2.0 Installation Information
2.1 Introduction
The installation instructions are provided for use by Lumenis Field Service
Engineers, authorized service representatives, and Lumenis trained and certified
customer technicians.
Warning! Installation of this system by untrained persons is a potential

hazard to the persons doing the installation, others present, and to the
equipment itself. In addition, improper installation is a potential hazard to
the user, persons present during system use, and the patient.
Note: Whenever references to the Coherent LM-2 power detector head are
made in this manual, it is assumed that the 1000:1 attenuator is already
attached to the LM-2 power detector head.
2.2 Site Preparation and Inspection
1. Survey the path from receiving area to treatment room. Note and
avoid stairs, elevators, door thresholds, thick carpet, etc.
The console is 25.4 cm (10 in) wide, by 35.6 cm (14 in) long, by 15.2 cm
(6 in) high, and weighs approximately 9.1 kg (20 lbs).
2. Survey treatment room space and environment.
The power cord is 4.1 m (13.5 ft) long for 110 Vac installations (125V
rating on cord), and 2.4 m (8 ft) for 220 Vac installations (250V rating on
cord). The footswitch cable is 4.6 m (15 ft) long. A minimum of 15.2 cm
(6 in) of clearance is required around the console to allow adequate air
circulation for cooling.
The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) for the Novus Spectra
varies according to the attached delivery device. Please refer to the
chart below:
LaserLink Z 6.78 m (22.25 ft)

LIO 18.03 m (59.16 ft)
Acculite and EndoOto Endoprobes 2.77 m (9.1 ft)
Novus Spectra Service Manual Installation Instructions

PB-002141-02 REV B 2-1
Any area inside this distance is in the Nominal Hazard Zone (NHZ).
Verify that treatment room door is lockable (or interlocked), and verify
that any treatment room window is covered.
The system releases the heat it generates to the environment (at the rear
panel vent). During normal operation, the system can dissipate up to
2,254 Btu/hr (maximum). Verify that air-conditioner is able to maintain
room temperature within 10°C to 37°C (50°F to 99°F).
3. Check electrical supply and connection.
The Novus Spectra can be connected to any grounded electrical system

that meets the following specification:
100 - 240 Vac ± 10%, 5 Amps, 50/60 Hz, single phase, grounded
For USA installations, the system ships with a "hospital grade" power
cord rated at 15A/125V that plugs into any NEMA 5-15 receptacle.
International systems whip with a power cord rated at 15A/250V without
an attached plug.
Electrical preparation is normally completed before the Engineer is

scheduled to do the installation. The customer’s engineer or electrician
is responsible for preparing the site electrical service and for supplying
an approved electrical connection (plug) to the outlet (for installations
with a connection other than NEMA 5-15).
2.3 Unpack System
1. Check the exterior of the cardboard shipping container(s) for any

signs of damage.

2.5 Slit Lamp Installation Procedure
Typically, the Novus Spectra will be installed on an existing Zeiss (or Zeiss
compatible) slit lamp. If a slit lamp was purchased with the laser console,
installation of the slit lamp and table will be necessary. Detailed installation
instructions are provided in the operator manual (with drawings). Install the slit
lamp per manufacturers instructions.
2.6 LaserLink Z Installation Procedure
Detailed user installation instructions are provided in the operator manual (with
drawings). These instructions are summarized below.
1. For Zeiss 125 installs only, confirm the lamp is really a 125.
The Zeiss 100 looks just like a 125, but the LaserLink Z will not work with
the 100. Look for the number "100" or "125" on the lens holder at the
viewing optics objective lens. "100" indicates that the lamp is a Zeiss
100, and cannot be adapted for use with the LaserLink Z.
2. Install the Eye Safety Filter.
Remove the binoculars, install the filter onto the mount the binoculars
were removed from (ESF flange side towards the magnification
changer), and then reinstall the binoculars on the ESF.
3. Replace the slit lamp mirror assembly with the split mirror
assembly included in the kit.

2-6 PB-002141-02 REV B
For 125 and 20SL systems, the illumination mirror assembly can be lifted
(straight up) off its mount, and then the new split mirror assembly is
installed in its place (align the spring on the inside of the new split mirror
assembly to the groove on the mount, then just slide it on).
For 30SL systems, the slit lamp mirror assembly is removed by

loosening the retaining ring just below the mirror assembly (turn it
clockwise), then lifting the mirror assembly up off its mount. Once the
mirror assembly is removed, the new split mirror assembly is installed by
aligning the pin on the inside of the new split mirror assembly with the
slot on the mount, sliding the assembly down onto the mount, then
tightening the retaining ring (counterclockwise to finger tight).
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the mirror on the telescope assembly or

the split mirrors on the illumination tower, move the illumination housing
well off to one side before mounting the telescope assembly.
4. Mount the telescope assembly to the top of the slit lamp

magnification changer.
Begin by moving the illumination housing well off to one side. If a

tonometer (or some other device) is installed on the top of the
magnification changer, remove it, then install the telescope assembly in
its place. The telescope assembly mounts with a thumbscrew and two
guide pins. Make sure the guide pins are snug in their mounting holes
(spread the retaining pin legs a bit with a screwdriver if not).
5. Secure the ESF cable and delivery fiber to the lamp chin rest post
and connect both to the Novus Spectra console.
Use the Velcro strap on the fiber to secure the ESF cable and delivery
fiber to a chin rest post with a nice, soft, gradual bend in the fiber at the
top of the telescope. The Velcro helps to hold the fiber up to maintain a
large bend radius. Sharp bends can lead to fiber failure.
2.7 Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO) Installation Procedure
Optionally, the Novus Spectra can be installed with a Laser Indirect

Ophthalmoscope (LIO) as one of the delivery systems. If an LIO was purchased
with the laser console, installation of the LIO will be necessary. Detailed
installation instructions are provided in the operator manual (with drawings).
Install the slit lamp per manufacturers instructions.

PB-002141-02 REV B 2-7
2.8 Remote Interlock Switch Installation Procedure
The customer may elect to install a remote switch (door interlock device) to
monitor a door to the treatment room where the Novus Spectra is used. If the
interlocked door is opened, the system will be disabled from firing. A 2.5 mm
(1/8 in) mono audio plug (DP-02-056) is required that must be wired to a
customer supplied door switch so that the switch is closed when the door is
closed. The door switch contact must be rated for 12Vdc/0.1A service. The plug
must be connected to the “Remote Interlock” receptacle at the rear panel on the
Novus Spectra.
Total length of cable from the door switch to the interlock plug cannot exceed 4.5
m (15 ft). The plug must be wired as follows:
Tip: Connect the plug tip to the N.O. contact of the switch. When the
door is closed, the N.O. switch contact to be connected to switch
COM.
Shaft: Connect the plug shaft to switch COM, connect to the switch
common contact.

Note: The wavelengths indicated in the () are the wavelength values that must
be entered into the power meter, when using a wavelength specific power
meter, before measuring the power out at the specific wavelengths.
2. Verify power calibration.
With the power meter still connected as above, activate User mode
operation, and then confirm the power calibration at minimum, mid range
and maximum power settings. The power as indicated at the power
meter must be within ± 10% of the selected power (at the control panel)
for each power setting.

PB-002141-02 REV B 2-9
3. Verify pulse duration (pulse width, or on-time).
To check the exposure time, connect oscilloscope to TP17 on the Analog

I/O PCB (located at the top of the stack). Select 100 mW power.
Confirm that actual exposure time is within ± 10% of the selected
exposure time, across the range of selectable exposure times.
4. Verify pulse interval (time between pulses).
With the oscilloscope still connected as in the previous step, test the
interval mode timing by selecting repeat mode at each of the repeat
mode intervals, minimum to maximum. Verify proper treatment intervals
are within ± 10%.
5. Check out the slit lamp delivery system (if installed).
a. Check the slit lamp illumination and the visual focus (refer to Slit
Lamp service manual).
b. Check the aiming beam movement and coincidence to
treatment beam.
c. Check ESF operation. Check for proper movement and confirm
the Novus Spectra will not fire if the ESF is held out of the
viewing path (remove the binoculars, restrain the filter, try to
fire).
d. Place power meter at focal plane and confirm calibration
through slit lamp at 100 micron and 50 micron spot sizes.
Delivered power must be within ± 10% of displayed power
across the power range at 100 microns and ± 20% of displayed

distance and focus. Attach a target card at the chin rest, visible
through the slit lamp. Set magnification to maximum, focus the
slit lamp on the target using the joystick, and set the slit lamp for
no slit walk.

2-10 PB-002141-02 REV B
d. Turn on the Novus Spectra and get an aiming beam projected
onto the target.
Caution: It is very important that the LaserLink be adjusted for focus at 50

microns, and not at any other spot size.
Select a 50 micron spot size, adjust the laser spot position for centering in the
illumination and field of view, then adjust the laser beam focus control for
smallest spot on the target.
e. Check the power calibration.

Check power at minimum, maximum, and across the range using a
calibrated power meter. Measured power must be within ± 10% of
requested power at 100 micron spot size.
f. Make test burns.

