Safety Precautions 11
1. Safety Precautions
1.1 General Safety Warnings
Observe these general warnings when operating or servicing this system:
• Heed all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
• Do not use this equipment in or near liquids.
• Do not operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
• Only plug the controller/driver unit into a grounded power outlet.
• Route power cords and cables where they are not likely to be damaged.
• Disconnect power before cleaning the controller/driver unit. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Only qualified service personnel should open the case of the
controller/driver. There are no user-serviceable components inside unit.
• Dangerous voltages associated with the 100-120 V AC power supply are
present inside controller/driver unit. To avoid injury, do not touch exposed
connections or components while power is on.
• Do not wear rings or wristwatches when troubleshooting electrical
circuits.
• To avoid fire hazard, use only the specified fuse(s) with the correct type
number, voltage and current ratings. Only qualified personnel should
replace fuses.
• Qualified service personnel should perform a safety check after any
service.
• To prevent damage to the equipment, read the instructions in this manual
for selection of the proper input voltage.
• If the Fast Steering Mirror is used with lasers, avoid looking into the laser
beam, and take precaution not to aim the laser beam at the eyes of others.
1.2 General Cautions
Observe these cautions when operating or servicing this equipment:
• Handle equipment with care, like other delicate electronic equipment.
• To prevent damage to equipment when replacing fuses, locate and correct
the problem that caused the fuse to blow before re-applying power.
12 Safety Precautions
• Use only specified replacement parts.
• Follow precautions for static-sensitive devices when handling electronic
circuits.
• This product should only be powered as described in this manual.
• If this equipment is used in a manner not specified within this manual, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• Do not position this equipment in a location that would make it difficult to
turn off power to the equipment or disconnect the AC power cord.
WARNING
AC power line voltages are present inside the controller/driver unit.
To avoid possibility of electrical shock, refer all service to qualified
personnel.
WARNING
If the Fast Steering Mirror is used with lasers, avoid looking into the
laser beam, and take precaution not to aim the laser at the eyes of
others.
CAUTION
Static-sensitive electronic equipment. Wear grounding strap when
handling electronic circuit boards and components found inside the
controller/driver unit.
FRAME & CHASSIS TERMINAL
This symbol identifies the terminal used for connecting a ground to
the chassis. The power cord, properly grounded, will normally ground
the chassis.
Fast Steering Mirror Technology 13
2. Fast Steering Mirror Technology
Originally conceived for military/aerospace applications such as high-speed
target tracking and secure satellite-to-satellite communication, fast steering
mirror technology has been developed to the point where it is economically
viable for widespread commercial use in dynamic mirror alignment applica-
tions. This technology can be used to stabilize laser beams (Figure 1), track
work pieces for precision laser micro-machining, scan laser beams for realtime confocal microscopy, track optical receivers for laser free-space communication, and increase sharpness in sophisticated imaging systems.
Figure 1: Two fast steering mirrors used to compensate for input tilt errors.
A practical fast steering mirror head is shown in Figure 2. There are eight
basic head components: voice-coil actuators, mirror, mirror carrier, flexure
suspension, frame, housing, internal position sensors, and position sensor
electronics. These components work with the controller to produce the
precision rotation and speed characteristic of these devices.
