EMCenter has its own safety interlock system which is connected in series with the interlock system of every installed card Additionally the following safety measures are implemented 18 The EMCenter is equipped with a remote interlock system For example this interlock system would prevent inadvertent laser radiation by preventing someone from entering a shielded room and stepping on a fiber To prevent accidental activation of the laser an Acknowledge button will appear directly after the Laser Start button is pressed The laser will start only if this button is pressed within a four second timeframe A visual Laser On indicator warns the operator of laser activity The Laser On LED on the front panel of EMCenter indicates that at least one laser is active 5 0 EMCenter Controls and Connectors Never disconnect the fiber optic cables when CAUTION one of the lasers is active gt See Manual Control of the EMCenter on page 25 for information on using the touchscreen controls Front Panel AETS LINDGREN EMCenter VETS LINDGREN EMCenter STATUS INDICATORS There are four status indicators on the front panel of the EMCenter Modular RF Platform e Interlock llluminates if the external interlock is open or if one of the plug in card interlocks encounters an interlock error D Laser On llluminates if at least one of the lasers in one of the cards is active e Standby llluminates when the
