Laser Classification IV of up to and > 100kW at 900-1200nm
Laser Classification IV of up to and > 2W at 500-600nm (optional 532nm Guide)
This device is classified as a high power Class IV laser instrument under 21 CFR 1040.10.
This product emits visible and/or invisible laser radiation at, or around a wavelength of
(900-1200nm invisible) and (532-680nm for red and/or green visible). The total light energy
radiated from the optical output is greater than the nominal power of device model per
optical output port. This level of light may cause severe damage to the eye and/or skin.
Despite the radiation being invisible, the beam may cause irreversible damage to the retina
and/or cornea. Due to these risks a qualified laser safety representative should be present
to ensure a safe working environment. Laser safety eyewear must be worn at all times
while the laser is operational.
WARNING:
Use appropriate laser safety eyewear when operating this device. The selection of
appropriate laser safety eyewear requires the end user to accurately identify the
range of wavelengths emitted from this product. If the device is a tunable laser or
Raman product, it emits light over a range of wavelengths and the end user should
confirm the laser safety eyewear used protects against light emitted by the device
over its entire range of wavelengths. IMPORTANT: Please review the safety labeling
on the product and verify that the personal protective equipment (e.g. enclosures,
viewing windows or viewports, eyewear, etc.) being utilized is adequate for the
output power and wavelength ranges listed on the product.
There are several laser safety equipment suppliers that offer materials or equipment. Some of them
include LaserVision USA, Kentek Corporation and Rockwell Laser Industries. There are other laser
personal protective equipment providers. IPG provides the names of these providers solely as a
convenience and does not endorse or recommend any of them, or their products or services. IPG
assumes no liability for their recommendations, products or services.

General Safety Instructions
WARNING:
Exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections because reflections at the

laser’s wavelength are invisible.
There are often numerous secondary beams present at various angles near the laser.
These beams are specular reflections of the main beam from various surfaces. Although
these secondary beams may be less powerful than the total power emitted from the laser,
the intensity may be great enough to cause damage to the eyes and skin as well as
materials surrounding the laser.
The laser light is strong enough to burn skin, clothing and paint. Further, laser light can
ignite volatile substances such as alcohol, gasoline, ether and other solvents. The laser is
capable of cutting and welding metal. Exposure to solvents or other flammable materials
and gases must be avoided and considered when installing and using this device.
Light-sensitive elements in equipment, such as video cameras, photomultipliers and

photodiodes may also be damaged from exposure to the laser light.
We also recommend that you follow these procedures to operate the IPG laser safely:
• Never look directly into the laser output port when the power is on.
• Set up the laser and all optical components used with the laser away from eye level.
• Provide enclosures for laser beam.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all personal protective equipment (PPE) is suitable for the
output power and wavelength range listed on the laser safety labels that are affixed to the
product.
• Use the laser in a room with access controlled by door interlocks. Post warning
signs. Limit access to the area to individuals who are trained in laser safety while
operating the laser.
• Avoid using the laser in a darkened environment.
• Do not enable the laser without a coupling fiber or equivalent attached to the optical
output connector.
• Always switch the laser off when working with the output such as mounting the fiber
or collimator into a fixture, etc. If necessary, align the output at low output power and
then increase the output power gradually.
- 23 -
IMPORTANT: Do not install or terminate fibers or collimators when laser is active.
IMPORTANT: If this instrument is used in a manner not specified in this document, the
protection provided by the instrument may be impaired and the warranty will be voided.
CAUTION:
If the output of the device is delivered through a lens with an anti-reflection coating
make sure that the lens is of good quality and clean. Please refer to the instructions
described in the Fiber Connector Installation section.
Any debris on the end of the collimator assembly can burn the lens and damage the laser.
Check the quality of the spot emitted from the laser output at low power levels using an
infrared viewer and then gradually increase the output power.
CAUTION:
Hot or molten pieces of metal may be present when using this laser. Exercise
caution if debris is being generated in your application.

