2 LASER SAFETY
This user information is in compliance with the following standards

for Light-Emitting Products IEC 60825-1 / EN 60825-1 “Safety of laser
products - Part 1: Equipment classification and requirements” and
CDRH 21 CFR Title 21 Chapter 1, Subchapter J, Part 1040 “Perfor-
mance standards for light-emitting products”.
WARNING!
LASER RADIATION - AVOID EYE OR SKIN EXPOSURE TO DIRECT OR
SCATTERED RADIATION CLASS 4 LASER PRODUCT!
WARNING!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation expo-
sure.
This laser safety section must be reviewed thoroughly prior to operating

the C-60+ Series Air and Liquid-Cooled lasers. Safety instructions
presented throughout this manual must be followed carefully.
2.1 Hazards
Hazards associated with lasers generally fall into the following categories:
• Biological hazards from exposure to laser radiation that may damage
the eyes or skin
• Electrical hazards generated in the laser power supply or associated
circuits
• Chemical hazards resulting from contact of the laser beam with vola-
tile or flammable substances, or released as a result of laser material
processing
9
The above list is not intended to be exhaustive. Anyone operating the

laser must consider the interaction of the laser system with its specific
working environment to identify potential hazards.
2.1.1 Optical Safety
Laser light, because of its optical qualities, poses safety hazards not
associated with light from conventional light sources. The safe use of
lasers requires all operators, and everyone near the laser system, to be
aware of the dangers involved. Users must be familiar with the instrument
and the properties of coherent, intense beams of light.
The safety precautions listed below are to be read and observed by
anyone working with or near the laser. At all times, ensure that all
personnel who operate, maintain or service the laser are protected from
accidental or unnecessary exposure to laser radiation exceeding the
accessible emission limits defined in the laser safety standards.
WARNING!
Direct eye contact with the output beam from the laser may cause
serious eye injury and possible blindness.
The greatest concern when using a laser is eye safety. In addition to the
main beam, there are often many smaller beams present at various
angles near the laser system. These beams are formed by specular
reflections of the main beam at polished surfaces such as lenses or
beamsplitters. While weaker than the main beam, such beams may still be
sufficiently intense to cause eye damage.
Laser beams are powerful enough to burn skin, clothing, or combustible
materials, even at some distance. They can ignite volatile substances
such as alcohol, gasoline, ether, and other solvents, and can damage
light-sensitive elements in video cameras, photomultipliers, and
photodiodes. The user is advised to follow the control measures below.
2.1.1.1 Recommended Precautions and Guidelines
1. Observe all safety precautions in the preinstallation and operator’s

manuals.
2. Always wear appropriate eyewear for protection against the specific
wavelengths and laser energy being generated. See “Laser Safety
Eyewear” on page 1-3. for additional information.
3. Avoid wearing watches, jewelry, or other objects that may reflect or
scatter the laser beam.
10
4. Stay aware of the laser beam path, particularly when external optics
are used to steer the beam.
5. Provide enclosures for beam paths whenever possible.
6. Block the beam before applying tools such as Allen wrenches or ball
drivers to external optics.
7. Limit access to the laser to trained and qualified users who are
familiar with laser safety practices. When not in use, lasers should be
shut down completely and made off-limits to unauthorized personnel.
8. Terminate the laser beam with a light-absorbing material. Laser light
can remain collimated over long distances and therefore presents a
potential hazard if not confined. It is good practice to operate the laser
in an enclosed room.
9. Post laser warning signs in the area of the laser beam to alert those
present.
10. Exercise extreme caution when using solvents in the area of the laser.
11. Never look directly into the laser light source or at scattered laser light
from any reflective surface, even when wearing laser safety eyewear.
Never sight down the beam.
12. Set up the laser so that the beam height is either well below or well
above eye level.
13. Avoid direct exposure to the laser light. Laser beams can easily cause
flesh burns or ignite clothing.
14. Advise all those working with or near the laser of these precautions.
2.1.1.2 Laser Safety Eyewear
Always wear appropriate laser safety eyewear for protection against the
specific wavelengths and laser energy being generated. The appropriate
eye protection can be calculated as defined in the “EN 207 Personal eye
protection equipment - Filters and eye-protectors against laser radiation
(laser eye-protectors)”, in other national or international standards (e.g.
ANSI, ACGIH, or OSHA) or as defined in national safety requirements.
Anyone working with or near the C-60+ Series laser must wear laser
safety eyewear with an OD rating 5 eye protection.
CAUTION!
Laser safety eyewear protects the user from accidental exposure to
laser radiation by blocking light at the laser wavelengths. However,
laser safety eyewear may also prevent the operator from seeing the
beam or the beam spot. Exercise extreme caution even while wearing
safety glasses.
11
2.1.1.3 Viewing Distance
The C-60+ Series laser produces optical power levels that are dangerous
to the eyes and skin if exposed directly or indirectly. These products must
be operated only with proper eye and skin protection at all times. Never
view directly emitted or scattered radiation with unprotected eyes. When
viewing the laser during operation, the operator must maintain the
Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) between the laser or scattered
radiation and the operator's eyes. Figure 2-1 summarizes the NOHD for
the power range of the C-60+ Series for direct viewing of the collimated
beam along with two other common configurations. The NOHD in
Figure 2-1 is based on the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE = 0.1
W/cm2) level for each power condition as specified in ANSI Z136.1 and
IEC 60825-1.

