getting started Inventory Contents description Each item listed in Table 1-1 is described below. SYNRAD Firestar t-Series Laser – for cutting, welding, drilling, and marking a wide variety of products and materials. RF Power Supply – converts the DC input voltage to a radio frequency (RF) output that drives the t-Series Laser Head. Interconnect Cable – carries DC fan power and LED drive signals from the RF power supply to the Laser Head.
getting started Mounting the RF power supply The Mounting the RF power supply section includes subsections: ■ Mounting guidelines ■ Attaching mounting brackets ■ Mounting the RF supply The RF power supply is shipped with its mounting brackets removed. Follow the steps described below to attach mounting brackets and fasten the RF supply to your mounting surface.
getting started Mounting the RF power supply 1 Carefully place the RF power supply on a bench or table so that it is resting on the cooling fans. 2 Locate the side of the RF power supply where the cooling fins are exposed. Use a 5/64" hex wrench to remove the four button head screws fastening the power supply section to the cooling fins. 3 Orient the mounting bracket as shown in Figure 1-2 with the open part of the channel facing out and the wide mounting foot facing up.
getting started Mounting the t-Series laser The Mounting the t-Series laser section includes subsections: ■ Mounting guidelines ■ Mounting the Laser Head Firestar’s base plate is designed so that the laser is easily mounted to either vertical or horizontal surfaces using only three fasteners. Three ball bearing “feet” pressed into Firestar’s base plate eliminate any possible distortion of the laser tube caused by variations in the flatness of the surface on which the Laser Head is mounted.
getting started Mounting the t-Series laser A MODEL #: FST60SFD SERIAL #: FS60204082943 TESTED AT: 30V MFG: July 22, 2008 SYNRAD, Inc. 4600 Campus Place, Mukilteo WA 98275 425.349.3500 Top View (t60 Fan-Cooled Model) This laser component does not comply with standards for complete laser products as specified by 21 CFR 1040.10 or IEC 60825-1.
getting started Connecting The Connecting section includes subsections: ■ Water-cooled connections ■ OEM air-cooled connections ■ Electrical connections ■ Control connections Water-cooled connections Note: If your Laser Head is fan-cooled, then skip to the Electrical connections section. Read Guidelines for cutting and installing tubing before installing any cooling tubing and then make sure to connect the cooling system exactly as described for your particular laser.
getting started Connecting Chiller preparation guidelines ■ You must provide fittings that will adapt the laser’s 1/2-inch O.D. polyethylene cooling tubing to your chiller’s Inlet and Outlet ports. These fittings can be either “quick disconnect” or compression type fittings. ■ Because Firestar’s cooling tubing is specified in inch sizes, the use of metric tubing fittings is discouraged unless you have installed the appropriate inch-to-metric tubing adaptors.
getting started Connecting Caution Operating the laser at coolant temperatures above 22 °C (72 °F) may result in decreased performance and/or premature failure of electronic components.
getting started Connecting Cooling tubing connections Because changes in laser temperature can cause fluctuations in output power, coolant must flow through the Laser Head before it flows through the RF power supply. The following procedure will guide you in configuring the most efficient cooling system. Please connect your system exactly as described below. To connect cooling tubing, refer to Figure 1-6 and perform the following steps.
getting started Connecting 4 Turn on the chiller and adjust the temperature setpoint to 18 °C to 22 °C. Regulate coolant flow to 0.75–2.0 GPM (2.8–7.6 lpm) at less than 60 PSI (4.14 bar) of pressure. 5 Closely examine all cooling connections and verify that there are no leaks. OEM air-cooled connections (SA models) OEM air-cooled lasers (SA models) are shipped without cooling fans so customers must provide some type of cooling to prevent the Laser Head from overheating.
getting started Connecting SYNRAD recommends side-mounted cooling fans for t-Series lasers, but for t60 lasers only, a single rearmounted cooling fan is feasible. Figure 1-8 illustrates the rear-cooling concept. Please review the guidelines below to ensure that your implementation provides enough airflow to prevent damage to the laser. The cooling fan must supply at least 300 CFM in order to keep the t60 laser’s heat sink temperature below 50 °C (122 °F).
