2.
Tum on the power.
3.
The system should perform its normal tum-on process as described in section
4.2.
above.
4.
Adjust the Command Input Offset Adjustment trimpot, Rl to
0.000
volts as measured on
R1.2 (wiper). Use TP2 or W7.2 as the ground reference. Center the scanner by inputting a
signal into the Command Input so that Position Output voltage reads
0.000
volts as measured
at TPl.
5.
Reflect a laser beam onto the mirror of the scanner being adjusted. This laser beam should
be parallel to the wall and level to the floor before it strikes the mirror on the scanner.
Position the scanner body vertically and so that the beam is striking the wall perpendicularly.
The scanned beam should be in the same plane as the beam striking the mirror. This is
important so that the optical beam deflection angle to mechanical deflection angle
relationship is a constant factor of
two.
Compound angles result in relationships that are not
just a factor of
two.
Mark tiiis location on the wall and label it PI. Measure the length from
the mirror to the wall and call this distance Ll.
6. Input a sine wave signal that drives the scanner to half of the full peak-to-peak angular
swing. Usually an input amplitude of
3.535
volts rms is appropriate. See section 3.6 above
for more information on the input scale factor calculation. Use an input
frequency
of-30 Hz
for most applications. For systems with low system bandwidth, because of
very
large loads,
drop the
frequency
to ~5Hz. Ensure the input sine wave signal has no DC component, i.e.
that the peak positive and negative excursions are equal.
7.
Measure the rms voltage on TPl. Call this voltage VPl.
8. Label the endpoints ofthe scanned line on the wall as P2 and
P3.
Measure the distance from
P2to P3. Call
tiiis
distance L2.
9. The Position Output Scale Factor, POSF, is obtained with the following formula:
POSF = (VPl^
1.414)
/ ((arctangent(L2 / Ll / 2)) / 2) volts/° mechanical
10.
Use
R13
to set the POSF to
0.500
vohs/° mechanical. Setting it to anything else can damage
the scanner.
11.
Ensure that the
ACJC
voltage on TP7 never exceeds
+11V.
If it does, the AGC amplifier may
saturate as the scanner ages or temperatures change. The scanner would still operate, but at a
profound decrease in positioning stability. If the desired position signal gain cannot be
obtained without exceeding +1IV, seek technical assistance from Cambridge Technology.
12.
Monitor the ACJC signal at TP7 on an oscilloscope. AC couple the scope. Set the sensitivity
to lOmV/div. Adjust the Linearity Adjustment trimpot R77 to minimize the peak-to-peak
excursions of this signal.