2.1.2 Electrical Safety
The C-60+ Series uses AC and DC voltages. There are no user

serviceable components in the laser and integrated RF power supply. All
units are designed to be operated as assembled. Warranty will be voided
if the laser head is disassembled.
12
DANGER!
To avoid potentially fatal electrical shock hazards from electrical
equipment, follow all applicable electrical codes such as (in the U.S.)
the National Electrical Code.
2.1.2.1 Recommended Precautions and Guidelines
The following precautions must be observed by everyone when working

with potentially hazardous electrical circuitry:
DANGER!
When working with electrical power systems, the rules for electrical
safety must be strictly followed. Failure to do so could result in the
exposure to lethal levels of electricity.
1. Disconnect main power lines before working on any electrical equip-

ment when it is not necessary for the equipment to be operating.
2. Do not short or ground the power supply output. Protection against
possible hazards requires proper connection of the ground terminal
on the power cable, and an adequate external ground. Check these
connections at the time of installation, and periodically thereafter.
3. Never work on electrical equipment unless there is another person
nearby who is familiar with the operation and hazards of the equip-
ment, and who is competent to administer first aid.
4. When possible, keep one hand away from the equipment to reduce
the danger of current flowing through the body if a live circuit is
touched accidentally.
5. Always use approved, insulated tools.
13
2.2 Safety Features and Compliance with

Government Requirements
The following features are incorporated into the instrument to conform to
several government requirements:
United States of America:
The applicable United States Government requirements are contained in
21 CFR, Subchapter J, Part 1040 administered by the Center for Devices
and Radiological Health (CDRH).
Integrators who incorporate a C-60+ Series laser into other products that
they introduce into United States commerce are defined in the law as
manufacturers who are thus required to manufacture their products to
conform to the Federal standard, certify them, and submit product reports
to the CDRH.
For jurisdictions outside of the United States, it is the responsibility of the
buyer of this laser device to ensure that it meets the local laser safety
requirements.
Europe:
The European Community requirements for product safety are specified in
the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) (published in 2014/35/EU). The Low
Voltage Directive requires that lasers comply with the standard EN 61010-
1/IEC 61010-1 “Safety Requirements For Electrical Equipment For
Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use” and EN 60825-1/IEC 60825-1
“Safety of Laser Products”. Compliance of this laser with the European
requirements is certified by the CE mark.
2.2.1 Laser Classification
Governmental standards and requirements specify that the laser must be

classified according to the output power or energy and the laser
wavelength. The C-60+ Series is classified as Class 4 based on 21 CFR,
Subchapter J, Part 1040, section 1040.10 (c) and/or IEC/EN 60825-
1;2007, Clause 8 and IEC/EN 60825-1:2014, Clause 4. In this manual, the
classification will be referred to as Class 4.
2.2.2 Protective Housing
The laser head is enclosed in a protective housing that prevents human

access to radiation in excess of the limits of Class radiation as specified in
the 21CFR, Part 1040 Section 1040.10 (f)(1) and EN 60825-1/IEC 60825-
1 Clause 6.2 except for the output beam, which is Class 4.
14
2.2.3 Protective Covers (Safety Interlocks)
The RF power module and laser head covers are not interlocked. These
covers should never be removed. There are no user-serviceable
components inside.
WARNING!
Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation expo-
sure.
DANGER!
2.3 Compliance to Standards Relevant to CE Mark

