• Equipment Safety
• Installation
• Fundamentals of Laser Operation
• Laser Description
• Service Procedures
• Troubleshooting

Section 2 Equipment Safety
Introduction
As with any electrical equipment, there are potential hazards involved with the operation and
servicing of the laser system. This section of the technical guide identifies these potential hazards
and suggests precautions to avoid them.
Potential Hazards
Optical Hazards
The Revlite laser generates laser light at a wavelength of 532 and 1064 nm.
Greater energies can be generated from the laser head especially during service operations. At
these wavelengths and energy levels, serious and permanent damage to the eyes can occur when
there is direct or even indirect optical exposure.
WARNING: Do not look directly at laser resonator as the flashlamps fire or severe and
permanent eye damage may occur. These lasers produce laser light each time
the flashlamps fire. Make certain to wear the correct laser eyewear for the
wavelength you are servicing.
Please adhere to the following precautions to avoid optical damage during the operation or
servicing of the laser:
• Ensure that everyone present during service procedures wears the appropriate protective
eyewear recommended by Cynosure.
• Never look directly into the laser light, even while wearing protective eyewear.
• Mark treatment rooms clearly to avoid unexpected entry during treatment or servicing.
• Limit entry to the treatment or servicing room to trained, necessary personnel only.
• Cover windows and other openings in the treatment room to avoid the inadvertent escape
of laser light.
• Cover reflective objects, such as jewelry or mirrors, which could reflect the laser beam to
an area other than the intended treatment area.
• Put the laser into the standby mode when the laser is not in use.
• Ensure that everyone present during service procedures can shut down the laser in an
emergency.

Electrical Hazards
The system requires 230VAC ±10%; 20A, 50-60 Hz, single-phase electrical service to operate.
WARNING: Even when the laser is off and the AC line cord is disconnected, DC voltages
on various laser components, such as capacitors may exist. This can present a
potentially fatal electrical hazard during service procedures.
Take the following precautions to avoid electrical shock during servicing:
• Always turn the laser off and disconnect the AC line cord from the receptacle before
removing the protective housing of the laser system.
• With the laser off, allow the dump resistors to dissipate the energy in the pulse forming
network capacitors to a safe level, approximately 45 seconds. Monitor the voltage on the
capacitors with a DVM probe to ensure it is at a safe level.
• If it is necessary to test or adjust any electrical component while the system power is on,
be careful not to touch any electrical components with bare fingers; use appropriate
probes or insulated tools only.
• Become familiar with the electrical schematics and layout of the system before
attempting to service the laser.
If the AC must be connected during service routines, exercise caution around mains connected
components, such as power supply feeds, circuit breakers, key switches, etc. A remote interlock
fault condition will reduce high voltage electrical hazards to service personal. This fault
condition disables the high voltage power supply control and simmer circuits, as well as ensuring
that the cap bank is discharged, grounding the potential of the pulse forming network. When
possible, remove the remote interlock plug during “live” service routines.
Grounding
Even when the laser is turned off and the AC line cord disconnected, high DC voltage levels may
remain. To discharge High Voltage from the laser, use a discharge stick.
DO NOT use a discharge stick that has an uninsulated or an “alligator” clip on one end.
The main capacitor bank stores large amounts of electrical energy. Measure the voltage on the
capacitor bank before attempting any service.

Fire Hazards
When the laser beam contacts any exterior surfaces, the surface absorbs the laser energy, which
raises the surface temperature of any flammable substance. Service personal must take the
following precautions.
• Always keep a small fire extinguisher and water in the treatment room.
• Never direct the laser beam onto any surface except a power meter or an appropriate
beam dump.
Hot-Water Hazards
The laser system uses a hot water system to maintain the laser medium at a certain temperature.
This water is very hot and could scald. Do not perform any maintenance on the water system
while hot. Always let the system cool down before changing the deionizing filter or adding
deionized or distilled water.
Safety Considerations
CAUTION: Always follow established laser safety procedures while performing service
procedures on the RevLite Laser. Wear laser safety eyewear at all times. Use
caution when working in the high voltage section of the laser. Failure to abide
by safety procedures can result in injury.
Post the laser warning sign at the entrance to your work space to alert others to the hazard when
working on the system.

Service Equipment
A full complement of tools is required to service this laser system. It is expected that service
personnel carry at least the following tools to a laser installation or service repair call.
These basic tools and optics cleaning supplies should be adequate for most of the maintenance
procedures. Using Kodak Burn Paper to evaluate the beam burn pattern is a quick way to
determine whether the laser’s optics are damaged. It is not essential, but extremely helpful.
Required Tools
• Allen wrench set (standard and metric)
• Screw drivers (blade and Phillips)
• Pliers and cutters
• Assorted wrenches
• Hemostat
• Laser safety glasses (1064nm and 532nm, OD>5)
• IR Card
• Center fixture pinhole jigs
• Jig Alignment Aiming Beam (JAAB) P/N 998-9140
Required Equipment
• Digital Volt Meter (DVM)
• Power meter and head to measure laser output at 1064nm and 532nm, up to 20 watts
• Oscilloscope and HV Probe
• Laptop computer or handheld with communication software and 9-pin serial-to-serial
modem cable.
• Burn paper (Kodak Linagraph Direct Print Paper
• Solvent (reagent grade or better methanol)
• Lens tissue
• Cotton swabs
• Software programming cable

Section 3 Introduction
Product Description
The RevLite is a flash lamp pumped, Q-switched, Nd: YAG laser system that develops up to 16
Watts of 1064 nm wavelength laser light. It produces up to 4 wavelengths of laser light for
treating a variety of skin conditions. It also has a frequency doubler (SHG) that produces up to 5
Watts of 532 nm wavelength laser light. This power is delivered through an articulated arm with
an attached hand piece that can vary the spot size of laser beam delivered to the treatment site.
In addition, the MultiLite Dye hand pieces can be attached to the articulated arm to develop
either 585 nm or 650 nm wavelength laser light. These hand pieces incorporate a polymer dye
cell that converts the 532 nm wavelength light from the laser. These dye cells are stable and
non-hazardous. The liquid dyes that are used in dye laser systems are very hazardous and
require great care in handling and in disposal.
The RevLite introduces a touch screen controlled user interface with an LCD display. It has
preset treatment parameters for the various treatment procedures that can be customized by the
user. This simplifies the setup for a treatment type and minimizes the possibility of errors in
starting conditions. In addition to the preset treatment parameters, the user has 6 available user
defined treatment buttons to use as they see fit. The user interface has 5 languages available;
English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Wavelength and Frequency

Light can be represented as a stream of particles, called photons, that travel at a constant speed
through time and space. Light can also be characterized by its wavelength or frequency.
Wavelength is the distance between the wave peaks of the propagating light wave. Medical laser
wavelengths are often expressed in nanometers (0.000,000,001 or 1 x 10-9 meters).
Light frequency denotes the number of wave peaks that pass through a point in one second. For
green light the wavelength is approximately 500 nm and the frequency is 60,000,000,000,000
Hz.
Figure 1 Wavelength of Light
Each photon, depending upon the wavelength of the light, has a specific energy. Photons with
short wavelengths have more energy than photons with a longer wavelength.
Figure 2 is a graph that shows the relative wavelengths for various colors of light. Compared to
visible light, ultraviolet wavelengths are shorter and infrared wavelengths are longer.

Conversely, on a similar scale showing frequency rather than wavelength, ultraviolet frequencies
are higher and infrared frequencies are lower when compared to visible light.
Figure 2 The Light Spectrum
The frequency of light multiplied by its wavelength always equals the speed of light, a constant
number (3 x 108 meters per second). Therefore, doubling the light frequency reduces the
wavelength by half. The ConBio RevLite® Medical Laser System is a Q-switched Nd:YAG
laser that uses a frequency doubling device to reduce the 1064 nm light wavelength by half, to
532 nm. This alone enables the laser to produce two wavelengths of light. To the human eye,
1064 nm is invisible and 532 nm appears as green light.
Multilite™ Dye Laser Handpieces (Optional Accessory)

The Multilite™ Dye Laser Handpieces are complete solid-state dye laser systems that are pumped
by the 532 nm laser light from the RevLite™ to generate either 585 nm (yellow) or 650 nm (red)
laser light. These additional wavelengths greatly expand the indications for use for the
RevLite™ Medical Laser System. All other medical dye laser systems incorporate liquid dye
solutions whose solvents create disposal problems due to their toxicity. The ConBio Multilite™
Dye Laser Handpieces are a convenient and ecologically-friendly alternative.
Continuous Wave vs Pulsed Delivery

In addition to wavelength, lasers are referred to as continuous wave (CW) or pulsed. A CW laser
delivers a steady stream of light that is measured as average power in watts or kilowatts. A
pulsed laser delivers a very short but intense light emission followed by a period of no light.
If the laser is repetitively pulsed, the pulse repeats itself on a regular basis. The time between
pulses is referred to as the interpulse period and the length of each pulse is called the pulse
duration. The number of Hertz (Hz) represents the number of pulses emitted per second.
The length of the pulse duration is an important pulsed laser characteristic. Pulses lasting a few
milliseconds (10-3 seconds) are generally characterized as long. Nanosecond (10-9 seconds)
pulses are considered short. Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser pulses are typically 3-7nsec in length.
A laser operating at 10 kHz produces 10,000 pulses per second. If the laser is activated for 0.1
second, it will produce a train of 1,000 pulses. This is referred to as operating the laser in a gated
mode. See Figure 3 Gated Mode of Pulsed Laser Energy.

