UC-2000™ Quick Start Guide
1. Your UC-2000 laser arrives in its own box. The wiring is on-top of the foam to prevent damage to the
controller underneath the foam top.
Unpacking:
1.1 UC-2000 wire harness.
1.2 UC-2000 & power connection.
2. Upon arrival, inspect all shipping containers for signs of damage. If you discover shipping damage,
document the damage (photographically if possible), then immediately notify the shipping
carrier (responsible party for any transportation damage) and SYNRAD®. See the inventory section
with in the Introduction chapter of the Operation Manual for packaging list(s).
Important
Note: Read all Danger, Warning, Caution terms, symbols, and instructions located
in the (Safety & Hazard information) sections in the UC-2000 Operation Manual. A
pdf version is available online at: http://www.synrad.com/synrad/docroot/products/
accessories/uc-2000.
Important
Note:
Keep All Foam and Packaging, you will need to re-use it when moving your unit to
prevent damage that could void your warranty. Refer to this guide and the Technical
Reference chapters in the laser’s Operation Manual when re-packaging for shipping
and/or relocation. Remove all accessory items not originally attached (if applicable)
prior to re-packaging for shipping.

Power & Control Connections:
3. Connect the mini-Din to the power cord as shown below. The BNC from the UC-2000 controller to the
laser’s port(s) shown in the gure below located on the rear of the laser.
Mini-DIN to power
ABCDE
A. ANV/ANC Connector- input BNC connector for applications using external analog voltage or current
control signals.
B. Laser Connector- 4 pin mini-DIN connection for the Power/Control cable & tickle/PWM.
C. Serial Port Connector- DB9 connector allows a computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) to
control the UC-2000 via an RS-232 serial port.
D. C/L Connector- 8-pin mini-DIN connector allows closed loop power control of lasers equipped with
SYNRAD® closed loop kit.
E. Gate Connector- Input BNC connector for applications using external gating signals to gate the laser
beam on and o.
If not utilizing the Quick Start Plug that is provided with the unit, refer to the units
Technical References chapter within the operator’s manual. For required connections to
enable the laser and connect PWM (+) from the center pin and PWM (-) from the BNC
shell to the lasers PWM inputs.

Important
Note:
Initial Start up (with a UC-2000 Controller):
4. Before starting your laser for the rst time, see the laser’s quick start guide for verifying functionality.
Assure an appropriate beam block 61cm (24 in) from the laser aperture or a power meter (such as
SYNRAD®’s PW-250 Power Wizard®) to prevent the beam from traveling beyond the work area. If using
water for cooling, see the laser’s Operation Manual Technical Reference chapter for specications.
5. Before proceeding, make note of the UC-2000 laser controller’s factory settings. You will need to
restore the unit to factory settings after the laser’s power has been veried. Set the UC-2000 to MAN-
UAL mode, utilizing the‘SELECT’ button to scroll through the menu selections, and set the PWM Adj
Knob to provide zero percent output (0.0%). Both the UC-2000’s Lase and laser’s lase indicator
will be O.
If you have not yet operated your UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller, refer to the UC-2000
Laser Controller Operator’s Manual for setup and operation instructions before continu-
ing.
Coarse ‘PWM’
adjustment knob
5.2 To adjust PWM to 00.0%, turn the “PWM’ coarse adjustment till
0 percent PWM output displays.
5.1 LASE indicator
on the laser will
be o too.
A
A. PWM Adj Knob- Rotate to change PWM duty cycle. When setting PWM duty cycle manually, rotate to
change output in 0.5% increments OR press down and turn to increase/decrease laser PWM duty
cycle in 5% increments.
Ensure that all personnel in the area are wearing protective eye-wear!
Use the UC-2000 as a stand-alone controller; do not attempt to control the laser or UC-2000 externally.

Initial Start up (with a UC-2000 Controller-continued):
6. Press the UC-2000’s Lase ‘ON/OFF’ button. The Lase indicator on the UC-2000 should illuminate. Use
the “PWM” Adj Knob on the UC-2000 to slowly increase power. The intensity of the laser’s LASE indica-
tor increases in brightness as the PWM duty cycle increases. The spot where the beam hits the beam
block should also increase in brightness to indicate increased power output. The LASE indicator on
the laser will grow bright. Refer to the laser’s general specications in the technical reference chapter
in the operation manual.
Each time an OEM laser is powered up or a Keyswitch version is cycled OFF/ON, a ve-second
delay occurs between the time that the PWR LED illuminates and the laser is permitted to
lase.
Note:
Decrease power before proceeding to the next step, otherwise damage
to your unit could occur!
Important
Note:
7. Reduce the PWM duty cycle to 0.0% by setting the PWM Adj Knob down to zero to provide 0% out
put and press the UC-2000’s Lase ‘On/O’ button to toggle on or o lasing. The LASE indicator on
the UC-2000 turns o and the laser’s LASE LED may go dim, icker, or go out entirely. Refer to the UC-
2000 operators manual for more detailed information. Restore the UC-2000 factory settings.
8. Turn o the laser’s DC power supply if not utilizing the laser.
9. If your laser fails to lase, refer to Troubleshooting in the Maintenance/Troubleshooting chapter for
troubleshooting information.

10. Return your UC-2000 controller to factory and/or appropriate settings.
11. Turn o the DC power supply, shut o the chiller or otherwise stop coolant ow through the
laser when not actively in use to minimize the risk of condensation damage that will void your
warranty.
Decrease power before proceeding to the next step, otherwise damage
to your unit could occur!
Important
Note:
Initial Start up (with a UC-2000 Controller-continued):
Always wear safety goggles. Always use shielded cable when connecting
your PWM Command signal source to PWM Positive/PWM Negative inputs.
In electrically-noisy environments, long lengths of unshielded wire act like
an antenna and may generate enough voltage to trigger uncommanded
lasing.
