Relay Operation
-
The laser is OFF by default when connected to an Observatory Rayfin.
-
When the Observatory Rayfin is powered ON and its internal relay is toggled via software, 15-32.5 VDC is applied to pin 2, the output is ON.
The Observatory MantaRay is not designed for standalone use.
Setup Steps (Rayfin Aux Port)
-
Plug MCIL5 y-splice cable into the MantaRay modules.
-
Plug the MCIL5M end of the y-splice into the Rayfin aux port.
-
In the expansion panel of the Rayfin Control Software (RCS), control the laser with the On/Off controls of Aux Port 3