C-60+ Series lasers are OEM products, and are sold as components for
integration into complete laser systems by a system integrator. These
products are tested and CE Marked as independent products. For specific
details regarding what applicable compliance directives and standards the
products have been tested to, please refer to the Declaration of
Conformity which is available upon request from Coherent, per contact
information on p. ii of this manual.
Compliance to applicable standards for a particular laser tool
incorporating C-60+ Series lasers must be demonstrated by the
manufacturer of the complete system. The primary issue for the system
integrator is to design covers, shielding, grounding, routing of electrical
cable assemblies, and control elements with the proper safety features so
that during subsequent testing the system meets the appropriate
standards.
Coherent recommends the following guidelines to control the amount of
radiated interference:
• Use high quality cables and connectors for all electrical connec-
tions
• Verify grounding of cable shields, generally at both ends of the
cable
15
2.4 Environmental Compliance

This section describes compliance with various environmental regulator
directives to identify hazardous substances.
2.4.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility
Compliance of this laser with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Description and Specifications
3 DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
3.1 Introduction
In this section, specifications and characteristics of the C-60+ Series laser
will be discussed. Characteristics to be discussed include mechanical,
thermal, electrical, and optical interfaces; and environmental requirements
and limitations.
The C-60+ Series laser is a sealed-off, RF-excited CO2 lasers, capable of
continuous wave (CW) or modulated operation. From the laser safety
point of view, this laser is considered to be a component and must be
integrated into a system by a qualified original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) prior to delivery to the end user. See “Safety Features and
Compliance with Government Requirements” (p. 14) for a complete
discussion of laser safety issues.
3.2 Purpose of This Manual

This manual is designed to assist the original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) during the integration of the C-60+ Series OEM laser. It contains
information on the performance and operation of the laser as well as
installation and control methods.

3.3 Specifications and Input Requirements

Table 3-2 (p. 30) provides specifications, configurations, and facility
requirements for C-60+ Series lasers. Refer to the data sheet (available
online at www.coherent.com) for power input specifications and
requirements.
Figure 3-1 illustrates the baseline configurations (i.e., without any optional
hardware additions or deletions) of the C-60+ Series laser. Each laser
system consists of a laser head assembly and an integrated radio
frequency (RF) power supply. The RF power module converts 48 VDC,
≤ 11.5 A power to radio frequency power.
Connection of the customer-suppl ied DC power s upply to the
C-60+ Series is via a barrier strip with screw terminals on the RF power
module. These terminals should also be used for the connection of wires
for remote voltage sensing. Such sensing is recommended to control the
voltage at the input to the RF power module more precisely.
3.4 Hardware Overview

The C-60+ Series is a waveguide, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. RF electric
fields provided by the RF power module excite the CO2 gas mixture. The
standard configuration of these lasers operates at wavelengths between
9 µm and 11 µm in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
27
3.4.1 DC Input Power
DC input power is provided by the user through customer-supplied bus

wiring, which goes to the RF power module. The RF power module
converts this DC electrical power into RF power, which is used to excite
the gas in the laser head. The DC power supply requirements are
discussed in detail in the subsection entitled “DC Power Supply
Requirements” (p. 51).
3.5 Cooling Requirements

Total heat dissipation for the laser is specified in Table 3-2 (p. 30). The
laser head typically dissipates 650 W from its base surface while the RF
power module typically dissipates 350 W for a total typical heat dissipation
of 1000 W (m ax imum total heat di ssipation is < 1200 W). The
C-60+ Series must be provided adequate cooling to keep the laser
operating temperature within acceptable limits. The cooling method that is
used must not induce stresses that will result in misalignment of the laser
resonator. The C-60+ Series heat sinks are designed so that the
assembled structure remains free of excessive stress. Installation
requirements related to cooling of the air-cooled version of the
C-60+ Series lasers are discussed in detail in the subsection entitled “Air
Cooling” (p. 40).
3.5.1 Comparison of Air Cooling & Liquid Cooling (Reference)
Air cooling and liquid cooling each have distinct advantages. Table 3-1
describes the factors to be taken into consideration when choosing a
cooling system for a laser module.
Consideration should also be taken if condensable vapors are present and
to take suitable measures to purge sensitive areas, such as optical
surfaces, with a suitable gas.
Table 3-1. Comparison: The Benefits of Air Cooling vs. Liquid Cooling Methods
Air Cooling Liquid Cooling

• Low in cost • Offers the highest process stability
• Low in complexity • Can yield the most compact arrangement
• Low service requirements • Suitable for applications in which the ambient air
• Easier to install temperature exceeds 40ºC
• Better for applications in which the ambient air is
laden with particulates
• Easier to make a hermetically sealed system
28
3.5.2 Liquid Cooling Option of the C-60+ Series
Installation requirements related to the liquid cooling option of the

