POWER CONSUMPTION

If de-rating is enabled the current will gradually be reduced to zero in order to try to allow the laser head
temperature to stabilise. If the current does reach zero the system will need to be restarted. The effects of
de-rating are shown in the table below:

A similar arrangement occurs for the PSU once the maximum operating temperature (see Section 1) has been
reached.
Important Note: The indicator LED in this instance is marked 'PSU OVERTEMP LED'.
Power Consumption
The power consumption shown is that which is drawn at the plug from the mains supply in both the Maximum and
Typical states. The Maximum power will usually be drawn at start up and the typical power is when all temperatures
are stabilized, and the system is operating at the specified power. Peak values are shown in all cases and
efficiencies will vary between systems of different wavelengths.
Maximum at 240 V supply – using the supplied External Power Supply Source:
120 W
At the 12 V input the MPC6000 can draw maximum of 8 A

The power dissipation of the laser head is no more than 40% of the total power consumption. The values shown are