Confirm spot sizes match those on the yellow test burn card, using
the power settings, exposure times and spot sizes printed on the
card.
7. Check out the LIO (if installed).
a. Check LIO illumination.

b. Confirm the focal distance and spot size out of the LIO.
Connect the LIO fiber to a fiber port. The LIO comes with either of
two lens assemblies installed. Each of the two available lens
assemblies has a different focal distance, allowing the system to be
set up for a particular doctor's reach. Check to see which lens
assembly is installed, then confirm that the laser spot out of the LIO
is focused at the distance and size indicated below.
c. Confirm the power calibration.

Check delivered power at minimum, maximum, and across the
range using a calibrated power meter. Delivered power as indicated
on the power meter must be within ± 10% of selected power across
the range, and is typically much better.

3.0 Alignment, Adjustment and
Calibration
3.1 Overview
This section contains procedures for the field checks and adjustments required to
maintain the Novus Spectra. The procedures assume the reader has
successfully completed a Lumenis service department training course on the
Novus Spectra. The information in this manual is subject to update by field
service bulletins and service manual revisions.
Whenever any preventive or corrective maintenance is performed on the Novus

Spectra, the system must pass all portions of the Operational and Safety
Checkout (Section 2.9) before the system is returned to the user.
3.1.1 Procedure List
The procedures should be performed in the order presented, from beginning to

end. If only a portion of the procedure is done, the servicing technician must
consider the possible effect of doing just that portion of the procedure (i.e., there
may be adjustments done earlier or later in the procedure that impact or are
impacted by the portion performed).
Topic 3.2, Resonator (Laser) Plate Alignment – performed whenever active or

passive optical components within the resonator plate are changed or if the
resonator power is low. This procedure must be performed in a clean and dry
environment.
Topic 3.3, Output Delivery (Aiming Beam) Alignment – provides instructions

to align the photocells, coaxially align the treatment beam and aiming beams,
and to center the lasers at the fiber port for maximum transmission.
Topic 3.4, Electrical Adjustments – performed to set operating temperatures of

the TEC (Thermo-Electric Cooler) circuits to provide optimum temperature to cool
the pump diode and to heat the KTP crystals, and to set up current limit
parameters for the pump diode.
Topic 3.5, Mechanical Adjustments – performed for fiber alignment.
Topic 3.6, Power Calibration – calibrates the voltage output per watt (V/W) of
two internal power detection circuits when compared to the service technician’s
external power meter.
Novus Spectra Service Manual Alignment, Adjustment and Calibration

PB-002141-03 REV B 3-1
3.1.2 TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
• Calibrated Digital Voltmeter with true RMS capability (such as Fluke 77).
• Calibrated power meter (such as Coherent FieldMaster with LM2* head or
Ophir Nova with PD-300 head).
• Calibrated oscilloscope, TekScope Autoranging 60 MHZ Scope/DMM or
equivalent.
• Calibrated Current meter, Tektronics A622 AC/DC or equivalent.
Special purpose test equipment/tools:
• PC to Novus Spectra serial cable

• SMA straight plug (any resistor value)
• Multimeter
• Potentiometer adjustment tool
• PC with Novus Spectra Calibration Utility REV E Software and Upload Utility
REV B1 software installed with calibration files.
Note: Some power meters may not provide accurate power readings when used
in close proximity to the Novus Spectra. If power readings fluctuate, use
the power meter on battery power (to eliminate electrically induced noise
from the meter’s power cord) and keep the cable between the power
meter display and head away from other electrical components as much
as possible.
3.2 Resonator (Laser) Plate Alignment
The Resonator Plate and Beam Plate are aligned on a special test fixture with a
separate HeNe laser for aligning the laser cavity in a clean room environment.
This fixture is mounted on a laser test bench with the Resonator Plate and Beam
Plate mounted horizontally to the test fixture.
The Resonator Plate is highly susceptible to dust particles damaging the optics in
the laser beam path when the Resonator is opened in a non-clean room
environment. Due to this condition, currently there are no procedures and test
fixtures available for performing a Resonator Plate alignment in the field.
3.3 Output Delivery (Aiming Beam) Alignment
3.3.1 Purpose and Scope
Alignment, Adjustment and Calibration Novus Spectra Service Manual

3-2 PB-002141-03 REV B
The purpose of this section is to describe the aiming beam alignment procedure for SMA
laser systems including the Novus Spectra and Elite.
3.3.2 Procedure
The laser beam alignment is done through a 50um fiber. The alignment is done
by a push pull system with the 4 (3/32’’) screws on the optical delivery. The
screws are positioned at 12 and 6 o’clock and at 3 and 9 o’clock, and are turned
simultaneously to produce a dot with sharp edges.
Warning: Laser diodes are very static sensitive and should only be
handled when the proper ESD precautions have been taken.
Note: Aiming beam alignment is best accomplished in a somewhat dark room.
3.3.2.1 Aiming Beam Collimation
1. Remove the laser diode clamp mounted on the y pivot adjustment

assembly (2-3/32’’ screws) with the diode housed in the clamp.
Point laser diode in a safe direction for alignment.
2. Loosen the aiming diode clamp screw (3/32) enough for movement,
but leave it somewhat snug to reduce undesirable slippage. Push
the laser diode all the way forward, so the front of the Delrin aiming
diode insulator makes contact with the bottom of the counter-bore
in the clamp. Then turn the laser diode on for comfortable viewing
intensity.
3. With the laser diode pressed all the way in, point it toward a stable
target and slowly pull it back until the beam becomes a visible
rectangular/oval spot approximately 1 1/2 mm x 3mm in length at a
distance of about 20cm (8 in.).

PB-002141-03 REV B 3-3
a. Once the desired spot size is achieved at the 20cm distance,
move the diode back to 1m, then 3m, while maintaining its
position through the beam path. Verify that the beam spot does
not deviate in size and is still 1 1/2mm x 3mm in length plus or
minus 1/2mm. If the spot size is out of range at any of the
distances, pull the laser diode back in the clamp and recheck
the spot sizes at the distances above until an adequate spot
size is achieved at all three distances.
Note: The key to achieving a good collimated aiming beam output is always to
start with the laser diode pushed all the way forward into the clamp, and
never pull the laser diode back far enough to where the beam waist
focuses tightly and propagates from it’s converging state to a diverging
state before the length of a 3 to 4m distance range. Doing so will likely
guarantee adequate coupling of the aiming beam into a 50-µm fiber every
time.

3-4 PB-002141-03 REV B
3.3.2.2 Aiming Beam Alignment
1. Once the aiming beam has been aligned in the housing, attach the
laser diode housing to the Y Pivot Assembly. On the Y Pivot
Assembly there are two (3/32) screws; the bottom one is a push
screw to move the beam up and the top one is a pull screw to move
the beam down. With these two screws you will be able to achieve
the vertical alignment portion of the aiming beam.
2. The aiming beam mirror assembly is mounted to the top of the

shutter block assembly. This is used to accomplish the X
adjustment for the aiming beam alignment. Loosen the two (3/32)
mirror locking screws and use the two spanner wrench holes to
adjust the X alignment. Insert a spanner wrench into the holes and
move the mount from side to side. Attach a 50um fiber to the SMA
fiber port and work back and forth between the Y pivot adjustment
and the X alignment adjustment until the desired aiming beam
profile (crisp and uniform spot throughout) is achieved.
3.4 Electrical Adjustments
There is a temperature set point for the KTP crystal and one for the laser head.
The laser head temperature and the current limit are set in calibration and should
not be separated. The KTP temperature is set by a set point set by measuring
between TP1 (GND) and TP5 (SET). The KTP and laser head temperature are
listed on a sheet that should come with the laser head. The current limit should
always be 42 Amps.

PB-002141-03 REV B 3-5
3.5 Mechanical Adjustments
3.5.1 Fiber Alignment
Using a 50µ fiber and power set to minimum. Adjust alignment

using the 4 screws on the optical delivery in a push pull manner till the
beam is as sharp as possible.
3.6 Power Calibration
3.6.1 Required Equipment/Tools
The following equipment/tools are required for calibration:
• FieldMaster (or equivalent) power meter.

• LM-2 detector head w/1000:1 attenuator (or equivalent) detector head.
• Potentiometer adjustment tool.
• DVM, Fluke 77 or equivalent.
• Laser safety eyewear
• SMA straight plug (392KΩ resistor value)
Warning! Dangerous laser radiation and lethal electrical current is exposed

when the protective covers are removed. Only Lumenis Service
Representatives or Lumenis certified technicians should work on the laser
with the protective covers removed.
3.6.2 Prerequisites
• The Novus Spectra laser CPU board “Flash” memory must be programmed
with the “Boot Block” code.
• For the Novus Spectra laser to be calibrated, it must be assembled correctly
and pass all startup tests in calibration mode, i.e., it must be able to reach the
standby state with “ECAL” displayed in the count display and without any
“FXXX” error codes.