Electrical Safety
WARNING:
The input voltage to the laser is potentially lethal. All electrical cables and
connections should be treated as if it were a harmful level. All parts of the electrical
cable, connector or device housing should be considered dangerous. Make sure
this instrument is properly grounded through the protective conductor of the AC
power cable. Any interruption of the protective grounding conductor from the
protective earth terminal can result in personal injury.
Always use your device in conjunction with properly grounded power source.
For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuses (if applicable) with only
the same types and ratings. The use of other fuses or material is prohibited. Consult the
supplied schematics for appropriate fuse size. If unsure contact the IPG Customer Service
department.
Before supplying the power to the instrument, make sure that the correct voltage of the AC
power source is used. Failure to use the correct voltage could cause damage to the
instrument.
Before switching the power on make sure that line voltage corresponds to the specified
level.
There are no operator serviceable parts inside. Other than the fuses listed inside the
electrical access panel and resetting of circuit breakers inside the system, do not attempt
replacement of any parts. Refer all servicing to qualified IPG personnel. To prevent
electrical shock, do not remove covers. Any tampering with the product may void the

Environmental Safety
WARNING:
NEVER look directly into a live fiber or collimator and wear the required appropriate
laser safety eyewear at all times while operating the product.
Proper enclosures should be used to secure a laser safe work area. This includes but is
not limited to laser safety signs, interlocks, appropriate warning devices and training/safety
procedures. Also, it is important to install the output assembly away from eye level.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all personal protective equipment (PPE) is suitable for the
output power and wavelength range listed on the laser safety labels that are affixed to the
product.
The interaction between the laser and the material being processes can also generate
high intensity UV and visible radiation. Ensure that laser enclosures are in place to prevent
eye damage from both visible and invisible radiation.
CAUTION:
Damage to the laser is possible, unless caution is employed in operating the device.
IPG provides the following recommendations to promote the long life of the IPG laser:
• Do not expose the device to a high moisture environment.
• The device may have fans for active cooling. Make sure there is sufficient airflow to
cool the device, any objects or debris that cover the ventilation holes must be
removed at all times.
• Operation at higher temperatures will accelerate aging, increase threshold current

and lower slope efficiency. If the device is overheated, stop operations and contact
the IPG Customer Service department.
• Ensure that the work surface is properly vented. The gases, sparks and debris that
can be generated from interaction between the laser and the work surface can pose
additional safety hazards.
• If any functionality is not understood or in question immediately contact the IPG

Customer Service department.
• Any time a process or feeding fiber is exposed to the environment inspect it for
cleanliness. Clean if necessary according to the IPG High Power Fiber section.

47 -
Water Connection
The power should always be connected to chiller and main disconnect should always be in
ON position if chiller is installed outdoors. This will provide power for the internal heating
and prevent the water from being too cold or even freezing. Internal temperature is set to
20-25 °C.
Check that rotation direction of water pump is correct otherwise change any of two phases.
Direction is usually indicated on the pump housing.
When the chiller main disconnect is turned on coolant will be heated-up or cooled down to
reach preset temperature range. Open all valves so that the water can be moved through
the pipes. The On/Off Switch (0 or 1) is not working until temperature is in the specified
range and the chiller ready signal is not active although chiller is working.
IMPORTANT: After the installation, chiller settings should not be changed.
The temperature for the laser cooling circuit should be between 20 and 25 °C for optimal
operation. Never change the settings of the internal heating. It has to be 18°C.
The chiller will report its readiness through Harting Han 15 D connector. If that connection
is not made and/or chiller has not settled to the right temperature, and correct DI water
conductivity, it will not be possible to start laser emission.
IMPORTANT: Any time water is installed onto a laser system ensure that no water
leaks are detected. As soon as water pressure is started on a fully plumbed system
open all doors with laser in a safe no emission state, and check for any water
leakage before continuing. If any leak is detected contact the IPG Customer Service
department.
See Cooling Requirements section for appropriate flow rates.
48 -
WARNING:
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury

or damage to the device.
For optimum operation of the IPG laser power sources, the process chillers or process
cooling water supplied by the customer should be set to 25°C. This ensures that the
diodes are generating at the proper wavelength of infrared light for efficient pumping of the
active fibers.
If the relative humidity is high enough in the laser room (or plant), then the moisture in the
air can condense on cool parts within the laser, such as water lines, optics, flow tubes, etc.
This can potentially cause serious damage to internal components. Allowing power to
remain on the laser system even in the key off position will allow the air conditioning unit, if
equipped to remove excess moisture.
A psychrometric chart can be used to calculate the dew point (temperature at which
moisture will precipitate or condense out of ambient air) given a dry bulb (regular
thermometer) temperature and relative humidity reading.
If the dew point is below 68°F (20°C), then there is little risk of condensation within the
laser. Proceed with normal operation of your laser.
If the dew point is above 68°F (20°C), then there is considerable risk for condensation
within the lasers. Take one or more of the following actions:
i. Check the de-humidifiers in the rooms and drain as necessary.

ii. Check the A/C units for proper operation (are they actually cooling?) May
need to replace or add extra A/C units. Note: A/C units can lose up to 10% of
their cooling efficiency each year.
iii. Ensure the doors are sealed properly to keep the humid air out.
iv. Clean the heat exchange vents on the outside of the A/C units.
v. Increase coolant temperature above dew point.
IMPORTANT: IPG Photonics authorization is required if cooling water

temperature needs to be adjusted above 35°C. Contact the IPG Customer
Service department.

