HP/Hewlett Packard/Agilent 5517 Laser Heads/Transducers

This 5517C laser starts instnatly, runs reliably, and has a measured output power when locked (READY solid) of greater than 240 uW, way over the HP/Agilent specification of 180 uW. It is in excellent physical condition.

The buyer may opt for the normal closed or vented HP/Agilent cover pending availability. If not specified, I will select one. (The cover can always be transferred from your defective laser.) Standard metal feet are optional but will be included upon request.

IMPORTANT: However, the output is well down from the value printed on the label of 408 uW. And the split/REF frequency, which tends to increase with usage, is about 3.3 MHz, slightly above the range of 2.4-3.0 MHz spec'd for the 5517C, and close to that of the 5517D.

So, I don't know if this laser still has 100 hours or 10,000 hours remaining. It may also not work in some machines that check the REF frequency and either flag an error or produce erroneous results if it is outside the spec'd range.

But, I will offer the following warranty:

After 90 days, repair will be available on a time/materials basis.

Warranty void if failure resulted from improper installation, incorrect power wiring or voltages, lack of cooling, physical shock, being run over by a 10 ton truck, dropped down a flight of stairs, etc. Warranty excludes shipping.

Discount available with trade-in of your laser(s).
