Description

This LST4WBK2 laser shutter model is designed for use as a laser safety interlock and for processing applications. The magnetic system is based on 24 VDC circuits. Position sensors are built-in standard, yielding logic outputs for both open and closed states. Dielectric mirrors are available for common wavelengths, providing optical power handling to 50 W. Very low out-gassing materials are used in the construction.Compatible system controllers are CX4000B or user-built circuits designed around 24 VDC.

Options are available using a suffix code system. Many options cannot be installed after manufacture, so choose carefully. Standard mirror is gold for IR use. The –AL suffix is for aluminum mirror, best for UV and visible. The –D123 mirror is a triple line YAG mirror for 355, 532, 1064 nm. The –C2 suffix is for CO2 use. Unit is not designed for upside down operation (w/r to photo), but can be adjusted for this orientation upon request. Other options upon request.

Special Considerations for this model include careful attention to mounting around high magnetic fields, such as Faraday Rotators. The position sensors are TTL logic, so standard handling precautions for electronic static control should be observed.

Restricted use for this model include specific laser wavelengths matching mirror options listed on serial label, high quality thermal mounting, and adequate hold voltage at user’s maximum temperature.

See the Mechanical Drawing tab for dimensions. Also see the Application Notes in the Technical Information menu for important operational issues including: thermal mounting, user-built circuits, polarization, lifetime, jitter, vacuum operation, and contamination. See the Product Matrix page to compare laser shutter models.

Color Codes and Function of Wires PIN 1 White, + to winding (observer polarity)
PIN 2 Black, – to winding
PIN 3 Red, Supply Regulated +5.0 VDC — 30 mA
PIN 4 Yellow, NC Output from Sensor – TTL (reads high when shutter closed)
PIN 5 Orange, NO Output from Sensor — TTL (reads high when shutter open)
PIN 6 Blue, 5V Return and Sensor Ground

Read sensor outputs with reference to the blue ground wire. These outputs are totem-pole buffered TTL, seeking a load of ~10 K ohms. Typical output is 4.5 V. Do not try to draw more than about 5 mA from the Yellow or Orange Outputs, or the voltage will load down.
