Addendum

ATTENTION - ATTENTION - ATTENTION : Laser Gear Is NOT Lighting, Sound, Or Video Gear. Please Take Extra Care With ALL Cases. NEVER Bump Them Up Or Down The Ramp Or Doorways. Stop Get Help. Regardless Of Contents. Never Run Them Up The Ramp, Stop And Get Assistance. The "Silver Rule" Is Slow and Overly Cautious.

NEATNESS:
Cables And Hoses Should Be Routed In Such A Way To Not Only Be Safe For Public And Backstage Access, But Look Intentional Or Clean. This Is Secondary To Functionality. Time Permitting, It Is Expected For All Indoor Shows. It Also Offers Ease In Troubleshooting.

Trouble Shooting

T-1 ARM ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
If Mirror Arms Are Missing Or Eccentric To Beam Remove Front Cover Plate on Beam table (4' x 1'), & Retrieve Small Slotted Screwdriver From Hole # 1 On Top Of Table ( Far House Left Down Stage Corner ).

Inside You Will See A 24 Ch. Driver Card, Channel Numbers Are Printed On The Top Row Above Blue Potentiometer ( Pots ). Each Channel Has Two Pots., Top Is GAIN & Bottom Is OFFSET. With The Channel Down Adjust The Offset Pot So That Arm Is Out Of The Beam Path, 3/16" +/-. Next Bring That Same Channel Up To Full, Now Adjust The GAIN Pot So That The Arm Is In The Center Of The Beam. Turn That Same Channel Back Down & Check The OFFSET Again. (Make Sure That The Ch. LED (light) On The Card Is Not RED, If So Back Off OFFSET Pot Until Red Is Gone. You Will Then Need To Adjust Arm With Allen Set & Restart With Procedure Agian. LED Should Be Off When Channel Is Off & Green When Faded Up.


T-2 CONSOLE IS NOT RESPONDING TO CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
Press SETUP On Console Display Should Read "BEAM TABLE T15", If Not Hold MODIFY And Rotate Wheel, You Will Have 3 Choices. Be Aware Sometimes Channel 1 Is Soft Patched to Channel 14, That Is Fine, Don't Use Ch.1 Use Ch.14.


T-3 LASER IS ON AND DRAWING CURRENT BUT HAS LOW OR NO OUTPUT
Check To Make Sure That Cavity Shutter On Top Of The Laser Head Is Not In The Way Of The Beam.

If No Beam Is Present Make Sure Current Is Being Used ( 50 Amp Scale On Power Supply Meter ), If So Set Output At 15 Amps And Proceed.

If No Beam, Try Gently Wiggling Or Seating The Front & Rear Mirror Mounts On Laser Head.

If Beam Is Weak, Adjust X & Y Adjustment Screws On Back Of Laser Head. Located Near Gray Umbilical ( Upper Right Hole & Lower Left Hole ). Make Sure You Are Using The 1 Or 5 Watt Scale On Power Supply Meter. Turn X Then Y Screw To Achieve Greatest Output, Go Back And Do X & Y Again.

Appendix

A-1 LASER WARM UP, OPERATION & COOL DOWN PROCEDURE
Start Laser With Current @ 2 On Knob, Field Knob @ 0. Set METER Switch To The 50 AMP Setting, Reading The Top Scale Adjust The Current Knob So That Needle Is @ 15 AMP. 15 AMP Is Considered "IDLE" Power (20AMP for Large Frame Lasers ex: 20watt). Use This Spot For Warming Up The Laser & Cooling It Down. Do All Your Focusing @ IDLE, Also Between Rehearsals & Performances. Warm Laser @ IDLE For Minimum Of 5 Min.

Regarding Full Power, Turn Current Up In 10 AMP Increments. Waiting 10 Sec. Between Increments, Goal Is 32-35 AMP. Next, Set METER Switch To 1 or 5 WATT Scale, And Note Where Needle Is. Now Turn Up FIELD Knob Slowly To 80%, You Should See A Increase In Output Power.

Cool Down Is All The Above In Reverse Order: FIELD To 0, Current To 15 AMP In 10 AMP Increments & IDLE Laser For 2-5 Min. Next Switch Breaker Off & Allow Water To Continue To Run For 2 - 5 Min.Or Cool To The Touch @ Drain.


A-2 WATER BLOW OUT PROCEDURE
After Cool Down Procedure, Shut Off Pump And Then Main Water Head. Unscrew Hose From Nozzle at Head, And Connect To Air Compressor. Before Starting Compressor Make Sure That It Is In The Start Position ie: Turned Back All The Way To The Left, You Will See The Word START on The Knob Shaft. Start Compressor Switch Near AC Cord. Slowly Open Air Flow ( To The Right ). Watch PSI Gauge On Pump Assembly, Do Not Exceed 40 PSI. Look For Output At Drain, If All Is Fine Let System Drain Until It Starts Spurting Or Coughing ( 5 - 10 Min, Varies Due To Hose Length ). At This Point Turn Up Air Pressure To 60 PSI On Compressor Knob Shaft. However It Will Still Register 30 PSI +/-, On Pump Gauge. Water Will Continue To Cough, 2-3 Min. Later Shut OFF Compressor.
