Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a Spectra-Physics laser system. The purpose of this document is to assist the user in establishing a suitable location and operating environment for optimum performance of the Quasar system. Proper power and room temperatures are required for each system. You are responsible for meeting these requirements prior to installation, with due consideration given to all applicable building and safety codes. -

It is designed to protect ferrous metals and copper alloys from corrosion. It is nitrite free and it minimizes the problems associated with bacteria control. Nalco can be ordered directly from Spectra-Physics, P/N 1607-0546. See Appendix B, “Nalco MSDS,” in the User’s Manuel for more information about the Nalco product. -

Your Quasar laser was packed with great care and its container was inspected prior to shipment— it left Spectra-Physics in good condition. Upon receiving your system, immediately inspect the outside of the shipping container. If there is any major damage (holes in the container, crushing, etc.), insist that a representative of the carrier be present when you unpack the contents. -

Page 16: Lifting And Moving The Laser
Lifting and Moving the Laser Spectra-Physics has specifically designed two service handles (ordered separately) to assist in moving the laser. Ensure that all the hardware is tight before moving the laser. Four people are required to move the laser if the lifting handles are going to be used. -
Page 17: Unpacking The Laser System
Unpacking the Laser System For customers who integrate the laser into a tool, Spectra-Physics recommends that the laser be shipped in its original container. The shipping crate offers the best protection. Spectra-Physics further recommends that you repackage the laser and vacuum seal the laser in a new shipping bag. -

Using two people, lift the cover up so that it clears the contents, then set it aside. d) Inspect the shock watches on each box. If they are tripped, call your Spectra-Physics representative immediately. If they are not tripped, proceed. -
Page 19: Unpacking The Power Supply
Open the inner bag, then open the inner box and remove the white styrofoam piece. When the inner box is opened, remove the accessory bags, and place them in a safe location. They are needed to connect the laser system. ©Newport Corporation MKS Spectra-Physics Confidential 19 of 29... -
Page 20: Unpacking The Power Supply (Cont'd)
Do a preliminary inspection of the power supply for damage and, if found, report the damage to Spectra-Physics. If there is no damage, proceed with the next step. Place all the packing materials in the crate and reseal the crate. -

Alternatively, two handles are provided to assist in moving the laser. The hardware is already attached to the laser while inside the crate. Four people are required to move the laser. Place all packing material in the crate and close the crate. ©Newport Corporation MKS Spectra-Physics Confidential 23 of 29... -
Page 24: Unpacking The Optional Chiller
Place all packing material in the crate and close the crate. If the installation site is properly prepared, the Quasar is now ready for installation. Please refer to the Quasar User’s Manual for Instructions. ©Newport Corporation MKS Spectra-Physics Confidential 24 of 29... -
Page 25: Packing The Laser System For Transportation Or Return To Spectra-Physics
Packing the Laser System for Transportation or Return to Spectra- Physics To return the Quasar system to Spectra-Physics for service, repair, or upgrade, use the original crates, boxes, bags, and packing material to repack it. Just reverse the unpacking instructions in the previous section to repack the system. -
Page 26: Additional Installation Options
Ensure that the electrical cables and interface cables are safely routed and are not under any strain. Avoid conditions where these cables can be stepped on by personnel. ©Newport Corporation MKS Spectra-Physics Confidential 26 of 29... -
Page 27: Installation Requirements For The Chiller
(4 Gallon Capacity, preferred mix is 2 Gallons of Nalco and 2 Gallons of distilled water.) Spectra-Physics provides optional chillers that are suitable for use with the Quasar laser system. If your chiller was ordered from the factory with your laser, it meets these requirements. For specific information about the chiller shipped with your system, consult the chiller manual included with the system. -

Page 29: Required Maintenance
Chiller should have its fluid changed every 6 months at a minimum. Check chiller hoses every 3 to 6 months. Laser head desiccant should be replaced every 12 months. ALPS (active laser purification system) should be replaced every 12 months. ©Newport Corporation MKS Spectra-Physics Confidential 29 of 29...
