4.3 Installation Procedure
The following section details how to install the EQ-99X system.
Note: The EQ-99X system is typically delivered with the laser fiber optic cable connected to the lamp head. This is
done to minimize the possibility of debris or particles contaminating the end of the laser fiber. Energetiq strongly
recommends leaving the laser fiber optic cable connected unless it is necessary to disconnect it for installation or
routing of the laser fiber. If the laser fiber optic cable must be disconnected, immediately apply an SMA cap to the
end of the cable and another cap to the end of the lamp head. Then, follow the directions to inspect and clean the
laser fiber as described in
Caution: Operating the source without any output target or beam transport is not recommended and may lead to
unsafe operating conditions. Similarly, mounting the lamp head in an orientation that differs from its original factory
alignment will cause the plasma position inside the bulb to shift slightly and may cause problems with performance
and system lifespan. Consult Energetiq for applications information and suggested configurations.
To install the EQ-99X system:
1. If not already connected, attach the laser fiber optic cable from the power supply controller to the lamp
head laser input. For instructions on attaching the laser fiber optic cable, see 4.2 Attaching the Laser Fiber from
the Controller to the Lamp
Figure 12.
Connecting the Laser Fiber Optic Cable to Lamp Head
Note: Use care when handling the fiber optic cable to avoid sharp bends, which will permanently damage
the cable. Minimum bend radius for the cable is 30 mm (1.18 in).
