HyperTerminal).
1520 99 009
page 29 of 85
Pressing the "ABORT key takes you back to the Service menu. The QuadroStar is now waiting for the
first byte sent from the terminal computer. This first byte may be either a key pressure or the beginning of
the data transfer.
The moment data is sent/received via the port, the screen switches to the status display.
Once this screen is active, there is no return for the time being. Either one or several files are transferred
or the system waits for approximately 90 seconds. The QuadroStar tries ten times to communicate with
the terminal computer by repeatedly sending a request. However, data transfer must also start within this
period of 90 seconds.
1520 99 009
page 30 of 85
Start file transfer by activating the "Send file..." command on the "Transfer" menu.
In the appearing dialog box, choose the file to be sent using the "Browse..." button or directly enter the file
name.
1520 99 009
page 31 of 85
Immediately after having clicked the "Send button, the status display of the send process appears.
The status display of the QuadroStar corresponds with the status display of the terminal. The number of
REPEAT actions depends on the system and varies between 0 and 200. By the entry of placeholders
(e.g. *.qtx or *.*) in selecting the files for transfer, it is possible so send several file with a single download
action.
Caution: When using placeholders, take care that you do not include wrong files in the transfer.
Wrong files will fill the hard disk and give rise to the error message "Not enough disk space". It is
impossible to delete files sent by mistake from Service mode!
In this case, the controller board must be returned to Asclepion Laser Technologies GmbH.
1520 99 009
page 32 of 85
If you send several files, the number of files to be transferred, the progress of transfer of the current file
and the total progress of file transfer are displayed. The QuadroStar treats every file individually. The end
of file transfer is indicated by the "TRANSFER END message and the display of the "CONTINUE key.
Unless you switch off the device, the old software will be operative in the memory.
In the case of transfer errors or abortion, you must not exit the Service menu. Repeat
the download action until it is successful.

The driving voltage can be adjusted by touching the DRIVE key and operating the joggle (0 1.8V @
LBO and 0 2.5V @ diode laser). The Ready key releases the footswitch. The laser is operated in cw
mode.
With the LBO, make sure to set a low voltage (less than 1V) first and then
check the output power. The emitted output power should not exceed
5.5W. If you set a too high driving voltage, the current generated may be
too high and damage the LBO!
To check the pilot beam intensity, touch the PILOT key and operate the joggle. The display of pilot beam
intensity is in digits of the DAC.
EXIT takes you back to the Service menu.

The equations are always mapped in a coordinate system with Y = f(X) or Digits = f(power). With three
measuring points, two straight lines are produced from point to point. The points red 0, red 1 and red 2
represent these three measuring points. In the square brackets, the Power (P = X-axis) and Digits (Yaxis) are given. The letters used have the following meaning: D stands for Drive (drive value), C for
Check (test voltage), M0 for low-channel current measurement and M1 for high-channel current
measurement.
The drive value (Drive) is supplied as control variable to a PWM (pulse width modulation) directly behind
the DAC. At the same time, this voltage is amplified two times and applied to the DAC. Thus, for an ideal
amplification of 2.0 the curves for Drive and Check coincide. As the amplification is not ideal, the test
voltage (Check) deviates.
It can be seen, that for Drive and Check the straight lines are minimally bent downward after the middle
measuring point. This means that the rises are of the same order of magnitude, and the rise of the
second straight line is minimally smaller. The offsets are the result of computation and should have the
same order of magnitude.

In order to obtain a sufficiently large delta Digits also with low powers, the current measurement was split
into two separate ADC channels by means of two measuring resistors. The upper measured value of the
"Meas 0" curve is irrelevant because of the saturation of the ADC. Therefore, the lower section of the
"Meas 1" curve can only be used for low powers (below the middle measuring point). In the upper
measuring range, the curve of "Meas 1 is used. This results in rises and offsets of the two measuring
curves being extremely different. Only the lower measurement curve is used for the adjustment of the
LBO laser.

