Once you find that there is an abnormality in the external cabinet, please inform Raycus Company in time to deal with it as soon as possible. Please double check if each listed content is inside the package; and contact Raycus as soon as possible if there are any issues.
Page 10
Take extra care when removing the unit from the package and make sure that the fiber optic cable stays away from any possible collision and vibration. Please DO NOT distort, bend or pull the output cable when unpacking the device; and avoid any collision to the head of laser output. CAUTION: The fiber optic cable and output head are precise optic instrument, Any vibration or impact to the output head, and twist or excessive bend to the cable will damage the instrument.
Page 11
Safety keep the cap when using the laser. To avoid dust, make sure the opening direction of the cap is put down. Failure to follow the instructions may cause laser power loss, such loss is not covered by warranty. 2.6 Features The optical, electrical and other properties of RFL-C4000M-HP/ RFL-C20000M-HP lasers are listed in Table 2.

Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the protective end cap of the optical cable 3.3.2 Pre-installation Cleaning Instructions for Output Cables A) Preparation tools Cleaning agent: absolute ethanol, or isopropyl alcohol. Cleaning tools: cleaning cotton swabs, dust-free paper, compressed air bottles, etc. B) Steps a) Clean workbench should be turned on for at least 5 minutes, and the output optical cable should be taken out of the black packaging box, as Figure 5.
Page 17
Note: The following operations need to be carried out in a clean workbench. If the operation is not carried out in a clean environment, it will cause great risk to the output optical cable; operators need to wear finger cots to operate. Figure 6 The output optical cable placed in the clean bench with the ventilation turned on c) Remove the white dust cap and place it face down on new lint-free paper.
