Terms Certain terms are used throughout this manual or on the equipment labels. Please familiarize yourself with their deﬁnitions and signiﬁcance. Danger: Imminent hazards which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Warning: Potential hazards which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Caution: Potential hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. Caution: Potential hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, may result in product damage. Note: Points of particular interest for more efﬁcient or convenient equipment operation; additional information or explanation concerning the subject under discussion. General hazards Following are descriptions of general hazards and unsafe practices that could result in death, severe injury, or product damage. Speciﬁc warnings and cautions not appearing in this section are found throughout the manual. Danger serious personal injury This Class IV laser product emits invisible infrared laser radiation in the 10.6 µm CO2 wavelength band. Do not allow laser radiation to enter the eye by viewing direct or reﬂected laser energy. CO2 laser radiation can be reﬂected from metallic objects even though the surface is darkened. Direct or diffuse laser radiation can inﬂict severe corneal injuries leading to permanent eye damage or blindness. All personnel must wear eye protection suitable for 10.6 µm CO2 radiation when in the same area as an exposed laser beam. Eyewear protects against scattered energy but is not intended to protect against direct viewing of the beam—never look directly into the laser output aperture or view scattered laser reﬂections from metallic surfaces. Enclose the beam path whenever possible. Exposure to direct or diffuse CO2 laser radiation can seriously burn human or animal tissue, which may cause permanent damage. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 1 laser safety Hazard information Danger serious personal injury Warning serious personal injury This product is not intended for use in explosive, or potentially explosive, atmospheres. U.S. customers should refer to and follow the laser safety precautions described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136.1-2000 document, Safe Use of Lasers. Procedures listed in this Standard include the appointment of a Laser Safety Ofﬁcer (LSO), operation of the product in an area of limited access by trained personnel, servicing of equipment only by trained and authorized personnel, and posting of signs warning of the potential hazards. European customers should appoint a Laser Safety Ofﬁcer (LSO) who should refer to and follow the laser safety precautions described in EN 60825-1—Safety of Laser Products. Warning serious personal injury Materials processing can generate air contaminants such as vapors, fumes, and/or particles that may be noxious, toxic, or even fatal. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for materials being processed should be thoroughly evaluated and the adequacy of provisions for fume extraction, ﬁltering, and venting should be carefully considered. Review the following references for further information on exposure criteria: ANSI Z136.1-2000, Safe Use of Lasers, section 7.3. U.S. Government’s Code of Federal Regulations: 29 CFR 1910, Subpart Z. Threshold Limit Values (TLV’s) published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). It may be necessary to consult with local governmental agencies regarding restrictions on the venting of processing vapors. Warning possible personal injury 2 The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those speciﬁed herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual laser safety Hazard information Fenix II Laser Markers should be installed and operated in manufacturing or laboratory facilities by trained personnel only. Due to the considerable risks and hazards associated with the installation and operational use of any equipment incorporating a laser, the operator must follow product warning labels and instructions to the user regarding laser safety. Exercise safe operating practices per ANSI Z136.1-2000 at all times when actively lasing. To prevent exposure to direct or scattered laser radiation, follow all safety precautions speciﬁed throughout this manual. Do not place your body or any combustible object in the path of the laser beam. Always wear safety glasses or protective goggles with side shields to reduce the risk of damage to the eyes when operating the laser. A CO2 laser is an intense heat source and will ignite most materials under the proper conditions. Never operate the laser in the presence of ﬂammable or explosive materials, gases, liquids, or vapors. The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those speciﬁed herein may result in exposure to hazardous invisible laser radiation, damage to, or malfunction of the laser. Severe burns will result from exposure to the laser beam. Safe operation of the laser requires the use of an external beam block to safely block the beam from traveling beyond the desired work area. Use a water-cooled beam dump or power meter, or similar non-scattering, noncombustible material as the beam block. Never use organic material or metals as the beam blocker; organic materials, in general, are apt to combust or melt and metals act as specular reﬂectors that may create a serious hazard outside the immediate work area. Other hazards The following hazards would be typical for this product family when incorporated for intended use: (A) risk of injury when lifting or moving the unit; (B) risk of exposure to hazardous laser energy through unauthorized removal of access panels, doors, or protective barriers; (C) risk of exposure to hazardous laser energy and injury due to failure of personnel to use proper eye protection and/or failure to adhere to applicable laser safety procedures; (D) risk of exposure to hazardous or lethal voltages through unauthorized removal of covers, doors, or access panels; (E) generation of hazardous air contaminants that may be noxious, toxic, or even fatal. Disposal If a situation occurs where the Fenix II Laser Marker is rendered non-functional and cannot be repaired, it may be returned, at the User’s expense, to SYNRAD, Inc. who will ensure adequate disassembly, recycling and/or disposal of the product.

Figure 1 Fenix II hazard label and CE label locations 4 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual laser safety Agency compliance The Agency compliance section includes subsections: ■ Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) requirements ■ Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements ■ European Union (EU) requirements The Fenix II Laser Marker is designed to comply with certain United States (U.S.) and European Union (EU) regulations. These regulations impose product performance requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and product safety characteristics for industrial, scientiﬁc, and medical (ISM) equipment. The speciﬁc provisions to which systems containing the Fenix II Laser Marker must comply are identiﬁed and described in the following paragraphs. In the U.S., laser safety requirements are governed by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) under the auspices of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) while radiated emission standards fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Outside the U.S., laser safety and emissions standards are governed by European Union (EU) Directives and Standards. In the matter of CE-compliant products, SYNRAD, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the compliance of the system into which the product is integrated, other than to supply and/or recommend laser components that are CE marked for compliance with applicable European Union Directives. Because OEM products are intended for incorporation as components in a laser processing system, they do not meet all of the Standards for complete laser processing systems as speciﬁed by 21 CFR, Part 1040 or EN 60825-1. SYNRAD, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the compliance of the system into which OEM laser products are integrated. Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) requirements Fenix II Laser Markers comply with requirements for Class IV laser products imposed by the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Under the Act, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a performance standard in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for laser products. This performance standard (21 CFR, Subchapter J, Part 1040.10) was developed to protect public health and safety by imposing requirements upon manufacturers of laser products to provide an indication of the presence of laser radiation, to provide the user with certain means to control radiation, and to assure that all personnel are adequately warned of potential hazards through the use of product labels and instructions. Product features incorporated into the design of Fenix II Laser Markers to comply with CDRH requirements are integrated as panel controls or indicators, internal circuit elements, or input/output signal interfaces. Speciﬁcally, these features include a keyswitch, lase and laser ready indicators, emergency off button, remote interlock, and a ﬁve-second delay between power on (Ready indicator) and lasing. Table 1, Class IV safety features, summarizes Fenix II product features, indicating the type and description of features and whether those features are required by CDRH regulations. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements The United States Communication Act of 1934 vested the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with the authority to regulate equipment that emits electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency spectrum. The purpose of the Communication Act was to prevent harmful electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting authorized radio communication services. The FCC regulations that govern laser equipment are fully described in 47 CFR. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 5 laser safety Agency compliance SYNRAD’s Fenix II Laser Marker has been tested and found to comply by demonstrating performance characteristics that have met or exceeded the requirements of CFR 47, Part 15. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. With respect to instances of electromagnetic interference by other devices, SYNRAD deﬁnes marking variations to be an “acceptable loss of performance” as long as the following criteria are met: (1) there is no damage to the marking equipment or machinery into which it is integrated, (2) the marking variation does not cause a hazardous or unsafe condition, (3) the marking variation is apparent to the operator, and (4) normal operation is recovered after removal of the interfering signal. FCC information to the user NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. FCC caution to the user The Federal Communications Commission warns the user that changes or modiﬁcations of the unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. European Union (EU) requirements Laser safety standards Under the Low Voltage Directive, 73/23/EEC, the European Norm (EN) document EN 60825-1 was developed to protect persons from laser radiation by imposing requirements upon manufacturers of laser products to provide an indication of laser radiation; to classify laser products according to degree of hazard; to require both user and manufacturer to establish procedures so that proper precautions are adopted; to ensure adequate warning of hazards associated with accessible radiation through signs, labels, and instructions; to improve control of laser radiation through protective features; and to provide safe usage of laser products by specifying user control measures. Fenix II Laser Markers are designed to comply with the requirements imposed by EN 60825-1 for Class IV laser products. Table 1, Class IV safety features, summarizes Fenix II product features and whether those features are required by European Union regulations. Fenix II Laser Markers are designed to comply with the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC that covers electrical equipment designed to operate at voltages between 50 V and 1000 VAC. Because Fenix II is intended for incorporation as a component of a laser marking system and is dependent upon the user application and installation, additional warning labels and safety barriers may be required to protect the operator of the system. The ﬁnal system and installation should be evaluated to meet the requirements of EN 60825-1 and the Low Voltage Directive. 6 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual laser safety Agency compliance Table 1 Class IV safety features Feature Location/Description Keyswitch Rear panel control Required by: CDRH EN60825-1 Yes Yes Emergency Off Side panel control button Functions as a beam attenuator to disable RF driver/laser output Yes Yes Ready indicator Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes No On / Off / Reset Keyswitch controls power to laser electronics.

Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 7 laser safety Agency compliance Electromagnetic interference standards The European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, 89/336/EEC, is the sole Directive developed to address electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues in electronic equipment. In particular, the Directive calls out European Norm (EN) documents that deﬁne the emission and immunity standards for speciﬁc product categories. Fenix II Laser Markers have demonstrated performance characteristics that have met or exceeded the requirements of EMC directive 89/336/EEC. In accordance with Machinery Directive, 89/392/EEC. Article 1, paragraph 4 and 5, the Machinery Directive does not apply to this device. In consideration of the incorporation of the Fenix II Laser Marker into devices that may fall under the deﬁnition of a “machine”, SYNRAD, Inc. considers the application of the EMC Directive as sufﬁcient evidence that the Fenix II will not compromise the compliance of the “machine” into which it is incorporated.

The order of information presented in this section is the same as the order of tasks that you need to perform. The best way to get Fenix II ready for operation is to start at Unpacking and work your way through WinMark Pro software. This chapter contains the following information: ■ Introduction – explains the evolution of Fenix II and describes the basic marking setup. ■ Unpacking – provides important information about unpacking your Fenix II Laser Marker. ■ Inventory – describes all components shipped with your Fenix II Laser Marker. ■ Mounting – explains Fenix II mounting requirements. ■ Connecting – explains how to connect cables and install the Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) in your PC. ■ WinMark Pro Version 4 software – describes system requirements and installation of WinMark Pro software, which is used to create and mark laser graphics. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 11 getting started Introduction Fenix II is a continuation of SYNRAD’s ﬁrst fully integrated laser marking solution—the Fenix Laser Marker, which is currently being used in customer applications throughout the world. New Fenix II design features include a streamlined membrane panel, a DB25 connector for marking head I/O, and a DB-9 connector from the laser that provides two additional status signals. Fenix II marking setup A typical Fenix II Laser Marker setup is shown in Figure 1-1 and consists of the following components: ■ SYNRAD’s Fenix II Laser Marker with Fiber Link Controller Card ■ SYNRAD’s WinMark Pro laser marking software You will need to supply the following items: ■ Personal computer with one open PCI bus slot and one open USB port (see WinMark Pro software later in this section for system requirements) ■ Mounting platform for Fenix II ■ Adjustable marking surface (Z-axis) ■ Beam enclosure shield Fiber Link Controller Card Fenix II EMERGENCY OFF TEST MARK Fiber Optic Cable READY LASE II Beam Enclosure Shield Adjustable Marking Surface AC Line Cord Note: To accurately focus the laser beam on the marking surface, a Z-axis adjustment should be provided on either the marking surface or on the mounting structure. Figure 1-1 Typical Fenix II setup 12 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual getting started Unpacking The Unpacking section includes subsections:  Incoming inspection  Packaging guidelines Incoming inspection Upon arrival, inspect all shipping containers for signs of damage. If you discover shipping damage, document the damage (photographically if possible), and then immediately notify the shipping carrier and SYNRAD, Inc. The shipping carrier is responsible for any damage that occurs during transportation from SYNRAD, Inc. to your receiving dock. Packaging guidelines  To prevent equipment damage or loss of small components, use care when removing packaging materials.  Save all shipping containers and packaging materials, including covers and plugs. Use these specialized packing materials when shipping the marking head to another facility.  After unpacking, review the Inventory section and verify that all components are on hand.  When repackaging a marking head for shipment, be sure to remove all accessory items not originally attached to the head.  When shipping the head without a focusing lens attached, remove the anodized metal disc from inside the red plastic lens cover and fasten it over the lens opening using the three lens mounting screws. This keeps the optical scanner mirrors from being damaged.

AC Line Cord – supplies AC line power to Fenix II. Fenix II Laser Marker Operator’s Manual – provides Fenix II setup, operation, and maintenance information. Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) – communicates with and allows remote computer control of the Fenix II Laser Marker. The FLCC requires one open full-height PCI-bus slot in your personal computer. Fiber Optic Cable – optically isolates your computer from Fenix II while providing noise-free two-way communication. Drop-in T-Nuts – fastens Fenix II T-slot mounting rails to your mounting surface. Spare 10 Ampere Fuses (not shown) – spare fuses for the AC power module. Spare DB-25 Marking Head I/O Connector (not shown) – provides a mating connection when using Fenix II’s Marking Head I/O connector for Fenix II input/output capability. Spare DB-9 Laser I/O Connector (not shown) – provides a mating connection to Fenix II’s internal Laser I/O laser interface. Final Test Report (not shown) – contains data collected during the Fenix II’s ﬁnal pre-shipment tests including the actual measured working distance of the focusing lens. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 15 getting started Mounting When mounting your Fenix II Laser Marker, please ensure the following requirements are met: ■ The side-mounted cooling fan intakes as well as the rear and top cooling fan exhausts must have six inches of unobstructed clearance to allow for proper airﬂow. ■ Fenix II should be rigidly afﬁxed to a mounting structure by its mounting rails. Aluminum T-slot material, available under several trade names, makes an excellent mounting structure. ■ Fenix II can be mounted in any orientation; however, the marking surface must be parallel to the Fenix II focusing lens mount. ■ Position Fenix II so that the working distance, measured from the bottom of the focusing lens mount to the top of the marking surface (see Figures 2-4 and 2-5), matches the distance speciﬁed on the Fenix II Final Test Report. A Z-axis adjustment for either the marking surface or the mounting surface is highly recommended because the actual working distance may vary from lens to lens. ■ Whenever feasible, a beam enclosure shield should surround the beam path below the housing and around the marking area. To fasten Fenix II to your mounting structure using the aluminum T-slot rails attached to the Fenix II chassis, perform the following steps: 1 Position T-nuts in the aluminum mounting rails then thread 5/16–18 bolts (not supplied) through your mounting structure into the T-nuts and tighten. For those customers with metric T-nuts, M8 × 1.25 bolts are required. 2 If mounting Fenix II horizontally, use a bubble level to level Fenix II in both the X- and Y-axes during ﬁnal mounting. 3 Adjust the marking surface as required to ensure that it is parallel to the Fenix II focusing lens mount. 16 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual getting started Connecting The Connecting section includes subsections: ■ AC Line Cord ■ Fiber Link Controller Card Refer to Controls and indicators in the Operation chapter for illustrations showing the placement and function of rear panel connections to Fenix II. AC Line Cord To install the AC Line Cord, perform the following steps: 1 Ensure that the AC Power Switch located on the Fenix II rear panel is set to “Off” (0). 2 Locate the AC Line Cord and insert the female end of the line cord into the AC receptacle on the rear panel of Fenix II. Note: The international AC line cord, included with Fenix II units sold outside the U.S.A., is shipped without an AC plug due to the wide variety of AC power receptacles. The international line cord consists of a female IEC 320 connector on one end and three unterminated wires on the other end. A qualiﬁed electrician must connect the appropriate AC plug to the cable. The Fenix II AC input module is an autoranging module. This means the AC module automatically adjusts to any AC input voltage in the range between 85–132 VAC and 170–264 VAC; there are no adjustments or switches. Caution possible equipment damage Fenix II control circuitry may be damaged if the AC line voltage drops below 85 VAC. Ensure that the AC line voltage remains at or above 85 VAC during marking operations. Fiber Link Controller Card Important Note: We recommend that you ﬁrst install WinMark Pro before installing the Fiber Link Controller Card. This ensures that the FLCC’s PCI-bus driver is properly loaded and recognized by the computer. SYNRAD’s Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) accepts instructions from WinMark Pro® laser marking software and communicates data to Fenix II through a digital ﬁber optic cable. The Fiber Link Card is very sensitive to static electricity discharges. Because it is possible to damage the FLCC or your computer through improper handling, please follow the installation directions carefully. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 17 getting started Connecting These instructions cover installation of SYNRAD’s PCI-bus Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) in personal computers running Microsoft® Windows® Vista, XP, 2000, or NT4 operating systems. Installation will vary slightly depending on the operating system and WinMark Pro version being used. Note: In order to run on Windows® Vista operating systems, you must install WinMark Pro version 4.6.3.5558 or above. Caution possible equipment damage Static sensitive components on the Fiber Link Controller Card may be damaged if exposed to static electricity discharges. Always wear a static control wrist strap when handling the FLCC. If a static control wrist strap is not available, follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging the card. Conﬁgure the FLCC We recommend that you conﬁgure DIP switches before installation. Figure 1-3 shows factory default DIP switch settings.

