Before disconnecting the DB-9 connector from the PIEZOCONCEPT controller, first set the command voltage to 0.0V, then turn the AC power to the PIEZOCONCEPT controller off, and finally wait one minute before disconnecting. The TT2 has no user serviceable parts. Only trained service personnel should perform service.

• Do not lift by the cable. • The surface to which the TT2 is mounted to should be flat and clean. Likewise, the bottom of the TT2 should be free of particles and dust before mounting. • Do not immerse in any liquid. If the TT2 requires cleaning slightly dampen a lint free cloth with iso-propanol or ethanol and lightly wipe the surface.

IMPORTANT! Check for ground loops (Section 3) between the TT2 and the mounting surface. To install, use the M2 CHC holes in the Y-Axis of the TT2, these holes are on a 43mm square. When tightening the screws, do not hold the TT2 by the mirror platform or X-axis, instead hold it at the Y-Axis (bottom portion).

The single greatest danger to your nanopositioning system is a ground loop between the stage and the mounting surface. Ground loops can be the source of noise in the TT2, and in some cases the oscillations may be severe enough to permanently damage the piezoactuators.

OPERATION MANUAL”. 4.2 Care during operation The TT2 is a high precision scientific instrument and should be handled with care during operation. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage. • During operation ensure that there are no physical constraints on the moving stage or anything fixtured to the moving stage.
