Verdi V-Family Service Course

The Verdi Service course prepares students to install, operate, troubleshoot to the board level, repair, and maintain the Verdi family of lasers. Course content ranges from theory of operation to electronic troubleshooting. Extensive hands-on laboratory time allows students to test their knowledge and develop skills to ensure that they are capable of supporting the product in the field. Upon successfully completing the course, students should be able to train others to control and operate the laser.

Topics: Laser, electrical, and lab safety; thermal management; power supply layout; circuit familiarization; head design; FAP diagnosis, replacement, and calibration; performing electrical measurements and calibrations; trouble- shooting procedures; head-power supply swaps; RS-232 operation; fiber optic inspection; photocell calibrations; current calibrations; PCBA replacement; Servo-Loop analysis; software upgrades.

Prerequisites: Complete product knowledge requires a full understanding of different electronic devices and their role in the circuit. Students should be able to read schematics and block diagrams and relate them to the actual assembly of the printed circuit boards and any other applied circuitry. An understanding of basic laser theory is recommended.