getting started Connecting Electrical connections The following procedures describe how to complete electrical connections to t-Series lasers. Caution possible equipment damage Do not connect or disconnect the Interconnect cable while DC power is applied to the RF power supply. This may damage the RF supply’s internal circuitry. Always remove DC power before connecting or disconnecting cables from the laser or RF power supply.
getting started Connecting RF Power cable The RF Power cable carries radio frequency (RF) power from the RF power supply to the Laser Head. To connect the RF Power cable, refer to Figure 1-10 and perform the following steps. The numbered items in Figure 1-10 correspond to the step numbers in the following procedure.
getting started Connecting DC power supply RF-600/RF-800 DC Power cables are manufactured with #6 AWG wire and measure 2 meters (6.6 feet) in length. RF-1000 DC Power cables are also 2 meters in length, but are manufactured using larger diameter (#4 AWG) wire due to the higher amperage requirement. We do not recommend shortening or lengthening these cables because specialized crimping equipment is required to properly affix the terminal lugs.
getting started Connecting 1 Verify that AC power to the DC power supply is physically locked out or disconnected. 2 Locate the DC Power cable in the ship kit. The DC Power cable is approximately seven feet (2 meters) long with connection lugs on both ends. 3 Locate the 30 VDC output terminals on the DC-6 output section and connect the black (–) cable to one of the negative (–) 30 VDC output terminals on the DC-6.
getting started Connecting 1 Verify that input AC power to the DC power supply is physically locked out or disconnected. 2 Locate the DC Power cable in the ship kit. The DC Power cable is approximately seven feet (2 meters) long with connection lugs on both ends. 3 Locate the 36 VDC output terminals on the DC-36 output section and connect the black (–) cable to the negative (–) 36 VDC output terminal. 4 Attach the other end of the black cable to the negative (–) DC input terminal on the RF-800.
getting started Connecting 1 Verify that input AC power to the DC power supply is physically locked out or disconnected. 2 Locate the DC Power cable in the ship kit. The DC Power cable is approximately seven feet (2 meters) long with connection lugs on both ends. 3 Locate the 30 VDC output terminals on the DC-100 output section and connect the black (–) cable to the negative (–) 30 VDC output terminal. 4 Attach the other end of the black cable to the negative (–) DC input terminal on the RF-1000.
getting started Connecting Control connections All control connections to Firestar t-Series lasers are made through the 15-pin User I/O connector on the RF power supply’s rear panel. The User I/O port receives power commands from SYNRAD’s UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller and also serves as the connection point for auxiliary signals between the laser and any parts handling, automation, or monitoring equipment.
getting started Connecting Quick Start Plug Note: The Quick Start Plug is not included with SA models but may be ordered separately. Caution possible equipment damage Turn off DC power before installing or removing any plug or cable from the User I/O connector. Ensure that user connections are made to the appropriate pins and that the appropriate signal levels are applied. Failure to do so may damage the laser.

operation Initial start-up The Initial start-up section includes subsections: ■ With a UC-2000 Controller ■ Without a UC-2000 Controller Note: To ensure optimum performance, t-Series Laser Heads and RF power supplies are tested and shipped as sets. Interchanging components may result in decreased laser performance. Warning serious personal injury Caution possible equipment damage On Firestar t-Series OEM lasers, remote interlock (INT) faults are not latched.
operation Initial start-up Note: When performing the initial start-up sequence, you must first connect the Quick Start Plug or you must provide the required Remote Interlock and Shutter Open Request signals to the User I/O connector. See User I/O connections in the Technical Reference chapter for User I/O pinouts and signal descriptions. Starting auxiliary equipment 1 Ensure that all personnel in the area are wearing protective eyewear.
operation Initial start-up Note: Each time an OEM laser is powered up or a keyswitch version is cycled OFF/ON, a five-second delay occurs between the time that RDY and/or SHT indicators illuminate and Firestar is permitted to lase. Warning serious personal injury Note: Because of phase differences, external tickle pulses may combine with the internally-generated tickle signal causing the LASE LED to flicker during the transition from tickle to lasing. Laser output may occur if the LASE LED flickers.
