Connecting the Laser’s head

Attention: In order to connect and disconnect the laser head, Mr Beam must be disconnected from the power supply! Mount the laser head to the base plate using the knurled screw. Tighten the knurled screw moderately with two fingers.  Then connect both the hose, as well as the ribbon cable to the laser head.

Attention: The silver contacts of the ribbon cable must be on the top.

The black bracket fixes the ribbon cable to the socket.

Attention: To disconnect the cable, pull out the bracket about 2 mm carefully. For fastening, press in the bracket on both sides.

To adjust the laser focus to different material heights, the base plate can be mounted at different heights. You can make fine adjustments using the knurled screw and the slotted hole in the base plate.  See the Chapter 09 Focus laserhead.

Connection of the suction / Air Filter System

Screw the elbow to the end of the hose (left-hand thread).

Screw the contra-angle incl. hose to the housing using the knurled screws. Place the washers between the screw and the rubber. Also, connect the Mr Beam Air Filter System or suction fan with the appropriate cable.

In the case of Air Filter II, connect the 50 mm suction socket to the top of the Air Filter System. If you have purchased Air Filter III, connect the second suction socket using the knurled screws on the back of the Air Filter System. Also, connect the Air Filter connection cable to the Air Filter System. The Air Filter III must also be connected to the power socket using the enclosed power supply unit.

Caution : If you operate your Mr Beam without Mr Beam Air Filter System, you are obliged to ensure that the waste air is discharged properly. Failure to do so may result in serious damage to health.

To do this, direct the waste air outdoors or connect the hose to an existing waste system. Fix the hose carefully and prevent the waste air from entering the room.

To shut down your Mr Beam, press the button 5 seconds until the Status Lights turn permanently red. After 15 seconds the whole system shuts down.
When all the lights in the Mr Beam are off, turn the key to turn it off completely.

Connect with computer

Connection options with Mr Beam
There are three options to connect Mr Beam to your computer or tablet. Choosing the most appropriate option depends on your personal usage preference and the network available at the location Mr Beam is set up in. In all cases, you need the Google Chrome Browser. Other Browsers are not supported. Please choose one of the following connection options and proceed with the installation in the section “ Status Lights“ on the next page.
Option A : Connection via Wi-Fi
Connect your computer directly to the Wi-Fi of your Mr Beam. This is the easiest connection option. No internet access or network infrastructure is required. You may not be able to use the internet on your computer while you are connected to Mr Beam. See page 29.

Option B: Connection via network cable (Ethernet) and router

Connect Mr Beam to the network router using a cable. Then, use the find. mr- beam service to create a connection to your Mr Beam. This option is particularly stable due to the cable connection. An internet connection is necessary for the use of the find. mr-beam service. See page 30.

Option C: Connection via Wi-Fi and router:
Connect your Mr Beam to your network via Wi-Fi. To do this, connect Mr Beam to your Wi-Fi using the Wi-Fi username and password. For the initial setup, you need to connect via Option A or B first. The initial setup may be a little complicated, but in the long term, this is the most comfortable option that many users prefer. See page 31.

Connect with computer

Status Lights

Whether you are setting up for the first time or have connected to your Mr. Beam many times before, the Mr Beam Status Lights will show you how to connect to your Mr Beam right now. For this purpose, the Status Lights pulsate (blink slowly) in different colors.

• Green pulsation

Your Mr Beam pulses green if a Wi-Fi direct connection is possible. The direct connection via the Wi-Fi of the Mr Beam is used during the initial setup and if you want to operate the Mr Beam without an active internet connection. (e.g. at fairs or in the basement). For more details of the Wi-Fi direct connection, please refer to page 30.

• Orange pulsation

Your Mr. Beam pulses orange if it has an active internet connection. In this case, you can access your Mr Beam via find. mr-beam.org in the Google Chrome browser. More details about the active internet connection (via router or network cable) can be found on pages 31 and 32.

• White pulsation

Your Mr. Beam pulses white if it is connected to your local network but has no active internet connection. Visit our online Knowledge Base to find possible solutions.
When pulsing green and white at the same time, a Wi-Fi direct connection is possible and it is connected to your network router, but still cannot be found on find. mr-beam.org.

Option A – Direct connection via Mr Beam Wi-Fi

Option B – Cable and router

Connect your Mr. Beam to your router with a network cable (Ethernet). The network socket is located on the back under the USB ports. Note: Do not confuse the socket with the Air Filter System connection on the other side.

Make sure your computer is also connected to the router via cable or Wi-Fi.