Figure 3 Gated Mode of Pulsed Laser Energy
The units of measurement for CW lasers are watts of output power. A watt is a measure of the
"flow of energy" or power. The sum of this energy over one second is expressed in Joules. One
Joule is one watt of energy for one second. To clarify, a watt is a measure of the number of
photons multiplied by their energy striking a target in one second. A Joule is a measure of the
total energy of photons striking a target over a period of time.
Error! Reference source not found. is an illustration of a laser pulse. The shaded area
represents all of the energy (Joules) contained in the pulse. At any point in time, the height of
the pulse represents the instantaneous power and is measured in watts. For a pulsed Nd:YAG
laser, the total energy inside the shaded area is .01 to 1.0 Joules. The instantaneous power at the
pulse peak may be in excess of 200 Megawatts (MW).
The RevLite® Laser measures the pulsed

laser energy of a single pulse rather than
average power. To compute average power,
the repetition rate is multiplied by the pulse
energy. For example, 10 pulses per second
with a pulse energy of 1.0 Joules would
yield an average laser power of 10 watts.
Figure 4 Laser Pulse
The pulsed Nd:YAG laser has a much lower repetition rate when compared to KTP and copper
vapor lasers, 1-10 Hz vs. 8-25 kilohertz (kHz). Slower pulsing enables more energy to be
compressed into a single pulse and longer interpulse time. The pulsed Nd:YAG laser produces
up to 1.6 Joule in a single pulse, while KTP or copper vapor, have much lower pulse energies
(approximately 0.002 Joules). Their repetition rates may be 25 kilohertz for an average power of
10 watts. Short pulses with high peak powers and longer interpulse times have unique tissue
effects that are needed to perform the applications outlined in RevLite Operation Manual.

Fluence
Fluence (energy density) indicates how much laser energy is compressed into the laser spot size.
For the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, it is computed by dividing the amount of energy in a single
pulse by the cross sectional area of the spot generated by the focusing lens at the treatment
surface. The unit of measure for fluence is typically expressed as Joules/cm2.

Section 4 System Descriptions

Lumina Module High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS)

AC Power Unit
• Low Voltage Power Supply
• High Voltage Power Supply
• Pulse Forming Network
The power supply contains the following component selections:

• Medical grade AC line filter
• Low voltage DC supplies

• High voltage power supply
• Simmer Module
• SCR firing circuitry
Power from the AC mains enters the RevLite™ through an IEC 320 C13 receptacle located on
the rear of the RevLite™ unit. Both legs (hot and neutral) of the AC mains are routed to the AC
module, and are switched through a (15 amp for 100~115 V operation and 8 amp for 220~240 V
operation) circuit breaker, which supplies power to the RevLite™ power supply. The AC mains
then go thought the medical grade AC line filter selection of the power supply this provides
suppression of high frequency noise in both directions. The key switch and emergency stop
switch do not switch the ac mains. They are low voltage logic level switches that are monitored
by the microprocessor. When the key switch is turned on the microprocessor then starts the
POST test sequence.
WARNING: Power is ON in the unit when the circuit breaker is ON. Turn the circuit
breaker OFF to remove internal voltages.
Low Voltage Power Supply

• Low voltage DC supplies are used to provide power to the control and monitoring system
logic. The low voltage section of the power supply consists of these voltages on the aux
output connector.
• Pin 1 is +28VDC.
• Pin 2 is -12VDC.
• Pin 3 is the control to the heat exchanger fans. In standby, this voltage is +12VDC and
with the laser is flashing the voltage is +28VDC. When this +28V is present it will turn
on the simmer module selection of the power supply.
• Pin 6 & 7 are +5VDC.
• Pins 8, 9, & 10 are DC grounds.
High Voltage Power Supply

The high voltage power supply selection (HVPS) is a switching power supply, which provides
charging current to the PFN energy capacitor. The HVPS provides up to 1500VDC at 1500
watts of power. The RevLite™ system logic can set the HVPS output voltage over a range of 0
to 1500VDC in 1VDC increments and enable or disable the HVPS output. The HVPS provides
automatic disable and end of charge indication when the capacitor voltage reaches the set value.
The HVPS also provides automatic disable and fault indication when over voltage and/or over
temperature fault conditions occur. During operation, the system logic sets the desired output

voltage then enables the HVPS output which starts the energy capacitor charging cycle. When
the voltage on the energy capacitor reaches the set voltage, the logic inside the HVPS disables
the HVPS output and sets the end of charge output low indicating charge completion to the
RevLite™ logic.
The laser control computer controls the HVPS by a 0~10V control voltage, which is
produced by a 12-bit digital to analog converter (DAC) on the I/O board. The laser
control software sets or modifies the voltage.
During power ON, the voltage is set to minimum (¼-volt output, HVPS disabled).
When an error occurs, the voltage is set to minimum (¼-volt output, HVPS disabled).
On entry to Ready mode, HVPS enabled.
When the technician uses the RS232 command VOLTS. State of enabling depends on
the laser mode. If in a lasing mode then the voltage changes the output of the HVPS.
Otherwise, the output of the HVPS is inhibited regardless of the HVPS control setting.
The algorithm used by the laser control software to control the HVPS output voltage is:
Technician or software specifies required HVPS output volts.
The maximum power supply output is 1500 volts.
The HVPS output responds linearly with the 0~10V control input.
The I/O board contains a 12-bit DAC which produces 0~10V output.
The maximum value of the 12-bit DAC is 4,095 points (12-bit maximum). This provides
a resolution of ¼ volt per DAC point.
Every 2 ms the laser control computer outputs the appropriate number of DAC points
required by the HVPS to produce the desired output voltage.
Pulse-Forming Network
The pulse-forming network (PFN) delivers energy to the flash lamp and contains the elements,
which determine the flash lamp pulse width. The PFN consists of the energy capacitor, the
trigger transformer (‘brick’), the simmer module provide output current of 300mA and the SCR
circuitry, which are selections of the power supply.
The energy capacitor is charged by the HVPS and contains the energy that is delivered to the
flash lamp. The trigger transformer (brick) is a saturable power inductor and is connected in
series with the flash lamp.
The brick in conjunction with the flash lamp and energy capacitor forms the pulse width and
pulse shape of the flash lamp current pulse. Additionally, the brick contains an extra winding for
use in triggering the flash lamp (hence the name ‘trigger’ transformer). The brick provides a 30:1
turns ratio between the trigger and power inductor windings.
The simmer module is a self-contained power supply, which provides trigger pulses and simmers
current to the flash lamp.
The SCR circuitry selection of the power supply switches the energy from the capacitor to the
flash lamp when the laser is fired. Additionally, the SCR circuitry selection of the power supply
provides a 33KΩ shunt across the energy capacitor, which removes the charge whenever the
laser is not in Ready mode.
When the RevLite™ high voltage section is enabled by the system logic (Ready mode), the PFN
generates trigger pulses to the flash lamp until the gas inside the flash lamp ionizes (breaks
down) and forms an electrically conductive path. Once the flash lamp breaks down the PFN