operation Initial start-up Without a UC-2000 Controller If you are not using a UC-2000 to control the laser, follow the steps below to verify the laser operation. Although a tickle signal is not required, you will need to provide PWM Command signals to Firestar’s User I/O connector. Refer to User I/O connections in the Technical Reference chapter for connector pinouts and refer to Controlling laser power in the Technical Reference chapter for Command signal descriptions.
operation Initial start-up 7 Verify that the RF power supply’s Keyswitch (if equipped) is in the OFF position and turn on the DC power supply. If the Quick Start Plug is installed, the INT (Remote Interlock) indicator will illuminate green and the SHT (Shutter) indicator will illuminate blue—if the manual Shutter Switch is Open. The TMP (Temperature) indicator illuminates green if laser temperature is within safe operating limits.
operation Initial start-up Caution possible equipment damage 7 Do not flow coolant through the laser for an extended period of time when the laser is shutdown. This causes condensation to form inside the laser or RF power supply which may result in catastrophic damage to internal optics and electronic circuits. On water-cooled t-Series lasers, shut off the chiller or otherwise stop coolant flow through the Laser Head and RF power supply.
3 technical reference Use information in this section as a technical reference for your Firestar t-Series laser. This section contains the following information: ■ Technical overview – briefly describes Firestar’s technology and basic optical setup. ■ Controlling laser power – explains various aspects of Firestar control signals. ■ User I/O (Input/Output) connections – describes signals and specifications for the RF power supply’s User I/O connector.
technical reference Technical overview The Technical overview section includes subsections: ■ t-Series Laser Head ■ RF power supply ■ Optical setup t-Series Laser Head Laser tube Firestar® t-Series lasers were developed using new technology patented by SYNRAD, Inc.
technical reference Technical overview Full Angle Divergence <7 mrad Ø Beam Waist Diameter 2.2 mm at Output Aperture Figure 3-1 t-Series beam characteristics RF power supply The RF power supply converts DC input power into a radio frequency (RF) signal using a crystal-controlled oscillator. The 81.36 MHz RF output from the oscillator is then amplified to obtain the RF power required to drive the laser.
technical reference Technical overview Figure 3-2 “Flying optics” beam path Focusing optics When selecting a focusing optic, the primary consideration should be material thickness and any vertical tolerances that occur during final part positioning rather than making a selection based only on minimum spot size. The chosen focal length should create the smallest possible focused spot while providing the depth of field required for the material to be processed.
technical reference Controlling laser power The Controlling laser power section includes subsections: ■ Control signals ■ Operating modes Control signals Much of the information provided in this section describes the use of a SYNRAD UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller to provide PWM Command signals to the t-Series laser.
technical reference Controlling laser power Representative optical output pulse Representative optical output pulse M3 M3 T 1 Ch1 2.00 V M 50.0µs Ch1 T 1 50% PWM duty cycle at 4.8 kHz 1.24 V 80% PWM duty cycle at 4.8 kHz Ch1 2.00 V M 50.0µs Ch1 1.24 V Figure 3-3 Representative Firestar t-Series waveforms Firestar t-Series lasers are designed to operate at Command signal base frequencies up to 25 kHz; however, the choice of PWM frequency depends on the user’s specific application.
technical reference Controlling laser power The third Command signal parameter, PWM duty cycle, is the percentage of the period that the Command signal is high. If the Command signal’s amplitude (at 5 kHz) is high for 100 µs and low for 100 µs, it has a 50% duty cycle; if the amplitude is high for 190 µs and low for 10 µs, it has a 95% duty cycle. Figure 3-4 illustrates PWM Command signal parameters while Table 3-2 lists PWM signal specifications.
technical reference Controlling laser power To generate the correct analog voltage from a computer or PLC, a Digital-to-Analog (D/A or DAC) card capable of generating 0 V (laser off) to 10 V (maximum laser power) must be installed. To generate the proper analog current, install a D/A card that can generate 4 mA (laser off) to 20 mA (maximum power). Software able to control your analog output card is required for either configuration.
technical reference Controlling laser power SYNRAD’s Firestar t-Series lasers produce an optical output pulse that is almost exactly square (see Figure 3-5), meaning that there is no leading edge overshoot and virtually no power variation across the actual pulse.
