1 Safety Information
Thank you for choosing Raycus fiber laser. This User Guide provides important safety, operation,
warranty and other information. Please read it carefully before you use this product. In order to
ensure safe operation and optimal performance of the product, please follow the warnings,
This series of lasers are classified as a high power Class 4 laser instrument according to the
European Community standards EN 60825-1, clause 9. This product emits invisible laser
radiation at or around a wavelength of 1080 nm, and the total light power radiated from the
optical output is greater than 100W~750W (depending on model). Direct or indirect exposure of
this level of light intensity may cause damage to the eye or skin. Despite the radiation being
invisible, the beam may cause irreversible damage to the retina and/or cornea. Appropriate and
approved laser safety eyewear must be worn all the time while the laser is operational.

There are additional cooling requirements for the QBH and RFL-QBH head. The head should be
cooled with an independent water circuit. A chiller with double temperature outputs is a good
option, and an individual chiller is also a proper choice. The cooling capability should be higher
than 400W, minimum flow should be 0.5L/min, outside diameter of the pipe should be 6mm, and
the most important, the maximum pressure is 2bar, and de-ionized water must be used.
CAUTION:
The water pressure to the QBH and/or RFL-QBH output head must be less
than 2bar, or the head will be damaged. Such damage is not covered by
guarantee.
Purified water should be used. In order to prevent mould growing that may lead to pipe blockage,
we recommend to add alcohol about 10% of the total volume. The cooling system should be
equipped with filter. Check and clean the filter every six months.

There are two different modes of operation-CW and modulation. In the CW mode, the laser
emits continuously, and you can set the output power by percentage of output power. In the
modulation mode, the laser emits in a waveform of pulses. The pulse can be set by upper
computer.
We provide three modes to control the product-hyper terminal, RS-232 and AD. The hyper
terminal mode is a local control mode; RS-232 and AD mode are remote control modes. In the

We have sensors to monitor the operation conditions of the laser, if any abnormal condition
occurs, the laser will be stopped, and error information will be sent out from the RS-232 port.

Press ‘2’ in the mode selection page, you will enter ‘Pulse mode’. You should provide 3
parameters for this operation-repetition frequency, duty cycle and percentage of output power.
For example, set the repetition frequency to 2kHz, duty cycle to 50% and percentage of output
power to 60%.
Please set repetition frequency (MIN=50, MAX=50000), press ‘Enter’ to confirm: 2000
The repetition frequency is between 50Hz and 50kHz, but you must input a number between 50
If you input a value out of the range specified in the brackets, the system will instruct you again

Press ‘3’ in the mode selection page to enter ‘CW mode with remote modulation’, and press ‘4’
to enter ‘Pulse mode with remote modulation’. In these 2 operation modes, the parameter
settings are no different from ‘CW mode’ and ‘Pulse mode’. Only one more emission condition
is added-remote modulation signal. So you must connect ‘MOD’ to remote modulation signal
with the MOD cable we provided. Notice that the modulation signal is 24V level, and active
high.
When the parameters are set, laser emission is enabled (‘LASER’ on front panel is pressed
down), and the remote modulation signal inputs from ‘MOD’, the laser emits.
RS-232 mode is a remote control mode. In this mode, we have a protocol for communication
between the laser and the upper computer, and you can set emission parameters and return errors.
Notice that the 'LASER' button is of no use in this mode, but make sure to keep it up.

windows hyper terminal, and configure it as stated in 4.7.2 Hyper Terminal Setup. But you can’t
set operation parameters from hyper terminal when the control mode is AD.
CAUTION:Please ensure that the analog signal DOES NOT exceed 10V,
or product may be damaged.
The red guide laser is integrated in the laser source, and the red laser is 0.5mW~1mW.
When you start the laser (use the key switch or remote switch, refer to 4.4.1) the red guide laser
will emit if ‘LASER’ on the front panel is up and ‘Emission On’ command is not sent to laser
through the RS-232 port (If you use RS-232 mode). Press down ‘LASER’ on the front panel or
send ‘Emission On’ command to the laser, the red guide laser will be off.

The red guide laser and the primary laser cannot emit simultaneously, if red laser is off, check
the ‘LASER’ on the front panel or try sending ‘Emission Off’ to the laser if you use RS-232
mode.

There are sensors monitoring the temperature inside the laser, as well as the output power, if the
laser does not operate in normal conditions, like that the temperature exceeds the range we set,
the output power offsets the output setting too much, the interlock breaks, or the main power
supply fails, etc, the laser will report error, and the error is also recorded.
If any error occurs during the operation, it is shown in the hyper terminal window, and the
‘ALARM’ indicator on the front panel illumines. The laser will stop and be locked. Before you

set to emit.
Possible Solution:
Restart the laser, if the error remains, please contact Raycus.
Description:
Interlock Error,it occurs when interlock circuit breaks, and the laser will
be stopped and locked.
Possible Solution:
Check the ‘SERVICE’ on the rear panel, the DB9 connector mated with
Err 5
the interface, and the wire on PIN6 and PIN on the DB9 connector,
make sure PIN6 and PIN 7 on ‘SERVICE’ are shorted when the DB9
connector is plugged into ‘SERVICE’. Then restart the laser and check
if the ‘INTERLOCK’ error is eliminated. If the error remains, contact
Raycus.
Description:
Emission Error, if the laser is correctly set to emit and there is no laser
output, the Emission Error occurs, and the laser will be stopped and
Err 6
locked. This error occurs only when the laser is set to emit.
Possible Solution:
Restart the laser, if the error remains, please contact Raycus.
Err 7 Reserved error code, undefined
Description:
Supply Error 1, the supply fail or AC Input flicks may cause the error,
Err 8 and the laser will be stopped and locked.
Possible Solution:
Restart the laser, if the error remains, please contact Raycus.
Description:
Supply Error 2, over-current or over-voltage in the supply will cause the
Err 9 error, and the laser will be stopped and locked.
Possible Solution:
Restart the laser, if the error remains, please contact Raycus.
