PowerLossMonitor PLM Connecting the 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 Do not operate the device without a connected water cooling. -
Page 14: Humidity
PowerLossMonitor PLM 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. • The temperature of the cooling water must not be lower than the dew point (see Tab. 7.1 on page 14). NOTICE Damage/Destruction of the device due to condensing water Condensation water inside of the device can lead to damage. -

Page 20: Connect The Safety Interlock
PowerLossMonitor PLM Connect the safety interlock The safety interlock protects the measuring device from damages by turning off the laser in case of an error. The device can be damaged in case of a low water flow rate. Whenever the water flow rate is too low, pins 1 and 4 are connected. In case the water flow rate is according to the operating conditions, pins 1 and 3 are connected. -
