General Remarks

Adjustment, General 0

Potentiometers
Adjustment of the potentiometers in the various axes is always performed according to the
same principle:
• Start the service interface, select <Tune up > <Stand> <Potentiometer Adjustment>
with <Select> and press <Start>.
• The axis to be adjusted is moved into a defined calibration position (use a spirit level or
a tape measure).

NOTE If the potentiometer is defective, only "slow speed" move-


ments are possible.

• Disengage the potentiometer from the axis, take the gear teeth out of mesh or loosen
the set screw on the potentiometer shaft.
• The actual value for the active potentiometer is displayed on the DDIS in the “Stand
message line” (examination room). All potentiometer values are displayed in the ser-
vice interface (control room).

NOTE A specific axis can be selected using the <SET> button.

• Adjust the potentiometer to the reference value in the table.


• Mesh the potentiometer or tighten the set screw. Compare the reference value to the
actual value; when doing this, observe the tolerance data.
• Perform the Linearity Adjustment.
• Move the axis over the entire movement range and check the values at the min. and
max. positions (see the table). When doing this, the “limit switches” may not respond.
Otherwise, perform an “End Position Adjustment".

NOTE Look through the event log for


AX_SCU_ERR_1100/_1101/_1105. This error is generated
when the potentiometer has not been adjusted correctly.

NOTE When moving the axis, make sure that there is not a drop
below or a rise above the A/D values, because this will
destroy the potentiometer.
Max. range of the potentiometer: 0...4096
Do not drop below or exceed the range: 50...4046

NOTE Following the potentiometer adjustment, perform the linear-


ity adjustment.

Reference Tags
Mechanical adjustment of the reflective photo-sensitive cells is performed by loosening the
mounting screws so that the photo-sensitive cell can just be moved.
The distance from the reflective surface should be 3,5 ± 1 mm betragen.
The reflective surface must be clean, otherwise function will be affected.
The values listed for voltage and AD values in the value tables are only reference values
that do not have to be set. The software automatically recognizes the reference tags.

Prerequisite 0

Prerequisite for the linearity adjustment is that the potentiometers have been correctly
adjusted.
A tape measure and a spirit level are needed as aids.

Settings 0

NOTE Only with dMP!


Before the SSW is started, the detector must be positioned in
the 0° position (slot of the grid insert pointing towards the
operator).

NOTE With VBxx: Following the linearity adjustment for CarmRot


(Orbital) and the receptor, the end position adjustment must
be performed for each.
With VAxx: Following the linearity adjustment for CarmRot
(Orbital), CarmAng (Angular) and the receptor, the end posi-
tion adjustment must be performed for each.

In the service screen, select <Tune Up> <Stand><Movement Linearity Range Adjustment>
with <Select> and press <Start or <Go>. The results of the last adjustment will be displayed
in the Result box. The individual axes can be selected by using the <Set> button.
The axis is displayed on the data display and the direction or position in which the axis is
to be moved (Fig. 3 / p. 10). Depending on the axis, movement must be into 1 to 3 posi-
tions. The same values and illustrations apply here as for the corresponding potentiometer
adjustment.
Once the axis has been aligned using the spirit level or the tape measure, this position is
temporarily saved by pressing the Prog_1, Prog_2, Prog_3 buttons on the stand control
module (SCM).

• Move the center of the MTS/DCS carriage (center of rotation bearing (1/Fig. 25 / p. 37))
to the center of the tabletop.
• The <Monitor A> axis is selected in the service menu.
- Temporarily save the value with the Prog 1 button.
- The final save is made by pressing the <STORE> button.
- Save the data with <SAVE> and exit the service software with <EXIT>.

End Position Adjustment

Due to mechanical tolerance and different loads exerted by a 40 cm I.I., the limit switches
in the rotation, orbital and receptor axes can respond. The position of the software limit
switches is redefined by the End Position Adjustment and movement into the limit switches
is avoided. Aids for this adjustment are not needed.

NOTE Beginning with VBxx software, only the orbital and receptor
axis needs to be adjusted.

In the service screen, select <Tune Up> <Stand><End Position Adjustment> with <Select>
and press <Start>. The results of the last adjustment will be displayed in the Result box.
The individual axes can be selected by using the <Set> button.
Adjustment of the end positions is supported by the service software.
Follow the information on the display (Fig. 3 / p. 10).
Readjustment is necessary only if despite correct potentiometer adjustment and completed
linearity adjustment, there is movement into one of the limit switches.
The axis is displayed on the data display and the direction or position in which the axis is
to be moved. After reaching the end position (software limit), the axis must be moved fur-
ther by pressing the override buttons (simultaneously press the Prog_1 and Prog_2 but-
tons) until the hardware limit switches are reached.
The result of the adjustment is displayed on the data display. The axis adjustment is saved
by pressing the <Store> button and there is a skip to the next axis.

NOTE The adjustment must be saved in the service interface with


<Save>, otherwise the entire adjustment is rejected.

until the message "PMS finished" is displayed on the DDIS.
2. The adjustment parameters are saved permanently only when the Save button is
clicked on in the service interface. A time frame is no longer specified.
