LDC500 Series Laser Diode Controllers

General Information

Safety and Preparation for Use

Dangerous voltages, capable of causing injury or death, are

WARNING present in this instrument. Do not remove the product covers

or panels. Do not apply power or operate the product without

all covers and panels in place.

AC line voltage

The LDC500 Series Laser Diode Controllers operate from a 100 V,

120 V, 220 V, or 240 V nominal AC power source having a line fre-

quency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Before connecting the power cord to a

power source, verify that the LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR, located

in the rear panel power-entry module, is set so that the correct AC

line voltage value is visible.

The LDC500 Series Laser Diode Controllers will be damaged if oper-

CAUTION ated with the LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR set for the wrong AC line

voltage, or if the wrong fuses are installed. Verify that the correct

line fuses are installed before connecting the line cord. Fuse size is

5MF “fast blow” (5×20 mm). For 100 V/120 V, use 4 A fuses; for

220 V/240 V, use 2 A fuses.

Line cord

The LDC500 Series Laser Diode Controllers have a detachable, three-

wire power cord for connection to the power source and to a protec-

tive ground. The exposed metal parts of the instrument are connected

to the outlet ground to protect against electrical shock. Always use

an outlet which has a properly connected protective ground.

Service

The LDC500 Series Laser Diode Controllers do not have any user

serviceable parts inside. Refer service to a qualiﬁed technician.

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modi-

ﬁcations to this instrument. Contact the factory for instructions on

how to return the instrument for authorized service and adjustment.

Notation

The following notation will be used throughout this manual.

Unless otherwise speciﬁed in the text, LDC500 refers generally to

either the LDC500, LDC501, or LDC502 Laser Diode Controller.

A warning means that injury or death is possible if the instructions

WARNING are not obeyed.

A caution means that damage to the instrument or other equipment

CAUTION is possible.

Typesetting conventions used in this manual are:

•Front-panel buttons are set as [Button].

•Front-panel indicators are set as Overload.

•Remote command names are set as *IDN?.

•Literal text other than command names is set as OFF.

Remote command examples will all be set in monospaced font. In

these examples, data sent by the host computer to the LDC500 are set

as straight teletype font, while responses received by the host

computer from the LDC500 are set as slanted teletype font.
