2.1. LCD Module:
The LCD Module operates with 5VDC, powered via a 20 pin flat cable. The touch panel cable on the back of
the LCD module may be in poor contact if the monitor functions normally but a touch on it does not
produce any response. The replacement of the LCD module only is possible.

+12VDC (When referring to 1,2,3,4 pin from left and right, No.1 pin: 12VDC, No.4 pin: Gnd) is
supplied through Power in by adapter and SSR1 is the function which turns ON/OFF 75W SMPS for
Galvano Scanner and operates that SMPS is OFF in Stand By and SMPS turns ON when in Ready
Status. SSR2 operates Air Pump in LCD Ready.
Assuming the pins on the Scanner 4pin are named as No 1, 2, 3, and 4 from right to left, the test is
to obtain -2V, 4V, -2V, and 4V consecutively when power is allowed and they are measured by a DC
voltage tester; in case such voltages are obtained, the main board is in proper condition, otherwise it
should be replaced. SSR(Solid State Relay) functions to switch on and off AC lines and thus put the,
Air Pumps, and 15V-SMPS in operation at the LCD Ready mode. Command input signals are
transmitted via the Scanner 4pin to the Scanner Board, which controls the angles of the Servo motors.
The LP 6pin controls the pulse and power of the laser power module.

The laser glass tube is operational at high voltage (~30kVDC) and the tube is filled with CO2 gas. It
is hard to test its proper operation at an individual part level; accordingly, it should be checked
visually as to whether there is any breakage or whether coolant leaks. When its life expires, the blue
spark discharge generated by the laser becomes dim, when it must be replaced with a new one.
Be careful for coolant not to leak to the floor. Special attention should be paid to the glass tube
since it is so fragile and sensitive to shock.
1) Drain the coolant circulating by means of the cooling system and disconnect the silicone hose for
coolant circulation that is connected to the glass tube.
2) Separate the cathode and anode connectors of the laser high-voltage power supply.
3) Separate the back panel and the Clasp1 with a M4 wrench as shown in the figure.
Because a CO2 laser beam is invisible to human eyes, it is very important to align it in line with the
aiming beam. The necessary and sufficient condition dictates that two straight lines pass the same
two points in order to be equal in a three dimensional space. The principles are:
1) Put Paper A on the arm socket and emit the CO2 laser to an extent that the paper is slightly
scorched, and then align the scorched spot with the spot where the aiming beam touches. The
point is to adjust „a‟ distance and „b‟ distance by tightening the „a‟ and „b‟ ring nuts from both sides.
2) After the alignment of the proximal spot is finished, the distal spot, where Paper B is placed at no
less than 2 meters apart from the arm socket, has to be aligned in the like manner using „c‟ and „d‟
nuts.
3) Place the Paper A at the proximal spot and repeat the procedure stated in 1) and then do the
same explained in 2). Several numbers of repetition of the procedures will result in a simultaneous
alignment in Paper A and Paper B.
Anode
Cathode
It is a device supplying power (~30kVDC, several tens of mA) to the glass tube, which operates only with
220VAC current and at the LCD Ready mode. The testing method is to check whether the power supply fan
functions properly at the LCD Ready mode and measure the voltage of both ends- cathode and anode.
Since the high-voltage silicone cable linking cathode and anode is connected to both ends of the glass tube,
care should be taken not to break the tube, which is very sensitive to impact, when handling the silicone
cable.
The Water Pump is a device supplying the laser glass tube with
coolant, which operates with 220VAC. If it functions properly,
coolant circulates
The air pump operates with 220VAC and at the LCD Ready mode.
If air is not generated, check if the hose linked to the pump is
disconnected or there are any bends or folds on it.
Volume Control
2.10. 15V-SMPS:
It is supplied +-15VDC from the 15V-SMPS and controls the Galvano Servo motors. The
testing method is to check w
ith a DC voltage tester the voltage of the 4 pin connector (a,b: gnd / c:-15Vdc / d:
+15Vdc) of the scanner board at the LCD Ready state. In case the above-mentioned
voltages are not checked, it is either because the connection is not properly made or because the
15V-SMPS module is out of order. It should be noted that the Galvano Servo motors can be in
danger of breakdown if normal voltage is not supplied to the scanner board.