Table 1-2 DIP switch functions DIP SW# Label Default Position Switch Function 1 A3 ON Card ID# MSB 2 A2 ON 3 A1 ON 4 A0 ON Card ID# LSB 5 INT OFF Fast Acting Safety Interlock (FASI) – ON enables the FASI function; OFF disables the Interlock function. When the FASI Interlock is enabled, a high level input must be present on Fenix II input IN3 for marking to proceed. 6 LG OFF Used only with DH Series Marking Heads. Because the Windows Plug and Play feature, not the user, assigns the PCI address, address switches are not important. The card identiﬁcation set by the Card ID# DIP switches will support future improvements to WinMark Pro. Card ID switches use negative logic – for example when SW1–SW4 are set to ON, the Card ID# = 0; when SW1–SW4 are set to OFF the Card ID# = 15. If SW1, SW2, and SW3 = OFF and SW4 = ON, then the Card ID# = 7. Install the FLCC To install the PCI-bus FLCC, perform the following steps: 1 Turn off your computer, but leave it plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Leaving the computer plugged in means that the computer chassis will remain grounded, enabling you to discharge harmful static electricity before handling sensitive electronic components. 2 Open the computer’s case or cover to expose the expansion slots. Locate an empty full-height PCI bus slot (the PCI-bus FLCC will not physically ﬁt in an ISA slot). 3 If there is a “space ﬁller” metal bracket covering the PCI slot, then remove the bracket. Save the screw. 4 Make sure you are grounded before handling the FLCC. While grounded, install the FLCC in the PCI slot. The gold contact ﬁngers on the card should slide into the mating PCI bus slot without using excessive force. 5 When the card is properly seated, use the screw removed in step 3 to secure the card to the computer chassis. 6 Close the computer’s case or cover. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 19 getting started Connecting Connect the Fiber Optic cable To install the Fiber Optic cable, refer to Figure 1-4 and perform the following steps: Fiber Optic Receiver Port Fiber Optic Transmitter Port Cable Latch Slot Figure 1-4 Fiber Link Controller Card connectors 1 With the back of the computer accessible, locate the Fiber Optic Receiver/Transmitter port on the FLCC and remove the rubber dust caps from the ﬁber optic ports. 2 Locate the Fiber Optic cable in the shipping box. 3 The end that attaches to the FLCC terminates into a single duplex connector. Insert the duplex connector into the Fiber Optic Receiver/Transmitter port on the FLCC. When properly connected, the latch on the connector should clip into the cable latch slot. You should not be able to remove the Fiber Optic cable without depressing the latch. 4 On the other end of the cable, connect the blue plug to the blue (upper) Fiber Optic Control port on the Fenix II rear panel. Connect the gray plug to the gray (lower) port. Note: The ﬁber optic connection is the only connection necessary to control Fenix II Laser Markers; no other connections to the FLCC are required. Verify the FLCC installation If you have not already done so, install WinMark Pro Version 4 on the marking computer. The latest version of WinMark is always available for download at the WinMark Pro web site: http://www.winmark.com. After installing WinMark Pro, follow the steps below to verify that the PCI card is properly installed. 1 Restart your computer. This forces Windows to load the newly installed PCI Device Driver (named Fenix/FH Laser Marking Devices). 2 Double-click the Shortcut to WinMark Pro icon on your desktop. 3 When WinMark Pro opens, click Tools on the Menu bar and then click General Settings…. On the Application Settings tab, locate the I/O Card Selection property and verify that the PCI card is properly identiﬁed as shown in Figure 1-5. In some cases, you may need to select the newly installed PCI card from the drop-down list. This completes the installation of your PCI-bus Fiber Link Controller Card. 110 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual getting started Connecting Figure 1-5 Application Settings tab The connections you have just completed are sufﬁcient for manual operation and testing of your Fenix II Laser Marker.

Caution Lens damage may occur if the measuring device contacts the surface of the focusing lens. Always measure the working distance from the bottom of the focusing lens mount. possible lens damage 3 Use a ruler marked in millimeters to set the working distance (Z-axis adjustment) from the bottom of the focusing lens mount to the mark surface as shown in Figure 2-5. The nominal working distance is engraved on the focusing lens mount. Because working distance is unique to each individual lens, consult the Final Test Report shipped with your Fenix II Laser Marker to determine the actual working distance of your lens. Refer to Table 3-1 in the Technical Reference chapter for FH/Fenix focusing lens speciﬁcations. EMERGENCY OFF TEST MARK READY LASE II Distance Gauge (user supplied) Part to be marked Note: The bottom of the focusing lens mount is recessed slightly and is not flush with the bottom of the Fenix chassis. Figure 2-5 Working distance measurement Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 25 operation Initial start-up Danger serious personal injury This product emits invisible infrared laser radiation at the 10.6 µm CO2 wavelength. Since direct or diffuse laser radiation can inﬂict severe corneal injuries, always wear eye protection when in the same area as an exposed laser beam. Do not allow the laser beam to contact a person. CO2 lasers emit an invisible laser beam that is capable of seriously burning human tissue. Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block while testing. 4 Plug the AC Line Cord from Fenix II into your wall outlet, then turn the AC Power Switch to “On” (1). You should hear the cooling fans start. 5 Ensure that all personnel in the area are wearing the appropriate protective eyewear. 6 Turn the Keyswitch from “Off” to “On” (clockwise). The Ready indicator should illuminate green. After a ﬁve second delay, the Lase indicator turns red to indicate that Fenix II is ready to lase. Note: In automated systems, you can leave the physical Keyswitch “On” and cycle the Remote Keyswitch Input Off/On to reset or restart the Fenix II marker. Note: During standby operation (Ready indicator on, but no Command signal applied), “tickle” pulses sent to the laser pre-ionize the gas to just below the lase threshold causing the Lase indicator to illuminate at its minimum brightness, a brightness level that may not be visible under all lighting conditions. “Tickle” pulses allow Fenix II to respond almost instantaneously to lase commands from WinMark Pro software as the beam is switched off and on during marking. 7 Press the Test Mark pushbutton. Fenix II will mark a test pattern at a default speed of 40 inches per second using 50% power (approximately 12–15 W). Use the factory test pattern, shown in Figure 2-6, to locate the center of the marking ﬁeld to aid in initial part positioning. Note: If Fenix II fails to mark, refer to Troubleshooting in the Maintenance/Troubleshooting chapter. Figure 2-6 Fenix II test pattern 26 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual operation Initial start-up Computer-controlled operation Once you have veriﬁed that Fenix II is working properly, the FLCC is installed, and WinMark Pro software is loaded, perform the following steps to begin controlling Fenix II with your personal computer: Note: Always power-up Fenix II before starting WinMark Pro. This ensures that WinMark properly communicates with Fenix II while launching. 1 Verify that both WinMark Pro version 4 and the Hardlock are installed on the marking computer. If not, refer back to WinMark Pro Version 4 software in the Getting Started chapter for installation instructions. 2 Start WinMark Pro by double-clicking the Shortcut To WinMark Pro icon on your desktop. 3 Ensure that the lens size entered in WinMark is the same as the currently installed focusing lens: a From the Tools menu in WinMark Pro, select General Settings…. b In the Application Settings dialog box, click the Application Settings tab. c Click Lens, and then click the ellipsis (…). d In the Lens Selection dialog box, select the FH/Fenix lens currently installed on your Fenix II. 4 From the File menu, click New to open a new drawing. 5 Design a mark using WinMark or import a sample ﬁle from WinMark’s Samples folder. 6 Place the material to be marked in the ﬁeld of the focusing lens. Caution possible lens damage 7 Lens damage may result if the measuring device contacts the surface of the focusing lens. Always measure the working distance from the bottom of the focusing lens mount. Use a ruler marked in millimeters to set the proper Z-axis working distance from the bottom of the focusing lens mount to the surface of the part to be marked (refer back to Figure 2-5). Danger serious personal injury This product emits invisible infrared laser radiation at the 10.6 µm CO2 wavelength. Since direct or diffuse laser radiation can inﬂict severe corneal injuries, always wear eye protection when in the same area as an exposed laser beam. Do not allow the laser beam to contact a person. CO2 lasers emit an invisible laser beam that is capable of seriously burning human tissue. Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block while testing. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 27 operation Initial start-up 8 Check that all safety precautions discussed earlier such as safety glasses and shielding around the beam area are being followed, then command WinMark to mark. Note: If the Test Mark pushbutton is pressed while WinMark Pro is laser marking, all or part of the mark may be lost. This can occur since Fenix II accepts commands from both the membrane panel and WinMark Pro. For safety reasons, if instructions arrive from both sources simultaneously, membrane panel inputs are programmed to take precedence.

Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 31 technical reference Fenix II technical overview The Fenix II technical overview section includes subsections: ■ Laser ■ Control circuitry ■ Fenix II marking head ■ Lens speciﬁcations Laser At the heart of Fenix II is a SYNRAD model 48-2 laser; a small but powerful 25 W laser based on SYNRAD’s patented RF-excited, sealed CO2 technology. The laser’s plasma tube consists of 2-inch square cross-section extruded aluminum tubing with welded end caps. A center extrusion within the tube creates a square bore region where the RF drive voltage causes the plasma to form. The tube’s bore size, in conjunction with the mirror curvature, limits the output beam to TEM00 modes when the optical resonator’s curved total reﬂector and ﬂat zinc selenide (ZnSe) output coupler are properly aligned. A CO2 gas mixture provides an output wavelength at or near 10.6 µm (typically 10.57 to 10.63 µm). Heat generated by the excited CO2 molecules is transferred to the bore walls and then to the envelope by diffusion. Two variablespeed cooling fans provide sufﬁcient cooling, which eliminates the need for expensive chillers. A patented single MOSFET transistor power oscillator in a tuned feedback circuit provides RF power for the laser. From a 30 VDC input, the RF driver generates a striking voltage of over 500 V peak-to-peak to the discharge electrodes. The RF Drive module is shielded by integrating it and the plasma tube into a single assembly, eliminating the potential for interference with authorized communication services. Control circuitry WinMark Pro laser marking software sends commands to Fenix II’s control circuitry through a digital ﬁber optic link. Once received by the CPU board, these software commands are interpreted and sent to the proper control element. Digital power commands are converted into a 20 kHz pulse width modulated (PWM) Command signal sent to the laser. Position commands are digitally corrected to compensate for the optical properties of the head and then converted to analog signals that drive the optical scanners. Position control of the optical scanners is maintained by analog servo electronics, which provide closedloop feedback and control. Fenix II marking head The purpose of Fenix II’s marking head is to position and focus the laser beam onto the marking surface. This process begins as the laser’s output beam enters the Fenix II head through an expansion telescope. The beam is collimated and then deﬂected onto two lightweight X and Y mirrors mounted on separate high-speed optical scanners. After being positioned by the mirrors, the beam is directed out through the focusing lens onto the marking surface. This focusing design, where the beam is focused after the steering optics, is called post-objective focus. The advantage of post-objective focus is that a ﬂat-ﬁeld lens can be used to achieve ﬁnal focus. Flat-ﬁeld lenses provide excellent mark quality because the focused spot is located in the same horizontal plane over the entire marking ﬁeld. 32 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual technical reference Fenix II technical overview Lens speciﬁcations The nominal (or standard) mark ﬁeld for Fenix II’s FH/Fenix Series lenses is a square; however, to accommodate customers who require a slightly larger marking area at the same working distance, our FH/Fenix lenses provide an extended rectangular mark area beyond the standard ﬁeld speciﬁcation. In WinMark Pro, the white center area on the Drawing Canvas denotes the nominal (standard) marking area for the currently installed focusing lens. The outer border (shaded yellow) indicates the maximum marking ﬁeld for that lens. Note that mark objects placed in the yellow shaded area, especially those objects placed near the corners, may exhibit a slight degradation in mark quality. Table 3-1 lists nominal and maximum ﬁeld sizes, working distance, focused spot size, and depth of ﬁeld speciﬁcations for all FH/Fenix lenses. Note: See Initial start-up and Figure 2-5 in the Operation chapter for information on setting the correct working distance for your focusing lens.

Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 33 technical reference Upgrading ﬁrmware The ﬁrmware in your Fenix II Laser Marker is designed to be ﬁeld-upgradeable. To upgrade Fenix II ﬁrmware using WinMark Pro version 4, perform the following steps: 1 Ensure that Fenix II is powered up and is connected to the marking computer. 2 Open WinMark Pro and check that the digital ﬁber optic link is communicating with Fenix II. Click the Help\About Synrad WinMark ...\Head Info button to check marking head status. The correct Head Type, Lens, and Firmware version should be displayed. 3 From the Help menu, click About Synrad WinMark ..., and press the Update F/W button. A dialog box opens asking you to initiate the ﬁrmware update. Press OK. 4 In the Open dialog box, navigate to the C:\Program Files\WinMark folder, select the desired “Update_××.asc” ﬁrmware ﬁle, where ×× is the ﬁrmware version, and press Open. 5 After downloading the new ﬁrmware ﬁle, remove power from Fenix II, wait a few seconds, and then power up again to begin operation with the new ﬁrmware. Note: 34 If you decide to reverse the ﬁrmware upgrade, you can do so by pressing and holding the Test Mark pushbutton while applying power to the Fenix II Laser Marker. This causes the marking head to clear out the ﬁeld upgrade and restart using the original factory-loaded ﬁrmware. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual technical reference Custom test mark feature The Custom test mark feature section includes subsections: ■ Overview ■ Test Mark Control options ■ Creating a custom test mark ■ Setting Test Mark Control options ■ Downloading a custom test mark ﬁle ■ Custom test mark I/O Overview Fenix II customers have the ability to download a custom test mark to their Fenix II Laser Marker. Like the standard test pattern shown in Figure 2-6 in the Operation chapter, a custom test mark downloaded into Fenix II’s non-volatile memory is marked each time the Test Mark pushbutton is pressed. However, unlike the standard test pattern, the custom test mark feature allows operators to: (1) create a custom mark ﬁle with speciﬁc object properties; (2) mark the custom test mark as an Index mark; or (3) perform standalone Index marking of the custom test mark without a computer connected to Fenix II. Access the custom test mark command in WinMark Pro by clicking Tools and then click Custom Test Mark…. The Test Mark Control dialog box (shown in Figure 3-1) opens. Figure 3-1 Test Mark Control dialog box Note: If your Fenix II is powered up and connected to your computer but Custom Test Mark… appears dimmed under the Tools menu, then go to the Help Menu, Under Help, click About Synrad WinMark… and then click Head Info to reinitialize communication with the Fenix II marker. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 35 technical reference Custom test mark feature Test Mark Control options The custom test mark feature is controlled by selecting one of two Test Mark Modes and one of two Test Mark Types. Each control option is described below. Test Mark Mode Test Mark Mode determines how the custom test mark is initiated. The options, Manual and Auto, are described below. Manual In Manual Test Mark Mode, the custom test mark simply replaces the factory default test pattern in memory. In this mode, the custom test mark is always marked as a static (Index) mark, ﬁring only when the Test Mark pushbutton is pressed. Auto In Auto Test Mark Mode, the custom test mark replaces the factory test pattern in memory. The stored custom test mark ﬁres as an Index mark when an input signal is sensed on input IN0. Test Mark Type Test Mark Type determines whether the custom test mark is marked as an Index or Tracker mark. Test Mark Type options, Index Mark and Tracking Mark, are described below. If Manual Test Mark Mode is selected, then Test Mark Type options do not apply and appear dimmed. Index Mark If Test Mark Mode is set to Auto and Test Mark Type is set to Index then a static custom test mark ﬁres when the Test Mark pushbutton is pressed or when the rising edge of an input signal is detected on IN0. Index Mark provides the ability to load a custom test mark ﬁle, disconnect the ﬁber optic cable and computer, and then automatically mark an Index ﬁle each time input IN0 goes active. Tracking Mark The Tracking Mark option appears dimmed when the Tracking feature is unavailable. Creating a custom test mark Use WinMark Pro to develop a custom test mark the same way you would create any other mark ﬁle. Create a drawing with properly positioned text or graphic objects and then set object properties such as Velocity, Power, Resolution, etc. File size for custom test marks is limited by Fenix II’s non-volatile memory space. For example, the default test pattern (see Figure 2-6 in the Operation chapter) ﬁlls approximately half of the available memory. When a custom test mark ﬁle is too large to download, WinMark displays “The selected mark drawing does not ﬁt in Test Mark Memory”. If this happens, try the following options to reduce ﬁle size: A 36 Reduce the Off Vector Resolution of mark objects in the drawing. Resolutions of 50–100 dpi are sufﬁcient to obtain a quality mark. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual technical reference Custom test mark feature B Reduce the Resolution of mark objects. 