Perfecta Vbeam (VB2)
Remove the old dye cartridge and connect the dye fittings together with your bypass tubing (you must have this tubing and it should be made of PFA or FEP). Disconnect the old COT bottle and run the COT pump until all the old COT from the lines and pump bellows is expelled (older versions of COT may not be compatible with this kit). Install the new COT bottle and run the
COT pump to prime the bellows and the line to the reservoir. With the dye pump running, open the dye stopcock and drain out
as much of the dye fluid as possible. Toggle off the dye pump. Remove the dye reservoir bottle and empty the contents into the waste bucket. Fill the reservoir with the Solvent Flush Solution. Turn the laser on again (or toggle the dye pump on) and let this fluid circulate for a few minutes and then drain through the dye stopcock. Let the pump run until it stops. You may need to turn the laser on and off several times to expel additional fluid. The less Flush Solution left behind, the better. Stop the dye pump and empty the dye reservoir. Fill the dye reservoir with the Pre-Coated Ultra Reservoir Solution. You must add all this
Solution to the reservoir. Turn the laser on (do not install the dye cartridge yet) and let it run until all the bubbles are gone and the laser has reached ~59 C. Toggle off the dye pump, drain the residual bypass tubing fluid into the laser and install the new cartridge. Make sure the serial number of the cartridge matches the serial number on the Pre-Coated Ultra Reservoir Solution bottle. Restart the dye pump to circulate the dye through the cartridge. You will need to toggle the dye pump on and off in order to remove the bubbles. The only way to be sure about bubbles is by observing the dye output at the laser head. You should allow the laser to run for 15 minutes and reach ~59C before you continue.
AT THIS TIME, YOU MUST UNPLUG THE COT PUMP TO PREVENT THE LASER FROM PERFORMING THE AUTOMATIC COATING PROCEDURE SINCE WE ALREADY PERFORMED THE “COTTING” FOR YOU.
You should now perform energy calibration followed by wavelength calibration. You must follow and complete the enclosed work sheet for the warranty to be honored. Recommended energy and pulse width settings for calibration are noted on the worksheet. Store a copy with the laser and take a copy for your records.
AFTER ENERGY AND WAVELENGTH CALIBRATIONS, YOU SHOULD PERFORM A USER CALIBRATION TO ALLOW THE MOTHERBOARD TO ‘MARK’ THE NEW DYE CARTRIDGE CHIP AS ‘COTTED’. Once the dye cartridge chip is marked as coated, you may reconnect the COT pump.
During subsequent user calibrations, the motherboard should not initiate a ‘start up’ COATING procedure.Â
Occasionally, a small ~7 second COT injection may occur to bring the wavelength into range during subsequent user calibrations.Â

You can begin the usual ‘Coating’ procedure. Follow the energy settings and COT injections suggested by the ‘Coating’ paperwork included with the kit. Failure to record this information will void the warranty. Inject no more COT than 20 seconds at a time with 3 minutes between injections. Most kits require about 60 to 70 seconds of COT. UNPLUG THE CoT PUMP AFTER COTTING AND BEFORE ANY USER CALIBRATION – VERY IMPORTANT. Perform the energy and wavelength calibrations after you finish ‘Coating’ and before you perform a user calibration.
AFTER ENERGY AND WAVELENGTH CALIBRATIONS, YOU SHOULD PERFORM A USER CALIBRATION TO ALLOW THE MOTHERBOARD TO ‘MARK’ THE NEW DYE CARTRIDGE AS ‘COTTED’. Once the dye cartridge chip is marked as cotted, you
may reconnect the COT pump. During subsequent user calibrations, the motherboard should not initiate a startup ‘Cotting’ procedure. Occasionally, a small ~7 second COT injection may occur to bring the wavelength into range during subsequent user calibrations.
