Problem Cause Solution
3.
The joystick was
inadvertently moved
during the automatic
return to the ‘Work’
position.
Press ‘Work’ again.
The movements of the
mechanical do not
correspond with the
movements of the joystick -
specifically, movements of
the Z-axis control seem to
cause “runaway”
movements of the Z-axis
motor (other anomalous
activity may also be
observed). Often, the end of
the Z-axis travel will be
reached but the motor will
not stop.
The domestic voltage supply
may have dropped below the
specification for the
instrument.
Investigate the domestic
power supply for your facility.
It may be necessary to install
a transformer to bring the
power back to normal. If you
have any questions regarding
power requirements, please
contact Sutter technical
support.
The motors “buzz”
abnormally during
movement, particularly
during movements to/from
“work” or “home” and
particularly at the ends of
axis travel.
There is some resistance
preventing the motors from
moving smoothly.
Do not touch the mechanical
during automatic movement.
Ensure that the cable
connecting the mechanical to
the controller is not under
tension – coil the cable a few
times on the bench surface
behind the microscope.

Transporting the Micromanipulator
When moving the instrument, the entire system should be disassembled and placed in its
original packaging. Shipping screws are supplied to prevent inadvertent vibrations damaging
the delicate manipulator mechanical. To install the shipping screws, follow this procedure:
1.
With the instrument switched on and the mechanical still installed on the microscope
adaptor, place the joystick in the coarse (‘C’ range) setting.
2.
Use the joystick to move the mechanical INWARDS, towards the center of the
microscope, exposing the outer two screws that fix the mechanical to the base plate.
3.
Loosen, remove and retain these two screws.
4.
Activate the ‘Setup’ function by pressing the key on the rear of the joystick.
5.
Without touching the joystick further, immediately switch off the power to the
instrument.
6.
Carefully unplug the connecting cable from the rear of the mechanical.
7.
Remove the mechanical from the adapter plate (remove retaining screws and ensure they
are kept in a safe place).
