2100 Piezoelectric Isolation System - Installation & Operation Manual

For three (3) isolator STACIS
systems
, the wedgemounts cannot be used to adjust loading of the
isolators. Follow the steps below to monitor isolator loading. If the isolators are not properly loaded, their
installation location must be changed until each isolator is within its proper load range.
8)
Connect the Main Cables between the Controller and Isolators as illustrated in Figure 6 and Figure 7.
9)
Connect the Controller’s AC Power Cord to an appropriate AC power source (110-230 VAC).
10)
Switch the Controller’s Main Power ON (rocker switch on the left of the front panel).
Note:
The LCD
backlight and System Status LED will light.
11)
The system will perform an automatic Power-On Self Test (POST). The LED will turn amber and the
following message will display on the LCD:
S T A C I S 2 1 0 0
P o w e r - U p S e l f T e s t
This test will last approximately 60 seconds.
Throughout the test, the controller’s LCD will show error messages like:
1 Z a x i s N o t O p t i m i z
d G = - 7 0 . 5 d B d P = - 4 5 º
Upon completion of the test, the System Status LED will turn green and the LCD will show a message
indicating the “not optimized” condition for the last axis tested.
12)
Press the switch
PREVIOUS
on the controller’s front panel repeatedly
until the following message is
seen on the LCD:
T M C S T A C I S 2 1 0 0
p n 9 5 - 2 8 7 5 6 - 0 1 R e v #
At this point of the installation, the POST will find that all axes are “out of range”. This is
because the HVA cables are not connected.
This is normal
.
•
The main cable connectors are labeled at both ends to indicate controller and
isolators connection points.
•
At the isolator end, the cable forks, with one connector going to the top of the
isolator (DB25), and a second (DB9) going to the High Voltage Amplifier (HVA).
•
Do not connect the cable to the high voltage amplifier in the base of the
isolator at this time.
These cables (which power the active isolation) should only
be connected after the load adjustment procedure is complete.
•
Any excess length of the cables could be coiled.
•
The sensor reading is not related to the overall height of the isolator.
•
Adjusting the wedgemount in one isolator will affect the displayed value by altering the
load on all isolators, as in
redistribution of the load
.
•
The reading of the load sensors is not intended for precise measurement. It is simply
an effective method for providing information about the relative load distribution
between the isolators.
