xTool S1 with 2W infrared laser module.

Issue Description

The 2W (Infrared) laser module is designed to have an overtemperature protection mechanism.

When the module gets hotter than 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F), alert messages will show on XCS.

Note: the 10W, 20W, and 40W laser modules of xTool S1 don't have such alerts.

Solution

Using the 2W laser module in high temperatures can shorten its lifespan and also affect the power output and processing results. Therefore, when the alert message appears on XCS, we recommend that you wait for the cool-down before resuming your work.

Note: The machine has a "pause and resume" function, so you don't need to worry about wasting your work progress and the material. Simply press the processing button again and the machine will start from where it stopped.

When the temperature is over 38°C

As this is an early warning, you can continue to work or wait for the machine to cool down.

However, the alarm will keep going during this time, until the temperature gets back to normal.

When the temperature is over 40°C

At this point, the system will have to forcefully shut down the machine.

Once the temperature gets back to normal, the machine will be operational again.
