The J5V Gas Refill Cart Service course prepares students to operate and maintain the laser gas cart laser. Course content ranges from theory of operation to practical use. Upon successfully completing the course, students should be able to train others to control and operate the Gas Cart.

Topics: Laser, electrical, and lab safety; gas cart power supply layout; laser head overview; vacuum system considerations and leak prevention; connecting correctly to the laser; gas bottle precautions and care; measuring laser pulse fall time accurately using a fast detector and oscilloscope; filling lasers to the correct vacuum levels; precautions to avoid gas waste; purging laser with Nitrogen; returning laser to full operation; leak checking and verification.

Prerequisites: Complete product knowledge requires a full understanding of various electronic and vacuum devices and their role in the gas cart. Students should be able to read schematics and block diagrams, as well as relate them to the actual assembly of vacuum systems and any other applied circuitry. An understanding of basic laser theory is also recommended.
