Activating and Deactivating the Source
This section gives you all the information required to activate and
deactivate the source. For more information on the particular safety
features, see Safety Features on page 4.
To activate the WDM Laser Source:
1. Make sure that the interlock connector (located on the instrument
front panel) is closed.
Note: Since the interlock circuit is a mechanical device, it cannot be opened or
closed via the application.
2. If the WDM Laser Source is locked, you will have to unlock it with the
software key button (Unlock button). This button displays an open
interlock when the instrument is locked.
If necessary, use the Unlock button. When prompted, enter the
password “safekey”.
Note: Using the Unlock button when the instrument is unlocked will
automatically stop light emission.
