Be really darn careful running those without full spectrum goggles (1064, 808, 532) with the lid off. Lots of HOT stray IR.
Really no place to stick a power meter between the special fiber optic array that evens out the pump 808 and the vandate.
Wait a while before opening the hood. Bad idea without knowing what your going into.
They are not so tolerant of being opened. You own a clean room or a laminar flow hood? (I'm not kidding!)
They have a HEPA vent filter on the head and in some cases a dessicant for a reason!
Just your luck I'm out of town setting in a lab with a dead one. I might get a pic tonight of the innards.
Actually call Sam G. who runs the FAQ or Talk to Fred at One Stop (rebuilds them) before cracking the hood. Also make sure the PSU serial matches the head or it wont work.
You may need ACTUAL RS232 handshacking. Founder of the company/chief designer passed away last year.