maintains 300mA of DC current (simmer current) flowing through the flash lamp until the laser
is fired. The system logic fires the laser by providing a drive pulse to the SCR circuitry selection
of the power supply, which causes the energy capacitor to discharge through the flash lamp.
RevLite Bench
The RevLite Bench is composed of an optical deck and electronics. The optical deck is a folded
oscillator cavity. For optical layout diagram see chapter Appendix E Diagrams.
For further information on troubleshooting and routine maintenance of the optical deck see
Appendix C: Error Code Troubleshooting.
SmartBoard
The RevLite™ Laser system micro-controller based Smart circuit board is located on the bottom
side of the laser bench. Located on the Smartboard is a dip-switch (S 1). The switch must be
set to the DP mode for the RevLite. The SmartBoard provides the interface between the main
system CPU and the laser bench. The laser bench items monitored and/or controlled by the
SmartBoard are the laser head temperature interlock, the articulated arm installed interlock,
position of the intra-cavity shutter, position of the output shutter, position of the sliding stage
(wavelength selection), SHG crystal temperature, calibration port, optical attenuator, Pockells
cell drive, laser oscillator energy sensor and laser output energy sensor. The SmartBoard
receives commands from and reports laser bench status to the main system CPU.
The SmartBoard is based on the Microchip PIC16C74A micro-controller which
provides 5MIPs (mega-instructions per second) performance, 4K bytes program
EPROM, 192 bytes RAM, an 8 channel A/D converter, 33 digital I/O’s and a
USART for serial data. In addition to the micro-controller, the SmartBoard
provides 128bytes of non-volatile EEPROM memory for storage of the calibration
table(s) and energy monitor amplifier gain settings, an RS-485 serial
communications port for communications with the main system CPU, and interface
circuitry for the controlled laser bench components.
System Interface.
The SmartBoard is connected to the laser power supply electronics through a 9 conductor cable
terminated on each end in a Molex 0.1” pitch connector. One end of the cable connects to J12
of the SmartBoard and the other end connects to J4 of the system backplane PCB. The cable
provides +28VDC, +5VDC, RS-485 serial data communications, and synchronization pulses to
the SmartBoard.
The +28VDC provides power for the analog circuitry and the output driver functions of the
SmartBoard. +28VDC is used to drive the shutters, the SHG heater and the sliding stage motor.
The +5VDC provides power to the SmartBoard digital logic.
The RS-485 communications provides the bi-directional exchange of status and control
information between the SmartBoard and power supply. RS-485 is a differential, half duplex,
serial communications interface. The RS-485 is connected to the SmartBoard microprocessor
through an interface IC (U5). U5 provides an RS-485 differential interface on the line side and a
TTL level microprocessor interface consisting of single ended transmit and receive data lines
with directional control on the microprocessor side. Resistors R73, R74, and R75 provide RS-
485 line balancing and termination.

The synchronization pulses are TTL logic pulses provided by the power supply to the
SmartBoard to synchronize the Q-switch firing and the energy monitoring with the laser flash
lamp firing. The TTL logic pulses are buffered by the circuitry surrounding U6 and provide an
interrupt to Port RB0 of the SmartBoard microprocessor.
System Interlocks
The RevLite® Laser System contains a system of interlock switches and sensors which
provide the status of critical laser components and safety equipment to the control logic.
When an interlock is violated, the system logic responds by interrupting laser operation,
making all systems safe, and displaying an error message for the given condition on the
system control console. During this condition all high voltage is turned off, the energy
capacitor is discharged, and the laser shutters are closed. Each interlock type is
independent and thus a specific error message is displayed for each interlock condition.
The interlock switches and sensors are located in two primary areas: the main system chassis and
the laser optical bench assembly.
Main Chassis Interlocks.

The interlocks in the main system chassis monitor the following items: external interlock,
cooling system flow, articulated arm, and the high voltage power supply.
The external interlock consists of a 3.5mm stereo phone jack located on the rear of the system
chassis. A 3.5mm stereo plug containing a wire bypass jumper is supplied with the system. The
jumper can be removed and the plug connected to a switch installed on the treatment room door.
When the treatment room door is closed continuity is provided to the external interlock logic
which satisfies the safe condition status. When the treatment room door is opened external
interlock continuity is broken indicating an unsafe condition. The logic responds by interrupting
laser operation and displaying an error message on the control console.
The laser cooling system flow interlock consists of a pressure sensor which provides a ground to
the system logic when the coolant system flow is adequate. When the coolant flow is stopped,
the ground is removed from the system coolant flow interlock input indicating an unsafe
condition. The logic responds by interrupting laser operation and displaying an error message on
the control console.
The high voltage power supply (HVPS) provides two interlocks that monitor the HVPS voltage
output and internal temperature. When the HVPS is operating normally it provides a high
impedance to the system logic for each interlock. When an over voltage failure is detected the
HVPS provides a ground to the system logic indicating the failed condition. Likewise, when an
over temperature failure is detected, the HVPS provides a ground to the system logic indicating
the failed condition. In each case the logic responds by interrupting laser operation and
displaying the appropriate error message on the control console.
Optical Bench Interlocks.

The interlocks in the optical bench are connected to the SmartBoard located on the underside of
the optical bench. The SmartBoard monitors these interlocks every 5mS and reports the status to
the main system logic every 100mS during a periodic poll cycle. When an optical bench
interlock is violated, the SmartBoard closes the laser shutters immediately, and reports the failed
condition to the main system logic during the next poll cycle. The interlocks in the optical bench

monitor the head temperature, the calibration port, and articulated arm installation. The details
of these interlocks are described in the SmartBoard section.
Head Temperature Monitor.

The head temperature sensor is connected to the SmartBoard on pins 1 and 2 of connector J7.
Pin 1 is +5VDC. Pin 2 is the signal input to the board and is connected to input RD2 of the
micro-controller (U3) through resistor R58. The temperature sensor is normally closed
connecting pins 1 and 2 of J7 pulling RD2 high. When the laser head temperature reaches 70°C,
the sensor opens and RD2 is pulled low by R59. The temperature sensor does not close again
until the laser head cools to less than 65°C.
Arm Interlock.
The articulated arm interlock switches are connected to the SmartBoard on pins 1 and 2 of
connector J9. Pin 1 is +5VDC. Pin 2 is the signal input to the board and is connected to input
RD3 of the micro-controller (U3) through resistor R60. When the articulated arm is not
installed, the switches are open and RD3 is pulled low by R61. When the articulated arm is
installed, the switches connect pins 1 and 2 of J9 pulling RD3 high. Pins 3 and 4 of J9 are a
spare interlock input and not used at this time.
Shutter Control.
The shutter assembly plugs into the SmartBoard on connector J2.
J2 is a 10 pin connector for the output shutter assembly. The Shutter is switched with a
MOSFET which is driven by the SmartBoard processor. The shutter solenoid winding is
connected between pins 8 and 9 of the respective connector J2. Pin 8 provides +28VDC to one
end of the winding and pin 9 provides ground to the other end of the winding when the MOSFET
is turned on thus completing the circuit. In order to open the shutter the SmartBoard processor
sets port RE0 high for the cavity shutter and RE1 high for the output shutter. This turns on the
MOSFET switch (Q4 for cavity shutter, Q2 for the output shutter) which energizes the solenoid
causing the shutter to open. Once the SmartBoard processor detects that the shutter is opened, it
drives the MOSFET with a 100Hz, 50% duty cycle, square wave. This keeps the shutter open
but reduces the current through the solenoid to 50% allowing cooler operation.
The laser shutter assembly is equipped with photo-interrupt type position sensor. This sensor
provides a high logic level output when the shutter is closed and a low logic level output when
the shutter is open. The shutter sensor requires current for the LED emitter and power for the
detector logic. Pin 3 of J2 is the sensor LED drive, pin 4 is the LED ground, pin 5 is the power
for the detector logic, pin 6 is the shutter position sense, and pin 7 is ground.
In the case of the cavity shutter, Pin 6 of J3 is connected to input RD0 of the micro-controller
(U3) through resistor R37. When the cavity shutter is closed RD0 is pulled high by R36. When
the cavity shutter is open, the shutter sensor pulls RD0 low. VR1 and R37 protect the micro-
controller input from transients.
Sliding Stage Control.

A motor driven sliding stage assembly is used to move a prism between two positions for
wavelength selection. The SmartBoard provides a bipolar motor drive output and two inputs for
position limit sensing. The motor drive is provided on pins 4 and 5 of J8. The motor drive

circuit consists of two totem pole circuits each capable of sourcing current from +28VDC or
sinking current to ground. One totem pole circuit is connected to each side of the motor winding.
To energize the motor the SmartBoard sets one side of the winding to +28DC and the other side
to ground. To reverse the direction of the motor the SmartBoard processor reverses the polarity
provided to the motor winding. To stop the motor movement the SmartBoard processor drives
both ends of the motor winding to ground. Ports RB6 and RB7 are used to control the motor
drive circuitry.
Table 1 shows the result for different states of ports RB6 and RB7.
Table 1 RB6 and RB7 Results for Various Sliding Stage Control States
RB RB SLIDING STAGE RESULT

HI LO Pin 4 of J8 +24VDC Movement towards 1064
limit.
Pin 5 of J8 ground
HI HI Pin 4 of J8 +24VDC No Movement
Pin5 of J8 +24VDC
The sliding stage assembly contains movement limit switches providing a contact closure at the
limit of travel in each direction. The SmartBoard processor monitors each switch contact to
determine the position of the sliding stage. The SmartBoard turns off the motor drive by setting
both ends of the motor winding to ground when the desired limit switch closure is detected.
The 1064nm position limit switch is connected to the SmartBoard between pins 1 and 2 of
RB4 of the micro-controller (U3) through resistor R48. When the sliding stage is not in the
1064nm position, the 1064nm limit switch is open and RB4 is pulled low by R50. When the
sliding stage is in the 1064nm position the1064nm limit switch connects pins 1 and 2 of J8
pulling RB4 high.
The 532nm position limit switch is connected to the SmartBoard between pins 1 and 3 of
RB5 of the micro-controller (U3) through resistor R49. When the sliding stage is not in the
532nm position, the 532nm limit switch is open and RB5 is pulled low by R51. When the
sliding stage is in the 532nm position the 532nm limit switch connects pins 1 and 3 of J8 pulling
RB5 high.
SHG Temperature Control.

