Installation
- Installing the Chiller
Detailed information on installing and starting the chiller can be found in
the manual supplied with the chiller.
1. Place the chiller on the floor close enough to the Tsunami laser head
so the 3.5 m long hoses will reach from the chiller connectors on the
back of the unit to the Tsunami front bezel connectors.
WARNING
Do not place the chiller above the laser. Should the unit not be installed
properly and a leak develop, dripping water may damage one or both
lasers.
2. Unscrew the knurled nuts holding the large barbed hose fittings to the
back of the chiller and remove the barbed fittings.
3. Find the two hoses in the accessory kit and locate the ends without
fittings. Slide one of the knurled nuts just removed over each hose
end with the threads facing the end of the hose.
One end of each hose has a quick-disconnect fitting already attached.
4. Find the two small, barbed hose fittings in the accessory kit and push
them into the ends of the two hoses.
It may be a tight fit. The polyurethane hose can be stretched either
using long-nosed pliers or by warming the ends a little with a flameless
heater. Note: overheating the hose will damage it and can result
in leaks later.
5. Screw both hoses onto the chiller and tighten.
The hose connections are not polarized. Finger tight is enough: do not
overtighten.
6. Push the quick-disconnect fitting on the other hose end into either of
the two water fittings on the Tsunami input bezel. When it seats, it
will fasten with a click (refer to Figure 4-3).
7. Turn on the chiller and verify water is flowing.
Refer to the chiller manual for instructions.
8. Inspect for leaks at the hose connections just made, and also inside
the laser head where the polyurethane hoses attach to the front bezel
and to the rod holder.
9. Set the chiller temperature for 18 " C (64 O F).
This completes the installation of the chiller.
