Laser Off/On switch questions
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 11:23 pm
Hi Guys,
I would like to have an additional switch to the emergency and main power, which I can control the tube mainly for running dry runs without the laser firing. My question is - where do I put the laser off/on switch ?
One option will be to have a separate mains line to the laser PSU - and put the switch in that line - this will be high voltage - 240V
Another option will be to put the switch on the PWM wire from the 708 controller to the laser PSU - is this OK?
Have seen someone did put a switch in series to the WP line on the PSU - is this a good idea ?
Many thanks
Isaac
