1. General information

Please read this manual carefully, it describes the hazard the user might be exposed to while

using the product. It also explains in details how to use the product in the safest and more

efficient way possible.

The safety of any system incorporating the product is the responsibility of the assembler of the

system.

Any actions taken by the user that is not clearly described in this user manual might present a

risk and is the sole responsibility of said user.

This product is to be used in laboratory or industrial tasks, and only by personnel who have

followed a training in laser hazard.

1.1 Definitions

Caution : A caution is advised when dealing with hazardous situations, tasks or objects, to

prevent harm or death and avoid material damage or failure.

Warning : A warning is given for potentially dangerous situation for people which cause them

harm or lead to death

Note : A note is a complementary piece of advice that must be acknowledged by the user.

1.2 General warning

Caution

The compatible laser diodes used with the CCS-I can deliver up to several Watts of coherent

LASER radiation. Always wear protective goggles and observe the safety instructions provided by

the laser diode supplier when using the CCS-I driver with your laser diode.

WARNING

Do not try to open or remove the cover of the CCS-I module

Page 4/14 –v3.3

Note

Only use the genuine power supply, and the supplied USB cable

WARNING

Avoid all chocs and strains when handling the CCS-I

WARNING

Handle the fiber-optics cable with care as it is fragile. Do not bend or pinch it.

WARNING

Any software settings or hardware tinkering that is not described in this user manual or in the

usage recommendation may put the user or its environment at risk.

WARNING

the maintenance and servicing of the CCS-I should not be executed by the end user : only

AERODIODE is able to maintain the CCS-I.

2. Safety Instructions

2.1 Wiring

Caution

-Please first connect the input pins to the board and then plug the DC Power Supply.

-Use caution when connecting the Power Supply.

-Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the CCS-I module.

-Connect the ground completely. Electric shock may occur if the ground is not connected

correctly.

2.2 Operating Environment

Caution

-Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

-To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the CCS-I to rain or moisture.

WARNING

Not following the safety recommendations and the caution mentioned above can lead to eye

damage.

Page 5/14 –v3.3

WARNING

This product contains an OEM CLASS 4 laser. Do NOT look directly into the fiber connector when

the electrical power is ON. Make sure that you wear appropriate laser safety glasses at all times

while operating the product.

2.3 Contact

If you have any question about the CCS-I module, please contact AERODIODE.

3. Package content

The CCS-I package comes with:

•1 CCS-I

•1 DC Power Supply (+12V / 4A)

•1 USB-Jack FTDI cable

•1 USB Key with “Aerodiode Control Software Suite” & User manual in pdf

•1 User Manual

4. Product Overview

4.1 Front view of the product

1. Display

Shows the driving current value in Ampere.

2. Pulse/CW selector

2-positions switch controls the operating mode.

3. TTL/LVTTL input pulse command/trigger (50 ohms)

Page 6/14 –v3.3

SMA TTL/LVTTL input voltage connector. The signal must be between 0 and +3.3V on 50

ohms.

4. Power alarm indicator

Red LED indicates that the maximal allowed power is reached. If the red light is on, turn

down the power with the 6 or 7 control.

5. Temperature alarm indicator

Red LED indicates instabilities in temperature stabilization.

6. Analog input for power adjustment

BNC input voltage connector (From 0V to +5V, corresponding to 0 - 100% of the max

average current set for CW operation or max peak current for pulsed operation) for peak

power adjustment (50Ωinput, modulation bandwidth ~100Hz).

7. Knob for power adjustment (manual)

Knob for peak power adjustment.

8. Power ON indicator

Blue LED indicates that the device is powered.

4.2 Rear panel view of the device

1. DC power input (+12 V)

Input connector for DC power. Use only the provided DC power supply.

2. Output fiber

The fiber-optic feedthrough is located at the back of the device

3. USB input

3.5mm input jack used to connect the CCS-I / SOM to the PC. Use the USB-to-jack cable

which is supplied with your device

4. Daisy output

3.5mm output jack used to chain multiple product

5. Alarm monitor

Page 7/14 –v3.3

BNC output connector for alarm status (Power or Temperature) monitor. The signal is

an inverse TTL, so a +5 V output voltage level corresponds to alarm OFF.

6. Interlock (optional)

Input connector for interlock control. It must be shunt in order to have a laser emission.

7. Back facet monitor connector (not available for SOM-std)

BNC connector for back facet monitor output. This signal gives an electric signal that

corresponds to the laser optical output.

5. Installation

5.1 Getting started

The product should be placed on a flat and level surface. The working area should be clean and

secure. The product should be placed away from any heat source or flammable and explosives

objects.

5.2 Software installation

The CCS-I USB cable should be unplugged during the installation.

Double-click on setup.exe to run the installer and follow the instructions of the installer wizard.

The CCS-I control software will be installed, as well as the driver for the USB cable. A computer

restart may be required to complete the installation.

Once the software is installed, plug the USB cable into a USB port of your computer.

Next, plug the 3,5 mm jack into the USB input female jack of the CCS-I.

Plug-in the CCS-I power supply to turn on the CCS-I module

Click on the item “Control Software” located in the Start Menu to run the CCS-I control software.

A window will appear:

Page 8/14 –v3.3

Click on Connect to start the CCS-I hardware detection. The software will automatically detect

any USB-connected CCS-I.

A new window will appear for each module.

6. Software overview

Page 9/14 –v3.3

The window is divided in four parts:

- Triggers in the Control part are used to select the operating mode

- Numeric boxes in the Pulse Parameters part are used to configure the pulse width,

amplitude and repetition rate