technical reference User I/O connections The User I/O connections section includes subsections: ■ User I/O connection summary ■ Input/output signals ■ Sample I/O circuits User I/O connection summary Table 3-3 below provides a quick reference summary for Firestar t-Series User I/O connections. Table 3-3 User I/O pin descriptions Pin Function 1 PWM Return Description Use this input pin to provide the return side of the PWM Command signal.
technical reference User I/O connections Pin Function 8 Laser Ready Description This bi-directional switched output is internally connected to Pin 13, Output Common, when the laser is enabled (RDY indicator illuminated yellow), indicating that lasing will occur when a PWM Command signal is applied to Pin 9 and Pin 1. When this output is initially switch closed, there is a five-second delay during which lasing is inhibited.
technical reference User I/O connections Input/output signals Firestar’s input/output signals are divided into three categories: auxiliary DC power, input signals, and output signals. Signals in each category are fully described in the section below. Figure 3-6 illustrates the pin arrangement of the User I/O (15 pin female D-type subminiature) connector on the RF power supply’s rear panel.
technical reference User I/O connections Auxiliary DC power Firestar’s User I/O connector provides auxiliary DC power for driving external inputs or outputs connected to the User I/O port. Pin 4, +5 VDC Auxiliary Power, and Pin 5, +24 VDC Auxiliary Power, are protected by self-resetting fuses rated at 0.5 A. Pin 12, Auxiliary DC Power Ground, is connected to chassis ground while all other User I/O pins are floating with respect to chassis ground. Figure 3-7 illustrates Firestar’s internal DC supply wiring.
technical reference User I/O connections Input signals A total of four user inputs allow control of Firestar lasers. Remote Interlock, Shutter Open Request, and Remote Reset/Start Request inputs are optoisolated and bi-directional, allowing for positive or negative polarity signal inputs. These three signals also share a common return connection, Input Common, which is separate from chassis ground to completely isolate control signals for optimal EMI performance.
technical reference User I/O connections Pin 10 Shutter Open Request Apply a positive or negative voltage (±5–24 VDC) with respect to Pin 11, Input Common, to enable lasing. If your system does not supply a Shutter Open Request signal, this pin must be connected to a voltage source in the range of ±5–24 VDC. Refer to Figure 3-8 for a diagram showing how the Shutter Open Request input is factory-jumpered.

technical reference User I/O connections Figure 3-17 illustrates how Firestar’s outputs can drive the DC Input Module of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). By supplying voltage (+VDC) to Pin 13, Output Common, each Firestar output is independently switched to activate individual PLC inputs.
technical reference DB-9 connections (SA models only) The side-mounted DB-9 connector on SA model lasers provides a Shutter Switch input as well as auxiliary +5 and +24 VDC power. This connector also provides Lase, Shutter, and Ready signals for driving customer-supplied LEDs. Figure 3-18 illustrates DB-9 pinouts. Caution possible equipment damage +24 VDC (Pin 4 and Pin 5) voltage outputs are not fused or electrically protected. Do not short these pins; internal circuitry may be damaged.
technical reference DB-9 connections (SA models only) Pin Function 4 + 24 VDC Fan Power Description This connection provides +24 VDC for driving a customer-supplied cooling fan. The +24 VDC Fan Power output (Pin 4) can source up to 0.75 A max. This pin is not protected or fused; the control board will be damaged if this pin is inadvertently shorted. The return (ground) path must be through Pin 3, DC Power Ground.
technical reference DB-9 connections (SA models only) Figure 3-19 shows how to connect LED indicators to Ready, Lase, and Shutter outputs. The DB-9 circuit is designed so that no external current-limiting resistors are required. Note: The Shutter output circuit is designed to drive only blue, white, or purple LEDs. You must add an external 43 Ohm resistor if an LED of another color is used.
technical reference Integrating Firestar safety features The Integrating Firestar safety features section includes subsections: ■ Keyswitch functions ■ Shutter functions ■ Remote Interlock functions Firestar’s DB-15 User I/O connector allows system integrators or end-users to integrate Firestar safety features into their control system. Firestar’s keyswitch, shutter, and remote interlock functions serve to enable or disable DC power to Firestar’s RF drive.
technical reference Integrating Firestar safety features The Laser Ready output closes when the laser is enabled (RDY LED illuminated yellow), indicating that lasing is possible.

