LaserPhysics Reliant 300WC help

Can't believe you've had this siting for a long time. I'd have been all over it the first day i got it. Good luck to you, Gus. I hope it works perfectly for you.

are you sure thats a WC300? it looks more likely to be the WC1000.
if it is the wc1000, i'm not 100% the pinout would be the same but you could try. i'll see if i can get some time tonight to check mine.

I got a stupid good deal on it, $200 on ebay. Figured it would arrive dead, but the tube is gas intact, so hopefully she'll light up. Been super busy at work and buying a house so haven't had much time to tinker with it.

The last couple days I've been playing with my HeCd lasers and I got the itch to get this thing fired up now!

Not sure which one it is to be honest... All the stickers were removed except the one I took a picture of. It DOES say 1W max, the head itself is about 2.5ft long. I know it is 240V single phase but that's about it.

i just checked mine, it says 1 w as well, however, your laser has 2 extra fuses that mine lacks.
tough to know...
what amperage are the 4 fuses in yours?

Two of them are 1A (I assume for logic control stuff) and the other two are 20A

mine are 20 A as well but no 1 A fuses anywhere, ext or int.
i'll try to do a pinout tonight but if not, i'll get to it as soon as i can. RL is on my ass these days, barely get time for a maint burn! (speaking of which, really need to do that too!)

Any new info? Dont even necessarily need a full pinout, just need to know how to defeat the interlocks to get it powered up and lasing.

Hey Gus, sorry... i totally forgot. been very busy here since the weather improved.

checked today, just jumper pins 1 and 2 together.

Doesn't work for mine, since for some reason I dont have a physical key! However... I did get this info:

Pin 1: Remote interlock A
Pin 2: Remote interlock B
Pin 3: Tube Current Monitor
Pin 4: Safe GND
Pin 5: Tube Voltage Monitor
Pin 6: Safe GND
Pin 7: Force Idle -
Pin 8: Force Idle +
Pin 9: Remote Start -
Pin 10: Remote Start +
Pin 11: Output Power Monitor
Pin 12: Wavelength Select (150M model only)
Pin 13: Control Pot Wiper
Pin 14: Power Control Input
Pin 15: Safe GND

I believe with this info, I can jump 1 & 2 together and apply voltage to pins 9 and 10 (5VDC - 12VDC)

That SHOULD get the laser working. I am slightly worried that I did observe any of the LED's on the board light up, however I found an internal fuse that was blown right at the end of my testing. Didn't have a chance to change it yet.

Good news though:



It is indeed a 300WC

did you ever get your 300WC fixed?
