Front Panel Fiber Optic Mating Adapters
Making sure all the laser leads are aligned with the correct contacts, secure
the laser to the socket heatsink by lifting and rotating the laser hold down
clamps over the laser flanges. Close and latch the lead clamps. Route your
pigtail fiber through the fiber management clips and fiber spools to the front
panel. Fiber management clips can be twisted together to securely retain the
fiber. Verify other connections and current / temperature controller settings
and the laser is ready for operation.

WARNING
Visible and / or invisible laser radiation is dangerous and may cause serious eye
damage. Avoid direct exposure to the beam. Be sure all laser fibers, connectors and
