  • Page 3: Declaration Of Conformity

    LS-200 SIL24 01507-00-000 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY This is to certify that the Laser Beam Shutter designated by Lasermet Part Number LS- 200 and LS-200 SIL3 has been tested in accordance with the following directives and standards and found to comply.
  • Page 4: Safety Warnings

    Be aware that once degradation starts to occur rapid failure is likely, possibly leading to the beam passing unhindered through the shutter. Due to the huge number of different types, powers and beam sizes of lasers Lasermet cannot guarantee suitability of this shutter in every case and testing may be necessary to ensure that the shutter provides the desired level of protection.
  • Page 5: Concept

    SIL3 shutters draw twice as much current as standard units. Note that the LS-200 will not operate on 12V systems as used for older LS-10 and LS-100 shutters. Lasermet interlock systems can be reconfigured to provide the necessary 24V.
  • Page 6: Indications

    Wiring The LS-200 shutter has a 15-way high density D plug. The connector makes available all of the various control and indication features of both the standard and the ‘SIL3’ versions. The pin connections are as follows: Monitor Contact 1 ‘Open’...
  • Page 7 LS-200 Instruction Manual Lasermet also supply extender cables to lengthen the shutter lead. Diagram 1 below shows the usual basic control wiring between a Lasermet ICS-6 Interlock Control System and LS-200. Diagram 1. Basic Control Wiring between ICS-6 and LS-200 In this arrangement the shutter buttons are operative allowing the shutter to be opened and closed when the ICS is armed.
  • Page 8: Installation

    In this unit one set of monitor contacts is dedicated to one of the shutters, the other contact to the other shutter, so the state of both blades can be monitored. When correctly interfaced to a Lasermet ICS, the interlock system cannot be armed if either one or both blades are not detected closed.
  • Page 9 To prevent permanent damage and invalidation of warranty it is essential that the power density of the laser is insufficient to ablate the blade. It is possible to order the LS-200 with other blade materials which may be more appropriate for more powerful lasers.
  • Page 10: Using With Powerful Lasers

    LS-200 Instruction Manual Using with Powerful Lasers If the blade or beam dump become overheated, they will be permanently damaged. Moreover, once damage has started to occur the situation is likely to deteriorate further unless immediate action is taken to turn off the laser.