Temperature control of the SHG crystal is provided on J5. +28VDC is provided to the heater
element on pins 1 and 2 of J5. Heater element drive is provided on pins 3 and 4. To activate the
heater element the SmartBoard processor drives port PE2 high. This turns on transistor Q7

which provides a low to J5 pins 3 and 4 which completes the circuit for the crystal heater
element.
An SHG Crystal temperature sense input is provided on Pins 5 and 6 of J5. This input accepts an
RTD thermistor and consists of a resistance bridge circuit with scaling amplifier. The output of
the scaling amplifier is provided to analog input port RA3. The SmartBoard processor compares
the output of the thermistor bridge circuit with the internally programmed temperature value and
adjusts the heater element drive to maintain the required temperature. The SmartBoard
maintains the SHG crystal temperature to within + 1°C of the programmed value.
Energy Monitor Inputs.

The SmartBoard provides input for the pyro-electric detectors for monitoring. The pyro-electric
detector is connected to the SmartBoard on coaxial SMB type connector, J1 for the monitor pyro.
Settings for 1064nm and 532nm are stored in the SmartBoard EEPROM. These settings are
uploaded to the digital potentiometer on power up and each time the sliding stage is moved.
2.5mS after the synchronization interrupt the micro-controller performs an A/D conversion on
the sampled pyro-electric detector signal and stores it for communication to the main CPU.
Diode CR9 clamps the A/D input at 5V to protect the SmartBoard processor from damage.
Marx Bank Drive Output.

The SmartBoard provides an output for driving a Marx bank high voltage pulse generator. The
output of the Marx bank generator rotates the polarity of a Pockells cell for Q-switch operation.
The Marx bank drive is provided on a coaxial SMB type connector J6. When the main CPU
fires the laser it provides a pulse on the lamp sync input (J12 pin 1) which interrupts the
SmartBoard processor. The SmartBoard processor waits the duration programmed as Q-MAX
then generates a 1uS high pulse on port RB2 which turns on transistor Q5. The collector of Q5
pulls the base of Q6 low which turns on Q6 producing a pulse on J6. Q-MAX is the desired Q-
delay programmed via the RS-232 port during initial laser set up.
Monitoring Pyro
The RevLite uses an energy monitoring Pyro. Emission in the laser cavity is picked off by a
Brewster window into the Monitoring Pyro This Pyro is used by the Rabbit to determine the
value to servo and is also used by the oscillator calibration process (MIN and MAX commands).
While the footswitch is pressed, if the emission drops below 20% of the requested setting then
the display will show error 98 (energy low by 20%). If the emission rises above 20% of the
requested setting then the display will show error 99 (energy high by 20%).
The SmartBoard reads the Pyro signal, converts it to an 8-bit digital value and transmits this
value to the laser control computer when the laser control computer requests the status of the
laser head. The laser control computer requests the status of the laser head every cycle of the
SmartBus which is approximately 100 ms.
Although the laser control computer requests the laser head status continuously, every 100ms,
the Pyro value is not acted upon unless the laser is firing and the internal shutter is open (the
laser is lasing). During laser system adjustment, energy or HZ, the first 2 seconds of Pyro
readings are read, but are not acted upon. These first Pyro values are discarded because the
optics may need to thermally settle during energy, wavelength and Hz changes before depending
upon the Pyro readings for servo'ing volts.

When the Pyro is read, a running average of Pyro readings is maintained. At each new reading
of the Pyro, 1/8th of the old average is discarded and 1/8th of the new reading is added. The
intent is to smooth the readings for calibration and servo'ing where we want a more stable
reading than the shot-to-shot reading.
Single pulse and double pulse energy is monitored uses the same detector put is measured on a
separate A/D Channel.
Active Q-switch
The Q-switch consists of the following:
Optical
• Pockells cell
• Plate polarizing element
• Quarter-wave plate
Electrical
• Timed pulse generated by micro board
• Dual Marx bank / 750 volt power supply
Pockells cell.
The Pockells cell has a longitudinal field KD*P crystal with a 12mm clear aperture mounted at
43mm beam height. A voltage of ~3600 results in a quarter wave of rotation for photons at 1064
nm passing in either direction. A voltage of 0 results in no rotation, and no lasing occurs.
Dual Marx Bank /750 Power Board.

Is a dual board that combines a Dual Marx Bank and the 750V power supply. A 750V section of
this board generates the dc voltage necessary to power the Marx Bank section. The Dual Marx
Bank section of the board charges capacitors in parallel and then discharged them through fast
switching transistors in series so that the voltage on each capacitor is summed.

Laser Head
The RevLite™ Laser System uses the ConBio Model 712-09 laser head. The head is a modular
design that incorporates a rod and flashlamps. It has 2 linear flashlamps that are in a close-
coupled configuration and surrounded by a high brilliance Barium Sulfate diffuser. This design
results in a high pumping efficiency that minimizes thermal loading and reduces power
consumption. These features combine to create the excellent pumping homogeneity required for
producing high gain and superior quality beams. The 712-09 head is designed for a beam height
of 43mm.
Rods
The head is designed to pump Nd+3 doped YAG. The doping levels vary from 0.9 to 1.1%. The
YAG rod ends have hard dielectric anti reflective coating (AR). The 712-09 rod length is
115mm as measured along the optical axis. The diameter of the rod is 9.5mm.
Flashlamps
The head is pumped by 2 linear flashlamps. The lamp has a voltage polarity that must be
observed. A red marking on the electrode can identify the flashlamp anode, whereas the cathode
has no marking. The discharge system of the flashlamp uses a negative critically damped pulse
(-1.5Kv max.) with a duration of 250 microseconds full width half max (FWHM). The gas in the
flashlamp is xenon with a pressure of 1-3 atmospheres.
Plate polarizer

The thin film multi-layer dielectric polarizer, dual coated, has an angle of incidence of ~57
degrees. In its standard orientation, the polarizer is highly transparent (>95%) to horizontal
while being highly reflective (>99%) too vertical. The contrast/extinction ratio is >1000:1.
Quarter-wave plate
The ¼ wave plate used introduces a quarter wave rotation to photons at 1064nm as they pass in
either direction through the plate. The plate has a clear aperture of 15mm and is mounted at a
beam height of 43mm.
Harmonic Generators
The RevLite™ Laser can generate laser light at the Nd:YAG fundamental wavelength (1,064nm)
or its second harmonic (532nm). This is achieved by passing the fundamental beam through a
Second Harmonic Generator (SHG) crystal. The crystal used is KD*P. The beam is delivered
by two 45o turning mirrors. The SHG assembly is heated even when the laser is off to maintain
temperature stability and maximum performance of the SHG crystal. The Crystal Heater PCB
controls the heating of the SHG.
Wavelength Separation
A set of dicroic mirrors isolates the 532nm beam and steers it to the articulated arm while the
remaining 1064nm light passes through and is safely sent to a beam dump.
Sliding Stage
The sliding stage contains a prism turning mirror and is electrically operated by pressing the
wavelength select button on the control panel. Selecting IR on the control panel will remove the
prism from the path of the beam allowing it to go directly into the stack mirror and into the
articulated arm. Selecting Green causes the stage to slide back allowing the beam to be steered
into the SHG producing 532nm light. Subsequently, the 532 light is reflected by two dicroic
mirrors into the stack mirror and be collinear with the IR light path.
Cooling System
The laser head, (flashlamp and laser rod) must be cooled by distilled, deionized water. It has a
dual heat exchanger for faster cooling. A DI Filter to trap any contamination. The resistivity of
the cooling water should not fall below 500 Kohms/cm. Do not mix any chemical products with
the distilled water.
Articulated Arm
Because of the pulse and energy characteristics of the RevLite® Laser, an articulated arm is used
to deliver the laser light to the patient. From time to time, contamination or misalignment may
cause the high peak power and short pulse duration to damage the mirrors. Mirror replacement
or cleaning may be necessary to achieve good beam quality as well as sufficient treatment power.
Since the arm is factory aligned, no field alignment is needed. However, improper installation of
the mirrors or damage to the arm (i.e. hitting a wall) will affect the alignment. The arm uses
seven 1-inch diameter mirrors which are coated to reflect both wavelengths at 45 degrees.