After a few seconds (maximum 60 s), your Mr Beam will pulsate with orange lights. The next steps can be found on page 29. Note: During the initial setup, your Mr. Beam will guide you through the Mr Beam Welcome Dialog. If you wish to do so, you can set up a Wi-Fi connection with the router there.

Option C – Wi-Fi and router

For initial setup, you need to first connect through either option A or B to get to the   Welcome Dialog, where you can set up your Wi-Fi connection. If you select Option A, connect your computer directly to the Wi-Fi of your Mr Beam. Afterwards, enter the IP address 10.250.250.1 in your Google Chrome browser. This process is described in detail on page 30.

If you have a cable, select Option B to connect Mr Beam to your router with the cable. Now use the find. mr-beam service to connect to your Mr Beam for the first time. This process is described in detail on page 31.

Depending of the chosen option, Mr Beam will greet you with the Welcome Dialog. During the Welcome Dialog, you have the option of connecting your Mr Beam to your Wi-Fi. Click the Connect button that appears next to your Wi-Fi network name and then enter your Wi-Fi password

Note: A similar process is performed when registering a new smartphone in your Wi-Fi.

Option C – Wi-Fi and router

Further procedure If you have chosen Option A for the initial setup and are connected directly to Mr Beam via Wi-Fi, your Mr Beam will disconnect the Wi-Fi connection to your computer to connect to your Wi-Fi router. If successful, your Mr Beam will soon pulsate orange and you will be able to connect to the find. mr-beam. org service. Note: If this does not succeed, e.g., because an incorrect password has been entered, you will not receive an error message because you are no longer connected to your Mr Beam. In this case, you will have to repeat the connection process of Option A from the beginning. If you have selected Option B with the cable for the initial setup, your Mr Beam will indicate whether the Wi-Fi connection to your router was successful or not. If successful, you can now unplug the network cable, use the Wi-Fi connection and use the find.mr-beam.org service . Slow connection If you experience a slow connection while using your Mr Beam (e.g. pictures from the camera do not load or load slowly), this may be due to a poor Wi-Fi connection. The range of the Wi-Fi connection can be reduced by walls, ceilings, and furnishings. Other devices that also work with high- frequency signals can interfere with the Wi-Fi connection.

Note: Keep the distance between your Mr Beam and Wi-Fi router as small as possible to ensure a good connection. If necessary, amplify the signal with commercially available WLAN repeaters. If you still cannot improve the connection, try option B (network cable and router) in this case.

Focus laser head

You need to focus on the laser head to achieve the best result with your Mr. Beam. Because the laser light conically leaves the laser head, there is one point at which it is focused maximally, the Focus point. At this point, your Mr. Beam has the maximum performance and highest precision. Therefore, the Focus point should be positioned exactly on the material and needs to be manually adjusted to the material height. For this adjustment, the distance between the bottom edge of the laser head and the top edge of the material has to be 10mm. Use the Mr Beam Focus Tool for this. Rough focus

1. Attach the laser head to one of the four different positions

Fine focus

1. Open the screw on the left side of the laser head to move it up and down.
2. Place the focus tool with the cross between the material and the laser head

Position laser head

1. Place the laser head on the cross of the focus tool.
2. Then tighten the screw again moderately.

Maintenance and care

Attention: Regular maintenance and care are necessary. Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the Mr Beam and disconnect the power plug.

Laser head

The laser head should be cleaned regularly. As a guide value, the cleaning requirement can be viewed in the software under Settings -> Maintenance. If you work with materials that generate a lot of dust, such as wood, cleaning of the laser head may be necessary before 100% is reached.

Mechanics

The guide rails of the mechanical system must be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt. We recommend using a mild, grease-dissolving cleaner and a damp cloth for this purpose.

Working Area
To protect the Mr Beam from unnecessary workload and possible ignition of small parts, always keep the interior clean.

Mr Beam Air Filter System

To ensure that the exhaust air is cleaned by the Air Filter System, the filters must be changed regularly. The voucher code QUICKSTARTGUIDE gives you a 10€ discount on your first filter order in our Mr Beam online shop. mr- beam.org
Before starting
Check the pre-filter and main filter of the Air Filter II for correct fit. The prefilter must lie evenly flat and cover the entire surface. The soft, fluffy side of the prefilter must face upwards. With Air Filter III, only the main filter needs to be checked for correct fit, as the pre-filter is firmly enclosed in foam.

Filter change

The filters should be checked regularly. As a guide value, the wear of both filters can beviewed in the software under Settings -> Maintenance. If you work with materials that generate a lot of dust, such as wood, it may be necessary to change the filters before they reach 100%.
