INSTALLINGYOURSYSTEM

Please take care with the cabling. Under no circumstances use the cabling to hold the stage.

STEP 1: Select the position for the

OP400 on the nosepiece.

STEP 2: Insert the microscope thread
adapter.

STEP 3: Connect the OP400 to the
nosepiece. Tighten with the hex key.

STEP 4: Insert the objective lens using the appropriate objective lens adapter. Note no
adapter is necessary for M32. Other objectives can be inserted into the nose piece using
option parfocal spacers.

TURNINGON YOUR SYSTEM

1. Once the stage is mounted, connect stage to the controller ensuring that the connector screws are tightened to the controller
lock posts.

2. Connect Power to controller and USB interface to the PC.

3. Switch ON controller using switch on rear panel. After approx. 30 seconds, the relevant stage channel should show two green
lights (Closed and IN-POS). This indicates the stage is operating in the CLOSED loop mode and IN-POS LED indicates stage has
reached position within a pre-defined band.

4. The analogue input and POS MON output is 0V to +10V giving a scale factor of 40µ/volt. The analogue input is enabled by
default. The Scale Factor is in microns per volt. 50 microns per volt for the OP400.

5. The system has 8 memory positions for PID settling (accessible via the USB interface). The system has been shipped with
optimized settings for different objective loads, resolution and step settle requirements. The default setting has been optimized for
loads from 150g to 500g. To change to the other settings it is necessary to connect to a computer, the next section demonstrates
how to change to other settings. Do not change settings too fast for load used or damage to the unit may occur.