Wireless Footswitch
An optional wireless footswitch is available. The laser and the footswitch have a distinct code to
match each other.

saved in the EEPROM.
This data handled in the same manner as before, data is restored upon powered up, data is saved

There is a 100,000 write cycles to the FLASH device which the manufacture will guarantee. The
software has been optimize to reduce the amount of writes to the FLASH.

Section 6 Operating Sequences
Description of Events
Overview
The RevLite® Laser system provides laser energy for use in a variety of dermatological
procedures. The standard pulsed 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths and optional pulsed 650 nm
and 585 nm wavelengths are absorbed by pigment and other chromophores within the skin to
create the desired clinical effect.
The entire laser unit and controls are contained in a single console. Electrical power is supplied
to the console by the facility’s power source. Laser energy produced within the device is
delivered to the tissue by means of an articulated arm and the specially designed MultiSpot
Handpiece (532 nm and 1064 nm) or optional MultiLite™ Dye Laser Handpieces (650 nm and
585 nm). The user activates laser emission by means of a footswitch.

Section 7 Error Processing
This section describes how the RevLite® error detection system works. It also describes how the
cooling system affects the error processing system.
Errors are detected four different ways:
Power On Self-Test
Mode
State
During background processing.
(See Appendix B: Error Code Table on page 106 for a list of all error codes along with
descriptions, and remedial actions.)
Error Detection by Power ON Self-Test

When the laser is first powered ON, a self-check is performed on many of its systems. Refer to
the Power On→Standby section for a list, and the order, of items checked during Power On Self-
Test.
Error Detection by Mode

Many errors are checked at all times during an operating mode. For example, the remote
interlock connector is checked in all operation modes after Power On Self-Test (POST). The
articulated arm interlock connector is not checked during Power On mode and is checked during
all other modes.
Error Detection by State

Several errors are checked only during the specific states when they are appropriate. For
example, ±20% energy monitoring in all wavelengths is only checked during the READY state
when the footswitch is actually pressed down. At all other times, the error is not checked and
would have no meaning. Similarly, pyro detection errors are only detected when the cavity
shutter is OPEN since there is no light on the pyro at any other time.
Error Detection by Background Processing

Some errors occur during background processing. For example, during flashlamp flashing, if the
end of charge is not found when it is time to fire the flashlamp then an error is generated by the
background firing process. Pyro errors are checked during the background firing process,
however they are only checked when the cavity shutter is open.
Error Processing and the Cooling System

The Error Processing software distinguishes between two major types of errors: errors that
indicate a problem with cooling system and all other errors. If an error is a cooling system error
then the pump will be shut off. For all other errors, the cooling system will remain ON to avoid
thermal shock to the laser head during error recovery.

Error Tracking Log
In the Rabbit RCM 3400 an error tracking log is available through the command “ERRLOG”.
This will display the last 30 errors that have occurred within the laser.

Section 8 Installation&Service Procedures
IMPORTANT!
The Installation, Maintenance and Service Procedure section

is a guideline to help Conbio Service Trained Technicians
service the RevLite Laser system. This is not intended to
replace the Conbio Certified Training Course.
TIPS/TECHNIQUES and other Important Information

All “Bold Italic phrases” refer to written procedures found throughout this manual.
Always take Preliminary measurement and initial parameters before beginning any
repairs.
Latest software should always be installed. Not having the latest software could result in
erroneous errors.
Place photo paper in plastic bags before taking burns on the deck or near any optics.
Lock down all mounts as each stage is completed.
The operating Voltage must be at least 50 volts less than the Voltage at which free-running
occurs. This is known as the “Free-run buffer.”
Make your best effort to eliminate free-running and close the cavity at the highest voltage
possible.
Never Q-switch while free running because the Pockell’s Cell could be damaged.
Run Voltage is ~1150V.
“Hot Spots” in the beam mode are unacceptable. Sometimes it is necessary to change the
High Reflector to eliminate a “Hot Spot”.
To align with pinhole jigs while Q-switching, lower QDLY or Voltage~1050V.
RS232 Commands are located in the back of this document.
For Pinhole jig position refer to Doc. 656-0338
Never adjust the Output Coupler.
Never adjust the folding mirror.

Communicating with RevLite
The RevLite laser system uses a HyperTerminal program on a computer for communication.
Connect the computer to the RS232 communications port on the back of the laser using a straight
through cable.

Procedures for Cleaning and Replacing Laser Optics

The most common and most frequently performed maintenance on the RevLite® Laser may be
cleaning the optics. The laser head is protected by a dust cover, but the type of environment the
laser resides in will most likely determine how often the optics need to be cleaned or replaced.
Low output power may be because of dirty or damaged optics. Check regularly to determine if
cleaning or replacement is needed. Clean the optics as necessary. Pulsed air may be used to
remove dust. If contamination remains, then cleaning with a solvent will be necessary.
/ConBio uses Kodak lens tissue, Optical Grade Methanol, hemostats, and medical grade cotton
applicators to clean optics. Non-medical grade cotton applicators may contain particles that can
scratch optical coatings.
CAUTION: Use solvent sparingly when cleaning glued or mounted optics. Excessive
solvent may dissolve the glue and your cleaning action may drag residue over
the optical surface.
Use established methods for cleaning all optics. Contamination, streaks, or
improper cleaning may result in damaged to the optics when the laser is used.
Bench Optics Cleaning and Replacement

The bench optics should be cleaned in place to preserve the alignment. Take care to not put too
much pressure on the mount where the alignment may be affected.
Use a flashlight and a dental mirror to inspect the optics. The Pockell’s cell, Head, and SHG may
need to be removed from the bench to properly inspect.
To clean a mirror in the mount, fold a piece of lens paper into a rectangle and grip it with
hemostats. Apply one or two drops of Methanol to the tissue. Being careful not to touch the optic
with the hemostats, gently wipe the dirt from the optic. The same process can be done using
cotton applicators. Remember to only use the lens paper or cotton swab for one swipe only, then
discard and use another.
Articulated Arm Optics Cleaning and Replacement

The articulated arm has seven coated mirrors, which are mounted inside caps and attached to the
arm. The caps must be removed from the arm when the mirrors are to be cleaned or replaced.
The three mirrors closest to the handpiece (5, 6, and 7) require more frequent cleaning to
maintain good arm output power. If a mirror needs to be replaced, it can be easily removed by
heating the cap with a heat gun to soften the double-sided adhesive pad that holds the optic in
place. The double-sided adhesive pad only serves to keep the optic in place. There is a spring
type washer that must be placed behind the optic.
Cleaning an arm mirror or mirror that is removed from the system should be done with the drop
and drag method. Secure the optic so that it cannot move. Place a piece of lens tissue over the
optic and apply a drop or two of Methanol. Slowly drag the paper over the mirror so that the
methanol covers the mirror. Drag the tissue across the optic until it comes off. There should be
no residual Methanol on the optic.

ND Yag Rod Cleaning
To clean the rod, remove the head from the bench, fold a piece of lens paper into a rectangle and
grip it with hemostats. Apply one or two drops of Methanol to the tissue. Being careful not to
touch the rod with the hemostats, gently wipe the dirt from the rod. The same process can be
done using cotton applicators. Remember to only use the lens paper or cotton swab for one
swipe only, then discard and use another.
Handpiece Optics Cleaning

The Handpiece should be inspected frequently and cleaned only when necessary. The disposable
protective window should be cleaned after every patient and replaced when necessary.
Multispot Handpiece
To inspect and clean the multisport handpiece, unscrew the handpiece from the articulated arm.
Unscrew the protective window and the coupler from the barrel. Carefully inspect all optics in
the barrel, coupler and protective window and clean only if dirty. Apply one or two drops of
Methanol to lens tissue or cotton swab applicator being careful not to touch the optic with the
hemostats, gently wipe the dirt from the optics. Remember to only use the lens paper or cotton
swab for one swipe only, then discard and use another.