NOTE: If you are using an optical head like the LM2 you will see the
requested power on the meter head. If you are using a thermal head
like an Ophir 30A-SH-V1 you will see half of the requested power, i.e.
request 1W meter will read 500mW.
6. Place the laser in ready mode.
7. Fire the laser and adjust R29 on the Analog board until the required
power is seen on the power meter.
Caution: Adjust r37 on the Analog Board if the value on the volt
meter exceeds ±100mV otherwise an F503 or F504 will occur. If this
happens adjust R29 back 2 full turns from were it is and restart the
laser.
8. Adjust R37 on the Analog board until the volt meter reads as close
to zero as possible, no more then ±5mV.
9. Verify power settings at 50mW, 1000, and 2000mW are within ±20%.

4.0 Theory of Operation
4.1 Introduction
The Novus Spectra, a portable, air-cooled, diode pumped solid-state, frequency

doubled Nd:YAG (output 532 nm) ophthalmic laser product, is intended to
perform photocoagulation and endo-photocoagulation in private offices, clinics
and operating theaters. Laser light will be delivered through an optical fiber to a
variety of delivery devices including slit lamps, slit lamp adapters, optical fiber
probes, and Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscopes (LIO). Indicated procedures
include retinal photocoagulation, trabeculoplasty and iridotomy where color
specific absorption, small spot size, and high power densities are required. This
product is designed for worldwide sales.
The Novus Spectra Ophthalmic Laser is comprised of the following functional

components:
• A Main Console, including -

o Power Switching, Conditioning, and Distribution
o Temperature Control System
o Control Electronics
o Laser Power Supply
o Optical Components
o Software
o User Interface
LED Pushbutton
Footswitch
Remote Interlock\
Optional Remote Touch Display
• Delivery System
o LaserLink attachment to Slit Lamp
o Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO)
o Endoprobe
• Physician Filter (Eye Safety Filter)
4.1.1 Main Console
Novus Spectra Service Manual Theory of Operation

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-1
The main console of the Novus Spectra houses the power supply, control
electronics, laser system and optical components, thermoelectric heating/cooling
system, heat sink and fan. Various delivery devices can be attached to the
console at the fiber port. The system is primarily controlled by front panel
switches surrounding an LED display. The system can also be controlled via an
optional Remote Control panel.
4.1.2 Delivery Systems
The Novus Spectra laser system is intended for use with several types of delivery
systems. It can be used with Zeiss and Haag-Streit slit lamp laser attachments.
It can be used with Heine and Keeler Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscopes. Laser
light can also be delivered via straight or angled Acculite and EndoOto
disposable probes. Slit lamps will have their own power cords plugging into wall
power. Slit lamps and the LIO have their own illumination power supplies.
4.1.3 Physician Filter (Eye Safety Filter)
The physician filter (eye safety filter) connects to the main console via cable to
the Accessory port. The console can drive either linear motor or solenoid driven
filters. The system auto-selects the mode of operation for the eye safety filters.
Filters can be used in fixed, moving, selectable, or smart selectable modes. The
eye safety filter will have clinically acceptable visibility for the treatment (green)
and aiming (red) laser wavelengths.
4.1.4 Footswitch
The footswitch activates the laser treatment. The footswitch connects to the rear
panel of the main console via a cable. For additional safety, the footswitch main
pedal contains two redundant switches. Three footswitch models are available:
Standard – a footswitch assembly containing one pedal with the ability to

determine positions UP (laser firing disabled) and DOWN (laser firing enabled).
Upon pressing down on the pedal, the eye safety filter moves into the beam path,
and the laser fires treatment pulse(s) at the requested parameters.
“Smart” – a standard footswitch assembly with additional optical (IR) sensors

located at the housing entrance to detect the presence of the physician’s foot.
When the system detects the “foot-in-switch” condition to be true, the eye safety
filter moves into the beam path.
Power Ease – a standard footswitch assembly that incorporates two horizontally

opposed pedal switches above and around the main pedal. The left pedal, when
pressed, reduces output power by one step for each press. The right pedal,
Theory of Operation Novus Spectra Service Manual

4-2 PB-002141-04 REV B
when pressed, increases the output power by one step for each press. While
firing the laser (with main pedal), the left and right pedals are ignored.
4.2 Power Switching, Conditioning & Distribution
4.2.1 Main Input Power
The Novus Spectra laser is designed to meet UL2601-1, IEC 60601-1-1, 60601-
1-2, 60601-1-4, 60601-1-22, and 60825-1, and CSA 22.2 No. 601 requirements.
The laser is available in one electrical configuration with a universal, 100-240
VAC, 5.0 A power input.
The supplied hospital-grade power cord should be used with a standard 110-
120VAC 15A wall outlet.
4.2.2 Power Distribution
Power input enters the system via the IEC 320 compatible line filter in the rear of
the unit. The main input power is dual fused with two T-type 5x20mm 250 V, 5A
Slo Blo. The fuses are located in the fuse holder directly below the main power
receptacle on the rear of the system. The front panel key switch is in series with
both AC mains poles to provide direct interruption of line and neutral to the XPIQ
AC to DC power supply
4.2.2.1 AC to DC Power Supply Module
The AC to DC power supply board converts 100-240VAC to 48VDC (Two 24VDC

Bricks) @480 Watts. Its output modules provide open collector, active low status
signal; PWR VALID 1\ and PWR VALID 2\ to the 48V INTERLOCK. A separate
5V, 50mA line provides power for the interlock control circuitry.
4.2.2.2 Low Voltage Monitor
There are two sets of low voltage signals; the first set (+12V, -12V, +5V) is
monitored by U3; the second set (+3.3V, +2.5V, +1.8V) is monitored by U4. If
the first set of voltages is normal, U3 generates an active-low output signal
LV_UNDER_1\. If one of the monitored voltages goes 10% low LV_UNDER_1\
will send a high signal to the CPLD on the 48 Volt Interlock which will shut off the
Solid State Relay which supplies voltage to the Power Supplies for the Diode
Drive Base and the TEC Heater/Cooler.
LV_OVER_1 is an active high and is not dedicated at this time, but if this signal
goes low the CPLD on the 48 Volt Interlock will shut the Solid State Relay down.
If the second set of voltages are normal, U4 generates an active-low output

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-3
LV_UNDER_2\. If one of the monitored voltages goes 10% low then
LV_UNDER_2\ will send a high signal to the CPLD on the 48 Volt Interlock which
will shut down the Solid State Relay, which supplies power to the power supplies
for the Diode Drive Base and the TEC Heater/Cooler. If either of these fault
conditions happens the system will generate an error code though the FPGA on
the Digital board and CPU and the system will not fire. (See the Low Voltage
Monitor Loop figure below.)
Low Voltage Monitor Loop
There are three Interlock Status bits (ILOCKSTATUS0-2) that are generated in
the CPLD of the 48 Volt Interlock board and are accessible with a probe on the
Low Voltage Monitor (TP 13-15). They are sent to the FPGA on the Digital
board. The table below shows the different states and their causes.

4.2.2.3 48 Volt Interlock
The fuses for the internal part of the system are located on the 48 Volt Interlock.
There are six fuses; five are used and one is not used or stuffed on the board
(F3). F1 is a 3 Amp. 125V Fast Blow for the Diode Drive. F2 is a 7 Amp. 125V
Fast Blow for the TEC Heater/Cooler. F4 is a 2 Amp. 125V Fast Blow for the
Fans. F5 is a 5 Amp. 125V Fast Blow for the 48V to the Auxiliary Power Supply.
F6 is a 2 Amp 125V Fast Blow for the 24V to the Auxiliary Power Supply.
The 48 Volt Interlock has a CPLD that monitors Room Interlock signal
(ROOM_OK\), the E-stop switch signal (E_STOPPED) and the low voltage
signals from the Low Voltage Monitor. If one of these signals has a fault
condition, the CPLD will shut off power to the Solid State Relay that runs the
power supplies for the Diode Drive Base and TEC Heater/Cooler, then it sends a
signal to the FPGA on the Digital board via the Interlock Status signals to send
the error to the Front Panel.
Note: The 48 Volt Interlock has 3 different electrical grounds: IGND, DGND, and
SSIGND, are all optically isolated to eliminate ground loops. Care should
be taken during all troubleshooting to avoid erroneous readings. Cross
probing may cause laser interlock damage.
4.2.2.4 CPU Board
The CPU Board uses the DD-TEC HC EN\ signal to shut the power down
through the 48 Volt Interlock if there is a problem in the stack other then low
voltage.
4.3 Temperature Control Systems
The cooling system for the Novus Spectra consists of three DC fans to move air
through the inside of the console, heater/cooler to heat and cool the head, and
the KTP heater to heat the crystal to a given set point.
4.3.1 DC Fans
The three DC fans consist of a large fan mounted under the head, and two
smaller fans mounted on the rear of the system. The air is blown up onto the

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-5
head assembly though the heat sink on the bottom of the head and then out the
back of the unit (see figure below).
DC Fans
4.3.2 Heater/Cooler PCB
The Heater/Cooler’s primary function is to provide temperature control for the

laser diode. It does this by providing current to peltier devices (TEC’s) mounted
between the laser engine and heat sink. The output current is controlled by the
software control loop, which provides linear control as well as switching the
polarity of the output via the H bridge. The stack monitors a 100k ohm NTC
thermistor, which is mounted to the laser diode and controls the TEC
Heater/Cooler though two digital outputs and one analog output.
4.3.2.1 Power Supply Interface
The Heater/Cooler power supply (Vicor) is a 48 volt DC in 5-17 volts DC out. It

has two means of control, the Primary Control Pin (PC pin) and the Secondary
Control Pin (SC pin). The primary control pin can be used to disable the module
but is by default enabled. When the module is enabled 6VDC can be measured
on the PC pin with respect to –IN. To disable the module the PC pin needs to be
pulled low. The secondary control pin is used to linearly control the output of the
module. With the SC pin the module can be controlled from 10% to 110% of the
nominal voltage.

