System
‹ The Holmium laser
system has only one
treatment screen.
Touch the control
screen selectors to set
the treatment values.
‹ Holmium only systems
are upgradeable to
dual-wave Holmium/
Nd:YAG laser systems.

There are three situations where the laser system will automatically change
modes from READY to STANDBY (both Holmium only & dual wave systems):
1. When the system has been standing idle in READY mode for more
than 5 minutes.
2. When disconnecting or reconnecting the footswitch.
3. When replacing a fiber.
Laser Emission
Treatment Screens - Dual System
Holmium Treatment Screen Nd:YAG Treatment Screen

It is possible for both lasers (Holmium & Nd:YAG) to be actively operational at the
same time, with the doctor choosing to operate one or the other by pressing the
appropriate side of the footswitch (see next slide).
To prevent accidents where the doctor may operate one laser when meaning to operate
the other (by pressing the wrong footswitch), it is recommended to lower the ENERGY
and RATE values of the laser not being used at the moment to Zero.

Each procedure should be done for every head separately.
Optical Alignment
1. Disassemble the FRM (First Relay Mirror) of the head you want to check.
2. Disable the Out Cal Switch on the CPU controller. Target alignment tool
3. Turn on the machine and enter by SW2 technician mode (Service screen #1).
4. Insert the target alignment tool (P/N 0621-131-51) in place of the mirror you removed.
5. In the Tech. screen, set the parameters of the relevant head (laser head #1 in On position) to 1.3 Hz
and 35-50J. (All other heads should be in OFF position).
6. Using the rear HR mirror’s alignment screws, adjust the laser spot so that it is centered in the target
alignment tool (use photo paper with plastic covering when firing).
7. Remove the target alignment tool and set up the external power meter. Change the parameters to
10Hz and 50J.
8. Adjust the OC adjustment screws to achieve the maximum energy.
9. Repeat steps 5-6 until the spot size is centered in the target alignment tool and the maximum energy
is achieved.

housings to the outside air.
„ Utilizes a closed loop, forced air heat exchanger
containing 2.5 gallons of deionized water).
„ Speed controlled fan forces air through head exchanger.
„ Provides cooling for 2 beam dumps.
„ System does NOT contain active chiller - water can never
be colder than ambient temperature during normal
operation.
Cooling System Components

Coolant flow is monitored by flowswitch as part of the CPU.

Motor and Pump head:

y thermally protected
y Pump uses the water as a lubricant and must never be run dry.
Differential fan speed controller:
y Uses a tachometer feedback to control the speed of the fan.
y Used for minimizing fan noise.
Particle filter:
y Traps particles larger than 5µm.
y All water is directed through the particle filter with each pass.
Heat Exchanger (radiator):
y All water passes through HE (radiator) from tank.
y Contains a drain fitting for draining.
Cooling System Components
DI cartridge:
y Installed in the coolant loop to remove any ion charged particles in the
water.
y A portion of the water is directed through the DI cartridge with each pass.
Main reservoir (tank):
y Mounted directly above the Heat Exchanger
y Most of the water is stored here until drawn up by the pump.
Fill reservoir (tank):
y Mounted behind the LCD under console top cover.
y Should be 1/2 full after removing air from cooling system.
y Remove top cover assembly to access tank for filling.
Cavity/Manifold:
y Coolant flows in direct contact with YAG rod and flashlamp outer surfaces
to remove the heat.
Water Temperature Circuit