Eliminating Free-Run
A simple laser can be constructed using an active medium (ND:YAG in our case), an excitation
system (flash lamps), an Output Coupler or low reflective mirror, and a high reflector often
called H.R. or back mirror. Every time the lamps flash a laser beam would be emitted from the
O.C. This is called a free running laser.
Q-switching lasers give the user control of shots fired and mainly improve beam quality and
power. Our Q-switches consist of a Pockell’s cell, a dielectric polarizer set at Brewster’s angle,
and a ¼ wave plate. This Q-switch is inserted into a basic free running laser.
It is very important that the laser is not allowed to free run while the system is Q-switching. This
could cause damage to optics in the system. The buffer is defined as the voltage setting that
causes the lasing when the Q-switch is optimized and the Q-switch is inactive. Pump or Run
voltage is the normal operating voltage of the laser. The difference between the pump voltage
and the free run buffer should be no less than:

RevLite & C-6 C-3
50V 75V
When adjusting the pockell cell mount to eliminate free-running it is important not to adjust the
mount at a severe angle (see pictures below). If the mount is set at a severe angle then it will
appear that the freerunning was eliminated but in reality the laser is actually not allowing
emission from the O.C.
There are several methods that can be used to eliminate free-running. It is recommended to use
one or both of the two methods listed below to ensure no free-running is present during
Qswtiching:
• SHT NO QSWITCH
• Oscilloscope and fast photo diode
Required Tools:
o Power Meter
o Power Head
o Oscilloscope
o Fast Photo Diode
SHT NO QSWITCH
1. The articulated arm should be removed and the power head placed on the stack.
2. At the RevLite>prompt, enter PWD TECH↵ to turn off Pyro, Servo, and Monitor
3. Set laser to 1064nm at 10Hz.in single pulse.
4. Go to “Ready” mode
5. At the RevLite>prompt, enter SHT NO QSWITCH↵ (DO NOT STEP ON
FOOTSWITCH)
6. At the RevLite>prompt, enter VOLTS ####↵ Increasing voltage in 50V increments
eliminating free-run at each voltage increase until reaching 1350V or highest possible
voltage. If buffer voltage is not satisfied check pockell cell and/or ¼ waveplate and/or
polarizer
7. If maximum voltage has been reached and no energy is seen on the power meter, stop there is
no free-running. If energy is being measured follow remaining steps
8. Using a 2.5mm Allen wrench, unlock the 4 lockdown screws on the Pockell’s Cell mount.
(See photos below.).
9. Using a 2.5mm Allen Key adjust the vertical and or horizontal adjustment screw to minimize
the energy.
10. If maximum voltage has been reached and no energy is seen on the power meter, stop, there
is no free-running. Lock down the 4 lockdown screws on the Pockell’s cells (during lock
down ensure free-running does not recur). If energy is being measured see note 2 below.
11. Return the laser to pump voltage; see chart above for required buffer range.

12. Recheck your oscillator alignment.
Oscilloscope and Fast Photo Diode

1. Remove articulated arm, top cover and dust cover
2. Place power head on the stack.
3. At the RevLite>prompt, enter PWD TECH↵ to turn off Pyro, Servo, and Monitor
4. Set laser to 1064nm at 10Hz.in single pulse.
5. Place fast photo-diode on top of deck pointing towards shutter assembly (about 30cm from
shutter assembly)
6. Set Oscilloscope to find flashlamp trace (see photos below).
7. Check the trace on the oscilloscope for free-run (see photos below).
8. If free-run is present using a 2.5mm Allen wrench, unlock the 4 lockdown screws on the
Pockell’s Cell mount. (See photos below).
9. Using a 2.5mm Allen Key, adjust the vertical and/or horizontal adjustment screw to eliminate
free-run
10. At the RevLite>prompt, enter VOLTS ####↵ Increasing voltage in 50V increments
eliminating free-run at each voltage increase until reaching 1350V or highest possible
voltage. If buffer voltage is not satisfied check pockell cell and/or ¼ waveplate and/or
polarizer.
11. Once free-run has been eliminated lock down the 4 lockdown screws on the Pockell’s cells
(during lock down ensure free-running does not recur). Return the laser to pump voltage; see
chart above for required buffer range.
12. Recheck your oscillator alignment.

In cavity - no free-run

In cavity – free-running
In cavity – free-running while

Qswitching
Note 1: Make sure that the Pockell’s cell is not set at an extreme angle. It may stop the free
running but the oscillator will no longer be aligned and the laser will not Q-switch.
Note 2: If unable to achieve the required Buffer adjust the 1/4waveplate to eliminate Free-
running.
Note 3: The polarizer can also be adjusted, but can cause serious damage to the head if not done
correctly. Make very fine adjustments and then repeat the steps above to close free-running.
Flashlamp Voltage Adjustment Procedure
Eventually the efficiency of the lamps will decline and it may be possible to compensate for the
decline by increasing the pump voltage. Pump voltage should never be increased by more than
50V above the original run voltage found in the QA report. Common errors or problems
associated with worn flashlamps are error 22, unstable energy, unable to eliminate free-running
or low energy in 1064nm and/or 532nm. If intermittent error 22 occurs at initial run voltage

increasing the voltage will only escalate the occurrence of error 22’s. Raising the voltage will
not eliminate error 22 and it is recommenced that the flashlamps be changed, but understand that
all error 22’s may not be a flashlamp failure. . Due to thermal loading raising the voltage may
adversely affect the beam quality and may not increase energy.
Required Equipment
Power meter and head
Orange card
Burn paper
Laptop computer
Laser safety glasses
1. Before increasing the pump voltage to bring the laser output power back to factory
specifications make sure that the low power is not due to cavity misalignment, optical
damage, contamination or electrical. See flowchart for Low Energy 1064nm and 532nm
2. Position the power meter on the stack to measure power.
3. Increase the pump voltage by 5 or 20 volts at a time
4. Measure output power.
5. If power is still below specification repeat steps 2 through 4.
6. Note: If the total voltage increase exceeds 50 volts above the original run voltage found in
the QA report, then the flashlamps should be changed or their may be another undetected
problem.
Note: Error 22 and unstable energies is also a common indicator of flashlamp failure
7. Check the free-running buffer. It needs to be at least 50 volts above the run voltage. See the
procedure on Eliminating Free-run.
8. If the power is back to factory specification, record the new values for future reference.
Flashlamp Replacement Procedure

The flashlamp lifetime is on the order of millions of shots.
Required Equipment
New flashlamps
O’ring kit
2.5mm Allen wrench
Lens tissue
Cotton swabs
Small amount of distilled water
Glasses
Methanol
1. Turn off the main breaker and unplug the power cord from the wall.
2. Remove the articulated arm.
3. Remove the top cover and inner dust cover.

4. Release the laser head from the deck by rotating the thumb wheel screw located beneath the
head clockwise
5. Disconnect the two leads that run to the thermal temperature sensor mounted on the laser
head. Use your fingers to gently pull the lamp connectors leads from the lamp electrodes.
Pull only the connectors, not the wires.
6. Remove the laser head from the optics bench being careful not to drip water on other optics.
Any excessive water should be drained from the laser head assembly.
7. Place the laser head on a solid, flat work area.
8. Use a 2.5mm Allen wrench to remove the screws holding the white plastic lamp retainers at
each end of the laser head.
9. With a cotton swab wet each end of the exposed flashlamp electrodes with DI water, and
then using a gentle twisting motion, remove the lamp retainers. Be careful not to lose the O-
rings or Teflon backing rings.
10. Pull firmly on either electrode while pushing on the other to remove the flashlamps.
11. Replace o’rings on rod. (BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE THE ORIENTATION OF
THE ROD. ALWAYS KEEP HEAD LAYING FLAT.
12. Do not touch the glass of the new lamp; handle the new lamp by the electrode ends only.
Inspect the glass and clean with methanol if necessary.
13. Note the anode/cathode orientation of the new lamp and insert the lamp into the head
according to "+" and "-" stickers on the head. Slide the new lamp into the laser head with the
red marked electrode of the lamp to the anode end (+) and install the Teflon backing ring
then the black O-ring over the ends of the lamp electrodes.
14. Press the lamp O-rings flush to the laser head end plates before installing the lamp retainers.
15. Wet the exposed electrodes and then replace the lamp retainers. Use a gentle pushing
twisting motion.
16. Once the lamp retainers have been slipped over the electrodes, check to make sure the lamp
is centered in the head. Then bolt the lamp retainers in place. Tighten screws for a snug fit.
DO NOT over tighten.
17. Reattach the lamp connectors at each end. Make sure the electrodes are dry before sliding
the connectors over the ends.
18. Place the laser head on the base plate and secure with the thumb wheel screw
counterclockwise. The laser head should mate firmly against the cooling water O-rings of
the base plate. Ensure that after re-installing the laser head it is secure and does not move.
19. Reattach the two leads for the thermal temperature sensor.
20. Check for water leaks by running the laser without the power meter head on the stack and
incurring and error 51. Fix any leaks and re-test until no leaks are present.
Required: If lamp voltage on the laser was previously raised to compensate for aging, the
voltage should now be lowered to its original value. Laser should flash for at least 30 to 60
minutes before setting run voltage due to burn in of flashlamps. Check output power from the
laser and adjust voltage as necessary. The lowest voltage possible to meet specification power
should be used to get maximum life from the flashlamps.