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-7
4.3.2.2 Digital Interface
P46 provides the interface to the Digital I/O board, which provides the following
functions:
• HEAT\ activates Q2 and Q4 via ISO1 U3B and U4A allowing current to flow
through the TECs in the direction that causes the TECs to heat on the laser
cavity side.
• COOL\ activates Q1 and Q3 via ISO2 U3A and U4B allowing current to flow
through the TECs in the direction that causes the TECs to cool on the laser
cavity side.
• TEC OFF\ allows the stack to shutdown PS1 via ISO3, which when active
shorts the PC pin on PS1 to – IN.
• DGND is the Digital ground point for the digital power supplies on the board.
• D+12V is the Digital +12 volt power supply.
• D-12V is the Digital –12 volt power supply.
4.3.2.3 Analog Interface
P48 provides the interface to the Analog I/O. TEC DRIVE – and TEC DRIVE +
are differential signals whose potential ranges from 0.256 to 0.883. This
differential signal is converted to a single-ended signal through U1 and then
buffered through U2 to drive the SC pin on PS1. D2 and D3 assure that the SC
pin is not driven above the specified 1.5 volt maximum. This results in an output
range of 5 to 17.2 volts from the +OUT and –OUT pins of PS1.
4.3.2.4 TEC Failure Detect Circuit
U6 monitors the output voltage of the TEC Heater/Cooler while U5 monitors the
output Current of the TEC Heater/Cooler. These two values are compared at
U7A. If a TEC failure occurs and the output current drops to 91% of the
expected 0.542 amps per volt, while the COOL\ signal is active, the output of
U7A will latch high lighting LED3 and sending an active high signal to the stack.

4-8 PB-002141-04 REV B
Digital Heater/Cooler Control Loop
4.3.3 KTP Heater
The KTP Heater’s function is to maintain the KTP crystal temperature above the
set point determined by the head alignment technician. The optimal temperature
for the KTP is 40 degrees C; the set point is located on the spec sheet that
comes with the head.

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-9
When the temperature of the KTP crystal drops low enough that the voltage drop
across the 100K ohm NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor
mounted on the KTP crystal exceeds the set point, (determined by the voltage
divider adjustable by R5 measured on TP5), the current through Q1 is increased,
at 5mV per mA, to heat the 100 ohm resistor also mounted on the KTP crystal
until the voltage drop across the thermistor matches the SET voltage. (See
schematic for KTP Heater section 8)
4.4 Control Electronics
4.4.1 Overview
The Control Electronics execute software instructions to provide overall control of

the Novus Spectra. The Control Electronics monitor all events that occur when
the system is functioning properly and displays messages and status to the Front
Panel. When the Control Electronics detect a fault, they will determine the nature
of the fault and how the system should handle the fault. Some faults will control
the hardware to disable the system while other faults may just send messages to
the Front Panel indicating no footswitch, ESF, etc.
4.4.2 The Stack
The stack is a group of 4 boards mounted together on spacer blocks, and

consists of the Analog I/O, Digital I/O, CPU, and the Auxiliary Interface board.
For individual circuit descriptions please see below.
4.4.3 Analog I/O
The Analog I/O has a 16-bit interface to the CPU bus, which has 4 functions:
• Sense and control of analog system levels during normal operation using 12-
bit, parallel loading DACs and ADCs.
• Hardware sense of light emission safety circuits: Overpower, Pulse Detect,
and Inadvertent Exposure.
• Accommodate self-diagnostic of analog safety channels during laser standby
mode through loop back of safety critical channels.
• Set gain on light and current sensing channels.
4.4.3.1 Power Supply Interface

4-10 PB-002141-04 REV B
The analog board interfaces with the Auxiliary Power Supply through J3. It
receives all the low voltages, which are then filtered to minimize power supply
noise, and can be measured as follows:
Test Point Voltage
TP1 +5V
TP2 +12V
TP3 -12V
TP4 -5V
TP5 +2.5V
TP6 +3.3V
Digital ground (TP7&8 DGRD) also enter the board through J3. It is then filtered
to create analog ground (TP9&10 AGND) and shield (SGND) grounds.
4.4.3.2 System Bus Interface
J1 and J2 combine to form the 16-bit control interface between the Analog I/O
and the CPU board. The FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) functions as a
data transceiver/decoder between the system bus and the data converters.
PROM (U3) contains the HDL software that is serially downloaded to the FPGA
on power-up. When this is completed correctly the red DONE LED (D5)
illuminates.
4.4.3.3 Analog to Digital
There are eight analog input channels:

• four are differential input, high-speed programmable gain (Main and Safe
LTFB, Current, Fiber Resister)
• two are differential input, low offset (ESF Resistor 1 & 2)
• two are dedicated thermistor sense channels.
All channels are programmed for gain of 1 and accept voltage levels in the –10V
to +10V range. Light feedback channels are gain adjustable (R29 & R37) for
calibration.
4.4.3.4 Digital to Analog
There are eight analog output channels:

• four are fully differential signals (Light Drive, Current Clamp, Aiming
Beam, & Illumination)
• four are AGND referenced signals. All of these are jumper configurable
as either system outputs or Safety Comparator inputs. Three are
currently being used as safety inputs to feed the Overpower, Pulse

Detect, and Inadvertent Exposure signals, the other one is the TEC Drive
signal and is the only one that leaves the board.

4-12 PB-002141-04 REV B
4.4.4 Digital I/O
The Digital I/O board is used for digital communication and control between
external boards and the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) that resides on
the board. There are 24 inputs and 18 outputs from the FPGA.
4.4.4.1 Main Circuit Description
The FPGA is the primary component on the Digital I/O board. The FPGA is
programmable from PROM (U25) upon reset, or power up. When the FPGA has
loaded correctly D30, a red LED, will be illuminated. For a normal load from the
PROM there needs to be a jumper between pins 2 & 3 on JP13. The 24 input
signals are run through receivers (U5, U6, U18, & U19) to translate the +12V
signals to +5V signals that the FPGA can accept. The inputs are broken down
into INPUT 0-16 and FSW 0-6. Refer to the table below:

The 18 output signals run through output drivers (U7-U16) before leaving the
board so that the 3.3V output signal from the FPGA can be changed to +12V.
The outputs break down into OUTPUT 0-10 and SAFETY 0-8. Refer to the table

U20 is a 54 MHz crystal oscillator that is used by the FPGA for independent
pulse and interval timing. This allows the FPGA to provide a safety check that
prevents the laser from firing pulses that are either too long or too short because
of a CPU clock error.
4.4.4.2 Power
HD+12V is not used on the Digital I/O board, however it is sent out to the Optical
Delivery board, the Remote/Footswitch board, and the Accessory Interface
board. The +3.3V is used to power the FPGA and serial PROM. The +2.5V is
used to power the FPGA internal core logic. D+12V is used for both the input and
output drivers. D+5V is use for the I/O drivers and also supplies power to the
PIC.
4.4.5 CPU Board
The Coldfire CPU board is a processor board with Flash memory, SRAM, two
UARTs, two I2C serial ports, and a small EEPROM. An FPGA on the board
buffers control lines, drives a seven Segment display, and generates an audio
output signal.
4.4.5.1 Circuit Description

4-14 PB-002141-04 REV B
The processor is a Motorola Coldfire 5407 RISC processor, and is the largest
part on the board. It runs at 162Mhz internally, derived from an external 54Mhz
clock. The data bus is 32 bits wide, and address lines from A0 to A21 are
connected to external devices.
The 5407 processor has 2 UARTs. These signals get buffered by Maxim
MAX3224 RS232 driver/receivers (U22 and U23). The RS232 connectors on the
board are P6 and P8 and are used for serial communication to a PC for
calibration and communication with the remote unit.
The 5407 processor also has an I2C serial port. A serial EEPROM (U12) is
connected to this port, and is used for scratchpad memory that will retain its
contents when power is removed (intended for most recently used settings for
the laser). An I2C buffer (U10), a MAX3373, drives two I2C connectors, P7 and
P10.
A reset signal to the processor is generated at power-on by U3. Pushing the

momentary switch S1 also generates a reset signal.
JP1, JP2, and JP5 are used for software debug. JP1, a 26-pin header, connects
to a background mode emulator. JP2, a 14-pin header, connects to parallel port
pins on the processor. JP5 connects to processor timers
Flash memory is two 16-bit wide 29LV400B boot block devices, connected so
that code can run at a full 32 bits wide. When J2 pin 12 is left floating, the board
boots from flash. When it is grounded, such as by a CPU Boot Memory card, the
board boots from an off-board flash, using J2-13 as the chip select for that flash.
SRAMs are two 16-bit wide 7C55V400AFT parts, connected in parallel so that
the SRAM function is 32 bits wide.
The FPGA is a Xilinx XC2S30, and loads itself on power up from a XC17S30
serial prom (U19). When the prom is done loading (the FPGA is ‘configured’),
LED D15 turns on. JP7 is a JTAG header that allows loading or testing the FPGA
from a serial cable. JP12, JP13, and JP10 control M0, M1, and M2 respectively,
and by default are jumpered from pins 2 to 3, so that the FPGA loads from the
serial prom on power-up. JP11 pins 1 and 2 are normally left connected. If JP11
pins 2 and 3 are momentarily connected, the FPGA will reload.
DS1 is a 7 segment LED driven by the FPGA, and is used for status monitoring.
JP9 is driven with a pulse width modulated signal that is used to generate an
audio output.

