This is X-Laser's remote e-stop that is used for disabling Mercury equipped lasers via a shutoff button, with an integrated key switch and reset button. It's a simple solution for safety and compliance. X-Laser's E-stop is configured for EtherCON RJ45 connectivity.
The EtherStop System is designed to simplify the setup and use of laser equipment by combining compliance signaling and network control signaling into a single inexpensive and common network cable. Most X-Laser professional laser equipment (Black Label and Red Label products) include EtherStop interfaces that support daisy-chaining EtherStop cabling from one projector to the next, allowing rapid and scalable show setups that perform reliably and comply with applicable regulatory requirements in most jurisdictions. Additional accessories like EtherStop distribution equipment provide additional flexibility and scalability.
X-Laser EtherStop Pendant Remote E-Stop for Mercury Lasers Features:
- Compliance signals: Remote stop, Laser emission indicator, System reset.
- Network signals: Art-Net, Streaming ACN (sACN.)
- EtherStop cable lengths are limited to ensure signal reliability: Compliance: 300m/984ft / Ethernet: 100m/328ft.
- EtherStop signals travel through Cat5 cable but not through standard Ethernet switches and routers.
- Never connect EtherStop devices to standard Ethernet devices except as specifically allowed in the manual.
- Most of X-Laser's Professional Laser Systems have at least one EtherStop port (a Neutrik EtherCON connector with a green coding ring).
- These remote pendants provide an Emergency Stop switch, emission indicator, and reset and key switches close to the point of operation.
- Up to 100m or 330' from the laser in most cases.
- EtherStop terminators are used in pendants and sometimes lasers to close the remote interlock loop.
- EtherStop signals can travel over standard Cat5 cabling and infrastructure, but NOT through standard Ethernet Switches and Routers.
- Direct Connect not supported.

Compliance Signals
To comply with applicable regulatory standards in most jurisdictions, high power laser equipment must require specific control signals to enable laser output. These usually include a Remote Interlock signal and a Reset signal. The Remote Interlock signal is used to remotely disable laser output independently of a primary control system in case of a system failure or another condition that would make laser output unsafe. The Remote Interlock signal is fail-safe, meaning that laser output is disabled when an external signal is not present. The loss of the Remote Interlock signal will immediately disable laser output regardless of any other control signals. The Reset signal is used to re-enable laser output after loss of power or after the Remote Interlock signal has been lost. After power has been restored and/or the Remote Interlock signal has been restored, laser output will not be enabled immediately. Momentarily activating the Reset signal after power and the Remote Interlock signal are restored will re-enable laser output after an emission delay period. The EtherStop system also provides an Emission signal from the laser equipment back to the control location. The Emission signal provides immediate feedback on the state of the connected laser system(s) without needing any additional diagnostic equipment. Most X-Laser professional laser systems indicate their operational status via the emission indicator as shown below. Refer to specific product documentation for exceptions to this behavior or additional operational information
| Behavior | State |
|---|---|
| Off | Emission requirements are not met (no power, keyswitch not turned, or Remote Interlock signal not present) |
| Flashing once per 3 seconds | Emission requirements are met, and laser is ready to receive a Reset signal |
| Flashing once per second | Laser has received a Reset signal and is in the emission delay period. Laser output will be enabled after the emission delay period. |
| Solid On | Laser is ready to emit or is emitting. Operational control signals may cause laser output at any time. |
Note: where multiple laser systems are connected to one Pendant, the Emission indicator on the Pendant will be solid on when ANY of the connected lasers are capable of emitting.
Regulatory Information
All Class 3B and Class 4 laser systems must provide a Remote Interlock connector to comply with international regulations per IEC 60825-1, 6.4 and United States regulations per 21 C.F.R. §1040.10(f)(3). All Class 4 laser equipment must require a manual reset before enabling laser output for compliance with international regulations per IEC 60825-1, 6.5 and United States regulations per 21 C.F.R. §1040.10(f)(10). Although only Class 4 laser systems are subject to this regulatory requirement, most Class 3B laser systems in XLaser's professional laser families also require this reset step for consistency across models and improved user and audience safety. All Class 3B and Class 4 laser systems are required to have a visible emission indicator for compliance with international regulations per IEC 60825-1, 6.7 and United States regulations per 21 C.F.R. §1040.10(f)(5). In most cases the emission indicator integrated into the laser system itself is sufficient to meet these requirements, but the remote Emission signal provided by the EtherStop system may help meet more specific emission indicator requirements for some situations. Some jurisdictions or institutions may have additional laser safety or compliance requirements. Contact X-Laser to discuss consultation and custom design services if necessary to meet those requirements.
Network Signals
Most EtherStop-equipped systems support standard 100BASE-TX Ethernet connections via built-in network interfaces. The signals required for Ethernet connectivity are carried alongside the compliance signals in the same cable. Some EtherStop-equipped devices do not contain any active network interfaces and can only pass Ethernet links from one device to another. Some EtherStop-equipped devices may provide other types of Network connectivity on dedicated Network ports, such as 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, fiber, and PoE. Refer to device documentation for more specific information on the capabilities of each of the device's ports.
Daisy Chaining EtherStop devices
EtherStop devices that include Thru ports may be 'daisy chained' to allow Compliance and Network signals to be distributed to multiple devices. These chains of devices may include both Remote and EtherStop Thru port pairs, however only EtherStop Thru pairs will pass Network signals down the chain.