Daily inspections Perform the following steps daily to keep your Firestar t-Series laser in optimum operating condition.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Maintenance 3 Visually inspect the exterior housing of the Laser Head and RF power supply to ensure that all warning labels are present. Refer to t-Series label locations and RF power supply label locations in the Laser Safety chapter for label types and locations. Storage/shipping When preparing a water-cooled laser for storage or shipping, remember to drain cooling water from the Laser Head and the RF power supply.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Maintenance Debris or contaminants on the laser’s output coupler or external beam delivery components may affect laser processing and lead to damage or failure of the optics and/or the laser. Carefully follow the steps below to inspect and clean the optical components in the beam path. Before beginning the cleaning process, read this entire section thoroughly to ensure that all cleaning materials are available and that each step is completely understood.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Maintenance Cleaning optics 1 Shut off and lock out all power to the laser. You must verify that the laser is OFF (in a zero-energy state) before continuing with the optical inspection! 2 Visually inspect all optical surfaces in the beam path, including the laser’s output coupler, for contaminants. Caution possible lens damage Do not allow the nozzle of the air bulb to touch the optical surface. Any contact may damage the optic by scratching coatings on the optical surface.

maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Laser faults Firestar t-Series lasers version C and above (KFC, SAC, etc.) have the ability to indicate five specific fault conditions. In the event of a certain faults, RDY LEDs on the RF power supply and Laser Head blink an error code, pause four seconds, and then repeat the error code. This sequence continues until the fault is corrected and the laser is reset by cycling DC power to the RF power supply.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Shutter A closed shutter is not considered a fault condition. When a Shutter Open Request signal is applied, lasing is enabled after a five-second delay provided that the RDY indicator is illuminated yellow. Under/over voltage fault An under voltage or over voltage fault occurs when the DC input voltage is below or above preset limits. This fault is indicated by the RDY indicator flashing 1 blink (under voltage) or 2 blinks (over voltage).
maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting OEM lasers Warning serious personal injury On Firestar t-Series OEM lasers, remote interlock (INT) faults are not latched. Clearing the fault condition re-enables the RDY indicator and the laser will fire after the five-second delay provided that the SHT indicator is lit and a PWM Command signal is applied. Because exposure to 10.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting RF Drive DC fault An RF Drive DC fault is indicated by the RDY indicator flashing 3 blinks. Reset the laser by removing DC power to the RF power supply, wait 30 seconds, and then reapply DC power. If the RF Drive DC fault reappears, contact SYNRAD or a SYNRAD Authorized Distributor. PWM Drive fault A PWM Drive fault is indicated by the RDY indicator flashing 4 blinks.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting On systems using remote interlocks, check to see that a positive or negative voltage (±5–24 VDC) is applied to Pin 3, Remote Interlock, with respect to Pin 11, Input Common, on the User I/O connector (refer to User I/O connections in the Technical Reference chapter for details).
maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Symptom: ■ A shutter closed condition is indicated: INT LED TMP LED RDY LED SHT LED LASE LED – Green – Green – Yellow – Off – Off Interlock Open Over Temperature Laser Ready Shutter Open Laser Active – Open – Open – Closed – Open – Open Possible Causes: ■ The Shutter Switch (if equipped) is Closed. If your Firestar laser is equipped with a Shutter Switch, slide the switch to the Open position. The SHT indicator will illuminate blue.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Symptom: ■ There is no output laser beam; all LED status indicators are Off. Possible Causes: ■ No DC voltage is applied. Ensure that DC power cable connections are tight and verify that 30 VDC (t60/t100) or 36 VDC (t80) is applied to the RF power supply under full load. Laser replacement Symptom: ■ When connecting a newer t60 Laser Head to an older RF-600 RF power supply (or vice versa) for troubleshooting purposes, the Interconnect cable will not attach.
maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Symptom: ■ The laser loses power over time; laser output power must be increased to maintain performance. Possible Causes: ■ Beam delivery optics are coated by vapor residue or debris. Danger serious personal injury Ensure that DC power to the laser is turned off and locked out before inspecting optical components in the beam path. Invisible CO2 laser radiation is emitted through the aperture.