Three seconds after a fiber capable of being calibrated has been connected the laser device
automatically switches to the Ready mode.
Next, laser radiation is continuously emitted into the calibration port over about three minutes by actuation
of the footswitch. In doing so, the device automatically varies the power. At the end of the cycle, the laser
device automatically switches to Standby mode.
Any fault or interruption in the calibration cycle by means of the footswitch will result in complete abortion
of the calibration procedure. The TEC adjustment is based on heat detection. A new cycle can be started
only, if the calibration port has cooled down to an acceptable temperature. Accordingly, the TEC Adjust
key is locked for that period.
If the calibration procedure was successful, the values should be stored with the SAVE key. By pressing
RETURN, the adjustment menu is launched again. You can then repeat the procedure after a wait time
(cool-down).
Assessment of TEC adjustment:
At the end of the adjustment procedure, the following information is displayed on the laptop:

The error list is a ring memory holding 15 errors. The first error on the list is always the most recent error.
The oldest error is shifted out at the end of the list. Errors are registered with date and time. The last but
one figure is the line number of the error text of the language file. In the example given above, the last
error occurred on Wednesday, March 3, 2004 at 16:02. It was Error 23 (see table below): "Power supply.
The last figure, "+412" is the error code (see Section Error Messages), which further specifies the power
supply error. A triple minus does not mean an error. With the Up/Dn keys, you can switch between the
two pages. Every module has its own list. By touching "RESET, the error list of the activated module is
reset.
The language files, e.g. DEUTSCH.QTX, are ASCII text files that can be opened with any editor (e.g.
Notepad). If QTX files are not automatically associated with Notepad, you can create a corresponding link
under Windows.
Due to ongoing technical development, the language files will change. Always see to it that the
language file matches the software version and that the correct language file is selected in
troubleshooting.

For touching the adjusting cross hairs, use a pointed, but not scratching object (e.g. a
toothpick, etc.). The more accurate you mark the cross hairs, the better the coincidence will be.
During the calibration the equipment may not be turned off. In this case
irrelevant key coordinates are in the memory. In any case the calibration must
be led to the end, following the instructions. She can be repeated three times.
If she isn't successful after the third one, standard values are loaded.
If the data are destroyed nevertheless, so no button reacted, you can restore the standard
settings: To do this connect your laptop computer to the system and press the C button. Now
the keys on the touch screen should be found at her approximate right place. Please testing
carefully. With "Touch Adjust" is only a fine tuning possible.

Error Messages
Presently, 14 error messages exist on the system. To facilitate the localization of errors, a code number is
added to the messages. When the device is operating, the three question marks in the "Text" column are
replaced by the respective code numbers and thus not visible on the screen. Consequential errors are
possible. The previous code is given in brackets. In most cases, this error is the real cause of the fault.
Fibers are always detected twice. Here, the numbers given in brackets are meaningless.

Laser modules
9.1
Laser safety
All laser modules used are Class 4 laser devices as per DIN EN 60825-1
(IEC 825-1). In using the lasers, observe the relevant safety regulations on
the operation of laser devices (in Germany: Regulations for the Prevention
of Accidents BGV B2).
When servicing the device, make sure to wear laser-protective eyewear in
compliance with DIN EN 207 (Protection: DL 4 or higher for the respective
wavelength) when the laser is operating.
Never look directly into the laser beam. Emitted visible and invisible laser
radiation may cause irreversible skin and eye injuries and changes to
organic material.
9.2
Diode lasers are very sensitive to overvoltage. Therefore, when handling such
lasers, fitter, workbench and tools must be grounded. To provide ESD
(electrostatic discharge) protection, in inactive mode always take care to
ensure that the supply terminals are shorted (by a relay contact of the power
supply if built-in, or by a jumper if removed from the device).
9.3
The LBO laser module is purchased completely from an external supplier. Therefore, it must
never be opened, as this will void any warranty and liability claims.
Thus, servicing this module is restricted to a complete replacement of the module. Defective
modules have to be returned immediately to Asclepion Laser Technologies for lodging a
complaint to the manufacturer.

