Installation:
CAUTION: MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTORS ARE SECURELY PLUGGED IN BEFORE POWER IS
TURNED ON. DO NOT REMOVE CONNECTORS WHILE POWER IS ON. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT AND PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.
To install the MC1000e-1, please refer to Figure 1: Interface or the supplied set up
instructions.
It is advised to place the controller away from the experiment area. Any liquid that may
come in contact with the controller can cause permanent damage to the system.
Attaching a ground wire to the ground lug supplied at the power jack on the top of the
controller, the users helps prevent damage from static shock and to ensure noise-free
operation while in use.
Interface:
Controller
The two push button switches located on the face of the controller are used to control
the motor drive in both the positive and negative direction.
Slow/Med/Rapid: This knob is used to change the speed of the motor drive. It has three
different speeds: slow, medium, and rapid.
The MC1000e-1 controller has two preset speed settings: rapid (1.7 mm/sec) and
medium (300 µm/sec).
Slow Range: The slow range knob is used during the slow speed of the Slow/Med/Rapid
knob. The Slow Range knob has a variable 330° potentiometer that enables settings
from high speed (50 µm/sec) to low speed (2 µm/sec). With the speed selector set at
the slowest settings, consistent 0.2 µm moves are made by a bump of the axis button.
Operation:
When the MC1000e-1 has been correctly installed, the user can begin use of the system. The
operation may be bench tested prior to installing the unit to an experiment.
When the user presses the right(forward move) or left(reverse move) button the motor drive
that is plugged into the 25 pin D-sub connector will move. The speed will be based on the
setting selected from the 3 position speed selection knob.
