 JetLasers PL-E Pro

Introduction
JetLasers’ PL-E Pro series feature AC integration, robust design, flexible design, focus/defocus
mechanism, added safety features, metal button, spare barrel, long runtime and and high
reliability make them a better option for outdoor or field use where a a high power, high stability
handheld laser is required. The PL-E Pro series lasers are good for lab use where portability
and low cost are necessary.

What makes PL-E Pro different from previous versions?

1. The build quality strengthened, the intuitiveness enhanced in design
2. Modular battery barrel, assembling + shipping friendly, PL-E convertible
3. Tail safety pin added, more input sources explored, user safety fortified
4. Simplifying the functions and minimizing the failure rate
5. Aperture cap: anti-dust, user safety considered

Safety
● NEVER aim a laser at people, animals, or aircrafts.
● NEVER look directly into the beam of a laser.

● ALWAYS use protective eyewear when using laser.

○ Be certain to use eyeglasses designs for the wavelength of the laser, e.g., don’t
use safety glasses designed with blue lasers with red lasers; the red wavelengths
will not be filtered by the eyeglass.
● ALWAYS use caution when using high powered lasers indoors.

● BEWARE of laser beam reflections off of mirrors or other reflective surfaces

Batteries
● PL-E Pro series is by default a 26650 host at 28cm in length. 18650/16340 lithium-ion
batteries may also be used with the included case reducers. Some lithium-ion batteries
have flat-tops (as opposed to batteries with a “button-top”). Flat-top batteries must use
the included button magnets to make contact with the second battery.
○ Attach the small magnets to the positive end of the flat-top batteries.

● PL-E Pro series at 473/532/635/650/808/980/1064nm takes a single 18650/26650 (3.7v,

fully chargeable to 4.2V) or 5V AC wall adapter.

● PL-E Pro series at 405/445/465/520nm takes two 16340/18650/26650s (each 3.7v, fully
chargeable to 4.2V) or 8V AC wall adapter.
○ With two batteries at full charge, the voltage will be at 8.4v and will not damage
the laser diode.

● The extension tube is included for users to use two 18650/26650 batteries.
○ With the extension, the laser totals at a length of 35cm.

● AC wall adapters are not included in the packing list. If you have the right AC adapter,
you can run the laser on AC without the batts needed.

Focusing Mechanism
Before we can talk about how the focusing mechanism works, there is one term that you should
be familiar with - beam divergence. Beam divergence is a measure of how wide a laser beam
will expand from its point of focus.

Contrary to popular belief that a laser will stay as a “dot” as it reaches miles and miles in
distance. All laser beams will diverge, i.e., the “dot” will become big as it reaches further
distance. By using a lense or a set of lenses, we can control the divergence at a certain
distance. Understanding this concept will help you understand how a laser “burns.”

Inside the laser units, there are a set of lense that by turning the focusing ring, you can achieve
the following beam configurations. When you are turning the focusing ring, you are essentially
moving the lense to change the focal length of the lense and the laser diode.

● Figure A is known as a “diverging beam.” In this configuration, the beam begins as a

narrow-gathered beam and eventually expands as the distance increases.

● Figure B is known as a “converging beam.” In this configuration, the beam begins as a

wide beam, but at certain distance will converge, i.e., come together, and then it will
diverge again.

● Figure C is known as a “collimated beam.” In this configuration, the beam begins as a

wide beam and remains so throughout the length of the beam. (remember that every
laser beam will begin to diverge, i.e., becoming wider, at some point (unless there are
more lenses to refocus the beam).

A laser, like all light source, is taking that light source and focusing it to a point to increase the
intensity of that light. The idea is very similar to taking a magnifying glass to focus sunlight to
burn something.

 JetLasers PL-E Pro

On the topic of burning, a laser once again is a light source. Light in and of itself cannot burn.
However, taking that same light and gathering it into a very narrow beam will begin ignition, if
there is enough intensity (the higher wattage equates to higher intensity).

The target must also be taken into account. Light (not dark) objects will reflect a light source
instead of absorbing it. On the other hand, a dark object will be able to absorb light better.
Remember, the more light energy an object absorbs, the more easily it will ignite something.

One last thing to note, focusing your laser according to figure B will be the best for burning
things. However, take note that the point of convergence will also shift depending on your focus
settings.

ALWAYS USE PRECAUTION WHEN USING HIGH POWERED LASERS!

Beam Expander

The beam expander does exactly what the name implies - it expands the beam. Because of the
limitations of using only one focusing mechanism on any focusable laser, if you want to add
versatility and the ability to focus the beam at multiple distances, a beam expander will help you
do that.

When you attach the beam expander to the laser unit, you can either diverge the beam or
converge the beam at longer distances.

Using the focusing ring on the beam expander (the ring with ridges on it), you can control the
focal length of the beam. Also note that the focusing ring on the laser unit itself also affects the
focus of the beam expander - they work in conjunction with each other. The focusing ring on
the beam expander can be rotated from one end to the other of a total of 13 full rotations so
don’t be surprised if you can seemingly rotate the focusing ring on and on.

AC Adapter
● How to Run the laser on AC adapter:
AC adapter is also called power adapter, because it converts AC power from a wall jack
into DC power for the laser module. PL-E Pro lasers can run on AC adapter either with
or without batteries loaded. To use it, plug the AC cord into a wall socket, and then
connect the DC end of the adapter to the DC jack on the PL-E Pro laser. The LED
indicator will light up.

Most orders ship within 2-3 business days of purchase. Shipping times may vary due to
availability of merchandise. Orders are not shipped on the weekends or holidays.

Will I Have To Pay International Taxes And Duties?

There always no extra custom fees. But the recipient will be fully responsible for the
charges if there is any. Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are
levied once a shipment reaches your country. This is just a general guideline and you
should contact your customs office for specific amounts and percentages. We cannot
control and is not responsible for any duties/taxes applied to your package. You will be
responsible for paying additional charges for customs clearance. Customs policies vary
widely from country to country; please contact your local customs office for further
information. Note, in rare occasions custom agents may delay delivery of some
packages. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import
taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the
recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the
recipient; JETLASERS has no control over these charges, nor can JETLASERS predict
what they may be. The recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws
and regulations of the destination country. Orders shipped outside of China may be
subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country.

Note: Customs offices in some countries require the importer of record to provide a
particular form of identification before releasing a shipment. You may be required to
provide an identification number such as a Unique Identification Number, CPF, or Tax
ID. Countries that require an identification number include: Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador,
India, Israel, Peru, Qatar, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey.

Do You Ship To PO BOX (APO/FPO/DPO) Address?

Generally speaking, we don't support this kind of service. But currently, we could only
ship to P.O. Boxes and military addresses (APO, FPO) address via standard shipping.
So please provide us with the most up-to-date, accurate and detailed shipping
information with your phone number for the shipping. Your cooperation will be much
appreciated. All parcels will be held for picking up if cannot be signed or delivered. If an

10
