8.2.1
Mounting and Dismounting of
NDD modules from the NDD port
To take off a NDD module from its port or from
the NDD module before loosen the screws (Fig. 3/
1
und
2
) on the port connection. There are two
screws at each connection port to fix the modules
to the port or to each other. The ports are
electronic connections, be careful when removing
or mounting the modules. Each unoccupied port
must be covered by the blind plate; otherwise the
system is not safe and does not work.
Make sure not to use two modules of the same
type on one LSM system. This leads to errors in the
system and one of the modules will not be
recognized. If a two channel module is extended
with additional modules, the NDDs must be
supported using the provided support posts which
have to be fixed to the table.
8.2.2
Electronic Connection of NDD modules
The electrical connection of transmitted and reflected light NDD modules needs to be done to two
different LVDS connectors.
On the realtime electronics unit, there are 4 LVDS ports, A-D (Fig. 4).