C-60+ Series lasers are discussed in detail in “Liquid Cooling” (p. 41).
This section is a quick overview only. Table 3-2 shows the recommended
connection from the customer-supplied refrigerated recirculator to the
C-60+ Series laser systems.
Coherent recommends that the coolant water flowing from the customer-
supplied refrigerated recirculator flow to the laser head, then to the RF
power module. Although not shown in Figure 4-2 on page 34, a flow
interlock device must be provided by the customer in the cooling-water-
return line to detect the presence of cooling water with the required flow
rate, and to shut down the laser if adequate coolant flow is not present.
NOTICE!
To avoid damage to the laser, never operate the laser without a supply
of cooling water meeting the requirements indicated in Table 3-2 or
adequate air cooling.
3.6 Laser Head

The laser head takes RF input power and converts some of it to laser
radiation. The rest of the RF input power is exhausted as waste heat. For
the C-60+ Series air-cooled lasers, the waste heat is exhausted into the
ambient air. In C-60+ Series liquid-cooled lasers, this waste heat is
exhausted into the liquid cooling water which flows through the laser head.
The laser head consists of the folded optical waveguide resonator, the all-
metal gas envelope structure, and RF power module. Infrared laser
radiation is emitted from the optical aperture. Pictures and dimensional
drawings for the C-60+ Series lasers are shown in Figure 3-1 (p. 26).
3.7 RF Power Module

The C-60+ Series RF power module converts DC input power to RF
energy, which is sent to the laser head. Heat from the RF power module is
exhausted into the surrounding air or liquid cooling water. An RJ-45-type
connector is used to control the laser system. All of the user interfaces
(DC power, cooling water, and signal interface) are on one panel of the
RF power module.

Utility Requirements and System Installation
4 UTILITY REQUIREMENTS AND

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
4.1 Introduction
This section covers unpacking and installation of the C-60+ Series lasers.
Detailed operating instructions are given in “Laser Operation” (p. 57) in the
operator’s manual.
4.2 Unpacking and Inspection

Before unpacking the laser components, inspect the shipping carton for
evidence of rough handling, and note any damage. If damage to the
shipping carton is evident, request the carrier’s agent be present when the
unit is unpacked. Inform the shipping carrier and Coherent of any
evidence of damage in shipment. The buyer and shipping carrier is
responsible for any damage which occurs during shipment.
4.2.1 Verifying Delivery
The shipping container contains the following:

• Laser head and integral RF power module
• Final Test Sheet
If any of these items are missing, report this to Coherent immediately.

DIAMOND C-60+ Series OEM Laser Preinstallation Manual
4.2.2 Protective Shipping Tape
The front of the C-60+ Series laser head is protected by a blue adhesive
film or tape (see Figure 4-1 on page 32). This tape is designed to protect
the optics during shipping and must be removed prior to operating the
laser.
NOTICE!
To avoid damage, the blue protective tape must be removed BEFORE
operating the laser.
Figure 4-1. Protective Shipping Tape
4.2.2.1 Tape Removal
To remove the protective tape:
1. Pinch one corner of the tape between the thumb and index fingers.
2. Gently pull the tape off of the laser.
3. Discard the tape and do not place the tape anywhere near or on the
laser.
32
4.3 Safety Issues in Laser Installation

Installation of the C-60+ Series lasers must comply with all applicable
electrical safety and laser safety laws and regulations. Review “Laser
Safety” (p. 9) for important information relating to safety.
The negative (return) side of the DC input connection to the C-60+ Series
RF power module is connected internally to the chassis. The user must
assure that the system into which the C-60+ Series is built protects
against the possibility that the C-60+ Series laser head or RF power
module chassis could be at a hazardous voltage and that personnel could
be exposed to these voltages.
DANGER!
The laser must be secured properly to avoid the possibility of the laser
shifting unexpectedly during operation, creating a hazardous condition.
The location of the output beam of the C-60+ Series laser head is shown
in Figure 4-2 (p. 34). The laser output is emitted from the aperture shown
in the referenced figure and propagates within a full cone angle up to 5º.
The acceptance angle of the system aperture must intercept all of the
output of the laser.
It is also extremely important to understand the direction, divergence, and
magnitude of all reflections that will occur from optical surfaces. Infrared
(IR) beams, such as those from the C-60+ Series lasers, can also be
located with commercially available IR screens, such as those produced
by Macken Instruments, Inc. [tel. (707) 566-2110]. Coherent recommends
that all beam propagation paths be enclosed and that personnel operating
the laser be qualified optical technicians who are familiar with this type of
hardware.
33
4.4 Mechanical Mounting

The dimensions for the C-60+ Series laser heads are shown in Figure 4-2.
Mechanical mounting of the C-60+ Series laser head must result in no
distortion or stress the laser head in any way. Otherwise, optical alignment
and power stability could be adversely affected.