Laser cooling
The laser cooling system is designed to allow continuous laser operation at ambient
temperatures in the range from 15 to 30C. At lower ambient temperatures, the device instantly
displays a corresponding error message and switches off. At higher ambient temperatures, the
device keeps on operating until the temperature of the diode reaches the switch-off threshold.
The laser modules in the QuadroStar are air-cooled. The heat sink of the laser diode is
thermally linked to the heat dissipator. The dissipation heat of the diode is "pumped" into the
heat dissipator through two Peltier elements each (Thermo Electric Cooler TEC module). The
Peltier elements must feature a very high heat transfer. The Peltier elements are driven by the
TEC pcb. Temperature control is by clocked operation (on/off circuit). The temperature is
measured by two temperature sensors per laser module each and a sensor mounted to the
heat dissipator.
The heated heat dissipator is cooled through air convection provided by two fans mounted to
the inner front ends. The cooling air is aspirated externally through the left wall of the device
casing. A third fan forces the air out of the device again through the right wall of the casing.
The speed of rotation of the fans is controlled in steps as a function of heat dissipator
temperature.
To maintain air circulation, keep a minimum clearance of 15 cm at the rear and
the two side panels of the device.
When the threshold temperature is exceeded (heat dissipator: 45C; heat sink: 35C), the
device displays the current temperature and an error message and then switches to Standby.
The device should remain in Standby during cool down.
Due to the thermal inertia of the heat dissipator, the cool-down process after
an overtemperature error message may take ten minutes or longer.
Servicing of the laser cooling system is restricted to the replacement of defective fans, Peltier
elements and the TEC pcb.

12.1
Beam delivery from the laser modules to the handpiece is via transfer fibers. All transfer fibers
are separable from the handpieces.
The transfer fibers for LBO and diode laser are different. They differ in core diameter and
numerical aperture (LBO 400 m/0.22 NA and diode 600m/0.37 NA). To avoid any mix-up,
the fibers are color-coded (green = LBO, red = diode).
Additionally, all fibers are provided with a coding plug for detection and settings on the laser
device.
If there are any problems with these fibers, first check the transmission of the fiber without
handpiece. Then, measure the output power of the laser module by using the calibration fiber.
If the visual inspection of the laser connector does not provide any evidence for damage,
readjust the FPA.
12.2
Bare Fibers
Bare fibers are available only for the diode laser module and differ in diameter. These fibers
are also provided with coding plug allowing the device to identify the respective fiber and set
the basic parameters accordingly.
Consider that the maximum power through the bare fiber is limited. This limitation is displayed
by the laser device.
If you encounter any problems with the bare fibers, first check their distal end and break it off, if
necessary.
12.3
Special handpieces
These handpieces are also equipped with a transfer fiber. Their design corresponds to the
fibers with handpiece.

Safety Tests
Within the scope of the regular safety tests the following function tests and safety checks
should be performed. The results of the tests are to be recorded in the
Safety Test Record (14 0008 001):

Control unit
The computer used is an 80386ex CPU in PC104 format. The computer board is plugged onto
a controller pcb. The supply voltage of the computer is provided by the central laser power
supply. All control and data lines are connected to the controller pcb either directly or via an
additional DTI pcb (DTI = Dongle Temperature Interface).
15.1
Control concept
The device is powered by line voltage. In the case of a power failure (blown fuse, defective
power cable or similar fault), the device switches off. Turning the key switch triggers a start-up
process. Self-holding of the control computer is not necessary for a period of up to 20 seconds.
In this period, the system must boot and start the control software. The control software first
checks the checksum and, if no fault is detected, keeps up the power supply. When the laser
power supply (LPS) is started, automatically the watchdog system becomes active.
The control computer communicates with the display control unit (DCU) via an RS232 port
(COM1). The display control unit employs its own controller controlling graphics generation and
touch panel. The definition of graphics generation and the processing of pressed keys are
solely performed by the control computer.
15.2
Controller
The controller implements functions for the control of internal and external assemblies (I 2C bus,
serial port). The PC104-CPU 386EX from ARCOM (or compatible Seco CPU) serves as the
heart of the complete board. A 16-bit data bus and a 10-bit address bus serves for the
communication between the units.
An address decoder is used for selectively driving the individual components (see below). The
address decoder is a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) from XILINX.
The use of analog switches allows two actors (here: diode modules) to be driven with a
minimum in circuitry. However, simultaneous operation of two diode modules is not possible.
Individual components:
Pulse width modulator (PWM) for driving one each of two pilot lasers
PWM for driving one each of two diode drivers
XILINX-PLD as address decoder
Diode / device coding via dongle function by means of I2C bus (data storage of
specific diode life data)
Three serial ports (RS 232) for display, service, and one free
I2C bus for EPROM, I/O and universal interface