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-15
J1 and J2 are stack connectors with data bus, address bus, and control signals
from the processor. These signals are buffered by either ‘245 buffers (for the
data bus) or ‘244 buffers (for address lines and control signals).
SW1 and SW2 are slide switches that are used to select calibration mode,
upload mode, and configuration defaults. Normal operation is set by having all
the switches ON position.
o Calibration mode is selected with SW2, the 2 position DIP switch. Set both
switches on SW2 to the OFF position (toward the front of the system), turn
the system power off then on, and then set both switches back to the ON
position. The 7 segments LED digit will blink ‘C’ to indicate calibration
mode.
o Upload mode is selected setting switch 1 of SW1 to OFF position (toward
the front of the system), then cycle power off then on. The 7-segment
display will blink ‘L’ to indicate upload mode. To exit upload mode, return
switch 1 of SW1 to the ON position and cycle power.
o To load configuration defaults, set switch 4 of SW1 to the OFF position
(toward the front of the system). Return the switch to the ON position
when done, or the system won’t use uploaded configuration values.
4.4.5.2 Power
All the ICs use 3.3V for power. The 5407 processor also uses one.8V for the
core voltage, and the XC2S30 uses 2.5V for the core voltage. The processor is
damaged if the 1.8V and 3.3V sequencing isn’t correct, and D4 thru D7 keep the
difference between 1.8V and 3.3V from getting too large. JP6 jumpers from pins
1 to 2, so that the processor core gets 1.8V. The I2C buffer also uses 5V to drive
the I2C serial connectors.
4.4.6 Auxiliary Interface Board
The Auxiliary Interface board provides a current limit to the remote control unit,
24VDC for the fans, and an adjustable 6V supply for external LIO illumination
lamp.
If the 5VDC to the remote control from the Digital I/O FPGA is shorted, U1 will
provide 5V for the remote control, to power the remote. This voltage can be
measured between TP1 to TP2.
24VDC is applied to the auxiliary interface board though J22 from the Auxiliary
Power Supply board, and is supplied to the cooling fans, and the KTP Heater via
P78, P79, and P89.

4-16 PB-002141-04 REV B
The illumination circuit has a voltage range (0V to 4.096VDC) supplied via the
Analog I/O, which drives a switching regulator (U2) which can be measured at
TP9 with respect to ground (TP4). The chart below shows the different output of
U2 in respect to the input voltage from the Analog I/O:
Voltage from Analog I\O Voltage at TP9 Voltage across TP5 and
TP6

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-17
4.4.7 Diode Drive Control
The Diode Drive Control serves as an interface between the Digital and Analog
I/O and the Diode Drive Base.
Note: To fully understand the function of the Diode Drive Control the Functional
description for the Diode Drive Base should be read and understood.
Through P17, two digital control signals are fed into the Diode Drive Control from
the Digital I/O, PULSE_EN\ and LAS_EN\. When the laser is placed into ready
LAS_EN\ goes active turning on both ISO2 and LED2. When the laser is fired
LAS_EN\ not also goes active turning on both ISO1 and LED1. When both of
these signals are active the Diode Drive Base is enabled through J21and only
requires an analog control signal to fire.
Through P16 a fully differential control signal is received from the Analog I/ O this
is LIGHT DRIVE- and LIGHT DRIVE+. This signal is fed into U1 which functions
as an input buffer as well as converting the signal to a single ended signal. The
single ended signal is fed into U2, U2 is a high current buffer design to drive a
capacitive load. The output of U2 is fed through J20 down to the Diode Drive
Base to drive the SC pin (the linear control pin) on the Diode Power Supply.
4.4.8 Diode Drive Base
The Diode Drive Base serves as an interconnect between the Diode Drive
Control and the diode power supply. It also has circuitry to disable the diode
power supply until the laser is ready to fire.
Note: To fully understand the function of the Diode Drive Base the Functional
description for the Diode Drive Control should be read and understood.
4.4.8.1 Diode Power Supply
The Diode Power supply is a 48 volt in 2 volt nominal out module. It has two
means of control the Primary Control (PC pin) and the Secondary Control (SC
pin). The primary control pin can be used to disable the module but is by default
enabled. When the module is enabled 6volts can be measured on the PC pin
with respect to –IN. To disable the module the PC pin needs to be pulled low.
The secondary control pin is used to linearly control the output of the module.
With the SC pin the module can be controlled from 10% to 110% of the nominal
voltage. The voltage necessary on the SC pin for the nominal output voltage is

4-18 PB-002141-04 REV B
1.23 volts, the output voltage of the module changes in direct proportion to
voltage change on the SC pin.
Example: SC pin=0.615 volts Module Output= 1 volt. The Peak output voltage
while firing is typically between 1.7 and 1.9 volts therefore the SC control voltage
during normal operation should be between 1.04a and 1.17 volts. Typical output
current is between 15 and 45 amps depending on the Laser power level
selected.
Q1 and Q2 are redundant means of disabling the power supply module (U1) until
the laser is ready to fire. Q1 and Q2 are held active by the voltage drop across
D1 and D2 respectively. This pulls the PC pin to a low state disabling the
module. When the laser is placed into treat an opto- isolator on the Diode Drive
Control is enabled which through pin 2 of P21 pulls the gate of Q1 low and turns
off Q1. When the laser is fired a second opto-isolator on the Diode Drive Control
is enabled which through pin 1 of P21 pulls the gate of Q2 low turning Q2 off.
With both FETs turned off U1 is enabled.
When the laser is firing the SC pin is driven dynamically between 1.04 and 1.17
volts by a signal fed through P19 from a high current buffer on the Diode Drive
Control. Whenever the laser is not firing this pin should be at 0 volts.

4.4.10 Interfaces
4.4.10.1 Head Interface
The Head Interface (DPR-05-009) provides an electrical interface between the

inside and the outside of the laser engine. This PCB is epoxied to the laser
cavity in order to seal the laser cavity. The head interface also provides
mounting and electrical connections for the KTP heater PCB.
Diode Thermistor Interface
P2, P3, and P4 provide the interface for two thermistors that will be mounted to
the laser diode providing a redundant means of verifying and controlling
temperature.

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-21
KTP Heater Interface
P5 provides a header for the KTP heater board to connect to. This header feeds
through to P9, which provides a header for the harness that feeds to the KTP
heater resistor and the KTP thermistor.
TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4 provide test points that allow measurement of the KTP
thermistor as well as the output drive level of the KTP heater board. LED 1
provides a visual indication to the technician that the KTP heater PCB is
functioning.
4.4.10.2 Remote/Footswitch Interface
The remote/footswitch interface provides a connection for communication and

control between the external remote and external footswitch to the Digital I/O,
CPU, and Auxiliary Power Supply boards. All inputs to and outputs from the
interface are filtered with LC filters.
Digital I/O Interface
The footswitch only interfaces with the Digital I/O board. The Digital I/O board
provides HD+12V (high current) and DGND (digital ground) to the footswitch.
There are three types of footswitches that may connect to the Remote/Footswitch
Interface: Basic, PowerEase, and Smart footswitch. All footswitches have the
FS_NC and FS_NO signals in common. The PowerEase footswitch also has the
PWR_UP and PWR_DWN signals and the Smart footswitch has the FOOT_IN
signal. FOOTSW_CODE[1:0] are used to signify the type of footswitch that is
connected to the interface. The table below shows the codes for each type of
footswitch.

