    CISPR:11 and EN 61000-6-4 define radiated and conducted RF emission limits while the generic Standard EN 61000- 6-2 defines immunity requirements. SYNRAD’s Firestar OEM vi30 lasers have been tested and found to comply by demonstrating performance characteristics that have met or exceeded the requirements of EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.

    Compliance requirements (cont.) When integrating SYNRAD’s OEM vi30 lasers, the Buyer and/or integrator of the end system is responsible for meeting all applicable Standards to obtain the CE mark. To aid this compliance process, SYNRAD’s testing program has demonstrated that Firestar vi30 lasers comply with the relevant requirements of 2004/108/EC, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Direc- tive, as summarized in Table 2 below.

  • Page 14: Introduction

    Introduction The Firestar OEM vi30 laser is a more compact version of the Firestar v30 laser and is designed to provide OEMs with the smallest possible 30 W laser package. The optoisolated PWM input, PWM Positive, (on the DB-9 I/O connector) is identical to that on the v30 laser and, like the v30, the vi30 does not incorporate a built-in tickle generator—users must provide a 5...
  • Page 15: Installation

    Mounting The Firestar OEM vi30 base plate (and the optional customer-installed mounting feet) are designed so the laser can be easily mounted using only three 1/4–20 UNC or M6×1 ISO fasteners. Three ball bearing ‘feet’ eliminate any possible distortion of the laser tube caused by variations in the flatness of the mounting surface.
  • Page 16: Figure 4 Optional Mounting Feet Installation

    Optional mounting feet installation Mounting the OEM vi30 laser To fasten the Firestar OEM vi30 laser to your mounting surface, perform the following steps: Refer to the appropriate vi30 outline and mounting diagram and drill three holes into your mounting surface that cor- respond to either the UNC or metric baseplate (or optional mounting foot) hole pattern.

    DC power supply The Firestar OEM vi30 laser requires a DC power supply capable of providing 48 VDC at 10 A minimum (11 A peak for less than 1 ms). To connect the vi30 laser to the 48 VDC power supply, perform the following steps: Verify that input AC power to the DC power supply is physically locked out or disconnected.

    Optical Accessories Mounting – provides six threaded holes (8–32 UNC) for mounting optional beam delivery com- ponents available from SYNRAD. Because excessive weight may damage the laser, consult SYNRAD before mounting components not specifically designed as Firestar options. Refer to the Firestar OEM vi30 package outline drawings for mounting hole dimensions.

    Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block while testing. Warning On Firestar OEM vi30 lasers, DC voltage faults are not latched. Clearing a DC voltage fault (under- or over-voltage) will restore normal operation and lasing is possible after serious the five-second delay provided that the Laser Enable input signal is high.
  • Page 21 If you are not using a UC-2000 to control the laser, remove the PWM Command signal from the laser and re-apply tickle pulses every 200 µs. The LASE LED turns off. If your OEM vi30 laser fails to lase, refer to the Troubleshooting section for troubleshooting information. Synrad Firestar OEM vi30 reference guide...

    DC power to restore normal operation. Note: Firestar OEM vi30 outputs are voltage sources. They can provide only 20 mA typical, 40 mA maximum, to a ground referenced load (the ground reference, GND, is Pin 8.). The control board will be damaged if this current maximum is exceeded.

    When switching +5 VDC to the Laser Enable input (DB-9, Pin 9) through a switch or relay contact, we highly recommend adding a 100 Ohm, 1/4 watt resistor in series between the switching device and the Laser Enable input. Synrad Firestar OEM vi30 reference guide...