4.4.1 Mounting Considerations for the C-60+ Series
Certain aspects of specific customer applications may preclude absolute

interchangeability of laser heads. For example, for certain applications,
the sensitivity of the application to optical beam pointing errors may
require external optical realignment after the laser head is replaced in the
customer’s integrated system. Depending on the method of mounting and
the sensitivity of the integrated customer system to beam pointing errors,
even removing a laser head from the customer’s system, then replacing
the same laser head back into the customer’s system may require
external optical realignment. This external alignment would be a
repositioning of the head itself or adjustment of beam delivery mirrors
(positions and angle). Consult Coherent if there are any questions about
such interchangeability issues.
Coherent recommends use of the optional brackets (part number 1101-
12-0016 for a set of 4) that are designed for mounting the laser safely
without inducing any stress onto the laser. Care must be taken not to
induce stress onto the laser head, as optical mis-alignment of the laser
resonator can occur, which would require the laser to be returned to
Coherent for service. A mechanical drawing for this bracket is provided in
“Parts List” (p. 75) in the operator’s manual. Coherent strongly
encourages use of this bracket or a similar design in order to
accommodate temperature changes in operation while providing secure
mounting.
4.5 Ambient Air Cleanliness

Do not turn the laser on if there is water, dust, or dirt on the output
element; otherwise, damage to the coating on this optical element may
occur. To prevent such optical damage, never allow the output window to
become contaminated.
Do not allow the fins on the heat-sinking elements to become clogged with
dirt, dust, or debris. They must be cleaned periodically as indicated in
“Maintenance and Troubleshooting” (p. 71) in the operator’s manual.
The Coherent warranty covers defects in material and workmanship
relating to the output optical element, but this warranty does not cover
damage to the external output optical surface which is the result of
contamination of the surface or abrasion of the surface.
38
4.6 Ingress Protection (IP) Certification

The C-60+ Series laser has been tested in accordance with IEC 60529,
Edition 2.1 Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures. If required,
there are many resources available on the Internet to download a copy of
the IEC 60529 standard.
The Ingress Protection rating system shows the degree of protection from
both solids and liquids. The first number in this rating system indicates the
protection from solids, (typically dust and airborne particulates) for the
C-60+ Series laser. The second digit refers to protection against liquids.
The C-60+ Series has been certified as complying with level IP65 of the
standard. The descriptions for IP65 are stated below:
First Digit (6) No ingress of dust: complete protection against contact
(dust tight).
Second Digit (5) Protection against low pressure jets of water in all
directions for a limited amount of time. Water shall have no harmful
effects.
To achieve this rating on the C-60+ Series laser, the output optical
elements were sealed off for the test and no laser light output was present
during the test.
Any user wishing to clean the laser with water jets will have to adopt
similar precautions or laser warranty will be voided. Coherent is not
responsible for damage to the laser caused by not taking adequate steps
to protect the laser optical elements, in particular the output window of the
laser. The same applies to external optical elements for the machine the
laser is integrated into, or any other structural parts of the laser machine
such as control electronics, motors, drives, cables and other accessories.
A copy of the report on the testing carried out to qualify this laser at IP65
level is available on request from Coherent.
39
4.7 Air Cooling

The C-60+ Series air-cooled lasers incorporate heat sinks cooled by
forced air (blown by fans). The four fans draw 1 A of current when
supplied with the required 48 VDC electrical power. Running the fans at
higher voltages will reduce the operating life and is strongly discouraged.
The user must provide the correct voltage polarity to the fans in order for
the airflow direction and resulting volume to be sufficient to cool the laser
adequately.
4.7.1 Air Flow
Open-air flow for the laser system is critical. Therefore, Coherent requires
clear access to free air within 60 mm of the cooling fans and fins for the
laser system. The air used to cool the C-60+ Series must be clean and
free of contaminants. This requirement can be achieved by ensuring that
the air in the system or enclosure where the laser is installed is
appropriately filtered.
If air filtering is not possible, or the environment is dusty, frequent
inspection of the fans and heat sinks (depending on the severity of the
environment where the laser is located), is strongly recommended. These
parts need to be cleaned to maintain adequate laser cooling.
4.7.2 Signal Interface
Coherent uses a temperature interlock to ensure that the fans are

operating and supplying sufficient air cooling. It is recommended that both
Modulation and Control Enable be commanded to the OFF state when the
airflow interlock system detects an over-temperature fault. The system
also provides a temperature warning that should be used to alert the user
to a need for maintenance of the cooling system to return the performance
to the normal full cooling capacity. Failure to take action regarding the
temperature warning will result in poorer product performance (outside
specifications) and lesser product lifetime. These signals are listed in
Table 4-4, “Signal Interface Description and Connector Pinout,” on
page 52 and further discussed in subsections of “Laser Operation” (p. 57)
in the operator’s manual.

