1. Safety instructions
Plug-in power supply 230 V (1001014)/ 115 V
(1009545):
Operation only with the mains voltage ac-
cording to the imprint.
Do not use the device if there is visible
damage to the housing, plug or cable.
PS 400:
Connect or disconnect the control unit to
the sliding rail inly without connected
power supply.
Adjust the clutch force with the screw (14)
(allows the belt to slide in case of collision
at the end of the track or on sensitive com-
ponents, see 5.).
The sensor cable 1021514 is needed for
the CMA interface (8).
Do not apply voltage to the voltage output
V
out
(5).
2. Description
The Remote-Controlled Positioning System
PS 400 enables fast and exactly reproducible
positioning of components in experiments.
Fixed and programmable positioning steps with
assigned and programmable moving velocities
offer a high degree of flexibility with particularly
simple operation.
Experiments can be performed quickly and
without disturbing influences of the person per-
forming the experiment.
The CMA interface (8) enables recording the
position of the sled on the sliding rail via com-
puter or VinciLab (1021477). The position of the
sled can also be determined via the voltage out-
put (5). Measurement data from other sensors
can thus be recorded as a function of the sled's
position and quickly evaluated.

Control Unit PS400:
The control unit has fixed programmed keys
step size
(3). Pressing a button once moves
the sled the distance
s
at the velocity
v
:
"1“
s
= 1 mm
v
= 1 mm/s
"5“
s
= 5 mm
v
= 5 mm/s
"10“
s
= 10 mm
v
= 10 mm/s
"50“
s
= 50 mm
v
= 25 mm/s
"100”
s
= 100 mm
v
= 50 mm/s
The "100" key is also programmable. The dis-
tance can be selected from 1 mm to 405 mm,
the velocity from 1 mm/s to 100 mm/s (see 5.).
The movement of the sled is uniform:
v
= con-
stant.
Precision of moved distance: ± 0.1 %
Connetions:
1x Output voltage (5),

5. Operation
Connect the sliding rail and the control unit.
After connect the power supply to the con-
trol unit. The current position of the sled is
the so called "home" position (voltage U
out
between (5) and the reference point (7) is
0 V).
By pressing the "home" key, the sled
moves back to the "home" position from
any position.
A new "home" position can be set at any
desired sled position by pressing the two
function keys (6) simultaneously.
