Fire hazard; Damage/Destruction of the device due to overheating If there is no water cooling or a water flow rate which is insufficient, there is a danger of overheating, which can damage the device or set it on fire. X Operate the device with a connected water cooling only and a sufficient water flow rate (see chapter 8.5 on page 22).
CompactPowerMonitor CPM NOTICE Damage/Destruction of the device due to overpressure X The maximum permissible water inlet pressure must not exceed 4 bar. Humidity • The device must not be operated in a condensing atmosphere. The humidity has to be considered in order to prevent condensates within and outside the device.
CompactPowerMonitor CPM Temperature fluctuations of the inflowing cooling water It is important that the temperature of the inflowing water remains constant. The fluctuation of temperature should not exceed 0.5 ° C per minute or 0.05 ° C per 5 seconds. Flow rate The safety interlock is unblocked at: Device type...
CompactPowerMonitor CPM Connect hoses The flow direction (Water In/Water Out) indicated on the device has to be strictly observed. The plug connec- tors are intended for hoses with an outer diameter of 12 mm. The plug connectors are sealed with sealing plugs in order to ensure that no residual water can escape. Please remove the the sealing plugs and keep for future transportations or shipping.
The device is supplied with power by means of the 9 pin D-Sub socket. Using an optional PRIMES converter or a PRIMES power supply with integrated converter, the socket can also be used to connect a PC to enable communication (see chapter 9.5 on page 28).
CompactPowerMonitor CPM Connect the safety interlock The device can be damaged when the water flow rate is too low, the inlet temperature T too high, or the temperature difference T too great. The safety interlock protects the device from damages by turning off the laser in this case.

CompactPowerMonitor CPM Analog output The CompactPowerMonitor CPM has an analog voltage output (analog output) that emits a voltage value analogous to the measured laser power. The analog signal is effected via the 4-pin device socket M8 (see Fig. 5.1 on page 12). The output voltage amounts to a maximum of 10 V. The output voltage of 10 V is scaled to the maximum output value of the connected device (see Tab.