The remote communicates with the Digital I/O board by grounding the connection
on the REMOTE_CONNECTED\ signal line when it is plugged in. Once the CPU
receives this signal via the Digital I/O FPGA, it supplies power to the remote by
asserting REMOTE_PWR_ON\ (also via the DIO FPGA). Asserting this signal
turns on the PMOS transistor, Q1, allowing +5V through the drain and powering
the remote.
CPU Interface
The remote communicates with the CPU through an RS-232 serial connection.
Auxiliary Power Supply Interface
The Auxiliary Power Supply provides the +5V that is connected to the source of
Q1.
4.4.10.3 Optical Delivery Interface
The Optical Delivery Interface Provides three functions:
• An isolated connection between the safety shutter and the Digital I/O
• An adjustable aiming beam control circuit to drive an regulate the aiming
beam diode
• A resistor recognition circuit to identify which fiber is attached to the laser
system
Safety Shutter Interface
When OD SHUTTER OPEN\ is active, a low is provided to pin 2 of ISO1. This in

conjunction with D+12V activates ISO1. With ISO1 active the gate of Q2 is high
causing Q2 to sink current from HD+12V through the safety shutter solenoid to
HDRTN opening the safety shutter and lighting LED2.
With the safety shutter open a magnet attached to the blade of the shutter
activates two reed switches, which are wired in series and mounted to the top of
the safety shutter. This pulls OD SHTR SWITCH1\ to a low state and LED4 will
light. When the shutter returns to the closed position another magnet attached to
the blade of the shutter activates two reed switches mounted to the bottom of the
safety shutter, OD SHTR SWITCH2\ will go low, and LED5 will light. OD SHTR
SWITCH1\ and OD SHTR SWITCH2\ are fed back to the Digital I/O to tell the
control module what position the shutter is in.

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-23
Analog Interface
AIMING BEAM CONTROL:
A differential control signal from 0 to 5 volts is sent from the Analog I/O board in
to pins 2 and 3 of U3. U3 produces a single ended control signal that is fed into
pin 3 of U4 and compared to the feedback from U1A. The difference between
these two signals is seen on pin 6 of U4 and drives pin 5 of U1B. The voltage on
pin 5 of U1B determines the current through Q1 and through the laser diode. For
every millivolt seen on pin 5 of U1B one mA of current will conduct through the
aiming laser diode. Feedback to control the output of the aiming laser diode is
provided by a photodiode mounted inside the laser diode package. Current from
this photodiode is sunk through R19 and creates a voltage that drives pin 3 of
U1A. The gain of U1A can be adjusted with R34 so that the feedback to pin 2 of
U4 is the correct voltage for a given amount of light out of the laser diode.
RESISTOR SENSE:
When a fiber is attached to the SMA adapter, the resistor in the fiber is placed in
series with a 200-ohm resistance mounted on the SMA Sensor PCB, which is
mounted inside the SMA receptacle. Through P13 these two resistors are placed
in series with R12, R14, R15, and R16. D1 provides a 10 volt 0.1% tolerance
voltage reference that is buffered through U2A. This places a precise 10-volt
level for the voltage divider on the top of R12. The voltage drop across all these
resistors, accept R12 is placed on the pin 5 of U2B. U2B buffers this voltage and
through P11 the voltage level is sent to the Analog I/O for fiber recognition.

4.4.10.4 Accessory Interface
The accessory interface board provides a control interface for both motor-driven
and solenoid-driven physician’s filters by providing control and communication
between the Digital I/O and the Analog I/O boards and the filters. It also provides
a path from the illumination power supply to external illuminating devices.
There are two separate circuits to drive each type of filter that can be attached to
the accessory interface. One circuit is for a motor-driven filter and the other
circuit is for a solenoid-driven circuit. There is also a resistor sense circuit that
determines which type of filter(s) is attached to the accessory interface. All
inputs from and outputs to external devices are filtered via LC filters.
Solenoid Driver
The circuit that drives the solenoid closed primarily consists of a high side driver,
U2, and an NMOS transistor. The high side driver is controlled by the
SFSOL_EN\ signal. When the signal is asserted, U2 sends +24V to the output.
When the signal is de-asserted, D2 sends out +12V to the output. The signal will
be asserted for 60 ms to drive the solenoid closed with 24V and then de-asserted
to keep the solenoid closed with 12V. SFSOL_DRV\ must be asserted during
both these operations to provide a return. SFSOL_DRV\ turns the NMOS
transistor, Q1, on and off. When the transistor is on, a return is provided to
SFX_RTN. When the transistor is off, an open circuit will be seen at the output,
allowing the spring in the solenoid to open the filter. SFSOL_EN\ and
SFSOL_DRV\ are provided via the Digital I/O interface and are generated by the
Digital I/O FPGA. The table below shows the signal values that control the
solenoid:
SFSOL_EN\ SFSOL_DRV\ SFX_+V SFX_RTN Operation

0 0 +24V GND The filter closes.
0 1 +12V OPEN This scenario should not occur,
however, the filter will open.
1 0 +12V GND The filter is held closed.
1 1 +12V OPEN The filter will open.
*logic levels represent +12V and GND
When the filter(s) is(are) closed, there are reed switches that close because of
the magnet attached to the filter. When the reed switches close they completes
the circuit from the ground pin on J14 to SFX_CLOSED\. Safety Filter 1 uses
ground pin 3 and Safety Filter 2 uses ground pin 5.

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-25
Motor Driver
U3 consists of two inverting drivers controlled by SFMTR_SEL0 and

SFMTR_SEL1 that will provide 12V or GND to the motor filter to drive it open or
closed. The motor is driven for 50 ms in both directions. The table below shows
the input vs. output values that control the motor:

4-26 PB-002141-04 REV B
SFMTR_SEL1 SMTR_SEL0 SFX_+V SFX_RTN
Operation
0 0 +12V +12V The filter is in an open position.
0 1 +12V GND The motor drives the filter open.
1 0 GND +12V The motor drives the filter closed.
1 1 GND GND The filter is in a closed position.
The motor-driven filter uses the same reed switch design as the solenoid-driven
filter to assert SFX_CLOSED\.
Resistor Sense
There is a resistor sense circuit for each filter and each circuit consists of op
amps and several series resistors. One op amp, U5A, provides a voltage
reference for both resistor sense circuits. Op amps 5B and 6A are used as
buffers for the resistor sense voltage. The series resistors are used to provide a
sufficient variance in voltage for the array of resistor values that will be used in
the filters that connect to the accessory interface. When a filter is plugged in, its
resistor value is put in series with the resistor sense circuit and the voltage is
sent to the Analog I/O board so it can determine which type of filter is attached to
the accessory interface. Once the filter type is determined, the Digital I/O FPGA
will assert the SFX_MTR_SOL signals to apply the correct drive voltages to the
filters. If a motor filter is present, SFX_MTR_SOL = 1. If a solenoid filter is
present, SFX_MTR_SOL = 0. The default for the motor/solenoid selection is 1,
but if the Analog I/O board does not sense that a filter is present, the driver
signals will not be asserted. The SFX_MTR_SOL signals control K1 and K2 so
that the right drive signals are applied to the appropriate outputs.
Auxiliary Power Supply Interface
The illumination voltages are fed from the Auxiliary Power Supply through the
accessory interface. It provides a maximum of 6V and 3A.

4.5.1 Optical Description
The Novus Spectra laser module consists of a frequency-doubled, diode-pumped

solid-state laser. The laser resonator contains a pump diode laser, LDA1, an
Nd:YAG rod, a KTP crystal for frequency doubling, two high reflector end mirrors,
M1 and M2, and one folding mirror, or output coupler, OC1. The pump diode
laser, LDA1 serves as the excitation source, emitting nominal 806 nm light to
populate the lasing levels of Nd:YAG. Green light is generated by frequency
doubling of the 1064 nm Nd:YAG emission. The end mirrors, M1 and M2, are
designed to be highly reflective to the fundamental infrared wavelength. M2 is
also reflective to 532 nm. The fold mirror, OC1, is coated to be highly
transmissive to the doubled frequency to serve as an output coupler.
The output of the 532 nm laser is collimated by lens L1 with the majority of the
beam reflecting off combining mirror, M4, to the window, W2. Some green light
transmits through M4 to another window, W1, through filters F1 and F2, to a
single detector with two amp circuits, D1/D2, that provide redundant power-
monitoring signals to insure correct power delivery. The 532 nm treatment beam
is combined with the 635nm aim beam. At the optical delivery assembly (fiber
port), a final objective lens, L2 is used to converge the aim and treatment beams
to produce a focus for fiber transmission to the various delivery devices. Sensors
at the optical delivery assembly (fiber port) detect the presence and type of
attached delivery device.
There are three classes of delivery system that are used with the Novus Spectra:
• The LaserLink slitlamp adapter kit.

• The Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO).
• The Acculite and EndoOto probe systems.
The delivery systems attach to the laser console using an optical fiber. In all
cases, the optical fiber connector contains encoding (resistor value) to identify
the delivery system that is connected to the laser console. The console
automatically adjusts treatment laser power for the known "programmed"
transmission efficiency of the delivery device to maintain the requested delivered
power at the focal plane of the delivery device.
1. LaserLink:
The LaserLink slitlamp adapter kit consists of three assemblies that

adapt a diagnostic slitlamp for use as a laser delivery system. The
components of the kit are: the LaserLink slitlamp attachment, a split
illumination mirror assembly, and a laser filter attachment for the slitlamp
microscope.

