External
Interlock
The system will not operate with the interlock open. An interlock
connector is located on the power supply rear panel. The interlock
status is monitored by the CPU. If the interlock is open, the message,
“External Interlock Fault” will be displayed on the power supply
front panel.
An external interlock circuit can be connected to the laser system
and wired to a door switch to provide additional operating safety.
When the door is opened, the laser will shut down. Press MENU
EXIT key to clear the fault and continue operation.
To incorporate an external safety interlock circuit into the laser
system, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the laser system. Locate and remove the Interlock
connector from the back of the Verdi power supply. This type
of connector is called a “three pin mini-DIN”.
2. Slide the plastic cover off of the connector. Locate the two pins
that have a wire soldered between them. These are pins 1 and
2. Remove the shorting wire and solder your interlock wires to
these two pins. Make sure the wires have adequate strain relief.
3. Solder the other ends of the wires to an interlock switch. You
can use many types of switches. The switch must be of a type
that has its contacts closed when it is safe to operate the laser
and open when it is not safe.
4. Figure 1-5 shows the wiring diagram for the switch. One wire
runs from pin 1 of the connector to the normally open contact
of the switch. The other wire runs from pin 2 to the common
terminal of the switch. The switch is shown in the open posi-
tion. This is the condition in which you do not want the laser
beam to operate.