4.8 Liquid Cooling

The C-60+ Series liquid-cooled lasers are cooled by means of liquid
coolant. The cooling system, external to the laser head and the RF power
module, is the responsibility of and must be supplied by the user. A
schematic of the recommended configuration of the cooling system is
shown in Figure 4-3.

4.8.1 Cooling System Layout
By connecting the laser head and the RF power module in series, a single
interlock will protect the laser system.
Following the flow of coolant from the refrigerated recirculator, the laser
head is the first element reached by the coolant after it leaves the
recirculator. This assures that the laser head receives the lowest-
temperature coolant available.
To prevent inadvertent operation of the laser without adequate coolant, an
interlock must be provided so that laser operation is halted in the event
that coolant flow is not present. Refer to coolant requirements in Table 3-2
(p. 30).
41
4.8.2 Coolant Composition
The required coolant composition is a mixture of clean distilled or

deionized water containing a low toxicity corrosion inhibitor. THE USE OF
CORROSION INHIBITOR IS MANDATORY IN THE C-60+ SERIES
LASER! Coherent has tested two different solutions that will prevent
corrosion within the laser coolant circuit.
These are described in Table 4-1:

4.8.2.1 Freeze/Burst Protection
The recommended coolant mixture does not provide freeze protection;

therefore the coolant temperature must be maintained above the freezing
point of water. Since lower temperatures may occur during shipment and
storage, the C-60+ Series should never be stored or transported unless
the coolant has been completely removed by using a compressed air
supply to blow out all coolant passages.
NOTICE!
Never store or ship a C-60+ Series with coolant installed, as the
coolant may freeze and cause permanent internal damage. Always
remove the coolant prior to storage or shipment by using a
compressed air supply to blow out all coolant passages. Plug or cap
coolant inlet and outlet fittings after draining to prevent residual
coolant leaks during storage or shipment. Damage to the laser during
storage or shipment, as a result of failure to remove coolant and plug
the inlet and outlet fittings after coolant removal, is specifically
excluded from the product warranty.
43
4.8.3 Alternative Coolant Composition
An alternative coolant composition is a mixture of water and DOWFROST,

a low toxicity, corrosion inhibited, propylene glycol based heat transfer
fluid available from The Dow Chemical Company. Because this fluid
consists of propylene glycol and non-toxic corrosion inhibitors, the legal
and regulatory restrictions on its use and disposal are less demanding
than is the case for fluids containing ethylene glycol. The required mixture
is 25% to 30% DOWFROST by volume, with the balance consisting of
water. In addition to DOWFROST, alternative propylene glycol based heat
transfer fluids may also be used, as indicated in Table 4-2. In addition, for
those applications where the user determines that the higher toxicity of an
ethylene glycol based heat transfer fluid is acceptable, the fluids indicated
in Table 4-3 may be used.

1The
balance of the coolant consists of water with low mineral content.
Coherent has found that to be safe, distilled water is highly recommended

as the dilution water component of the coolant mix. Recommended
guidelines on dilution water quality are as follows:
• Chlorides and sulfates in dilution water less than 25 ppm
• Total hardness as calcium carbonate less than 100 ppm
The manufacturers listed in Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 offer prediluted
mixtures. The water dilutions indicated in these tables are appropriate only
for the undiluted product in each case.
See “Maintenance and Troubleshooting” (p. 71) in the operator’s manual
for maintenance and replacement requirements for the coolant.
NOTICE!
To prevent damage to the laser, never operate any C-60+ Series liquid-
cooled laser using only ordinary water, such as tap water or deionized
water, as a coolant. These lasers contain materials which will suffer
corrosion damage when exposed to plain water without corrosion
inhibitors. Corrosion caused by improper coolant voids the warranty.
It is important to neither use too much, nor too little corrosion inhibited
glycol in the coolant mix. Too much glycol will result in poor cooling
performance, and possibly overheating of parts of the laser system. Too
little glycol will result in reduced protection against corrosion, freezing, and
bursting. Glycol fluid levels lower than the recommended amount may
also encourage microbial growth, which can result in fouling and blockage
of the cooling system.
45
4.8.4 Freeze/Burst Protection
With the recommended alternative coolant mixes, burst protection is

