To install the omtech YL H Series H4 100W CO2 Laser Tube, follow these steps:

1. Prepare your engraver by disconnecting it from power, draining its cooling water system, and waiting 30 minutes to allow any charge stored in its internal power supplies to drain completely. Open any side panels, remove any extension boxes, open the laser tube brackets, and disconnect the tubing and wiring. Remove the old tube.

2. Gently raise and shake your new tube to check for any damage during shipment. Contact customer service if anything sounds or looks amiss.

3. Place your laser tube so that the correct side is facing up (the laser does NOT need to be perfectly centered) and the emission lens is ½–¾ inches (1.3–1.9 cm) from your engraver’s first mirror.

4. Retighten the brackets to hold the tube snuggly but without excessive pressure.

5. Reconnect the water pipes and wiring. The high-voltage electrical connections are EXTREMELY dangerous. Use of a trained electrician is highly recommended.

6. Solder each pair of wires together, black to black and red to red. Fill the provided ceramic cap with slow-drying liquid silicone and press the red wires’ connection completely into the cap. Wrap the cap and black wire connection in electrical tape. DO NOT leave any wiring exposed and DO NOT place the red wire connection near the metal frame of your engraver, where arcing might occur.

7. Wait six (6) hours for the silicone to firmly set before reconnecting your engraver to electricity, restarting the water cooling system, closing the side panels, reattaching any extension box, testing the laser, and realigning the mirror system.