4-30 PB-002141-04 REV B
The LaserLink slitlamp attachment consists of an optical fiber to transport
light from the laser console to the slitlamp, and an optical assembly
attached to the slitlamp. The input end of the optical fiber has a custom
plug that attaches to the laser console to receive the laser power and
identify the delivery system. The LaserLink optical assembly combines
the laser beam with the slitlamp so that it is coaxial and par focal to the
slitlamp microscope optics. A zoom lens assembly, in the LaserLink
optics, permits adjustment of the laser beam size over a range of 50 to
1000 microns at the microscope focal plane.
The laser filter attaches to the slitlamp microscope in the optical path
between the main housing and the eyepieces. The filter is constructed
such that, when energized, laser radiation passing through the
microscope optical path is blocked. When de-energized, no light
traveling through the microscope is blocked. The filter assembly is
interlocked so that delivery of the treatment laser beam is only possible
when the filter is energized and in position.
A second, optional, filter assembly is also available provides laser filters

that are permanently fixed in the microscope optical path.
Compatibility with slitlamp microscopes is determined by the eyepiece

interface format, the “tonometer” mount format, and the slit illumination
assembly. Adaptations to some slit lamp microscopes are available.
These include: the Zeiss SL130, the Zeiss 30SL, and the Zeiss 20SL.
2. Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO):
The LIO consists of a diagnostic Indirect Ophthalmoscope with

permanently attached laser delivery optics and laser blocking filters.
The laser delivery optics consist of an optical fiber, a lens, and a mirror.
The input end of the optical fiber has a custom plug that attaches to the
laser console to receive the laser power and identify the delivery system.
The optical fiber transports the laser energy from the console to the LIO
headset. The lens forms an image of the output end of the optical fiber
located in the focal plane of the indirect ophthalmoscope. The mirror
folds the laser beam to combine with the optical path of the indirect
ophthalmoscope, from a position centered between the viewing and
illumination apertures of the system. The mirror is adjustable to allow
precise centering of the laser beam in the field of view of the indirect
ophthalmoscope. The laser spot size at the focal plane of the LIO is
nominally 900 to 1000 micron diameter.
There are two models of the LIO, based on two different brands of
indirect ophthalmoscope: Keeler, and Heine indirect ophthalmoscopes.

PB-002141-04 REV B 4-31
The laser blocking filters for both are attached in the optical path of the
indirect ophthalmoscope between the laser fold mirror, and the users
eyepieces. In the Keeler version, the filters are in the housing just
behind the laser mirror. In the Heine version, the filters are in the
mounted in the eyepieces. Two redundant filters are permanently
installed, in all optical paths, in both versions, so that treatment laser
radiation is always blocked from transmission to the LIO user.
3. Acculite and EndoOto probe systems:
The Acculite and EndoOto probe systems consists of three parts. These
parts are; the Acculite or EndoOto probe (optical fiber with SMA threads,
trunk fiber, and hand piece), a microscope mounted eye safety filter for
the treatment laser, and an optional fiber optic coupler/extender cable.
The endoprobes consists of a probe, fiber and an SMA connector that

screws into the laser console. The input end of the optical fiber has a
custom plug that attaches to the laser console to receive the laser power
and identify the delivery system type by resistor value. At the output
end, the probe consists of a handle for holding the device, and a straight
or angled needle. The needle exits axially from the handle, and is about
30mm long.
The endoprobes can plug directly into the laser console, or into a
coupler/extender cable that plugs into the laser console. The
coupler/extender cable is used to transport laser energy to the
endoprobe while the laser console to be positioned away from the
surgical field. The system recognizes the presence of the
coupler/extender cable and adjusts for the known efficiency of this
option, when used. A laser aperture label is attached to the output end
of the coupler/extender cable.
As with the LaserLink, the eye safety filter attaches to an operating room
microscope in the optical path between the main housing and the
eyepieces. The filter is constructed such that, when energized, laser
radiation passing through the microscope viewing optical path is blocked.
When de-energized, no light traveling through the microscope viewing
optical path is blocked. The filter assembly is interlocked so that delivery
of the treatment laser beam is only possible when the filter is energized
and in position.
Compatibility with operating room microscopes is determined by the

eyepiece interface format. Adaptations to a number of operating room
microscopes are available. These include: the Zeiss OPMI-6 interface,
the Wild (Leica) interface, and the Leica M840 series of microscopes.

4.6 Software (User and Service Mode Software)
4.6.1 Overview
The Novus Spectra system EPLD includes both User and Service mode software
routines. User software is always enabled at system power-on; Service mode is
available any time from User mode. For complete instructions on User mode
operation, consult the Novus Spectra Operator Manual.
At system turn on, the system performs specific self-test routines, loads the last
User mode configuration, and waits in the Standby (idle) state in User mode.
Typically, the user will configure the system (change treatment parameters) to
perform a certain treatment, place the laser in the Ready state, and fire the laser.
During the treatment, laser performance and safety circuits are monitored. Any
malfunction halts the treatment, and the system reports detected fault conditions.
Some fault conditions are clearable by the user, while others are permanent and
may require service. If the system remains in Ready state for more than 5
minutes without user interaction, the laser will automatically return to Standby
state.

Typical User Mode Display
The service technician typically uses Service mode software during system
installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The system can be put into
calibration mode (service mode) by moving both switches on SW2 on the CPU
board to the forward position (toward the front of the laser), cycling power to the
system, then returning both switches on SW2 to the rear position. The 7-
segment display on the CPU will blink “C” to indicate calibration mode.

4-34 PB-002141-04 REV B
4.6.2 Safety Monitoring

5.0 Troubleshooting
5.1 Overview
The Novus Spectra laser is designed to require little adjustment or calibration,
and to detect and report malfunctions by error or fault code or message as
displayed on the front panel LED display. System failures are generally repaired
by replacing a high level assembly, often described as a FRU (Field Replaceable
Unit). A FRU is built specifically to support a field repair, and consists of a part or
group of parts determined to be suitable for field replacement. When a part fails
that is a part of a FRU, the FRU is replaced, not the individual part.
Corrective or preventive maintenance must be performed by a service engineer

or technician who has completed the Lumenis certification service training for the
Novus Spectra laser system.
Field calibration and adjustment is covered in detail in Section 3. Special

purpose tools are required to repair and maintain the Novus Spectra laser
operation at factory specifications. The tools are listed in Section 6.
The entire optical path is sealed inside the laser head. Removing the head cover
exposes the interior contents to foreign matter (i.e. dust, humidity, contaminants,
etc.), and therefore removal of the head cover voids any warranty for the entire
laser head assembly. In general, do not remove the laser head cover. If it is
absolutely necessary to remove the cover, minimize exposure by removing the
head cover only in an environmentally controlled clean-room. Use a clean plastic
sheet to cover the head while the head cover is off, and replace the head cover
as soon as the repair inside the head is complete.
After power up, and before the Novus Spectra moves to its standby condition, the
software performs a series of self-tests. Self-test failures result in fault codes
displayed on the LED display. These error or fault codes provide an indication of
what malfunction was detected, which should point to a specific area of the
system for further investigation. Explanations of the fault codes are included in
this section. Most hardware malfunctions will be detected at this time.
During normal operation the software continues to monitor for system

malfunctions, and to report any detected malfunctions by fault code on the LED
display.

5.3 Error Codes and Fault Isolation
The safety circuits monitor system functions to detect and report various error or
fault conditions within the system and connected accessories. When an error is
detected, the microprocessor is halted, places the system into the Standby state,
and displays the error condition with a numeric error code on the LED display
panel.
Error conditions can be: warning (clearable), fatal (permanent), and service
(diagnostic):
• Warning (clearable) errors notify the user of an abnormal condition that

prevents the system from normal operation. The system cannot be placed in
the Ready state (or if in the Ready state will drop to the Standby state) if such
condition exists. The user is notified of such an error by a displayed code, in
format Exxx, and a sound.
• Fatal (permanent) errors place the system in a safe, non-firing condition that
prevent normal operation until the fault condition is resolved (normally by
service intervention, part replacement or repair, etc.). The user is notified of
such an error by a displayed code, in format Fxxx (or CA01), and a sound.
• Service (diagnostic) errors place the system in a safe, non-firing condition that
cannot be cleared without restarting the system. Restarting the system will
clear the error, but if the fault condition is still present, the error will occur
again. The user is notified of such an error by a displayed digit (one, 7-
segment LED) and a sound.

Novus Specta TN 001 Rev. A Page 1 of 6

2400 Condensa St.
Tel: 408.764.3000
The system will give an error code F602 if the ESF has a problem during the
duration of the pulse. If a problem happens with the ESF during the interval of the
pulse the system will produce an F905 error. If the ESF doesn’t close when it should
the system will produce an F402.
This is done according to the priority of the error codes.
NOTE: Previous versions of software will give an E401 if you plug in a motor driven
ESF.
4 Aiming Beam:
A Default level set to 30% (previous was 0%)
5 Temperature Time In During Startup

Older versions of software would continue to try to load if the interlock failed during
time in. Now if the interlock fails during time in the system will generate an F803
error.

