Page 10: About This Operating Manual
When the BeamMonitor BM+ is being operated, the irradiation must be fully absorbed be- hind the measurement zone. Fire bricks or other partly-absorbing surfaces are not suitable. X Use an adequate absorber. Dependent on the application, PRIMES offers suitable absorbers, such as the PowerMonitor PM 48/100. -
Page 11: Introduction
BeamMonitor BM+ Introduction System description The BeamMonitor BM+ is an opto-mechanical scanning measurement system for analyzing continuous irra- diation. The device measures the power density distribution of the raw beam. The LaserDiagnosticsSoftware LDS uses this to calculate the beam position, beam dimensions, beam symmetry, and power density distri- bution. -

Page 15: Align The Beammonitor Bm
BeamMonitor BM+ Align the BeamMonitor BM+ For the BeamMonitor BM+, the beam must enter vertically to the x-y-plane. The laser beam must hit the inlet aperture in the middle. DANGER Serious eye or skin injury due to laser radiation If the ratio of the laser beam diameter to the aperture diameter is too large, increased scat- tered or directed reflection of the laser beam (laser class 4) will occur during measuring operation. -

Page 37: Assemble The Detector
BeamMonitor BM+ 17.3.3 Assemble the detector Only use isolating plastic screws to fasten the detector to prevent any electric noise signals from being interspersed. Do not forget the foam rubber spacer during installation, otherwise the rota- tional disc could be mechanically blocked by the screws. The foam rubber spacer also ensures mechanical decoupling of the detector. - Page 38 BeamMonitor BM+ Revision 02/2019 EN...
