Before the redPOWER PRISM OEM laser is delivered to the customer, the customer must ensure that the following
Utilities are available.
• Water Supply : Cooling Water Requirements
• Integrators must ensure that the water condition meets the requirements set out in the following tables and in
the manual below.
• SM-S00481 redPOWER Prism OEM Fibre Laser Instructions for Use
• Ensure that the hose connections are leak free and tested before electrical operation of the laser .
• SPI recommend that an appropriate filter is installed in line to the flow lines of the laser. The grade of filter is
100µm
• Pre-treated water and additives for prevention of corrosion, scaling and microbial growth are available
commercially, for example from NALCO and Optishield.
• additives may reduce the heat capacity of the water. The flow rate must be increased to compensate.
• The following table will show the specification for the chiller to ensure correct cooling of the OEM and PIPA-Q
BDO head.

Customer Requirements Pre Install
Drinkable tap water is likely to meet the above requirements, and water meeting the requirements of VDI3803,
Appendix B, Table B3 does.
When designing the water cooling system, the Laser Integrator should consider the following:
• Deionised water is not permitted in the cooling circuit as the generally high levels of dissolved O2 and CO2 in
deionised water cause corrosion.
• Due to the cooling circuit of the laser and BDO incorporate copper, nickel plating and stainless steel, aluminium and
plain carbon or low alloy steels should not be used as galvanic corrosion may occur.
• Bacterial growth, scaling and corrosion will cause low flow rates and reduce heat transfer from the laser therefore
pre-treated water and additives for prevention of corrosion, scaling and microbial growth are available commercially,
for example NALCO and Optishield.
NOTE: Additives may reduce the heat capacity of the water. Therefore the flow rate must be increased to compensate.

• Water Connections PIPA-Q Optical connector.
• The water connections to the PIPA-Q optical connector requires a separate water supply which can be achieved
by using a two channel chiller unit with independent settings for each channel.
• It is essential that the PIPA-Q optical connector is adequately cooled with a source of clean, chilled water in
accordance with the specifications in the table above . Operating the PIPA-Q optical connector without an
adequate flow of cooling water may result in catastrophic damage.
• It is the customers responsibility to provide the fittings and hose for the install of the laser, SPI recommends the
use of John Guest fittings as shown below.
• John Guest 10mm Equal Elbow PM0310E
10mm Equal Straight PM0410E

Mains DC Power Supply
Electrical power for the pump diodes must be provided by an external DC power supply.
Power for the internal electronics must be provided by a DC auxiliary power supply.
SPI Lasers recommends the following DC power supplies for the pump diode supply
• Customer sourced Power Supply
• Customer must follow Supplier instruction Manual for Parallel Operation if more than one power supply to be used.
• Must conform to the specifications in the following slide for EOL (End Of Life) Current and Voltage.
• TDK Lambda GEN 50-200-3P400
• Aux 24V PSU(0.5A Rated) 24 ±5% Isolating
• MEAN WELL RST-10000-48
• May require additional Capacitive Support for first few
milliseconds of operation. See Figure below.

• To ensure compliance with EN
60204-1 Safety requirements for
electrical equipment for
measurement, control and laboratory
use – Part 1: General Requirements,
an external switch or circuit breaker
and external overcurrent protection
device should be fitted.
• Use of an inappropriate pump diode
power supply will invalidate the
warranty on the Prism Fibre Laser.
Further information can be provided
by request from SPI Lasers.
• A power supply capable of providing
0.5A at 24V DC which is
appropriately approved and protected
is required to power the control and
monitoring circuits in the Prism Fibre
Laser.

continuity between the FCMS pins on the user interface connector the Prism
Fibre Laser is disabled and the industrial laser machine is put in a safe state.
To help the customer the following cable diagram shows the minimum connection that can be achieved which
will operate the laser and allow alarm reset. For the full list of pin outs please refer to the product manual

37 Way Dsub connector provides the input
for the following supplies.
• External 24VDC Aux PSU
• Input /output Logic controls from external
PLC/CNC controller.
• Analogue Control Inputs
All of the above must be connected on the
negative side of the circuit to chassis Ground
single star point.
37 way Dsub Connector
The Bus Bars for the DC input power supply
must be connected from Negative to
Machine chassis Ground Single star point
The Final and most important connection is
the Prism OEM chassis to the Machine
chassis Ground. Leaving this open may
cause the other signals to float due to
insufficient return path to the chassis ground
and closing the ground loop.
For safe operation of the Prism OEM Laser and to comply with
regional electrical codes, grounding of the machine and
equipment is of the highest importance!

Unpacking & Handling
29/06/2016
CAUTION: The Prism Fibre Laser is heavy, precautions must be taken when
lifting and moving. Failure to do so may cause serious injury !
On arrival the following actions must be undertaken before removal of the laser from the container.
• Inspect the shipping container for any damage.
• Record all damage for insurance purposes.
The Prism Fiber Laser weighs 33kg without the BDO therefore to avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the
Prism Laser module, SPI advise that the laser must be lifted with two people or by use of a lifting crane. If the laser
is required to move over distance a trolley or similar mechanical assistance is required.

Start Up/Shutdown Procedure for
Prism Laser.
29/06/2016
• NOTE: 24V Aux supply must be turned on before the diode power supply
• Enable line must not be high before turning on the 24V PSU. If enable is high, the laser will not enable and the line must be
cycled for the laser to work correctly.
• Setting Machine & Water controls
• Turn on Machine (Machine may control Chiller or House water)
• Turn on the Chiller or House water if external to machine (Ensure Flow to both Laser and beam delivery optics)
• Turn on 24V Auxiliary Supply to Laser Control
• Turn on Diode Power Supply
• Starting the Operation
• Set ENABLE High
• Laser Ready O/P High
• Set POWER SET High (0.5 to 10V = 5% to 100% Power)
• Set MODULATE High
• EMITTING O/P High (Laser emission status indicator now amber)
• Laser now delivering Output Power as requested.
• Shutting Down the Operation
• Set Modulate to Low
• Set Power Set to 0V
• Set Enable to Low
• Turn off Diode PSU (allow PSU to discharge)
• For a Full Shut Down State
• Turn Off 24V Auxiliary supply for control
• Laser is now in a shutdown state.
• For operation using Analogue Modulation mode consult SM-S00481 Prism Module Fiber Laser User Instructions
• Before following the process as shown, all machine interlocks, emergency stops and Beam Delivery Optics must be
in a safe position.