Optimizing SHG Procedure
Important: Oscillator and deck alignment must be completed before beginning 532nm
optimization.
1. Set laser to 532nm and 10Hz.
4. Measure energy at stack while Q-switching and adjust side (horizontal) adjustment knob for
maximum energy.
5. If needed, adjust ¼ wave plate on SHG for maximum energy
6. If needed, adjust ¼ wave plate between sliding stage and 2nd IR turning mirror for maximum
energy.
7. If needed, adjust ½ waveplate between the 2 dicroics for maximum energy (if adjusting ½
waveplate see Error finding AD value for 532nm). The ½ waveplate between the 2 dicroics is
no longer be added to the current systems and can be removed from any RevLite system
making it unnecessary to do the following procedure.
8. Recheck side (horizontal) adjustment knob for maximum energy.
9. If specification energy is not achieved see flowchart for low energy in 532nm.
SHG Replacement Procedure

Important: Optimize 1064nm oscillator and deck alignment before beginning SHG replacement
procedure.
SHG alignment can begin at different steps of the procedure depending how far the beam is out
of alignment. Use your best judgment to determine the best step to begin the SHG replacement
procedure.
WARNING: All alignment through the SHG crystal should be done at low voltage to
prevent damage to the SHG crystal.

2. Set voltage to approximately 800-900 Volts
3. Remove SHG
4. Remove 1st Dicroic.
5. Remove beam dump behind 1st Dicroic.
6. Place jigs in pinhole position 5 and 6.
7. Align sliding stage to pinhole position 5 and 2nd IR mirror to pinhole position 6. Use the
Near Field-Far Field method.
8. Remove Jigs when aligned.
9. Adjust the SHG mount faceplate so that the vertical side is 4mm and the horizontal side
measures 3mm. (see photos below).

10. Place SHG in position with deck screws in but not tightened.
11. Place orange card after SHG.
12. Push the SHG mount back. While Q-switching align SHG by sliding the mount side to side.
HOLD BY THE MOUNT NOT THE SHG BARREL.
13. Once aligned tighten screws.
14. Take a front burn shot close to the output of the SHG. (burn paper needs to be in a plastic
bag). Make sure the beam is not clipping as this will result in burning the crystal when the
voltage is increased at a later step. If the beam is clipping repeat from step 1.
15. Place 1st Dicroic in position and install deck screws loosely.
16. Place jig in pinhole position 7.
17. Remove Stack assembly.
20. Complete a Near Field-Far Field with the 1st and 2nd dicroic’s until the beam is centered on

mount guide.
23. Place power meter on stack.
24. Increase Voltage to run voltage.
25. Measure energy at stack while Q-switching and adjust side (horizontal) adjustment knob for
maximum energy.
26. Adjust ¼ wave plate on SHG for maximum energy
27. Adjust ¼ wave plate between sliding stage and 2nd IR turning mirror for maximum energy
28. If needed, adjust ½ waveplate between the 2 dicroics for maximum energy. (if adjusting ½
waveplate see Error finding AD value for 532nm). The ½ waveplate between the 2 dicroics is
no longer be added to the current systems and can be removed from any RevLite system
making it unnecessary to do the following procedure.
29. Re-adjust side (horizontal) adjustment knob for maximum energy.
30. Check for hot spots.
31. If specification energy is not achieved see flowchart for low energy in 532nm.

Note: The SHG mount can be built with either a short pin or a long pin inside the
horizontal adjust screw. It may be necessary to change the pin on the SHG mount to
a different size pin to achieve maximum energy.
Note: If replacing SHG windows never touch or clean the SHG crystal or leave it
exposed to air.

Error Finding AD Value in 532nm
The ½ waveplate between the 2 dicroics is no longer be added to the current systems and can be
removed from any RevLite system making it unnecessary to do the following procedure.
When calibrating in 532nm, POT 1 may not be able to reach 212AD and times out indicating
that if could not reach the desired AD value. If this occurs then it may be necessary to adjust the
½ waveplate between the 2 dicroics in order to pick-off more energy onto the pyro.
1. Allow laser to go through all warm-ups

4. At the RevLite>prompt, enter TEST 1↵
IMPORTANT!!! The next 2 steps need to be done very quickly
5. At the RevLite>prompt, enter POT 1↵
6. Adjust 1/2 waveplate located between the 2 dicroics while observing the AD value on the
computer screen until it reaches approximately 175AD. It will not take very much of an
adjustment to make the AD value rise. After adjustment wait for POT 1 to finish.
7. Measure energy at stack, the measured energy should be no more than a 2 or 3mJ loss. If the
energy loss is not more than 2 or 3mJ, than retest POT 1 to insure it will calibrate. Then
continue to calibration procedure. If the energy loss is more than 2 or 3 mJ, then the 1/2
waveplate was adjusted too much and will need to be peaked for maximum energy and all
above steps repeated.
Caution: If the ½ waveplate is rotated to dump too much energy onto the PYRO it is
possible to burn out the Pyro.
Arm Alignment Procedure

Aiming Beam Adjustment

Before beginning aiming beam alignment the 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths should be
properly aligned out the articulated arm.
The aiming beam is located on mirror cap number 7 on the articulated arm. That arm mirror
must be a 105-0117 (1” Double Peak mirror), the remaining arm mirrors must be 105-9050 ( 1”
Triple Peak mirrors).
The aiming beam can be turned on and off at the Main Screen. The aiming beam’s intensity can
be adjusted from the Options Screen.
To begin alignment the handpiece and cone should be attached to the articulated arm and set to
the smallest spot size. Set the laser to 532nm, 1Hz and lowest fluence (QDLY MIN). Attach a
piece of burn paper to the end of the cone so that the back side is facing the beam. Turn on the
aiming beam. Take 1 shot of 532nm on the burn paper. If aiming beam is not aligned properly
on the burn pattern, then remove the cap on the aiming beam assembly. Using a .035 allen key
adjust the 2 adjustment screws to align the aiming beam to the center of the burn. Test again in
all quadrants to ensure proper beam alignment.
Note: If aimlite housing is loose, tighten the outside screws on the aimlite assembly.

Turn off Flash

This is a feature that must be set by the service engineer when the system is installed. It is
normally turned off. If you choose to turn this feature on, the system will monitor the use of the
system and if it sets idle for 10 minutes in Standby, the system will change to the Off Mode and
turn the flashlamps off. This will extend the life of the flashlamps as they will not be flashing if
you are not using the system.
If the system goes to the OFF mode, you will be instructed to “Turn Key Off”, to turn the key
switch OFF then On to turn the system back on. If the system has been in the OFF mode for
more than 15 minutes, the system will go through a 2 minute warm up when you restart the

system. If it has been OFF for less than 15 minutes, it will proceed to the Standby Mode quickly
with no warm up delay.

Section 9 RevLite Plus Enhanced Features
This addendum is for lasers with a Serial Number of RL2000 and greater or a RevLite that has
been upgraded. It will describe the new features and service/maintenance procedures for the new
features.
New Features in the RevLite Plus Include

Fast Active Servo
Auto Peaking SHG
High Repetition Rate Dye Cells
Key Points
Aiming beam can only be turned on in “Ready” mode.
Never adjust the gear on the SHG unless it is in “Service Mode
New Messages
The RevLite SI has several new messages that are displayed for the customer.
Peak 532 – System in peaking mode
Order 585 HP – 585nm shots exceeded
Order 650 HP – 650nm shot exceeded
Low 532 energy – energy low by more than 90%. Also displayed on power up if
peaking previously failed.
OK 532 – Auto peak success (Energy was greater than 90%)
Invalid-Release Footsw – remove foot from footswitch
Fast/Active Servo:
This feature requires no action.
This feature improves the response time of the energy control system to reduce the wait time
when changes are made to the operating parameters of the system. But the most significant
enhancement of this feature is the servo is now being done by the smartboard and is active
during treatment. What this means is when the servo is active it is continuously tracking the
target AD value and making adjustments to the Q-delay to maintain the energy level that was
requested. This will provide for a more consistent energy delivery thus reducing incidents of +/-
20% errors.
When the laser is in user mode and monitoring “TEST 1” the first column is not displaying the
correct Q-Delay. To obtain the correct Q-delay you must enter QDLY↵ and it will update the
Q-delay in column 1, but understand that the Q-delay is constantly changing to maintain the
requested energy level when firing the laser, so to see the current Q-delay you must always enter
QDLY↵.