Fiber Connector Installation
IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the fiber connector is checked for dust, dirt, or damage
every time it is connected to any optical device, before use. The use of a dirty or damaged
fiber connector can result in serious injury and/or laser damage. IPG is not responsible for
any damage due to contaminated connectors. It is good practice and strongly
recommended that the connector have clean air passed over the end face right before
installation into optical component to ensure any dust or contaminants are removed.
With all connectors use a clean air source to pass air across the connector end face to
remove any contaminates before installation
IMPORTANT: When inserting any connector into any assembly, be careful not to touch
the connector optical surface to anything. Touching metal surfaces or mishandling of
optical connector can cause severe damage to fibers and/or laser components.
Note: The removal of connectors is performed by reversing the order of installation of

connectors as seen in this section
Please contact our IPG Photonics Customer Service Department with any questions or
concerns you may have.

Fiber Connector Cleaning
IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the fiber connector is checked for dust, dirt, or damage
every time it is connected to any optical device, before use. The use of a dirty or damaged
fiber connector can result in serious injury and/or laser damage. IPG is not responsible for
any damage due to contaminated connectors.
For cleaning a fiber connector, you need the following materials:

- Powder free rubber gloves
- Lint free optical cleaning wipes and/or swabs
- Optical cleaner
- Compressed air (oil free, water free)
- Microscope (IPG model or equivalent)
- Light Source
Part Number P30-001465 Microscope Kit IPGP
75 -
Steps for cleaning a high power fiber connector
It is imperative that you wear powder free rubber gloves during this cleaning
procedure!
1.Switch off the laser’s main power. Disconnect laser from VAC power source.
2. Leave protective cap on and clean the fiber connector exterior with optical
cleaner, wipe it with a clean optical wipe and dry with compressed air.
3. Place fiber connector in the holder of the microscope. Place pressure on the
center of the securing arm and then tighten the locking screw.
4. Remove the protective cap and metal collar from connector.
IMPORTANT: Place the cap face down on a clean surface. Placing the cap face
down on a lint free wipe is the best choice if the surfaces are questionable.
Example of both styles of IPG protective caps
5. Focus the microscope onto the connector surface.
76 -
6. Use a light source to illuminate the face of the fiber connector so that the light is
reflected off the surface of the end face. This is achieved if you see a bright
golden shine from the IPG (yellow) connector end face.
IMPORTANT: Always look at the surface at a slight angle to improve visibility.
7. Inspect the end face surface carefully. If contamination is visible on the end face,
cleaning is necessary. Contamination will lead to dark spots/burns on the surface
and possibly damage to the fiber and/or laser.
77 -
8. Try to blow away the dust with compressed air from the side.
IMPORTANT! Never blow air directly at the surface because you could imbed
contaminants into the surface. Always blow across the surface!
9. While wearing powder free gloves, fold the lint free optical wipe into halves until it
is roughly 1 X 1 ½” rectangle. Put a few drops of optical cleaner onto the lint free
optical cleaning wipe on the folded edge of the wipe, as indicated.
10.While applying a small amount of pressure evenly to both sides of the wipe swipe
the end face with a smooth and constant motion and pressure. At the very end of
the swipe apply less pressure and start to lift off the end face allowing for any
debris moved across the end face to lift off with the wipe.
78 -
Start to clean with even pressure Continue down the end face
Finish by applying slightly less pressure and lifting away from the end face
11.Repeat from step 9 if end face is still contaminated.
79 -
Do not ever reuse a lint free optical wipe or swab to clean the end face.
12.If necessary, you could put a drop of optical cleaner onto a cleaning swab and
wipe away contamination in a circular motion. Then repeat from step 9.
13.You should repeat these cleaning steps until all contamination is removed. This
cleaning procedure can be stopped at any time if a good result has already been
achieved. After fiber connector is clean use compressed air to clean the cap and
reinstall cap onto connector to protect the cleaned surface.
CAUTION: It is hereby stated that damage to the fiber connector can

occur due to mishandling, the use of incorrect cleaning procedures, or
chemicals for cleaning. This is not covered by the warranty.
14.Install the cleaned connector into the bayonet fixing of an appropriate terminating
device or the beam switch/coupler and lock the bayonet.

