Operation
Once correctly wired, the ICS-6-SP is extremely easy to use. The following instructions cover the
most common arrangements. For more complex customer-specific systems, additional procedures
may apply.
10.1
Starting Up
Refer to the instruction manual for the touch panel used to control the ICS-6-SP.
1)
Apply 24V power to the controller.
2)
Unlock the interlock controller using either the keypad on the touch panel or by other
means as may be provided.
3)
Close all interlocked doors. An indication is shown on the touch panel if any door is not
closed.
4)
Check any Emergency Stop buttons are released- if any have been pressed an indication will
be shown on the touch panel.
The touch panel will indicate that the controller is ready to be armed.
5)
When you are ready to operate the laser, operate the ‘Arm’ button on the touch panel. If all
is well the touch panel will show a yellow laser hazard symbol and indicate that the laser is
enabled. On the Controller unit the amber ‘Armed’ A and B lights will be illuminated.
Note:
Be aware that this action restores power to the shutters or the laser, and may result in
accessible laser beams, depending on your system set up. The system should only be armed when
everyone is ready and the necessary safety precautions have been taken e.g. protective eyewear etc.
10.2 Resuming Operation after an Interlock Switch has been
opened
When any interlocked door is opened or the emergency stop button is activated, the ICS-6-SP
Control Unit will cut the power to the laser or the shutters and the ‘Laser Enabled’ indication will be
extinguished. To resume laser operation:
1)
Close all interlocked doors (where necessary). Note indications on touch panel.
2)
Reset the emergency stop button (where necessary).
3)
When ready to restart, operate the Arm Laser button on the touch panel.
Note:
Be aware that this action restores power to the shutters or the laser, and may result in
accessible laser beams, depending on your system set up. This action should only be taken when
everyone is ready and the necessary safety precautions have been taken e.g. protective eyewear etc.