Auto 532 Peaking
Software for peaking the 532nm is controlled by the Smart board. When engaged the motor is
driven by the Smartboard and monitors the A/D value to find the peak energy. The search for
peak energies starts by scanning back and forth for the peak energy close to where the SHG is
currently positioned. The software stores the largest A/D value and continues to search, until the
largest A/D value is found or if value is good.
In Tech Mode this feature is disabled allowing the technician to activate the button at any time.
Although this feature is disabled in Tech mode (PWD TECH) the system should be warmed up
and thermally stable before the “Peak 532” is performed.
In User Mode this feature will allow the user to automatically adjust the crystal to peak the
532nm. On the Option Screen, the “Peak 532” button will be inactive in user mode until the 30
minute warm up is completed. The system has an internal timer that assures the system has been
flashing for 30 minutes before it will allow the “Peak 532” to be performed. When the button is
pressed and activated the screen switches to the Main Screen and displays a timer for peaking.
The peaking process can take up to 90 seconds to complete. Once the process has begun, the
system must be allowed to complete the peaking process, it can not be terminated. If the peak is
found before time expires the timer count disappears and the system is ready for use but if the
timer expires an error message is displayed indicating a peak failed.
If the peaking process is successful, but the conversion efficiency is lower than what the system
expects, it will post a message advising service is needed. The user will be able to continue to
use the 532 nm but may not be able to achieve the high fluence levels.
If the peaking process is not successful, the system will post an Error 16, indicating service is
needed, which means that there is something wrong with the 532nm conversion system. At this
point the 532 nm functions cannot be used because the crystal is significantly out of alignment
and will not work correctly.
Optimizing Auto Peaking SHG Procedure
WARNING: If switch is not set to “service mode” and gear is manually adjusted damaged
to the gear and/or smartboard is HIGHLY possible
Important: Oscillator and Deck Alignment must be completed before beginning 532nm

VariSpot™ Handpiece
The adjustable VariSpot™ Handpiece connects to the Handpiece Adaptor at the end of the
articulated arm on the RevLite SI Laser System. It is designed to provide a range of focused
treatment spot sizes, in 0.1 mm increments, that are specific to the RevLite SI Laser wavelengths.
The optics that adjust the laser beam to the appropriate spot size are contained in the VariSpot™
Handpiece barrel. The barrel has a rotatable collar for spot size selection. One end inserts into
the Handpiece Adaptor. The other end attaches to a containment cone.
VariSpot™Spot Sizes for 1064 nm and 532 nm Wavelengths

Wavelength Spot Sizes
1064nm 1.9 – 8.1 mm 0.1 mm increments
532nm .9 – 6.1 mm 0.1 mm increments
VariSpot™ Handpiece Components

VariSpot™ Handpiece Adjustment Sleeve or Barrel Optical Assembly
VariSpot™ Handpiece Protective Window
Metal Extension Cone and Focal Guide Tip
Clear Plastic Containment Cones
CAUTION! Do not soak or steam sterilize the VariSpot Handpiece Barrel. Doing so will
damage the internal optics!
CAUTION! Do not expose the VariSpot Handpiece Barrel to strong magnetic fields as this
can disrupt its ability to accurately report spot sizes.

532Lite VariSpot™ Handpiece
The 532Lite VariSpot Handpiece is intended to be used for the treatment of small pigmented
lesions when the user wants to treat the lesions with a lower fluence, than is possible with the
VariSpot Handpiece. The 532Lite VariSpot Handpiece reduces the fluence delivered by 50% so
the fluence range possible with a 1-3 mm spot size range is .35 to 1.2 J/cm2. The maximum limit
is controlled by the system to avoid damage to the optical attenuator in the handpiece.
When the 532Lite VariSpot Handpiece is connected to the HPA, the system recognizes the
handpiece type and sets the wavelength selection to 532 nm and does not allow 1064 to be
selected. The user interface will display the actual fluence being delivered to the patient.
Care should be taken when adjusting the spot size as the fluence changes very quickly as the spot
size changes by .1 mm. Change the spot size slowly and the system will display the fluence as
the spot size changes.

38. Perform a Pre-Calibration Procedure and Calibration Procedure

Aiming Beam Installation and Alignment
Aiming beam installation and alignment can begin at different steps of the procedure depending
how far the beam is out of alignment. Use your best judgment to determine the best step to begin
the aiming beam alignment procedure. So it is important to read the complete procedure
thoroughly before beginning aiming beam alignment.
Preparation
1. Remove adjusting screw from Iris (P/N 659-0778).
2. Place 10mm long 1/16th inch diameter heat shrink tubing on the adjustment screw.
3. Install the adjustment screw with Loctite MS222. Make sure the adjustment screw is movable
but not sloppy.
4. Attach filter (P/N 117-0096) to the back of the Iris (659-0778) with hypo tube cement.
5. Install collimated fiber assembly in diode mount (P/N 659-0757)
6. Install the band pass filter assembly (P/N 659-0760) on the diode mount at right angle to
input.
7. Install second mirror mount assembly MM12 (P/N 105-9056 and 659-0766)
8. Install collimator lens assembly (P/N 101-9027 and 659-0764)
Deck Alignment
1. Adjust output power on aiming beam diode to maximum. (Go option screen and adjust
aiming beam power)
2. Align aiming beam with near Diode mount and Far MM12 to the near and far pinhole jigs
on deck.
3. Install Assy Mirror Mount 45 (P/N 659-0783). Tighten the two mounting screws, loosen the
screws enough so tat the Mirror Mount will rotate during adjustment.
4. Install the Jig Alignment Aiming Beam (JAAB) (P/N 998-9140) on top of the tower. Make
sure JAAB is installed so the orientation matches that of the Stack Mirror (P/N 659-0765).
5. Align Mirror Mount 45 to the center of JAAB by rotating left/right.
6. Place shipping articulated arm on top of JAAB. If you see the aiming beam out of the arm,
go to step 10. If not, remove first arm knuckle. Place masking tape at first knuckle location.
7. Align Mirror Mount 45 to the center of the first knuckle in the arm by rotating left/right.
8. If aiming beam can not be centered because it is too high or low, go back to step 2. If aiming
beam still can not be centered, replace Assy Mirror Mount 45.
9. Re-attach the first arm mirror. Place tape over the output end of the arm to see aiming beam.
10. Make fine adjustment to Assy Mirror Mount 45 to center the aiming beam out of the arm.
11. Remove the arm and JAAB.
12. Tighten the two mounting screws evenly to lock down Mirror Mount 45.
13. Install JAAB and the arm again. Make sure aiming beam is still reasonably center of the
arm. If alignment moved, go back to step 10 and carefully tighten the two mounting screws.
14. Remove the arm and JAAB.
15. Install Stack Mirror Mount. Tighten tower mount screws and arm mount screw.

16. If necessary, make fine adjustment with MM12 only to center the aiming beam at the out of
the arm.
Final Alignment after Deck Alignment is completed. This is to collimate the aiming beam
and 532nm laser beam
1. Tape Kodak Burn Paper front surface towards outside at the out end of the arm.
2. Lift roasting pan to gain access to second mirror mount.
3. Set the arm safe and comfortable to see the taped Kodak paper. The arm can not be moved
until complete the following steps.
4. Single shot 532nm maximum power and shoot the beam. (Do not move the arm)
5. Make fine adjustment to Assy Mirror Mount 45 to collimate the aiming beam and the 532nm
burn pattern out of the arm. Make sure the arm did not move during this alignment.) If the
arm is moved, go back to step 3.
6. Install Assy Iris and close it to about 1mm aperture size. Loosen the screws enough so that
the Iris will move during adjustment.
7. If the arm is moved during installation of the Iris, remove old burn paper and tape new
Kodak Burn Paper front surface towards outside at the out end of the arm again.
8. Single shot 532nm maximum power and shoot the beam. (Do not move the arm)
9. Align Iris to the center of the burn pattern out end of the arm by moving Iris mount left/right
and up/down. (Do not move the arm)
10. Tighten the two mounting screws for the Iris and make sure the aiming beam is still center of
the burn pattern. (Do not move the arm)
11. Open the Iris until the aiming beam size match to the 532nm burn pattern. The opening of
the Iris should be about 6mm. (Do not move the arm).
Verification of the alignment
Set 532nm Single shot at 2mm spot with minimum fluence. Shoot the beam with aiming beam to
burn paper and make sure the both beams are collimated at every quadrant.
