It delivers a wide spectral output ranging from 410nm to 2400nm with up to 4W total power. SC-Pro is a short pulse, MHz repetition rate source based on MOPA architecture providing excellent reliability and lifetime. High spectrum density over the whole spectrum makes it the ideal source for the various applications like fluorescence, nanophotonics, flow-cytometry, OCT and etc.2.Basic configuration3.Dimension (L*W*H)360mm*260mm*125mmProduct Operation1.Unpacking and packing demonstration Output Collimator2.Front panel’s functionA.Key Switch: Clockwise rotate 90 degrees to turn on the Laser,counterclockwise rotate 90 degrees to turn off;B.Touch Screen: Displays the parameters, control the system;C.Output Collimator: Collimated free space output.3.Back panel’s functionA.Power interface: Connect the power adapter to supply power;B.Interlock: Connect the Interlock (as following) when use the Laser;A. Power InterfaceB. InterlockC. SMA PortD. USB InterfaceInterlock Pin Definition：Pin8,Pin9 short circuit, Laser normalwork；Pin8,Pin9 disconnect, Laser warming,Error 8: InterLock alarmC.SMA port: The SMA interface will output a pulse square wave signalloaded 50Ω with the same pulse and the same frequency;B Interface: Connect the computer to control the Laser.4.Collimated opticsA.Collimated optics, output the lightB.SC output holder, mounting the SC outputC.Cover, cover the collimated opticsCoverCollimated opticsCautions:A strong reflected laser beam back into the output fiber may damage the laser.Please increase or decrease the power gradually to the maximum or minimum.Panel Control1.Switch on the Laser（1）Connect the Power Adapter, plug the Interlock, Screw off theOutput Collimator Cover. Then turn on the Key Switch , you can see（2） About 3 seconds later, switch to the following interface;Increase powerDecrease powerClick the “Repetition Rate”, Input the frequency.（3）Press the “ON/OFF” button, the “System Status” will display “Stp:1”, “Stp:2”, “Stp:3”, “Stp:4”, “Stp:5”, "ON" in turn;（4）Then you can just set up the Power from 0%→50%→100% gradually by the keyboard.* Change the frequency:（1）Decrease the power form 100%→50%→0%, press the “ON/OFF” to turn off the Laser;（2）Input the frequency;（3）Repeat the switch on the Laser step 3 and 4.2.Switch off the Laser（1）Decrease the power from 100%→50%→0% gradually; Press“ON/OFF”, and then “System Status” displays “OFF”;（2）Turn off the Key Switch;（3）Screw on the Output Collimator Cover;（4）Please disconnect the Power Adapter and Interlock while it’s in idle state for a long time.3.Failure AlarmAlarm description:Error 1-5: circuit module alarmError 6: frequency alarmError 7: temperature alarmError 8: InterLock alarmContact us immediately when the following happens:Remote Control1.Software settingBefore the operation, you should install the Laser USB driver, connect the Power Adapter and the Interlock and make sure the USB cable communicated well, Screw off the Output Collimator Cover.（1）Open the software as follow;（2）You could see the operational window.2.Switch on the Laser（1）Click the “Power On”；Replied “power onsuccessful”;（2）Input the Frequency, click the “Setting”; Replied “Freq set”;（3）Click the “Laser On”; Replied “Laser on”;（4）Input Power from 1% →50% →100% gradually, and click the “Setting” every time; Replied “Power set”.* Change the frequency:（1）Decrease the power form 100%→50%→1%, click the “setting” every time;Replied “Power set”;（2）click the “Laser Off”;（3）Input the frequency and click the “setting”;（4）Repeat the step 3 and 4.3.Switch off the Laser（1）Decrease the power from 100%→50%→1%gradually, and click the “Setting” every time; Replied“Power set”;（2）Click the “Laser off”;（3）Click the “Power off”;（4）Screw on the Output Collimator Cover;（5）Please disconnect the Power Adapter andInterlock while it’s in idle state for a long time.Product Parameters1.Electrical characteristicsINPUT：100～240V AC 50/60Hz 2APower dissipation：100～130W2.Optical characteristicsPlease see the test report for details.Daily Maintenance and Storage1.Clean and maintenancePlease cover the output head with the dust-cap to avoid dust pollution while it’s in idle;Keep the laser body clean, don’t let the body and power adapter touch water.2.Storage conditionsTemperature: 25 ℃(± 20 ℃), humidity : 60% or less.3.Operation conditionTemperature: 25 ℃(±5 ℃), humidity: 60% or less.Safety considerations1.Strong reflected laser beam back into the SC output maydamage the SC；2.Don’t direct looking at the output of the SC at any time in anycase；3.Don’t put things in the air passage in case it’s clogged;4.Don’t place heavy objects on the laser body;5.Don’t put the output collimator toward people or any other reflectivesurface in case causing any personal injury;6.Don’t check the laser directly with your eyes unless you sure thedevice is in power-down state while the laser may lunch infrared and ultraviolet light invisible but harmful to your eyes;7.Be sure that the laser is out of power before checking the device;8.Don’t stare at the emission port directly even you wear the laserprotective glasses;9.Don’t put any low ignition substance on the laser such as theflammable, explosive materials etc;10.Be sure that the laser is placed in non-professionals can’t touch;11.Don’t shoot the laser light to the glass since the normal glass withabout 4% reflectivity and reflect light back to your eyes to cause harm;12.Please take off your watch when you use the laser in case the watchsurface reflecting light into your eyes;13.Please use a detector or conversion film to locate the laser light sincethe light beyond 800nm is totally invisible;14.We strongly recommend that you should wear a pair of laser gogglescorresponding to laser in specific wavelength to protect your eyes when you using the laser for working;15.We recommend that you wear a long suit of white clothes. For it willnot burn your clothes then cause a fire even the laser irradiate to your body.Contact AddressWuhan Yangtze Soton Laser Co., Ltd.80# Fifth Hi-tech Avenue, East Lake Hi-tech Development Zone, Wuhan, P.R.
