3 First Steps
3.4 Installation and Functional Test
3.4.1 Vibrometer with Sensor Head OFV-303/-353
For the installation and an initial functional test of the vibrometer, proceed as
follows:
Preparing
1. Make sure that the key switch on the controller is in position O and the
beam shutter on the sensor head is in position OFF.
2. Check the setting on the mains voltage selector on the back of the
controller as well as the fuses.
Cabling
3. Plug the connecting cable into the Sub-D jack CONTROLLER on the back
of the sensor head and into the Sub-D jack INTERFEROMETER on the
back of the controller. Fix the connections with the screws provided.
All connections must be easy to plug in. If not, check the plug for bent
contact pins to avoid serious damage being incurred.
4. Use the earthed mains cable to connect the controller to a wall outlet
providing protective grounding.
Switching on
5. Switch the controller on by turning the key switch to position I.
On the front of the controller the L
ED
POWER lights up. Providing the
connecting cable has been installed correctly, the L
ED
LASER on the
sensor head also lights up. Laser light is not yet emitted as the beam
shutter is still closed.
6. Before now opening the beam shutter, remember the information on laser
!
7. Open the beam shutter on the sensor head by turning the knob to position
ON.
The laser beam is now emitted from the sensor head.
Test
8. Put a piece of reflective film (enclosed in this manual) at approximately
45 cm from the front panel of the sensor head in the beam path.
9. OFV-303: Pull the knob AUTO / MAN out until it clicks into place and turn
the focusing ring until the adjustment mechanism clicks into place.
OFV-353: Pull the knob BRAKE ON / OFF out until it clicks into place and
turn the focusing ring until the adjustment mechanism clicks into place.
Now the laser beam can be focused.
10. Focus the laser beam on the reflective film using the focusing ring on the
sensor head.
Providing the sensor head and the input section of the controller are
working correctly, the signal level display will fully light up.
11. If you have not been able to observe the effect described under
., check
the signal level again after 20 minutes. After this warm-up phase the laser
has reached its working temperature (refer also to
