Bi-Stable Shutter Operation
How it Works
DACO advanced laser bi-stable shutter devices are pulse-driven. When the shutter receives the positive/negative pulse, the shutter moves in its “On” position, it will stay there even when the operating voltage is removed. The unit will return to the “Off” position when it receives the reverse negative/positive pulse.
