2.4 Instructions Used in Special Installations Only

2.4.1 Installing and Using the Right Angle Adapter (2852RA)

Open the swing-out gate and remove it from the front of the MP225 by removing the four
Phillips-head screws. Next, install the right angle adapter on the front of the MP225 using
the supplied M3-0.5 hex head screws. Finally, install the swing out gate on the right angle
adapter using the four Phillips-head screws. With the right angle in place, the manipulator
(right handed) can be turned 90 degrees clockwise so that its bulk faces to the right instead
of the back of your microscope.
Having made the 90-degree rotation, if you wish to use the automated features and diagonal
movement mode of the MP225, two other minor changes must be made:
First, as the X and Y-axes have interchanged with the 90-degree rotation, the wires
controlling these two axes must be switched at the connector box.
Second, in order to have the Y axis movement be in the forward direction during the home
move, you need to rotate the Y axis 180 degrees with respect to the rest of the manipulator.
To reverse the Y (bottom axis in the rotated configuration), locate and loosen the 4 set screws
that attach the Y to the X. These are on the sides of the X or middle axis in the stack. When
the set screws are loose, you can move the Y off the X, rotate it 180 degrees and reinsert its
mounting posts into the correct holes in the X (the holes with set screws). Finally, press the
two axes firmly together and re-tighten the setscrews. Now the Y-axis will move forward
during the home move and back during the work position move.

2.5 Configuration Settings

The DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches are located on the back of the extended ROE box.
They are numbered 1 through 8. In all cases, the 0 or off position is in the direction of the
switch number and the 1 or on position is in the opposite direction and is also indicated by an
arrow and the word "ON" next to Switch 1. In order for any new switch settings to take
effect, the controller must be powered off and on.

2.5.1 Configuring Angle of Diagonal Mode Movement

DIP Switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 set the angle of the Diagonal mode movement.
The table gives the angles that can be used and the DIP-switch settings of switches 1,2,3 and
4.
