Interlock Connector On Other External Lasers; Interlock Connector On The Scan Head - Leica TCS SP8 STED 3X User Manual

Remote interlock devices such as those connected to the room, the door or other onsite safety
interlock systems can also be connected to the remote interlock connector. The laser beam path is
interrupted if the contact is open.

Interlock Connector on the Scan Head

The interlock connector is located on the rear side of the scan head (operating voltage: 12 V DC, see
Figure 23).
For laser safety reasons, the inverted microscope must be connected to this connection or, if an
upright microscope is used, to the mirror housing. This ensures that the microscope safety switch is
integrated in the interlock circuit.

Interlock connector when using the white light laser
If the white light laser is operated as a component of the TCS SP8 X
system, you have to use the interlock connector on the supply unit!
The shorting plug must be connected to the interlock connector of the
white light laser.
If you operate the white light laser separately (without connecting it to
the TCS SP8 system), you have to use the interlock connector on the
white light laser for connecting remote interlocks.
