Functionality

Key switch

Insert the key and switch it clockwise to unlock the device

Laser diode activation button

Laser diode pump turn on and off The button LED lights when the laser is on

Laser diode indicator

green constant light – the laser is on, CW mode green constant light – the laser is on, pulse mode red light – error

TEC indicator

green light – the laser temperature is within ±0.15 0С of the set value yellow light – the temperature controller is operating but the laser temperature doesn’t correspond the set value red light – overheat error, the temperature controller is off

Menu system

Adjustment knob is the main control element providing menu system navigation and setting the values.

1. Turn the knob to select the desired line; the arrow ˃ points the present position.
2. Push the knob to enter the line. The arrow turns into rectangle. A numeric value is then set via turning the knob: clockwise to increase the value and counterclockwise to decrease it. The mode (CW or pulse) is switched also via turning the knob.
3. Push the knob again to confirm the set value and return to the line selection.
