Note
The interlock is a safety system ensuring an emission shutdown when the circuit is open. It is typically
connected to a door (of a room or enclosure) that gives access to the laser and its beam, or to an emergency
stop button. Oxxius recommends using this security feature to prevent accidental exposures.

Make sure that the “POWER” switch is set on position “0,” and the key switch is on the “OFF” position;
Connect the power supply cord to the controller, then to the wall socket;
Plug the heatsink’s power supply into a wall socket and then connect it to the heatsink;
The LaserBoxx is now ready to start.
2.4 Starting up the LaserBoxx
The LaserBoxx features three different control modes:
1.
2.
3.
Plug & Play controller’s front panel operation (local control – not available in OEM version);
Analog/digital control mode (remote control);
RS-232 or USB control mode (remote control).
Only one control mode may be used at a time. Local control is enabled when the slide switch labeled “REMOTE
/ LOCAL” is in the “LOCAL” position. Conversely, remote control is enabled when the switch is in the “REMOTE”
position. In order to switch from one control mode to another, it is necessary to switch the laser off.
The local control mode is described in the following section; see section 4 for information about the remote
control modes.
The slide switch (E6) has to be set on the LOCAL position prior to turning on the key switch (E3). Remote
control is thus disabled, however the laser unit will answer to query commands.
Provided the installation instructions in section 2.2 have been carefully followed, the LaserBoxx is now ready
to be turned on:
a.
Make sure that the laser head shutter is closed (“CLOSED” position, see figure 24 below);
Figure 24: Mechanical shutter in closed position
b.
c.
Set the POWER switch (E2) on position “1”. The “STATUS” LED (E4) turns orange;
Turn the key switch (E3) to “ON”: the “STATUS” LED starts blinking green, indicating the laser is
going through its boot sequence;
Warning: the laser is now emitting. Proper protection measures against laser radiation should be
effective from this stage.
