Hi. I am using my cw5200 for 2 lasers, but I can only have one working at a time. The one that has the sensor connected. Does anyone know if there is a dual water sensor adapter for the chiller,
Thanks Scott

Use the water flow sensor that came as part of your laser itself, or if your machines don't have water sensors built in, disable the sensor function on the controller for one of the machines temporarily until you can buy and install a sensor on one machine (via the vendor settings)? These are cheap and easy to install.

Hi Doug. Both Lasers have sensors on them, Problem is they both need to be plugged in and the chiller only has one sensor connection. If not plugged in, even though the water is circulating, it simply reduce the laser power to none on one and very minimal on the other. I checked the setting on one of my lasers and the box is unchecked ( water protect). Ill check the other later, but what I am after is a double adapter for the chillers sensor input.

I have never seen dual sensor but I have seen a plug jumpered to make the circuit to fool the laser water sensor