Outer parts
2.18. 7-articulated arm:
Because the arm installed with seven CO2 mirrors inside and they are all properly aligned, this part is
very fragile and sensitive to shock. When the angle of a mirror goes away due to outside shocks, the
alignment also becomes distorted. Once the alignment of the arm goes away, the alignment of both
the aiming beam and the CO2 laser beam also becomes distorted, in which case the arm needs
replacing.
The method of checking the conditions of the arm is:
1) Separate the hand piece that is fixed by a nut at the end of the arm.
2) Put a sticker on the face at the end of the arm from which the hand piece is separated so
aiming beam can be reflected.
3) Because, when the 7-articulated arm makes a swing, the aiming beam reflected on the sticker is
also swung, it is desirable that the center of the swing is situated in the middle of the sticker; the
smaller the width of a swing is, the better the alignment is.
Even though the center of swing is a little out of the center of the sticker, it would be acceptable as
long as there is any big problem with the use. Likewise, the swing width would be acceptable even
though a swing is a little out of center as long as there is any big problem with the use. However, it
should be replaced if a problem occurs in connection with the alignment of the arm.
Because the hand piece has three mirrors in total inside, it is very fragile and sensitive to shock. Two of them
are connected with the Galvano Scanner Servo Motors, whose connection makes scanning possible. A
shock may cause their alignment to go away; however, it will not result in a big problem due to its short
distance unless it becomes out of shape greatly. The hand piece tends to develop a problem with its
sensitive motor rather by shock than by alignment. Once it is booted and enters the LCD Ready mode, a
low ringing or whining sound coming from the running of motors can be heard, which it is judged that the
equipment is in normal operation. If the motor does not produce any response or works normally, a careful
inspection on the connection of the 26pin connector linking the arm and the main body needs to be carried
out.
1) Check whether power is normally supplied to the System or it enters the Standby Mode.
☞ See 2.16.
2) Check whether the coolant inside the glass tube circulates normally or whether there is any leakage.
☞ See 2.6. , 2.17
3) Check whether the fan works properly.
☞ See 2.14.
4) Check whether the 12V-Linear adapter works properly.
☞ See 2.9.
5) Check whether the yellow LED lamp of the 15V-SMPS is turned off.
☞ See 2.10.
6) Check whether the LCD monitor is booted normally.
☞ See 2.1. , 2.2. , 2.9.
7) Check whether the green LED on the front side is turned on.
☞ See 2.12.
8) Check whether the air pump functions properly after the System stands at the LCD Ready mode.
☞ See 2.7.
9) Check whether the yellow LED of the 15V-SMPS is turned on at the LCD Ready mode.
☞ See 2.10.
10) Fire the laser at the Ultra Pulse CW mode and check whether there is any problem with the laser
alignment.
☞ See 2.3. , 2.4. , 2.5.
11) Check the voltage of the 4pin connector of the scanner board separated a little while ago at the
LCD Ready state.
5. Trouble shooting
5.1. Symptom
■ All parts using electricity including the inside fan and the water pump do not work.
1) Check whether the 220VAC main power supply system is available in the building.
2) The circuit breaker on the back of the panel may be turned off; in that case, switch on power.
3) The fuses may be in poor condition. Open the fuseholder cover at the power cord of the back
panel and check the fuses. If they are broken, replace them with 250VAC 10A fuses.
4) The key switch may be in poor condition. It is designed to be in contact when it is turned on
(1a1b). Check whether the connection contact is made properly.
5) If there are no problems with the circuit breaker, fuses, or switch, chances are that the power line
may be in poor connection. The 220VAC line goes via the circuit breaker to the noise filter to
the key switch to the terminal block that distributes electricity.
5.2. Symptom
5.3. Symptom
■ The LCD monitor does not enter the scanning mode but the following sentences appear on the monitor.
This problem occurs when the LCD module gets shocks or when it is affected by noises. Carry out booting
again, and replace the LCD module if such problem continues to occur.
5.4. Symptom
■ The equipment is not able to produce aiming beams (aiming beam, red light) and CO2 laser beams.
1) The aiming beam and CO2 laser beam systems works independently; if the two systems do not
operate normally, chances are that the connection of the 7-articulated arm, the beam delivery
system, and the Fire-Xel‟ main body has gone away or the 7-articulated arm may be out of order.