Current measurement
The separate current measurement system with current transformer and evaluation circuit
used in the device is directly powered by the laser power supply with an operating voltage of
+12V. The corresponding measuring signals (voltages) can be checked by means of a
multimeter on the DTI pcb (TP2, TP4 and TP5 as GND).
The measuring signals are acquired and evaluated on the controller pcb.
If the nominal/actual value difference (+/- 50%) is too large, the laser control stops pulsing and
displays an error message on the screen (see Section Software).
15.5
Calibration port
The front cover of the device has an opening with a calibration port located behind it, which
serves for the adjustment/calibration of the laser system.
1520 99 009
page 70 of 85
The laser power supply is a modular unit consisting of a reverse converter and one (laser diode
driver x1 55 0399 067) or two (laser diode driver x2 55 0399 068) current sources connected
on the load side for the operation of the diode lasers.
An external filter unit (QNF-PCB) is electrically connected between line power input module
(integrated in the power supply) and reverse converter to improve EMC. This filter unit is
mechanically mounted under a holding angle above the power supply. The filter unit can be
separated from the power supply and replaced, if defective.
Make sure to use only the original components (M3x 8mm screws and
washers A3,2 DIN 9021) for screwing the holding angle of the QNF pcb onto
the power supply.
Internal components of the power supply can only be replaced/repaired at the manufacturer's.
16.1
Operating principle
The laser power supply has one or two identical output modules (Section1 and Section2).
In practical operation, only one section each is active only.

Control signals
The necessary control signals are fed through the female sub-D connector CN4.
On devices with double laser (sections 1 and 2 equipped), make sure the control wires are
correctly assigned.
At Section1 (RED DIODE MODULE) red-labeled cable
At Section2 (GREEN LBO MODULE) green-labeled cable
Mixing up of control wires will result in activation (and even laser operation)
of the wrong laser module!
After any service work on the laser power supply, make sure to actively check
that laser radiation is emitted from the right fiber output.

For the exact pin assignments, refer to the system wiring diagram in Appendix 2.
The 100% adjustment of the PWM for fan speed and diode current must be checked with an
oscilloscope.
If no oscilloscope is available, you can use a multimeter for an approximate check.
Note: The multimeter only displays a mean value of the PWM voltage!
Therefore, only the 100% value of PWM is displayed correctly!

TEC pcb
The TEC pcb serves to ensure a constant operating temperature of the laser modules. To this
end, the instantaneous temperature is measured via NTC resistors in the respective laser
module and evaluated on the TEC pcb. If a previously set temperature threshold is reached,
the system switches between "cooling and "heating of the Peltier elements.
The cooling mode is signaled by LED DL1 for the LBO diode and LED DL2 for the IR diode.
The temperature thresholds are factory-adjusted and matched to the built-in
laser module (LBO). Therefore, the laser modules may only be replaced
completely with TEC pcb.

DTI pcb
The Dongle Temperature Interface (abbrev: DTI) serves to distribute and acquire control
signals.
A temperature sensor (type LM35CZ) is located as active element at the conductor side of this
board. It serves to acquire the heat dissipator temperature.
For the pin assignment of all cables, refer to the system wiring diagram (see Appendix 2).
The designations of connectors on the DTI pcb are listed below:
1520 99 009
page 79 of 85
The current transformer pcb serves (as described above) to acquire the diode current of the IR
and LBO module.
Depending on the model supplied, one or two diode current cables (red cable) must be
threaded through the current transformer considering the correct direction of current flow
(marked by an arrow).
A function test of the IR or the LBO module can be performed by checking the measuring
voltage at the current transformer output with the laser module switched on.
