READ THIS BEFORE CONNECTING
•
When unpacking the servo driver board(s), caution should be used to protect
against static electricity damage. Failure to use proper static protection may cause
damage to the servo driver boards and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
•
For your convenience, three mating connectors and pins ship with every driver
board; they are packaged separately.
•
For proper operation of two servos drives, be sure to attach both servo grounds
together as shown in the manual. Failure to do so could result in poor
performance.
•
If using a single ended command signal, Pin 1 is the positive (+) command input,
Pin 2 is the ground, Pin 3 is also tied to ground. Be sure to attach the ground pin
and the negative (-) command signal together at the servo drive command
connector.
•
Galvanometers packaged with servo drivers (and mirrors) are factory tuned as a
set. Each galvanometer is tuned together with a servo driver and MUST stay
together as a set. Servo driver boards have a copy of their mating scanner serial
number on the bottom of them.
•
Servo drivers must be properly attached to a heat sink. Refer to Section 9 on Heat
Sink Requirements in the manual for proper heat sinking instructions. Failure to
heat sink the servo driver could result in overheating of components, which could
void the manufacturer’s warranty.
•
Every servo driver is tuned to accept an input voltage range based on customer-
supplied information. Using input command voltages over the factory setting may
cause the mirrors to collide. NTI will not be responsible for mirror damage as a
result of command input voltages that exceed the factory setting.
•
Be sure that you connect the proper power and ground to your servo driver before
operation. The power supply should have sufficient voltage and current for your
application. Noisy power supplies can result in poor scanner performance.
Supplies are required to have <100mV of ripple at full load.
•
Your optical scanners were carefully tested and inspected before packaging.
Please report any damage to your shipping company immediately.