After separating the 7 articulation arm from the Fire-Xel‟s main body and wiping out foreign
materials and dust in the connection area, reassemble them and put them to the test while
increasing the output of the aiming beam to its maximum.
2) If the connection with the main body turns out to be normal, you need to check first whether the
aiming beam module functions normally; after separating the arm again and entering the LCD
Ready mode, you have to check if aiming beam is generated above the arm socket. If aiming
beam is not produced, check whether the aiming beam connector is in good connection with the
main board; if it is not produced even though the connection is in order, it needs replacing.
☞ See 2.3.1.
3) If aiming beam is emitted normally, there is a good chance of the laser beam not being generated
due to the distorted alignment of the 7 articulation arm and the parts lying below it so a careful
examination should be performed on the condition of the 7-Articulated Arm.
☞ See 2.18.
4) If there is no problem with the arm, there is also a possibility that the hand piece that is a part
lying below it may has failure inside.
☞ See 2.19.
■ Even if the aiming beam module (aiming beam, red light) produces beams, the CO2 laser does not
produce beams or it produces only weak or partial beams.
1) If the aiming beam module produces beams that travel up to the end of the arm, both the aiming
beam module and the 7-Articulated arm do not have any problem; rather, chances are either the
alignment of the CO2 Laser has been distorted or the CO2 Laser system itself is out of order. If the
blue spark discharge in the glass tube are observed when opening the back cover and starting the
CO2 laser, that indicates that the CO2 Laser System does not have any problem rather the alignment
of the laser has gone away. ☞ See 2.4.2.
2) If a pillar of blue spark discharge are not observed when firing the laser, that indicates that the CO2
Laser System does not work properly, for which there are several causes. First check whether there
is any break or crack; if there is any problem with the tube, it needs replacing.
☞ See 2.4. , 2.4.1.
3) If there is no problem with the tube, check the cooling system. If the coolant runs so short as for
the laser not to operate properly, the life of the laser tube becomes lessened abruptly, in whose
case the blue spark discharge becomes weak and the system reaches the end of its life span; in this
case, the tube must be replaced. ☞ See 2.4. , 2.4.1.
4) The poor connection between the laser high-voltage power supply and the laser glass tube may be
the cause; check whether the connector between cathode and anode poles is in order.
☞ See 2.5.
5) The problem may lie in the laser high-voltage power supply itself. Check if the fan inside the laser
high-voltage power supply functions normally at the LCD Ready mode; if it does not work properly,
check if the laser power supply is normally provided with a 220VAC current. (The 220VAC is applied
via L and N lines out of L, N, and G lines.) ☞ See 2.5.
6) Check the voltage at both sides- cathode and anode-of the laser high-voltage power supply.
■ While aiming beam (aiming beam, red light) is not produced, CO2 laser beam is normally generated.
1) If the CO2 laser beam operates normally, that indicates there is no problem with the CO 2 laser
system and the 7-articulated arm; in this case there is a possibility that either the aiming beam
module is in poor condition or its alignment has gone away. First check whether the connector
of the aiming beam module is correctly linked to the main board.
2) If the connector turns out to be in order, the aiming beam module needs replacing. ☞ See 2.3.1.
5.7. Symptom
■ When CO2 laser beams are produced at the Scanning Mode, they turn out to be irregular. The System is
regarded as normal when there remain the printed spots of beams, but they leave scratches, instead.
Such scratches are formed because the scanner board, affected by noises, produces beams during
the travel, rather than it does while at standstill. There is a strong possibility that they may be
caused by an abnormal connection of the grounding with the power inlet of the Fire-Xel. Check
whether a building has a ground connection or the outlet provides a grounding device.
5.8. Symptom
■ When CO2 laser beams are emitted at the Scanning Mode, they are irregular; furthermore, aiming beams
and CO2 laser beams are not generated normally at specific areas or angles.
1) It is likely that the alignment is the cause. First check the alignment of the 7 articulation arm.
☞ See 2.18.
2) Check the alignment of the CO2 laser beam. ☞ See 2.4.2.
3) Check the alignment of the aiming beam module. ☞ See 2.3.1.
