To configure a module, remove the eight screws that are recessed into the black
plastic with a 3/32" hex socket wrench (supplied in the shipping kit). See Figure
3.3.
Using the finger holes, pull the module straight toward the front of the mount to
disengage the electrical connector at the back of the circuit board. Do not lift up
on the module or you could break the electrical connector. When the
connector disengages, you can remove the module from the tray. It may be easier
to configure the mount if you remove the three fiber management clips. To remove
the clips, turn them 45 degrees and pull them out.
The next step is to configure the pins for each socket using the wires supplied with
the LDM-4616 shipping kit. On the bottom of the module are three pin headers for
each of the four sockets. Two of the three headers are labeled with laser package
pin numbers and the third header is labeled with electrical connections from the
back panel inputs. Put one wire into the electrical connection header and tighten
the screw in that header location to secure the wire. Place the other end of the
wire into the header slot corresponding to the pin-out number for yuor particular
laser and tighten the retaining screw.
To facilitate routing, wires can be secured in the wire management clips. Route
the wires around the black pedistal and below the surface of the pedistal so
they will not interfere with replacing the module in the mount. See Figure 3.4.
The surface of the pedestal sits flush on the heat sink when assembled back in
the mount tray. Repeat the process until all connections are made for each laser
socket.
