1. Safety Information
Please read this manual carefully before attempting to install or operate the laser. This
user manual details all the health and safety issues regarding the safe installation and
operation. In order to ensure safe operation and optimal performance of this product,
please strictly and correctly follow the warnings, cautions, operating procedures and
other instructions accordingly.

● Flammable, explosive, volatile materials are prohibited from being placed in
the area of laser system operation, such as gasoline, alcohol and so forth.
Please also make sure the operating area is well-ventilated;
● Please make sure that a current-controlled AC power supply with proper
grounding is used. It is essential to avoid possible personal injury;
● Before connecting laser to alternating current (AC) power supply, please
make sure that the 220V AC power supply is connected properly. Wrong
connection will spoil the fiber laser.
Laser safety goggle prevents or reduces the laser damage to human eyes.
Choosing a safety goggle is based on the maximum output power (or energy), the
optical density (the larger the OD: OD value, the stronger the protective ability), the
visible light transmittance (the value is lower than 20%, and the laser need to be used
under the environment with good illumination).
2. Product Description
JPT CW fiber laser is the optimal combination of optical, mechanical, electrical and
software components. Through controlling ports and controlling software, the
operating status of the laser can be monitored in real time, alarm messages can be
received in time, and the data can be collected. The laser uses water-cooling and self
case design with competitive advantages of high energy conversion (electric to light),

1) Testing mode: When the key switch turns to “TEST”, and press the Start button,
test mode will be showed on user interface by using laser controlling software. You
can set the power on controlling software and click “Laser On” to emit. This
operation is generally used to test power and determine the faults ( Notes: You need
to press START button again every time when it emits).
2) Robot mode : The key switch turns to “ROBOT”, the ROBOT mode is selected
and is showed on the user interface. Press the “START” button and then once a signal
is given from external board card, the laser will emit. Emission under the Robot Mode
needs to fulfilling the following 3 conditions simultaneously:

Note: Please check the condition of laser power supply before power on. Power
supply is 380V AC±10%. The laser with abnormal voltage or lack of phase can not
work properly.
3. Software Control
JPT has developed the host computer software with special characteristics for optical
fiber system. The latest version of monitoring software is V-2020-05-10. This is more
convenient for customers to use, and also can be better to cooperate with production
and debugging. The main interface is as follows(Take 6000G as an example, note that
there is no module 3 on 4000G interface) :

3) After installing the RS232 driver, then connect both ends of the USB2.0 to RS232
universal serial cable to the laser and computer respectively (Note: any serial cable
20

Under this condition, the laser cannot be controlled through the software. There are 3
possible reasons for this: the laser is powered off, the standard USB2.0 to RS232
serial cable is damaged or wrongly connected. Please check for the reasons one by
one and restart the operation after troubleshooting.
21
CW-C-B-W-4000G&6000G User Manual
Please check all items against this list after unpacking: whether accessories are in
place, whether the cable is damaged, and whether the case shell is scratched,and so
forth. If any damage to the unit is evident or suspected, please keep the pictures and
contact JPT after-sale service immediately. Do not attempt to install or operate the
22
CW-C-B-W-4000G&6000G User Manual
laser in any case. As QBH output head of fiber laser is a precision accessory, please
pay attention to the following matters during shipping and operation.
Please handle the QBH carefully. Damage caused by violent bump, bend or
other improper use is not covered by the warranty.
The laser cable should never be trampled or bent to a circle with a radius less
than 20 cm. Any damage to the laser caused by the improper actions is not
covered by the warranty.
4.2 Installation
1. Place the laser and QBH on a steady horizontal operation platform respectively.
Make sure that no component of the laser will be dropped or shaken severely;
2. Connect the laser to the water cooler;
3. Connect QBH to the external device;
i. Make sure that installation environment is clean;
ii. Connect water inlet and outlet of QBH output head to the high temperature
inlet and outlet of the water chiller;
iii. Plug QBH output head into welding joint or cutting head, and tighten
properly to ensure that the laser head does not move;
iv. Remove the protective cap from the laser head before emitting, and place the
protective cap in an airtight plastic bag to prevent pollution. The plastic bag with the
protective cap should be placed in a specific position for future use;
4. Connect the serial communication cable to the corresponding port of the laser and
tighten the fixing bolt of the communication cable;
5. Connect external control signal interface to the user system and tighten its fixing
bolts;
6. Check whether the air switch is off. If not, switch it off;
7. Check whether the emergency stop button(switch) is off. If not, switch it off;
8. Make sure that the user’s power supply system is in the power-off state;
23
CW-C-B-W-4000G&6000G User Manual
9. Plug the AC cable into the cable port and connect the end to the user’s power
supply system.The installation of laser is completed according to the actions listed
above.
Attentions during installation:
The metallic platform must be well grounded when laser is installed on it.
There must be good electrical contact between the laser and installation
platform to ensure the laser is well grounded. If the laser is placed on
insulated platform, the laser drivers and laser head must be connected to the
protect ground of the building through individual measures;
The pollution of QBH laser head may lead to the degradation of the overall
performance of the laser, and may lead to the damage of the output head,
thereby reducing the output power even burning the laser.
25
CW-C-B-W-4000G&6000G User Manual
Note: QBH is covered with a packaging film when the laser is shipped from the
factory. When taking out and inserting the water pipe, please keep it clean to prevent
the dust and foreign material from entering into the water outlet, which may cause
damage.
As JPT continuous wave fiber lasers use water as cooling medium, the operating
temperature of the laser needs to be more than 10℃. When the internal
temperature of the laser system has big difference from the ambient temperature,
it can cause condensation easily, even irreparable damage for the laser. The
ambient temperature might be lower than 5 ℃ in winter, and it will greatly help
to protect the laser by taking anti-freezing measures.

1. Water temperature setting recommendation :
Summer time: The temperature range for chilled water is from 26 to 28℃; for
normal temperature water is from 28 to 30℃;
Winter time: The temperature range for chilled water is from 24 to 26℃; for
normal temperature water is from 26 to 28℃.
2. Specific anti-freezing measures:
1) Do not turn off the water cooler at night when there will never be a power failure;
2) Draining the cooling liquid in the laser, laser output head and water cooler after
the daily use;
3) Add a mixture of antifreeze and purified water as coolant.
