INFORMATION
Sound and vibration (e.g., footfall, knocks) can be transmitted to the P-54x and can affect its
performance with regard to position stability.
Avoid sound and vibration while the P-54x is being operated.
6.2
Operating the P54x (All Models Except the P541.T0L)
Follow the instructions on starting and operating the P-54x in the user manual for the
electronics (p. 12).
6.3
Operating the P541.T0L
INFORMATION
To prevent the X or Y rotational axes from creeping, the output voltage of the electronics on
channels 1, 2, and 3 must be changed in proportion to each other. Details and examples are in
the following instructions.
Requirements
You have installed (p. 17) the P-541.T0L correctly and connected it to the electronics
(p. 24).
Tools and accessories
Suitable electronics (p. 12)
Starting and operating the P541.T0L with the E663 electronics
1.
Control the tilting motion of the X axis as follows:
a)
Set the output voltage on channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3 on the electronics to
50 V DC in order to move the P-541.T0L's piezo actuators to the center position.
b)
Change the output voltage on channel 2 and channel 3 inversely to each other by
an equal amount. Leave the output voltage on channel 1 unchanged at 50 V DC.
Example:
If you increase the voltage on channel 2 from 50 V DC to 70 V DC, the voltage
on channel 3 must be decreased from 50 V DC to 30 V DC at the same time.
2.
Control the tilting motion of the Y axis as follows:
a)
Set the output voltage on channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3 on the electronics to
50 V DC in order to move the P-541.T0L's piezo actuators to the center position.