300 dpi is adequate for most marking. For graphics with only horizontal or vertical straight lines (not diagonals), 100 dpi is sufﬁcient. C Reﬁne the mark. Use stroke text instead of TrueType® fonts, mark fewer words, or simplify line art. Note: Because it is a downloaded ﬁle stored in memory, a custom test mark ﬁle cannot perform serialization, real-time date and time stamp coding, Input/Output, or other automation functions as it could if run in WinMark Pro. Setting Test Mark Control options Creation of a custom test mark can be done ofﬂine, but to set custom test mark options Fenix II must be connected and communicating to a computer running WinMark Pro. To setup custom test mark options, perform the following steps: 1 Open or create the desired ﬁle to be downloaded as a custom test mark. 2 From the Tools menu, click Custom Test Mark…. The Test Mark Control dialog box (Figure 3-1) opens. Note: If your Fenix II is already programmed with an Index Auto Test Mark, then a dialog box appears indicating that auto test marking has been disabled. This prevents an input signal from commanding Fenix II to mark while a new custom test mark ﬁle is being downloaded to memory. 3 Under Test Mark Mode, click Manual or Auto. 4 If Auto Test Mark Mode is selected, then under Test Mark Type choose Index Mark. Downloading a custom test mark ﬁle 1 Under Tools, click Custom Test Mark… and when the Test Mark Control dialog box opens, verify that the correct Test Mark Mode options are selected. Note: The default Test Mark Mode is Manual. To enable Auto Test Mark Mode you must select the Auto option each time the Test Mark Control dialog box opens. 2 Click OK to download the currently active WinMark ﬁle to Fenix II memory. 3 After ﬁle transfer is complete, a dialog box conﬁrms a successful download. 4 If the data transmission fails, click OK to acknowledge the failure and then repeat Steps 1–3. If the custom test mark feature appears dimmed after a data transmission failure, then under Help, click About Synrad WinMark… and then click Head Info. After closing the dialog boxes, return to the Tools menu. The custom test mark command should be available. Fenix II memory can contain only one custom test mark at a time, but a new mark ﬁle can be downloaded at any time. A copy of the factory installed test pattern (FactoryTestMark1.mkh) is provided in the Program Files\WinMark folder so that the default test mark ﬁle can be reloaded into memory as required for lens testing or mark centering. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 37 technical reference Custom test mark feature Custom test mark I/O It is possible for the Fenix II Laser Marker to set or clear outputs (OUT4–OUT7) when marking a custom test mark. This output capability is only available when using SetDigitalState commands in WinMark Pro’s Event Builder. Event Builder functions are available during these stages of the Automation loop: On Before Mark Session – On Before Mark Piece – On After Mark Piece – On After Mark Session Remember that in WinMark Pro’s Automation loop, On Before Mark Session and On After Mark Session events run only once before/after a marking session while On Before Mark Piece and On After Mark Piece events run before/after each individual piece. In a custom test mark application however, each individual mark is considered a mark session meaning that On Before Mark Session / On After Mark Session events are run for each piece that is marked. It is not possible for a custom test mark to perform non-Event Builder output functions (Set Digital Before Session, Set Digital Before Mark, or Set Digital After Mark) or to perform any type of input automation. Input signals are sensed in only two cases: (1) for the Fast Acting Safety Interlock (FASI) where input IN3 must be active; or (2) for Index marks where IN0, the part sensor input, is expected when Test Mark Mode is set to Auto. Warning possible personal injury 38 Fenix II or FLCC outputs may be set or cleared during a custom test mark download when the mark ﬁle contains Event Builder automation. The user must take steps to assure that this behavior does not compromise the integrity of the control system. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual technical reference Laser I/O connections The Laser I/O connections section includes subsections: ■ DB-9 Laser I/O connector ■ Fenix / Fenix II Laser I/O conversion DB-9 Laser I/O connector The Fenix II’s DB-9 Laser I/O connector located on the rear panel provides the user with a convenient method of monitoring various fault conditions (over temperature, control/RF circuit failure, etc.) and adds remote interlock, remote keyswitch, message output, and remote LED indicator capability. These signals allow you to connect a remote keyswitch, Lase, and Ready LED indicators to a remote operator’s station or connect a remote interlock safety switch to interlock equipment doors or panels. A factory-installed jumper plug is attached to the Laser I/O connector on each Fenix II to enable normal operation on initial start-up. Two jumpers are wired into the plug as shown in Figure 3-2. The jumper between pin 6 and pin 7 closes the Remote Keyswitch input and the jumper between pin 3 and pin 4 closes the Remote Interlock input. If the jumper plug is removed, then you must connect the appropriate external remote interlock or remote keyswitch circuitry in order to enable lasing. To take advantage of the Laser I/O functions described in Table 3-2, you must manufacture a connecting cable that properly integrates the DB-9 signals into your automated marking system. A spare male DB-9 connector and cover is included with each Fenix II to facilitate cable manufacture. 1 2 6 3 7 REMOTE INTERLOCK JUMPER 4 8 5 9 REMOTE KEYSWITCH JUMPER Figure 3-2 Factory-installed DB-9 jumper plug wiring Caution possible equipment damage Caution possible equipment damage Do not ground Remote Keyswitch or Remote Interlock inputs to an external circuit—this will damage Fenix II circuitry. Any external circuit(s) connected to these terminals must be ﬂoating with respect to ground. We recommend using “dry circuit” (zero voltage) switches or relay circuitry. Do not apply voltage to the Remote Interlock input on DB-9 pin 3 as this will damage Fenix II internal circuitry. The Remote Interlock input on pin 3 is a “dry circuit” (zero voltage) input and must connect only to pin 2 or pin 4 to complete the interlock circuit. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 39 technical reference Laser I/O connections Table 3-2 DB-9 Laser I/O pin descriptions Pin # Function Description 1 Fault Shutdown Output Indicates failure of internal circuitry or existence of over temperature (> 60 °C ±2 °C), over voltage, or under voltage fault. This active low signal (referenced to pin 2 or pin 4) transitions from +15 V (normal operation) to 0 VDC when a fault occurs. Use this output signal to disable external processes during a fault. See Note 1 and Table 3-4 for output signal speciﬁcations. 2 Signal Ground Signal ground/chassis ground for pins 1, 3, 5, 8, and pin 9. 3 Remote Interlock Input Disables Fenix II when an interlock switch wired to this input from an equipment door or panel is opened. Ground this input to pin 2 or pin 4 only. Do not apply a voltage to this pin—see Note 2 and Table 3-3 for input signal speciﬁcations. As shipped, pins 3 and 4 are connected by the factory-installed DB-9 plug to disable the Remote Interlock function. 4 Signal Ground Signal ground/chassis ground for pins 1, 3, 5, 8, and pin 9. 5 Message Output This active low signal (referenced to pin 2 or pin 4) transitions from +15 V (normal operation) to 0 VDC when a pre-shutdown temperature warning occurs (when laser temp reaches 54 °C ±2 °C) and remains low until temperature falls 2 °C. Use this output to notify user of need to increase laser cooling or risk shutdown. See Note 1 and Table 3-4 for output signal speciﬁcations. 6 Remote Keyswitch Input Connect a remote relay or switch in series with physical Keyswitch to control laser On/Off/Reset functions. Connect pin 6 to pin 7 to run; open this connection to halt lasing or reset faults. As shipped, pins 6 and 7 are connected by the factory-installed jumper plug to disable the Remote Keyswitch function. See Note 2, Note 3, and Table 3-3 for input signal speciﬁcations. 7 Remote Keyswitch Output Connect pin 7 to pin 6 to disable the Remote Keyswitch function (See pin 6 description above). Pin 7 is at DC line potential (+30 VDC) only when the Keyswitch is set to ON. This output is protected by a self-resetting fuse. As shipped, pins 6 and 7 are jumpered by the factory-installed DB-9 plug. See Note 3, Note 4, and Table 3-4 for output signal speciﬁcations. 8 Remote Lase LED Output Connect an LED or LED-optoisolator between pin 8 and Signal Ground for a remote Lase indication. See Note 5, Note 6, and Table 3-4 for output signal speciﬁcations. 9 Remote Ready LED Output Connect an LED or LED-optoisolator between pin 9 and Signal Ground for a remote Ready indication. See Note 5 and Table 3-4 for output signal speciﬁcations. (1) Pin 1 and Pin 5 are active low outputs. Signal specs are— OFF: +15 VDC, 5 mA into 3 kOhm. ON: < 1 VDC, sinking 100 mA. (2) We recommend using “dry circuit” (zero voltage) switching because current into Remote Interlock Input and Remote Keyswitch Input connections is negligible (50 mA @ 30 VDC). (3) Install an external current-limiting resistor, if wiring an LED or LED-optoisolator between pin 6 & 7 to indicate Keyswitch status. (4) The Remote Keyswitch Output is protected by a self-resetting fuse. Output is active (+30 VDC, 50 mA max) only if Keyswitch is ON. (5) Pin 8 or pin 9 can connect directly to anode of LED or LED-optoisolator without external current limiting devices. Wire LED cathodes to pin 2 or pin 4. Output current is internally limited to 11 mA @ 2.4 V maximum. (6) The output of pin 8, the Remote Lase LED Output, is a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal based on the PWM Command input signal. It is not a steady state (on/off) output. 310 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual technical reference Laser I/O connections Figure 3-3 shows the physical layout and pin identiﬁcation of Fenix II’s female DB-9 Laser I/O connector.

