A collimator produces a beam with parallel rays or in other words a collimated beam. A fibre laser can Optional be connected to a RAYLASE deflection unit using a collimator and the corresponding Collimator Bracket Set (see page 34, Installation with Collimator Bracket Set).
The product and serial number are also used to identify the product. The protective seal warns against unauthorised opening of the product. If the seal is broken, all warranty entitlements against RAYLASE are rendered void. Describes the most important safety measures to be followed before maintenance work is carried out.

3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3.7.9.2 SL2-100 Interface This interface can be used to connect the deflection unit to a RAYLASE control card. The detailed information for the interface is set out below. This interface is compatible to the SL2-100 protocol. The SUPERSCAN IV’s digital controller makes it possible to return data-signals to the control card. Data are transferred every 10 µs to the controller card via the interface.

3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3.7.10 Cabling information To connect the deflection unit to a RAYLASE control card, it is recommended to use original RAYLASE connection cables. If other connection cables are used, the following description must be strictly adhered to in order to ensure proper functioning of the system.
40. Installing the deflection unit The installation of a SUPERSCAN IV with a RAYLASE Collimator Bracket Set for a fibre laser is done according to chapter 4.6.2. A direct installation for example in combination with a solid-state laser is done according to chapter 4.6.1.
5. Check that the accessible optical components are free of dust and clean. If not, they must be cleaned (see page 38, Cleaning). Start-up Observe the following start-up sequence: 1. Switch on the RAYLASE control card. 2. Start the control software. 3. Switch on the power supply to the deflection unit. 4. Switch on the laser.
Cleaning the mirrors The mirrors are very sensitive and may only be cleaned by experienced professionals. We recommend sending the deflection unit to RAYLASE for this cleaning. 1. Before cleaning, ensure that the laser system is switched off and secured against being accidentally switched on again.
The product should be installed by two people wearing suitable safety shoes. In case the product fell down it must not be used any more. It has to be sent back to RAYLASE for service. Uninstalling the deflection unit 1.
2. In case of malfunctions, check whether the problem and a possible remedy appear in the following checklist. 3. If the fault cannot be resolved, contact RAYLASE Customer Service. Problem Possible cause Remedy...