assured down to a temperature of - 18°C (0°F) for the propylene glycol
based fluids (Table 4-2) and to - 27°C (- 17°F) for the ethylene glycol
based fluids (Table 4-3). Since lower temperatures may occur during
shipment and storage, C-60+ Series lasers should never be shipped or
stored unless the coolant has been drained. And it is strongly suggested
that the coolant within cooling lines of the laser system components be
blown out with dry air or Nitrogen.
NOTICE!
To avoid damage, never ship or store any C-60+ Series laser
containing coolant if it is possible it will be exposed to temperatures
below the freezing point of the coolant during such shipment or
storage. Plug or cap coolant inlet and outlet to prevent coolant leaks
during shipment or storage.
4.8.5 Re-Circulation and Coolant Flow Interlock Switch
The coolant flow interlock switch should be the last element traversed by
the coolant before it returns to the coolant filter in the return line. This
assures that the flow switch verifies that coolant is flowing through the
laser system. The flow switch must not be placed in any other position.
The interlock, which is tripped when the coolant switch indicates no flow or
low flow, cuts off AC power to the RF power module to prevent the system
from overheating.
4.8.6 Signal Interface
The signal interface in the laser interlock system may be used to turn the
laser off when the coolant interlock is breached. With this approach, the
laser is commanded to shut down via the signal interface, in the event that
the coolant interlock system detects a coolant fault. Coherent
recommends that both Modulation and Control Enable be commanded to
the OFF state when the coolant interlock system detects a coolant fault.
These signals are listed in Table 4-4, “Signal Interface Description and
Connector Pinout,” on page 52 and described in subsections of “Laser
Operation” (p. 57) in the operator’s manual.
46
4.8.7 Thermal Shutdown Circuit
The C-60+ Series lasers have a thermal protection circuit that protects the
system at case temperatures over 80ºC. Coherent recommends, however,
that the OEM install sensors that detect coolant flow and shuts the laser
down in the event of loss of coolant.
The system also provides a high temperature warning. This warning is
used to alert the user to the need of maintenance in order to return the
cooling system performance back to normal, full cooling capacity. Failure
to take action regarding the temperature warning will result in poorer
product performance (outside specifications) and lesser product life time.
4.8.8 DC Power Relay
The recommended DC power relay used to cut DC power to the laser off,
in the event of cooling system failure, can also be used as part of the laser
safety interlock system. Similarly, if the signal interface is used to shut
down the laser when there is a cooling system fault, the signal interface
can be used to shut down the laser in the event that there is a breach of a
safety interlock. The design of the interlock controls must be in
compliance with applicable safety standards, including those described in
“Laser Safety” (p. 9).
4.8.9 Condensation of Water Vapor
If the coolant temperature is below the dew point of the ambient air, water
will condense out of the air onto the outside of the laser head. It will also
form onto the outside surface and internal surfaces of the RF power
module. Condensation can damage the output optical element of the laser
head when the laser is turned on, and could damage internal components
of the RF power module if power is applied while condensate is present.
NOTICE!
To avoid damage to the laser head and RF power module, never allow
the coolant temperature to fall below the dew point of the ambient air.
Turn the coolant flow off if the laser will be off or stored for an
extended period of time in humid conditions.
47
If necessary, the laser system can operate with coolant temperatures

slightly below the dew point of the ambient air. This requires special
procedures to be followed, such as shutting off the coolant flow at all times
when the laser is not producing laser output. Contact Coherent Customer
Service for more information about this option before attempting to
operate the system in ambient air below the dew point.
NOTICE!
To avoid possible damage to the laser head, never attempt to change
the coolant fittings at the locations where the coolant enters the laser
head. If the fittings must be changed for any reason, return the laser
head to Coherent to be serviced by Coherent technicians.
4.8.10 Coolant Fittings on Laser System
The C-60+ Series liquid-cooled lasers have 6 mm O.D. tubing for the
connection interface. The user must supply an appropriate compression
fitting to make the connection with the rest of the user’s system.
COOLANT SUPPLY
COOLANT RETURN
Figure 4-5. C-60+ Series Liquid Cooling Connections
48
4.8.11 Cooling Capacity
The cooling system must have sufficient capacity to maintain the coolant
temperature at the outlet of the refrigerated recirculator within the range
given in Table 3-2 (p. 30). With the laser operating at its maximum output
power, the cooling system must dissipate up to 575 W. See “Maintenance
and Troubleshooting” (p. 71) in the operator’s manual for maintenance
and replacement requirements for the coolant.
4.8.12 Coolant Filtering
Coherent recommends that the user incorporate coolant filtering in the