A simple system utilizing Fenix II digital I/O and WinMark Pro to control marking might operate like this: A conveyor stops with a new part positioned under Fenix II and then delivers a ‘start mark’ signal to a Fenix II input. WinMark Pro software recognizes the input transition and marks the part. On completion of the mark, WinMark Pro commands Fenix II to activate an output signaling ‘mark complete’, which starts the conveyor again. After the ‘mark complete’ signal, WinMark Pro waits for the next ‘start mark’ signal. The digital I/O capability of Fenix II and the automation features of WinMark Pro enable this kind of process control.

An example of this safety action is a machine that lowers a shield over a part prior to marking, then raises the shield as soon as the mark is complete. Fenix II is equipped with a Remote Interlock feature that disables laser ﬁring, typically when a switch on an access door or safety enclosure is opened. However in marking applications where a safety interlock is frequently cycled, the Remote Interlock creates an unacceptable delay. This delay occurs because after the interlock is closed the Keyswitch or remote keyswitch must be cycled, which then invokes a built-in ﬁve-second delay prior to lasing. To address this issue, Fenix II Laser Markers incorporate a Fast Acting Safety Interlock (FASI) function. The FASI function prevents the laser from ﬁring unless a signal is present on Fenix II input IN3. Fenix II responds to this rising signal transition in less than 1 ms. To enable the FASI feature, perform the following steps: 1 Set DIP switch #5 on the FLCC to the “On” position. Refer to Figure 3-13 for switch locations. 2 Conﬁgure WinMark’s Wait Digital Before Piece command to wait for a “Set” state on input IN3 before marking begins. This synchronizes marking operations with the FASI safety feature. 3 Apply a signal in the range of 15–40 V (24 V typical) to Fenix II input IN3. When FASI is enabled, Fenix II input IN3 must be active before the laser can ﬁre (if the FASI feature is enabled and IN3 is inactive—no signal applied, then no marking will occur). 4 Command WinMark Pro to mark. Note: Changes in the state of the FASI setting (DIP switch #5) are only sent to Fenix II when WinMark Pro is commanded to mark. If you change the switch setting (to enable or disable the FASI function) you must send a mark command from WinMark Pro so that the new switch state is written into Fenix II memory. When the FASI function is enabled, this interlock state is set in Fenix II’s non-volatile memory and so does not depend on WinMark Pro software or even the computer to be running. The FASI state is retained even when Fenix II is powered down and then restarted. This means that even manual ﬁring of the laser using the Test Mark pushbutton requires an active signal on input IN3. Table 3-10 illustrates the relationship between DIP switch #5 and Fenix II input IN3.

Note that the Fast Acting Safety Interlock (FASI) feature is controlled by DIP switch #5 on PCI-bus FLCCs. Previous ISA-bus FLCCs used DIP switch #6 to control FASI. Because the Windows Plug and Play feature, not the user, assigns the PCI address, address switches are not important. The card identiﬁcation, set by the Card ID# DIP switches, will support future improvements to WinMark Pro. Card ID switches use negative logic; for example, when SW1–SW4 are set to ON, the Card ID# = 0; when SW1–SW4 are set to OFF the Card ID# = 15. If SW1, SW2, and SW3 = OFF and SW4 = ON, then the Card ID# = 7.

This chapter contains the following information: ■ Maintenance – explains typical maintenance procedures for the Fenix II marker. ■ Troubleshooting – describes how to troubleshoot common marking problems. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 41 maintenance/ troubleshooting Maintenance The Maintenance section includes subsections: ■ Daily inspections ■ Storage/shipping ■ Cleaning optics Daily inspections Perform the following steps daily to keep your Fenix II Laser Marker in optimum operating condition. Except for the procedures described below, no other service is required or should be attempted. 1 Remove AC power from the Fenix II marker by disconnecting the AC Line Cord from the AC power module. Danger serious personal injury 2 Visually inspect exterior surfaces of optical components for contamination. If required, follow the cleaning instructions below. Caution possible personal injury 3 Ensure that AC power to the Fenix II Laser Marker is disconnected or locked out before inspecting optical components in the beam path. Invisible CO2 laser radiation is emitted from the laser. Corneal damage or blindness may result from exposure to laser radiation. A risk of exposure to toxic elements may result when certain optical or beam delivery components are damaged. In the event of damage to laser or marking head optics, contact SYNRAD, Inc. or the optics manufacturer for handling instructions. Visually inspect the exterior of the Fenix II housing to ensure that all warning labels are present. Refer to Label locations in the Laser Safety chapter for label types and locations. Storage/shipping When preparing a Fenix II Laser Marker for storage or shipping, place a dust cap over the focusing optic. If possible, repackage Fenix II in its original SYNRAD shipping container to lessen the chance of damage. 42 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual maintenance/ troubleshooting Maintenance Cleaning optics Exercise great care when handling infrared optics because they are much more fragile than common glass materials. Optical surfaces and coatings are easily damaged by rough handling and improper cleaning methods. For this reason, do not remove optics from their mounts. Carefully follow the cleaning procedures described below using the materials listed in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Required cleaning materials Cleaning Material Purity Requirements Finger cots or rubber gloves Powder free Air bulb Clean air bulb Ethyl alcohol Spectroscopic or reagent grade Acetone Spectroscopic or reagent grade Lens tissue Optical quality Cotton balls or cotton swabs High-quality surgical cotton/high-quality paper-bodied When handling or cleaning infrared optics, observe the following guidelines: ■ Before beginning, read the entire cleaning process to ensure that all required materials are available. ■ Use ﬁnger cots or rubber gloves to prevent contamination of optical surfaces by dirt and skin oils. ■ Always place optics on lens tissue for protection. Never place optics on hard or rough surfaces. ■ It may be necessary to use a ﬂuffed cotton swab instead of a cotton ball to uniformly clean the entire surface of small-diameter mounted optics. ■ Before using cleaning agents, read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and observe all necessary safety precautions. To remove dust, oily residues, and plastics buildup that have adhered to the surface of the focusing lens, perform the following steps: 1 Shut off and lock out all power to the Fenix II Laser Marker. You must verify that the Fenix II is in a zero-energy state before proceeding with the optical inspection and cleaning! 2 Refer to Figure 4-1 and remove the three capscrews securing the focusing lens to the marking head housing. Do not remove the lens from its optical mount. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 43 maintenance/ troubleshooting Maintenance INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION IS EMITTED FROM THIS APERTURE AVOID EXPOSURE Remove these three capscrews Figure 4-1 Bottom view – Fenix II focusing lens mount Caution possible lens damage Do not allow the nozzle of the air bulb to touch the lens surface. Any contact may damage the lens by scratching the optical surface. Do not use compressed shop air to blow debris off the lens. Compressed air contains signiﬁcant amounts of water and oil that form absorbing ﬁlms on the optical surface. 3 Remove loose contaminants from the focusing lens surface by holding a clean air bulb at an angle to the lens and blow a stream of air across the lens surface at a glancing angle. Repeat as necessary until all loose particulates are blown off the lens surface. 4 Refer to Table 4-2 and select the appropriate cleaning solvent based on the type of contamination that exists on the surface of the lens. Table 4-2 Cleaning solvent selection Solvent Type Classiﬁcation Application Ethyl alcohol Least aggressive Initial dust cleaning Acetone Moderately aggressive Oily residues Minor baked-on plastics Note: 44 If acetone is used as a cleaning solvent, a follow-up cleaning of the optical surface using ethyl alcohol is required to remove any acetone residue. Repeat Steps 5 through 8 using ethyl alcohol. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual maintenance/ troubleshooting Maintenance 5 Dampen a cotton ball or ﬂuffed cotton swab with the selected cleaning agent. Caution possible lens damage 6 Do not exert pressure on the surface of the optical lens during cleaning. The optical surface is easily scratched by dislodged contaminants. Use a new wipe on each pass as contaminants picked up by the wipe may scratch the optical surface. Gently, and without applying pressure, wipe the damp cotton across the optic surface in a single pass. Do not rub or apply pressure, especially when using a cotton swab. Drag the cotton ball or swab without applying any downward pressure. Important Note: Use a clean cotton ball or swab on each pass. The cotton will pickup and carry surface contaminants that may scratch the optical surface. To prevent streaking during the ﬁnal ethyl alcohol cleaning, drag the cotton slowly across the surface so that the cleaning liquid evaporates right behind the cotton. 7 It may be impossible to remove all traces of contaminants from the lens surface especially near the edges. Ensure that the only remaining residue is around the outer edges and not in the center of the lens. 8 Carefully examine the optical surface under a good light in front of a black background. Certain contaminants or damage such as metal splatter or pitting cannot be removed. In these cases the optic will require replacement. 9 Repeat Steps 5 through 8 as required, removing all possible contaminants and deposits. 10 Reinstall the focusing lens. If the cleaned optic will not be used immediately, wrap it in lens tissue and place in clean, dry storage.

