Page 12: Introduction
FUNCTION switches is accessible on the front panel. These switches will set the VED24 in a number of configurations to allow most UNIBLITZ shutter types to be driven. The rotary octal switch establishes 16 different PULSE DURATION selections for each uni-stable and bi-stable shutter selections for a total of 32 timing pulse selections. -
Page 13: Start Up
Start Up After unpacking your unit inspect for any defects. If upon inspection a problem is found, or a part (or parts) is missing, notify Vincent Associates immediately. A check list is provided for a quick inventory of included cables and accessories. After the initial inspection the unit is ready to use. -
Page 14: Initial Operation And Testing
FUNCTION switches are configured for the proper shutter used; uni- stable or bi-stable. Please see FUNCTION Select under GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. ® The VED24, UNIBLITZ driver provides the circuitry necessary to support shutters equipped with the solid state synchronization option. Simply plug the shutter-interconnect cable into the driver. -

Page 24: Operating Basics
Operating Basics Refer to the section describing the Initial Operation and Testing for initial preparation to put the VED24 into operation. Function Switches There are four piano-DIP slide switches located on the unit’s front panel. For specific functions see FUNCTION Select under GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS or Table The switch actuators can be moved to the up or down position with a small non metallic tool. -
Page 25: I/O Considerations
I/O Considerations The PULSE INPUT BNC is an Active Low input. When a signal transitions from the high state to the low state, the shutter driver will be initiated and the shutter will transition. Because this is an Active Low input, the controller can be triggered from a remote activate cable such as the optional 710R or the 710R/F. -
Page 26: Trigger Cautions And Trouble Shooting Tips
Trigger Cautions and Trouble Shooting Tips 1. The VED24 system's capability is greatly enhanced by external control as described previously, however, extreme care must be taken to ensure that high voltages (see SPECIFICATIONS) are not inadvertently switched into external control inputs. Also, note that large negative voltages can cause irreparable damage to the unit's internal circuitry. Exercise extreme caution. -
Page 27: Maintenance
Maintenance Proper care and maintenance of the unit should be taken as with any electronic instrument. With the exception of the external DC power supply, there are no user-serviceable parts in the VED24. There is no service to be performed by the user other than inspection for visible damage. Although the stability of the timing and drive voltage is assured and calibrated prior to shipment, it may become necessary to make some minor adjustments and upgrades to the firmware of the VED24 over time. -
