Setting up the
external quantitative
Contact Alert System
The external quantitative Contact Alert System has its own
indicators, an adjustable audible alarm, and an analog meter for
measuring the contact pressure. While you are using the external
Contact Alert system, the Contact and Stop indicators on the front
panel of the microscope do not light; they are replaced by the visual
and audible alarms available through the controller.
Notice
The contact alarm lines for this system are not monitored by
software. Always disable Auto ATR while using the external
qualitative Contact Alert System. Damage resulting from stage
crashes is not covered by warranty.

See
the Contact Alert User’s Manual for detailed procedures for
using the quantitative Contact Alert system.
Use the following procedure to set up the external, quantitative
Contact Alert system. Use this option when you need to measure
samples with the best possible reproducibility of contact pressure;
for example, for quantitative analyses or research studies.
Caution
Avoid shock hazard. Before connecting the quantitative Contact
Alert System, always turn off the microscope power.