Novus Spectra Upgrade for Analog I/O Signature:
Board (DPR-03-008)
Purpose
The purpose of this Novus Spectra laser system technical note is to notify the field of
an upgrade to DPR-03-008.
Background
A 200-microsecond delay has been causing self-test errors on Analog I/O (DPR-03-
008). Four filters and their components need to be removed from the Analog I/O
Board, which has been modified from Rev. A to Rev. B.
C77, C78, C79, C80, C81, C82, C83, C84, R71, R72, R73, R74, R75, R76, R77, R78
are all part of four filters that where placed on the outputs of four of the D to A
converter channels. These filters where designed to smooth the steps in the output of
the DAC but also slow down the rise and fall time of the DAC.
Given the resolution of the DAC and the application for the four DAC channels the
filters are unnecessary for smoothing and hinder the light control system because of
the slower response times of the DAC channels.
Procedure
Remove C77, C78, C79, C80, C81, C82, C83, and C84 from board. Replace
R71, R72, R73, R74, R75, R76, R77, R78 with 0 ohm resistor (R0.0P1TH). All
new boards will have this change done by the vender, board should be
upgraded or replace during next service.

Add Loctite to the Shutter Blade Signature:
Adjustment Screw
Purpose
The purpose of this Novus Spectra laser system technical note is to inform Field
Service Engineering and the Depot Center to add loctite to the shutter blade
adjustment screw of the Mechanical Shutter Assembly (SAS417000). This assembly
is used on both the Spectra and the Elite SMA.
Background
Revision A1 of Assembly SAS417000 (Mech. Assy, Shutter/Aiming Block
Open/Close) used on systems built before May 13, 2003, were built without loctite on
the shutter blade adjustment screw.
Vibration of the system, weather from shipping or normal use may cause the screw to
move. If the screw moves in too far, it may cause the system to give an error F100,
indicating that the safety shutter is not present.
Procedure
All revision A2 assemblies should have loctite on the screw. When an A1 revision is
found to be in a system:
1. Remove the screw.

2. Apply loctite (1605-0013) to the screw.
3. Reinsert the screw into the Shutter block most of the way through the hole (see
the figure).
1 TN 005 REV A
Page 2 of 2
4. Turn system on.
5. After some time in, the system should show F100. Back the adjustment screw out
half a turn and reset the system.
6. Repeat Step 5 until the F100 does not come up in the power treatment window.

Change to Rev D. of the Digital I/O Signature:
FPGA
Purpose
Service Engineering and the Depot Center of a change to the Digital I/O FPGA to
reduce the likelihood of an F402 error when using the smart footswitch.
Background
It was observed that if the beam path for the smart footswitch is made and broken
very quickly, the system will give an F402 error. This is not a safety issue but is an
annoyance to the user.
Procedure
If the system is being used with a smart footswitch and is giving an F402 error,
replace the Digital I/O FPGA (SWS419000) from Rev C. to Rev D. Check the
operation of the smart footswitch to determine that no error occurs. Check output
parameters and calibrate as needed.

Change to Front Panel Ground Signature:
Harness
Purpose
Service Engineering and the Depot Center of a change to the ground harness for the
front panel of the Novus Spectra to eliminate problems with the front panel freezing
up.
Background
Ground bounce was observed on the Front Panel (DPR-03-016). This is caused by
the fact that the harness supplying the ground to the front panel is of insufficient
gauge. Harness (HSS161000) has been revised to a 22 AWG wire rather than the 26
AWG wire that was originally specified.

Analog I/O Lasing Threshold Signature:
Purpose
To inform the field and depot technicians of an upgrade to the Analog I/O board
(DPR-03-008) from Revision B to Revision C.
Background
Laser diode improvements have resulted in a lower lasing current threshold for the
laser head, and this necessitates a change in the lasing reference voltage for pulse
detection and inadvertent exposure circuits on the Analog I/O board.
R4 and R43 have been added to the Analog I/O (DPR-03-008) in order to divide the
current reference for the pulse detect and inadvertent exposure comparators in half.
Procedure
If receiving timing errors (600 series) when set for powers below 100mW, installing a
Revision C Analog I/O board may rectify the problem if it is due to lower lasing
currents.
The Revision C Analog I/O board may be used with previous systems with no known
problems.

Spectra Shutter Blade Upgrade Signature:
Purpose
The purpose of this technical note is to inform the Depot, Field Service, and
Distributors of a retrofit that needs to be checked upon next service and upgraded if
needed to increase reliability of shutter assembly.
Background
The magnets on the shutter blade may have not been placed on the shutter blade in an
orientation repelling each other. This could cause the magnetic field to not be as
strong as it could be. Also the screws that mount the solenoid to the shutter block
were of poor quality from current manufacturer and have been changed.
Procedure
1 Remove the shutter block from the head, without removing the optical
delivery.
2 Test the polarity on a shutter blade by applying one end of an un-mounted

bar magnet (K-234) individually to each of the mounted magnets on the tip
end of the shutter, as shown in figure 1. Like polarities repel and opposite
polarities attract, therefore, the un-mounted magnet should be either
repelled or attracted by both of the mounted magnets when tested on the
same end of the shutter. A failure would be if one mounted magnet attracts
and the other mounted magnet repels the un-mounted test magnet.
Figure 1: Testing the Shutter Blade Magnets

2400 Condensa St.
Tel: 408.764.3000
Note: All shutter assemblies that fail must have the shutter replaced with one
that has the proper oriented magnets.
Refer to Figure 2 for the following steps.
3 If the shutter blade fails the test in step 2, remove the shutter blade by
removing the 2 screws on the side of the block that hold the solenoid in and
throw them away.
4 Remove the 2 C-clips that hold the shutter blade to the solenoid. The pin that
goes through the shaft of the solenoid by be loose be careful to not drop it.

Dual Port Spectra
Purpose
This tech note is to inform the Service Department of the new Dual Port
Spectra mechanical and electronics assemblies. These changes will only be
on the new Dual Port Spectra systems. The following procedure is to explain
how to align the dual port delivery system.
Background
The Dual Port Spectra is a new design that offers the ability to attach two
separate delivery systems to the one Spectra laser system which allows the
operator to switch from one port to port two with a press of a button (Port 1 &
Port 2). The changes made to the system will also improve the ability and time
to align the treatment beam and the aiming beam, and increase the longevity
of the assemblies involved.
Procedure
The Dual Port Spectra uses many assemblies that are already in use on
current systems such as the Varia and Omni as a reference for further
alignment.
1.1. Fiber Ports alignment:

1.1.1. Check the fiber ports and confirm that
they are flush with the front of the
mounts. To adjust loosen the clamp
screw on the fiber focus mount which will
allow the fiber connector to slide in and
out to where it is flush

1.1.3. Adjust X and Y to get one solid spot.

Lock down X and Y adjustments.
1.1.4. Adjust Z to make the spot as small as Z: FIND
SMALLEST
possible. Lock down the Z adjuster. MAIN SPOT
(Don’t adjust Z when it is locked.)
1.1.5. Repeat X and Y adjustments if needed.
X&Y: BRING
1.1.6. Install the customers laser link, Endo, or TOGETHER
INTO ONE
LIO fiber and fine-tune X and Y for SPOT
maximum efficiency (must be >82%).
1.1.7. Repeat for port 2.

1.2. Fine alignment of aiming laser:
1.2.1. Fire through port 2 using the GRIN lens.
Set a target on the center of the green
beam.
1.2.2. Confirm the aiming beam centered onto
the target and adjust the aiming beam
mount as needed.
1.2.3. Fire through port 1 without the GRIN

lens. Set a target on the center of the
green beam.
1.2.4. Loosen the bolts on the aiming laser

mount slightly and translate until the red
beam is centered on the target.
1.2.5. Repeat until the aiming beam is aligned

in both Port 1 and Port 2.
Perform alignment and the efficiency check list to confirm outputs from
port one and port two with respect to beam requirements reference
section 3 of the service manual (3.3 and 3.5).

Aux Interface Adaptor Board and Harness Jeff Voyles
Purpose
This technical note is to inform and instruct the service department on the changes
made to the Auxiliary Interface Adaptor Board, the KTP Heater Board, and the
adaptor board/ KTP board Harness.
Background
Due to the obsolescence of the style of connector on the Auxiliary Interface Adaptor
Board, the KTP Heater Board and the Interface KTP Harness, when any of these
boards are replaced an upgrade kit will have to be installed.
Material
Auxiliary Interface Board EAS129000 becomes EA-1039960
Harness assy. Aux interface – KTP heater HSS140000 becomes HS-1036710
Procedure
In the case that any of these boards need to be replaced or if a replacement head
has the KTP Heater board with the new connector then the kit (KT-1040470) should
be ordered so that all of the boards will be compatible. The (KT-1040470) will have
the new Auxiliary Interface Adaptor Board (EA-1039960) and the Harness Assy. Aux
Interface-KTP Heater (HS-1036710).
The Auxiliary Interface Adaptor Board EA-1039960 is shown in figure 1

Once the old board is removed then the new EA-1039960 board can be put in place
while making sure that it is connected to the Aux power supply correctly.
Then the four screws can be reinstalled and the three cables can be reconnected to
P75, P76, and P77 and the new cable HS-1036710 connected to P78.
And connect the HS-1036710 cable to the KTP Heater board on the head
Reconnect the control stack to the Aux Interface Board and reinstall screws. Turn on
system and test operations.