Prepare for Laser System Start Up
Initial Power up Sequence

1) Remove power from laser
2) Remove Power Key from laser system
WARNING:
NEVER look directly into a live fiber or collimator and wear appropriate laser safety
eyewear at all times while operating the product. Make sure all power is removed
from the laser when handling the delivery cable.
3) Inspect the optical connector end face to check for any debris or damages
Please refer to Fiber Connector Installation section
4) Remove protective cap from the optical connector and insert into coupling
unit/collimator
5) Properly align the “red” markings(dots) of the optical connector and the
coupling/collimating unit and insert the optical connector into the
coupling/collimating unit
6) Rotate the bayonet on the coupling unit to lock the optical connector into position
7) Repeat above procedure for connecting coupling unit with optical cable and
collimator assembly, if applicable
8) Ensure the output is aimed in a safe direction and attached securely as to prevent
any unwanted movement
WARNING:
If this is the first time that you are running this laser, it is imperative that you
verify the alignment of the Fiber to Fiber Coupler or Beam Switch before you run
any process with this laser (If Applicable).
9) Using Customer Interfacing Connections section and wire to satisfy all applicable
safety and interlocks
10) Apply power to laser system
136 -
11) Turn the front panel key switch to local mode
12) Connect to the laser through LaserNet Software using a crossover Ethernet
cable
13) Turn on the guide laser through the control page of LaserNet, properly align the
collimator and delivery optics using the guide laser
14) Make sure the water chillers are turned on for both the main laser assembly and
the optical connectors/coupling unit
15) Make sure the emergency stop button is released
16) Make sure the interlocks in the Safety Interface are satisfied. The Interlock
Active light on the front panel will be off if the interlocks are satisfied.
17) Press the Start button on the front panel to turn on main power supply. The
Status Indicator Lights on the top of the main laser assembly will start blinking
and the green Start Button will light, indicating laser power supply is active.
18) On a laser equipped with a beam switch the appropriate channel must be
selected
19) Set laser power by typing in the power level or moving the slider on the control
page in Power(W) or Current(%) mode. Do not operate laser at less than 10% of
the nominal output power for model.
20) Enable the Emission on the Control page of LaserNet. The Status Indicator
Lights on the top of the laser cabinet will turn on and remain solid, indicating laser
emission is present, or possible.

Back Reflection Prevention
CAUTION:
The laser is designed to accommodate for normal back reflections produced from the
use of your laser output, whether it is outfitted with a connector, optical coupling unit,
beam switch and/or collimator.
Your laser is equipped with back-reflection prevention circuitry, which shuts-off the
laser of in the case of excessive back-reflected light into the laser cavity. An error light
will activate and a “high back-reflection” message will appear on the LaserNet Alarm
page, if this occurs. If you are experiencing this message, please contact the IPG
Customer Service department.
For collimated outputs, maintaining a clean output lens is essential. Always cover (re-
cap) the collimator after use. Do not touch the output and only use appropriate
cleaning solutions to clean lens. Never expose the optical outputs to the environment
and reinstall into system without first inspecting.
Optical damage may result from failure to comply with the above instructions.
Please discuss your application with an IPG Sales Representative or Applications
Engineer if there are any questions or concerns.

Hint: After switching on the laser controller, by turning the Key Switch to Local or Remote
Mode, it can take up to two minutes to activate the controller. The internal computer needs
this time to boot.
139 -
Local Mode
By turning the Key Switch clockwise the laser is placed in Local/Test Mode. In this mode
only an external computer is needed to drive the laser. The computer has to be connected
to the laser or network via an Ethernet interface. Here is the sequence of actions:
1. Connect Laser to external computer directly using a cross-over Ethernet cable or to

a local network. Put Key Switch to Local/Test position. Start LaserNet program.
Laser parameters and status will be displayed in the multi windowed screen.

8. It is possible to set different rise and fall time for switching ON and OFF laser
emission. This option is available only in Local mode.
140 -
Modulation Control
While laser is in Local Mode it is possible to externally enable/disable emission with
frequencies up to 5 kHz. For operation in this mode additional external signal is required.
24Vdc(may enable as low as 5Vdc on some systems) signal required to switch ON laser
emission. To make laser emit with this control:
1. Connect an external 24Vdc signal to the modulation enable of A1 and A2 as

described in the Safety Interface Connector section.
2. Start LaserNet program. Open Control window.
3. Press External control ON/OFF button. Now External modulation mode is active.
4. Set required laser output power (in percentage or in Watts).
5. Press Emission ON/OFF button. No radiation emits until a high external modulation
signal is applied.

