Page 3: Led Indicator
ISOMET LED INDICATOR The front panel tri-colour LED indicates the operating state. YELLOW The middle LED will illuminate YELLOW when 24Vdc supply is applied. Normal condition is ON GREEN The top LED will illuminate GREEN when Amplifier and AO thermal interlocks* are valid. -
Page 4: Installation And Adjustment
ISOMET INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT Please refer to the Synthesizer manual for frequency, phase and amplitude control of the input signals. Connect cooling water at a flow of more than 1 litres/minute at < 25 deg.C to both the RF amplifier and AO device. Due to the RF power dissipated in the AO modulator, it is paramount that the device is operated only when water cooling is circulating. - Page 5 ISOMET Adjustment of the RF output power is best done with amplifier connected to the acousto-optic modulator. The optimum RF power level required for the modulator to produce maximum first order intensity will be different at various laser wavelengths. Applying RF power in excess of this optimum level will cause a decrease in first order intensity (a false indication of insufficient RF power ) and makes accurate Bragg alignment difficult.
- Page 6 ISOMET 3.11 To equalise deflection efficiency at the extremes of the scan, alternate between the minimum and maximum desired frequencies and adjust Bragg angle to give the same efficiency for both. The correct phase offset at each frequency must be applied. (Note: the photo detector or light power meter will require repositioning for the two angles.) Sweeping the freq’...

Page 7: Maintenance
ISOMET MAINTENANCE Cleaning It is of utmost importance that the optical apertures of the deflector optical head be kept clean and free of contamination. When the device is not in use, the apertures may be protected by a covering of masking tape. - Page 8 ISOMET RFA 01n0-4 Standard Version Connection Summary ‘D’ Type Control Connection Normal connection is to J5 of iMS4 Signal Type Pin out connection Digital Gate Input Signal pin 9 Internal pull up to 5Vdc Return pin 4 Closed or logic LOW (0.0v<V<0.8v)
