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-7-OEM will 
cut  the  power  to  the  laser  or  the  shutters  and  the  ‘System  Armed’  lights  will  be  extinguished.  To 
resume laser operation: 
 

1)

 

Open the Arm contacts. 

2)

 

Close all interlocked doors (where necessary). Note LED state on front panel. 

3)

 

Reset the emergency stop button (where necessary). 

4)

 

When ready to restart, close the external Arm contacts. 

 
N.B.    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.

Fuses 

 
The ICS-7-OEM has two protection fuses which might blow if there is a fault or wiring error. Both are 
indicated on the label (see fig. 1) and have removable plastic covers for protection. Their ratings are 
as follows: 
 
Main 24V power supply fuse  

 

4A T 20 x 5mm 

24V Expansion power fuse  

 

3.15A T 20 x 5mm 

 
Electronic trips are  used to  protect  the  power  supplies to the  A and  B safety  loops.  If the  A  and  B 
safety loops are crossed over, one or both of these circuits will trip. When the fault is cleared, the 
trips may be reset by cycling the +24V power to the unit.