Possible Causes: ■ AC line voltage is not available from the outlet where Fenix II is connected. Ensure that the proper AC line voltage (85–132 V / 170–264 VAC, 1Ø) is available under full-load conditions. ■ One or both of the AC power receptacle fuses have opened. To check both fuses inside the Fenix II AC power receptacle, follow the steps below. The numbered items in Figure 4-2 correspond to step numbers 1 through 3 in the following procedure. MARKING HEAD I/O LASER I/O OFF ON FIBER OPTIC INTERFACE 115V MP (2X) Figure 4-2 AC line fuse location 46 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Warning serious personal injury Warning—Double Pole/Neutral Fusing. The AC input power to this unit is double-fused. Fuses are installed on both line AND neutral conductors. A neutral line fuse failure could present a hazard to service personnel. Disconnect the AC Line Cord or shut off and lockout AC power before servicing this unit. 1 Unplug the AC Line Cord from the Fenix II AC power receptacle. 2 Insert a small thin-bladed screwdriver into the slot in the top center of the power module and carefully pry down the black access door to open it. 3 Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the top of the red fuse holder and carefully snap the fuse holder out of the power receptacle. 4 Inspect both fuses (one on each side of the AC line). If fuse replacement is required, use fast-blow fuses rated for 10 A at 250 VAC. The fuse holder will accept either 5×20 mm type GDA or 11/4" × 11/4" type AGC fuses. 5 Insert the fuse holder into the AC power receptacle, snap it into position, and then close the access door. Symptom: ■ The AC Line Cord is connected, the AC Power Switch is switched “On”, the Keyswitch is On (1) and the cooling fans are running, but Ready and Lase indicators are not illuminated. Possible Causes: ■ The remote keyswitch circuit is open. When using a remote keyswitch, ensure that the keyswitch circuit is closed. If you are not using a remote keyswitch, check that the factory-installed DB-9 jumper plug is attached to the Laser I/O connector. If a customer-supplied jumper plug is installed, check that a jumper wire is connected between DB-9 pin 6 and pin 7 to bypass the remote keyswitch function. ■ The remote interlock circuit is open. When using the Remote Interlock feature, ensure that all interlocked doors and panels are closed. If you are not using the interlock feature, check that the factory-installed DB-9 jumper plug is attached to the Laser I/O connector. If a customer-supplied jumper plug is installed, check that a jumper wire is connected between DB-9 pin 3 and pin 4 to bypass the Remote Interlock function. After closing the Remote Interlock circuit, you must reset the Keyswitch (or remote keyswitch) by switching “Off” and then “On” to reset and restart the Fenix II marker. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 47 maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting ■ The Emergency Off pushbutton was pressed. When the Emergency Off pushbutton is pressed, lasing is halted immediately and both Lase and Ready indicators turn off. To restart Fenix II, cycle the Keyswitch (or remote keyswitch) “Off” and then “On” to reset and restart the Fenix II marker. ■ A laser over-temperature condition exists. An over-temperature shutdown of the laser will occur if laser tube temperature reaches 60 °C ±2 °C. If the Fenix II Laser Marker seems unusually warm, allow it to cool and then cycle the AC Power Switch “Off” and then back “On”. Reset the Keyswitch (or remote keyswitch) by switching “Off” and then “On” to reset and restart the Fenix II marker. Symptom: ■ The laser mark produced by the Fenix II marker is much larger or much smaller than the image drawn on the WinMark Pro Drawing Canvas. Possible Causes: ■ The lens size speciﬁed in WinMark Pro does not match the lens installed on the Fenix II marker. Check that the lens size speciﬁed in WinMark Pro matches the lens currently installed on Fenix II. In WinMark Pro, go to the Tools menu, select General Settings…, click the Application Settings tab, and then locate the Lens property. Make sure that the chosen lens is from the FH/Fenix list. ■ A data type mismatch has occurred. Power down the Fenix II marker and close the WinMark Pro application. Power-up Fenix II ﬁrst and then restart WinMark Pro. This procedure ensures that WinMark Pro properly communicates with the marker during start-up. Symptom: ■ Marked objects are elongated or elliptical in shape, but the test pattern produced when pressing the Test Mark button is symmetrical. Possible Causes: ■ WinMark Pro’s Field Width, Field Height, Field Scale X, or Field Scale Y properties are improperly set. Unlike previous lenses for early SYNRAD marking heads, FH/Fenix lenses have a rectangular mark ﬁeld. Table 3-1 in the Technical Reference chapter lists the maximum Field Width and Field Height dimensions foe each FH/Fenix lens. To check the lens ﬁeld settings in WinMark Pro, click Drawing and then click the Format tab. Field Width and Field Height dimensions should match those given in Table 3-1. Optimal Field Width and Optimal Field Height values should match the nominal ﬁeld sizes shown in the Table. 48 Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Field Scale X and Field Scale Y dimensions are set to 100% by default. If these settings are changed nonproportionally, then elongated marks will result. To check Field Scale X and Field Scale Y properties, click Drawing and then click the Marking tab. You may also need to review ﬁeld scale properties on the Drawing Defaults tab (from the Tools menu, select General Settings…, and then click the Drawing Defaults tab). Symptom: ■ No marks or very light marks appear on the part. Possible Causes: ■ The part is not positioned at the point of focus. Locate the Final Test Report shipped with your Fenix II to determine the actual working distance of the focusing lens. Refer back to Figure 2-5, Working distance measurement, in the Operation chapter and then measure working distance from the bottom of the focusing lens mount to the surface of the part to be marked. Adjust the Z-axis of the mounting platform or the marking surface as required to obtain the correct working distance. Symptom: ■ Mark quality deteriorates over time and/or laser power must be increased to maintain mark quality. Possible Causes: ■ The focusing lens has become coated with marking debris or vapor. Carefully inspect and clean the lens as described in the Maintenance section earlier in this chapter. Symptom: ■ The Ready indicator is illuminated green, but the Lase indicator is off and no mark is produced when the Test Mark pushbutton is pressed. Possible Causes: ■ The laser is not enabled. If Fenix II’s Ready light is illuminated, but the Lase LED is Off, then cycle the Keyswitch (or remote keyswitch) “Off” and then “On” to reset and restart the Fenix II marker. You should see the Lase indicator glowing dimly, which indicates the laser is in tickle mode. After an internal ﬁve-second delay, Fenix II is able to lase. The Lase indicator is driven by the PWM Command signal sent to the laser, so it appears brighter during lasing depending on the mark ﬁle’s Power (duty cycle percentage) setting. Symptom: ■ Ready and Lase indicators are illuminated, but no mark is produced when the Test Mark pushbutton is pressed or when marking is commanded through WinMark Pro. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 49 maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Possible Causes: ■ The Fast Acting Safety Interlock (FASI) feature is enabled. When the FASI feature is enabled, you must apply a 15 V–40 VDC signal on input IN3 to ﬁre the laser. For further details, refer to Fiber Link Controller Card features in the Technical Reference chapter. Symptom: ■ Ready and Lase indicators are illuminated and marking occurs when commanded by WinMark Pro, but no mark is produced when the Test Mark pushbutton is pressed. Possible Causes: ■ The Fenix II keyboard (membrane panel) is locked out. The user can lockout the keyboard (disable the Test Mark button) in WinMark Pro. Note that the Emergency Off pushbutton is always active—it cannot be disabled. To reactivate the Test Mark pushbutton from WinMark, go to the Tools menu and select General Settings… . In the General Settings dialog box, click the Application Settings tab and select the Keyboard Locked property. Click the arrow and select No. Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) Symptom: ■ Fenix II does not respond to WinMark Pro commands. Possible Causes: ■ The ﬁber optic cable between Fenix II and the Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) has been damaged. Carefully check the ﬁber optic cable for damage such as breaks or kinks. ■ The ﬁber optic cable between Fenix II and the FLCC is improperly connected. The FLCC’s Fiber Optic Receiver/Transmitter port is color-coded—the gray half transmits to Fenix II while the blue half receives from Fenix II. The Fenix II’s Fiber Optic Interface jacks are also color-coded. The blue jack receives from the FLCC and the gray jack transmits to the FLCC. To verify proper connection of the ﬁber optic cable, follow the steps below: 1 Make sure that both Fenix II and your computer are turned on. Warning possible personal injury 410 Do not stare directly into the red laser diode light emitted from the transmitter port on the Fiber Link Controller Card or from the Fenix II interface jacks. Eye damage or injury may occur. The red laser diode light is intense enough to injure the eye with prolonged exposure. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting 2 Disconnect the blue plug from the Fiber Optic Interface jack on Fenix II’s rear panel. The blue plug connected to the ﬁber optic cable should emit a visible red glow. 3 If a visible red glow cannot be seen in the blue ﬁber optic plug, remove the duplex connector from the Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) and verify that the card’s gray (transmitter) port is emitting a visible red glow. 4 If there is no visible red glow from the Fiber Optic Receiver/Transmitter port on the FLCC, shut down the computer and check the FLCC to ensure it is properly seated in the computer’s PCI bus slot. If the card appears to be seated correctly, try moving the card to another PCI slot. See Connecting - Fiber Link Controller Card in the Getting Started chapter for important static discharge precautions. If the card still fails to function properly, contact SYNRAD, Inc. or a SYNRAD Authorized Distributor for assistance. 5 Reconnect the duplex ﬁber optic connector to the FLCC so that the red glow from the gray transmitter port is visible in the blue plug on the other end of the cable. The connector latch should securely clip into the cable latch slot (see Figure 1-4 in the Getting Started chapter). 6 Reconnect the blue receiver plug to the blue Fiber Optic Interface connection on the Fenix II rear panel. 7 Disconnect the gray plug from the gray Fiber Optic Interface connection on the Fenix II rear panel. The gray bulkhead Fiber Optic Interface jack on Fenix II should emit a visible red glow. If not, contact SYNRAD, Inc. or a SYNRAD Authorized Distributor for assistance. 8 Reconnect the gray transmitter plug to the gray Fiber Optic Interface connection on the Fenix II rear panel. ■ The Fiber Link Controller Card (FLCC) has failed or has been damaged. If you determine that the FLCC is not operating correctly, contact SYNRAD, Inc. or a SYNRAD Authorized Distributor for assistance. Automation I/O Symptom: ■ The Fenix II Laser Marker is not responding to automation inputs or the automation controller is not “seeing” Fenix II/WinMark Pro outputs. Possible Causes: ■ The Fiber Link Controller Card is not selected. In WinMark Pro, click the Tools/General Settings…/Application Settings tab. Scroll down to I/O Card Selection and verify that a card is selected (PCI Card ID #×). If no card is shown on the drop-down list (No PCI Card Installed), verify that a ﬁber link card is installed in your computer and then check that drivers for the PCI-bus FLCC are properly installed (refer to Connecting in the Getting Started chapter for information about installing the PCI card). ■ I/O voltage levels are incorrect. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual 411 maintenance/ troubleshooting Troubleshooting Review the Marking Head I/O connections section in the Technical Reference chapter to verify that I/O signals are in the correct voltage range of 15 V to 40 VDC. ■ I/O wiring is not properly connected to Fenix II marker. Double-check ﬁeld wiring to ensure that input/output signals are routed to the correct pins on the Marking Head I/O connector and that their respective return (ground) paths are wired to the proper pins. Refer to Marking Head I/O connections in the Technical Reference chapter for information about connecting signals to/from Fenix II. This section also describes converting an existing Fenix system for Fenix II-compatibility. Use Digital Scope (DigScope.exe), shown in Figure 4-3, to verify proper I/O functionality between Fenix II and the automation controller. Digital Scope’s input “buttons” pop-in as an input is activated (when the correct voltage level is applied). Press an output “button” to activate an output. Note: To prevent I/O conﬂicts, always close WinMark Pro or WinMark Launcher before opening Digital Scope.

Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual A1 appendix a Power measurements The Power measurements section includes subsections: ■ Setup ■ Output measurements This appendix describes how to measure laser output power through the Fenix II Laser Marker using a SYNRAD Power Wizard® power meter. Use this procedure to verify that the Fenix II laser is operating properly. Before beginning, read through the steps in the Setup and Output measurements sections so that you understand the sequence and the purpose of each step. Caution possible equipment damage Take all power measurements on an unfocused beam. Never measure a focused laser beam at the point of focus. Damage to the Power Wizard power meter will result. Setup To prepare your Fenix II for power measurements, perform the following steps to ensure the optical scanners are centered in the mark ﬁeld: 1 Place a beam block on the marking surface in the ﬁeld of the focusing lens. This prevents the beam from traveling beyond the work area during power measurements. 2 Verify that the factory-installed test mark ﬁle is loaded into test mark memory. If necessary, reload this ﬁle, FactoryTestMark1.mkh, into memory. See Custom test mark feature in the Technical Reference chapter for instructions. 3 Check that all personnel in the area are wearing the appropriate protective eyewear. 4 With power applied to the Fenix II marker, press the Test Mark button to ﬁre the test mark. This step centers the mirrors and marks a pattern to indicate the center of the mark ﬁeld. As long as power remains applied to Fenix II and no other marking is performed, the optical scanners will remain centered above the marking surface Note: 5 When WinMark Pro v4.0.0.4058 or higher is installed, Digital Scope (DigScope.exe) will automatically send a command to center Fenix II mirrors when it is opened. Ensure that both WinMark Pro and WinMark Launcher are closed. Output measurements Measure output power at the focusing optic (output aperture) of the Fenix II Laser Marker. Note: A2 The following steps describe the use of a SYNRAD Power Wizard® PW-250 power meter to measure output power. Refer to the Power Wizard® PW-250 Operations Instructions for detailed operating instructions. The PW-250 has a measurement range of 1 W–250 Watts. Synrad Fenix II operator’s manual appendix a Power measurements Danger serious personal injury This product emits invisible infrared laser radiation at the 10.6 µm CO2 wavelength. Since direct or diffuse laser radiation can inﬂict severe corneal injuries, always wear eye protection when in the same area as an exposed laser beam. Do not allow the laser beam to contact a person. This product emits an invisible laser beam that is capable of seriously burning human tissue. Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block while testing. To begin output power measurements, perform the following steps: 1 Ensure that all personnel in the area are wearing the appropriate protective eyewear. 2 Open Digital Scope and use the slider to set the desired PWM power percentage, which appears in the Laser Duty Cycle box. 3 Ensure that all personnel are clear of the beam path and then press the Toggle Lase button. 4 Push and hold the Power Wizard’s Reset button for 2–3 seconds. 5 Release the Reset button and quickly verify that the display reads 0.0 W (±0.3 W). 6 Immediately place the Power Wizard’s target area in the center of the focusing optic’s beam path. Hold the Power Wizard approximately one-half the distance from the bottom of the lens mount to the focal plane of the lens to ensure that the Power Wizard is in the path of a defocused beam. 7 Keep the unfocused beam centered on the Power Wizard’s target area until you hear a series of beeps. This indicates the measurement cycle has ended. An automatic hold feature maintains the current reading for approximately 20 seconds or until the Reset button is pressed. 8 Press Toggle Lase to turn off the laser. 9 Repeat steps 3 through 8 two or three times to get a good average output power reading. If power readings are much lower than expected, remove the focusing lens and take another set of output power measurements. Excessive power loss through the focusing lens may indicate that the lens is dirty.
