Furman power conditioner

[Jeff, Daniel, Sander]

The Furman CN-2400S power conditioner has been placed under the laser amplifier on the electronics rack and is powered by a blue NEMA L5-20 socket above the optical table.

The delay setting is set to one minute between each stage (the 2 minute switch is "on" and the pot is set to 50%), we plan to put the seeder on delay 1 and the amplifier on delay 2. Delay 1 turns on immediately after turning the key. Delay 2 switches on one minute after, and delay 3 an additional minute after that, we confirmed the timing with iPad chargers. To change the delay settings one must unscrew the plastic cover on the front center and use the switches/potentiometer (see manual).

The power cable runs alongside the patch panel cables before routing under the table.

I wouldn't make the delay quite that long. In an emergency when you want it powered off, it should only take ~15 seconds or so.

We will shorten it to this time period

We verified the lasers were unpowered, unplugged the lasers from the Furman Power Conditioner, and connected iPad chargers and iPads to Delay 1 and Delay 3. By flipping the 1 minute switch up ("on") and the 2 minute switch down ("off") and turning the potentiometer from the 12 o'clock position to the 9 o'clock position (90° counterclockwise). When the key was turned from off to on, there was a delay of 15 seconds between power being delivered to Delay 1 and Delay 3. See attached photo.

When we turned the key from on to off, power was cut to Delay 3 within 1 second and was cut to Delay 1 in 15 seconds.

We replaced the cover on the Furman Power Conditioner, plugged the seeder power back into Delay 1, and plugged the Amplifier power into Delay 3.
