1.3 The Safety Interlock System
The laser system incorporates a safety interlock circuit that automatically shuts off the
power supplied to the laser whenever the front or top door is opened. This interlock
system is connected in series with a red indicator light on the control panel of the
system. The red indicator light will flash when the laser system is powered on and the
top door or the front door is opened. If the red light is flashing, all electrical power to
the laser tube itself is turned off. If, at any time, the flashing red light does not turn ON
when either the top door or the front door is opened, IMMEDIATELY unplug the laser
system and call Universal Laser Systems Inc. technical support for service instructions.
DO NOT operate the laser system if any safety feature is malfunctioning.
The laser system comes equipped with a safety interlock defeat tool. Do not use this
tool unless you have been properly trained by Universal Laser Systems Inc. This tool is
only to be used for maintenance and repair procedures and should only be used when
instructed to do so by Universal Laser Systems Inc. and all safety precautions have
been followed.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify or defeat the safety interlock system for any
reason as this could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation.
When using the interlock defeat tool, wear appropriate laser safety
goggles. Failure to wear appropriate goggles can result in severe eye
damage.