coolant return line to avoid the accumulation of debris in the cooling
system, as shown in Figure 4-3. The filter should trap particles larger than
30 μm to 50 μm in size, unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer of
the refrigerated recirculator.
4.8.13 Coolant Flow Rate and Pressure
Requirements on coolant flow rate are listed in Table 3-2 (p. 30). To
prevent damage to the laser head or the RF power module, the gauge
pressure of the coolant at the laser head and at the RF power module
must not exceed 100 psig (i.e. the gauge pressure − the difference
between the absolute pressure of the coolant and the absolute pressure of
the ambient air − must not exceed 7kg/cm2, or 690 kPa). Note that the
gauge pressure at the laser system includes the effect of the gravitational
pressure change if the refrigerated recirculator is mounted much higher
than the laser system.
NOTICE!
Exceeding the maximum allowed gauge pressure in the laser head or
RF power module, even for a short period of time, may cause irrevers-
ible damage and result in permanent coolant leaks.
Depending on the customer’s overall cooling system design, portions of

the cooling system other than the laser head and the RF power module,
may limit the maximum-allowed gauge pressure of the coolant to a lower
pressure than the value noted above for the laser head and the RF power
module.
49
4.8.14 Pressure Drop
The pressure drop from the coolant outlet to the coolant inlet of the
refrigerated recirculator will depend on many factors, including:
• Flow rate
• Temperature
• Length and inside diameter of coolant hoses and connections
• Coolant composition
To achieve the minimum flow rates given in Table 3-2 (p. 30), provide a
pressure drop of no more than 22 psi (1.55 kg/cm2) between coolant inlet
and coolant outlet of the laser. In addition, there is some pressure drop in
the cooling lines, which depends primarily on the diameter and length of
these lines.
4.9 Electrical Power Connection

The C-60+ Series lasers require 48 VDC input DC power. This power is
carried from the power source to the system through the 48 VDC power
wires. The maximum current required is 20 A.
The negative (return) side of the DC input connection to the C-60+ Series
RF power module is connected internally to the chassis. The user must
assure that the system into which the C-60+ Series is built protects
against the possibility that the C-60+ Series chassis could be at a
hazardous voltage and that personnel could be exposed to these
voltages.
DANGER!
Coherent strongly recommends that the user review the precautions

described in “Laser Safety” (p. 9) regarding electrical safety before using
the C-60+ Series lasers. It is the user’s responsibility to provide circuit
breakers and/or fusing of the AC power source in accordance with all
applicable laws and regulations.
50
4.9.1 DC Power Supply Requirements
The following are the requirements for the customer-supplied DC power

supplies.
DC Voltage: 48 VDC measured at the terminals.

Peak Current: 35 A for a minimum of 1 ms with a
maximum voltage drop of 1.5 V
Regulation: < ± 2%
Regulation Sensing: Remote at load
Ripple and Noise: < 1% p-p (20 MHz BW limit)
Overload and Short Automatic Recovery
Circuit Protect:
4.9.1.1 DC Power Supply Cabling Requirements
Coherent recommends the use of remote voltage sense/regulation at

the C-60+ Series. This requires a 4-wire cable (2 supply currents and
2 voltage senses).
The following requirement minimizes the voltage loss from supply to the
C-60+ Series:
Wire length (in Meters) AWG

0-2 2 x 17 or 14
2-3 2 x 15 or 12
3-5 2 x 13 or 10
51
4.10 Control Signal Connection

Electrical control of the C-60+ Series lasers is achieved via an RJ-45
connector built into the system. The signals carried on each of the pins
are indicated in Table 4-4. Details about controlling the laser through the
signal interface are discussed in “Laser Operation” (p. 57) in the
operator’s manual.

temperature of 0ºC or below, and a duty cycle of 100% represents a temperature of 100º C or
above.

2) These specifications are subject to change.
52
NOTICE!
Coherent highly recommends use of shielded interface cables. The
interface cable shield must connect to the chassis ground of the
controller. In addition to proper shielding, this shield provides a
secondary connection for the signal ground (Pin 8).
A floating ground connection (use of un-shielded interface cable or no

return path between the host control electronics and the laser) can
present an unsafe condition and result in unstable or unexpected
operation of the laser. This condition can arise when the control
signal ground connection (Pin 8) is lost and the Control Enable (Pin 7)
and Modulation (Pin 1) remain high. Therefore, Coherent strongly
recommends that a second safety ground be provided either via a
shielded control cable or common potential chassis mounting
between the laser head and the control electronics. Inadequate or
nonexistent grounding between the laser and the external control
system can result in loss of control of the laser and damage to the
laser electronics or the external control electronics.
