5 Operating Instruction
5.1 Installing and Removing Modules
The TXP5016 and TXP modules are 'Hot-Swappable'. This means that the modules can be
detached, exchanged or installed during normal operation of the TXP5016.
· Loosen the two to four mounting screws on top and below the ejector handle
·
Push the red button of the ejector handle and flip down the black ejector handle. This
pulls out the module from its internal plug.
You can now remove the module. If you do not insert another module, please close the empty
slot with a blind module to maintain a proper cooling air flow inside the unit. Tighten the two to
four screws.
Detaching the module leads to an automatic disconnect, if the module was connected and
operated by the control PC.
Note
In order to maintain a proper air flow for internal cooling, unused TXP slots must be covered by
blind modules!
Make sure, that
- the TXP5016 with inserted electronics module is switched on and connected either to the
LAN, using a standard ethernet patch cable, or directly to the PC, using the supplied
cross-over patch cable.
-
the ejector handle of the inserted module is in the very upright position:
Yes! No!
Now, the modules can be operated. Please see the individual TXP module manuals for
operation details.
5.2 Global Interlock
The TXP5016 comes with a "global" interlock that provides a safety function to all installed TXP
modules simultaneously. This safety function is module-dependent:
·
TXP laser sources: opening the interlock, the laser emission is switched off.
·
TXP combined current and temperature controllers: the laser current output is switched off.
·
All other TXP modules (polarimeters, polarization controllers): no function.
The TXP5016 is delivered with an interlock plug. Install this plug for normal operation.
Alternatively, the global interlock can be used to activate the described above safety functions
to protect a running setup against external events, such as opening a protective cover, a lab
door or for use with an emergency switch.