7. It is possible to change output power level during emission.
8. Switch off emission by removing external signal or turning emission OFF.
141 -
Analog Control
It is possible to control output power from the laser with an analog signal. 0Vdc
corresponds to the 0W output power; 10Vdc corresponds to maximum laser output power.
to make laser emit with this control:
1. Connect external 0-10Vdc analog signal to Pin 1 and 2 as described in the Analog
Interface Connector section.
2. Start LaserNet program. Open Control window.

142 -
Remote Mode
By turning the Key Switch counter clockwise the laser is placed in Remote/Robot Mode.
Without integration with external control system it is not possible to activate the power
supply and turn emission on. A Digital or Hardwiring interface must be used to control the
laser. Refer to Customer Interfacing Connections section for use with external Key Switch,
Start button, power supply and emission indicators, E-Stop circuitry. Connection with a
computer using LaserNet is still recommended to monitor functions.
143 -
Hardwiring Control
Refer to Hardwiring Interface Connector section for pin out of Harting Han 64 D connector
used for digital inputs and outputs in Remote mode. When “Laser request signal” (pin A1)
is supplied, a computer with the LaserNet program is used only for monitoring, it is blocked
from direct control.
Steps for simple emission in Hardwiring Control

Some systems may vary, see schematics for your particular system. Use of Customer
Interfacing Connections is required for functionality, refer to this section.
• Turn front panel key switch to Remote(robot) mode
• Enable Remote Laser Power Key Switch(A8 and A9 of J33)
• Enable SC Reset (C5 and C6 of J33)
• Enable Laser Request (A1 of J36)
• Enable Beam Switch Channel Select if so equipped to corresponding process fiber
(C3-C6 of J36)
• Enable Analog Control Enable (A6 of J36) and supply zero voltage to Analog Control
Input (1 and 2 of J34)
• Laser emission will be enabled once Program Start Input (A2 of J36) is set High.
• Appling 0-10VDC to the Analog Control Input (1 and 2 of J34) will now control laser
emission 0-100% output power (W).

Structure of the laser program (LP):
Each LASER PROGRAM can be represented as three-column table. The codes of

commands are specified in the first column, parameters of those commands are specified
in the second and in the third columns.
Total number of lines in each LP is limited by 100 (it is defined by size of internal FLASH).
The maximum number of LPs is limited by 50.
The command “Start LP number 0” is equivalent to Emission On command in Local

Control Mode.
Description of commands of LASER PROGRAM:
1. Stop
This command switches off the emission, switches off analog control if it was
switched on, stops execution of the LASER PROGRAM and sets a signal
«End of the program» to high level.
2. Set output power at a certain time

(Linear interpolation between two points) - this command sets output power
(W), specified as the second parameter of this command, after period of time
(ms), specified as the first parameter. The initial value of power is taken from
the previous command if applicable (see remark); or 0 if such a command has
not been listed. If the initial power is equal to the new value, this command
performs only a delay with specified time. This command switches off analog
control if it was switched on.
3. Set output power with ramping time

This command is similar to the previous one, except for the first parameter:
Ramping ratio (in W/ms) is specified instead of the time.
Remark: if the initial value of power is equal to the new one, command performs nothing.
Remark: commands 2 and 3 are the only commands to set power.
149 -
4. Wait for event
This command is waiting for events, which can be as follows:
· Transition high/low on Synchronization Input,
· Transition low/high on Synchronization Input,
· Low level on Synchronization Input,
· High level on Synchronization Input,
· Timer (ms).
Active synchronization input or timer is specified by the first parameter, type of event
is specified by the second parameter.
5. Go to another command line

This command performs “GOTO” to another command (line of LP), specified
in the first parameter if the counter specified in the second parameter is not
zero. After the jump, if the counter is more than zero, program decreases
counter by one. If the initial state of counter is zero – this command performs
unconditional “GOTO”. In addition to the counter (instead) following events can
be used: (GOTO IF)
· Low level on Synchronization Input,

· High level on Synchronization Input.
Jump will be performed, if specified condition is detected.
6. Set signal on «Synchronization Output»

This command sets low or a high level on Synchronization Output.
Number of «Synchronization Output» (only one in this version) is specified by
the first parameter, level (high or low) - by the second one.
7. Switch-over to external mode

After performing this command the value of the output power is taken from the
external interface. The external interface is specified by the first parameter of
the command. Action of this command can be stopped by commands #1, #2,
#3 (also #7, but with the different external interface specified).
Remark:the current version of LASER PROGRAM supports only one type of

external interface – External analog control.
