Applying a DC voltage between 0-1V at pin 4, the laser intensity is controlled.

Analog
0V means the laser power is < 10% of the nominal power.
1V and above means the laser will achieve 100% of the nominal laser power.
Modulation
Analog intensity control (up to 32 steps) and digital TTL Trigger up to 1 kHz
ZM18S3: TTL up to 500 kHz
General rule
Note that there is a linear characteristic between the two voltages! Both control inputs are tolerant to DC voltages up to 25V, therefore, by applying 24V to the laser, it can easily be switched
on to 100% by bridging pins 1, 2 and 4. There is no need for an extra supply of 1V. You cannot destroy the laser in a 24 Volt system by wrong connections of input pins.
* Attention: Laser type ZM18DM53 with 4-wired cable must be supplied only with 4-6VDC (applies also for old ZM18DM5)!
CE-Conformity according to the directives 2004/108/EC and 73/23/ECC excluding connection type.

EN: Brief description of ZM18
1.
Warning label is enclosed (or attached in advance) and should be well visible. Please pay atten-
tion to the laser classes! (EN 60825-1) Laser class 3R, 3B and 4 are intended for integration into
complex systems and are not approved for stand-alone operation. They require a laser protection
offi cer who will decide on the necessary legal measures of training, hazard control and use.
2.
By rotating the focus ring, the laser projection can be focused (from 100mm up to ∞).
3.
M18 thread with two nuts for a simple installation in a mounting or a mounting angle.
4.
• LED light = Laser on
• LED blinking orange/green (only ZM18-S/H) = internal temperature of 65°C is reached. At 85°C,
the laser turns off, but the LED still blinks. –
turns on automatically!
5.
M12 connector to provide fi xed and secure connection to power supply,
cable or customized solution (also see confi guration scheme with ZM18-S/H).
Version with fl ying leads connection is also available (ZM12DM5).
6.
Fit industrial plug to laser, screw softly by hand (without tool).
About 2mm of the screw thread must be visible, do not fi x it any further!
Installation into a mount
– On the side example with a H6-M18
(alternative angle mounting)
1.
Spin nut 1 on to the M18 laser
thread.
2.
Screw the laser into the mount until
you reach nut 1 (alternative: put into
mounting angle).
3.
Spin nut 2 from behind and fi x softly
both nuts with a M18 device.
Installation into a mount with
Please do not fi x the mount on to the front of the laser body as pressure can cause damage to the
optics. Please fi x the mount behind the focusing adjustment.
Troubleshooting:
• No laser light. Is the plug and/or power supply connected, supply voltage available?
• No laser light. Is the cable damaged / broken or is the power supply/power socket defective?
• No laser light. Are the pins connected correctly?
• Diffuse projection: (if focusable) readjust focus ring.
• Diffuse projection: If the optic appears "dirty" - carefully, clean with a cotton bud and spirit.
If the above troubleshoots do not solve your problems, it is possible that there is a fault with the electro-
nics or laser diode. If the laser diode is faulty, as per split or weak beam, please return the laser to our
headquarters.
[ZM18DM5: up to 100 kHz @ black cable]
Please note that the switching threshold can vary slightly.
Applying a DC voltage between 0-1V @ ZM18H / 0-2V @ ZM18H3 at pin 4, the laser intensity is
controlled.
0V means the laser power is < 10% of the nominal power.
1V @ ZM18H / 2V @ ZM18H3 and above means the laser will achieve 100% of the nominal laser
power.
