Connecting Power to the Gauge

The gauge requires a 20–28 VDC (nominal 24 VDC) supply to be connected to
Pin 24 and/or Pin 25 with the corresponding ground to Pin 12 and/or Pin 13 of
the 25-pin D-sub connector. The supply should be able to drive at least 2
Amps. For detailed information on supplying power to the gauge, see

Appendix D

.

Notes: Do not attach wires to the gauge while power is applied. Make all

wiring connections with power turned off. The gauge contains internal
fusing (3A, 125 V) on the 24 VDC supply line. This fuse is not user
serviceable.

The LS8000-3 is classified as a kit, according to CDRH regulations. It is your
responsibility to install a key switch to control the operation of the device. The
key switch should be installed as shown in the following figure. It is in line with
the 24-volt supply line that will service to power the device. The recommended
key switch can be found in the accessory kit. The key switch should be
mounted in a convenient location that does not require exposure to the laser
beams. After installation, label the panel as to which position corresponds to
“Laser On” and “Laser Off.”

The following figure shows the correct installation of the recommended switch
(C&K Components part number YM06132C205NQ). If another type of key
switch is used, it should be verified that the key is removable only in the “Laser
Off” position.

For more information on laser safety issues, refer to the

Safety

section at the

beginning of this manual.

Warning: A key switch must be installed and labelled correctly to ensure

proper protection of personnel working with the laser.
