 Reduce interruptions and downtime in your laser facility
with accurate indication of laser status All Class 3B and Class 4 lasers
require interlocking to comply with standard safety practice. However, while
this fulfills the safety requirements it can be annoying and even costly to
have your laser shut down when an access door is opened. Such interruptions can
be avoided either by using a locking interlock system (see ICS-1 brochure), or
by providing accurate information regarding your laser status by the use of
illuminated signs, or both.
Signs which are left on continuously even when the laser hazard is
not present, quickly become ignored, so it is important to use a system
incorporating automatic switching. This can be accomplished either directly
from the ICS-1 laser interlock control system or by use of the LCU-1 light
control unit. Various options are shown below with standard sign panels, but
any message can be displayed as required.
