OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After unpacking unit inspect for any defects. If upon inspection a problem is found, or a part (or parts)
are missing, notify Vincent Associates immediately.
After initial inspection, the unit is ready for use. Please read the following operating instructions.
Improper input/output connections to the unit may cause irreparable damage. Follow specifications
carefully.
INITIAL OPERATION AND TESTING
The D122 and T132 will run from 115VAC or 230VAC (50-60Hz). The driver automatically adapts to
the supplied line voltage. No modifications are necessary. Once the line cord has been attached to unit and
then connected to properly grounded wall receptacle, unit may be operated. *BE SURE POWER
SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING PLUG TO LINE. ATTACH LINE
CORD TO ITS DRIVER UNIT FIRST BEFORE PLUGGING INTO WALL*
Insert seven pin male connector of shutter interconnect cable into seven pin female receptacle at rear of
unit labeled SHUTTER. Connect seven pin female connector of shutter interconnect cable to seven pin
male connector on shutter unit.
Place POWER switch to the ON position, POWER LED will illuminate. Place the N.O./N.C. switch
into the N.O. position. The shutter will open and remain open until the switch is returned to the to N.C.
position. The SHUTTER LED will illuminate when the switch is in the N.O. position.
All
UNIBLITZ
drivers provide the circuitry necessary to support shutters equipped with the solid state
synchronization option. Simply plug the shutter interconnect cable into the driver. If your shutter is
equipped with this option the green LED labeled SYNC will illuminate when the shutter is in the open
position. The Active-low SYNC output will go low when the shutter is open. The absence of the solid state
synchronization option will only inhibit the operation of the SYNC output and LED. The remainder of the
controller systems will not be affected.
See specifications and operator controls for additional operational information.
Caution
Should the shutter and/or control not respond as described previously, be sure line cord is installed into
the receptacle and connections to the shutter are made properly. Note that the shutter output is also fused.
Unplug the unit before checking for blown fuses. Be advised, a visual inspection of a fuse is usually not an
adequate test to determine if a fuse failure has occurred. Use a DMM (Digitial Multi-Meter) or equivalent
test device to determine fuse continuity. Also, particular shutter units respond to different minimum pulse
widths. For example, a VS25 shutter has a minimum exposure response of 5ms, if the timing is set for a
pulse width less than 5ms the shutter may not open fully. If unit still does not operate properly please
notify Vincent Associates immediately.
SYSTEMS OPERATION
RS-232C OPERATION
Both the D122 and the T132 inputs can be controlled via an RS-232C signal. From your computer's RS-
232C serial port connect a cable (such as the 910RS cable, a null modem cable, or a user constructed cable
with connections as enumerated in the INPUT SPECIFICATIONS) to your unit's RS-232C interface. Tx
(transmit) from the host to the Rx (receive) on the T132 or D122 control unit. All other lines should have
the same pinout (from the host) provided the host uses a 9-Pin D-Sub connector. If the host contains a 25-
Pin D-sub, check your computer's user's manual to find the proper corresponding pin outs. In most cases
the corresponding 25-Pin D-Sub pin out is as follows:
