3. Preparing to Install the PP-30 3.1 Installation Preparation When mounting the stage it is important to consider the flatness of the mounting surface, as the stage will conform to the shape of that mounting surface. A surface that is not flat can adversely affect the performance and structural integrity of the stage. The stage is calibrated and guaranteed to be within specification at 20 C ±5 C. Be sure to use the stage under the following conditions: Mount to a clean and flat surface which is free of debris, burrs or dings An indoor atmosphere free of corrosive gasses, and condensation Temperature range of 0-40 C Relative humidity between 20-80% Locate away from water, heat, and electrical noise 3.2 Package Contents If product is damaged or there are missing components, contact MICRONIX USA immediately. Do not discard product packaging in case of return shipment. Package Should Contain: PP-30 Linear Stage Any other previously agreed upon components such as a controller and cable 5

5. Connecting the PP-30 5.1 Atmospheric Environments The PP-30 is black anodized for atmospheric environments. This allows for a harder surface finish and greater durability over the life of the stage. 5.1.1 Open Loop Installation & Wiring Diagram Connecting the PP-30 in an open loop only requires that the MMCX coaxial motor cable be connected to a compatible controller. No other cables or components are needed. 5.1.2 Closed Loop Installation & Wiring Diagram Using the PP-30 stage with an encoder requires a closed loop compatible controller (PMC-100) that recognizes encoder feedback. Connect the stage as shown below using the supplied 15 to 9 pin cable to connect the Encoder Module to the Controller. See Section 5.2.3 if connecting to the PMA-100 Controller 11
5.2 Vacuum Environments 5.2.1 Handling and Preparation The vacuum version of the PP-30 is non-anodized and prepared for use in vacuum environments. Take the necessary precautions (such as wearing gloves, clean room clothing, etc.) when handling the stage as to avoid any contaminants. The connectors that ship with the stage are for testing use only and should be replaced with permanent connectors prior to installation. 5.2.2 Open loop Installation & Wiring Diagram Connecting the PP-30 in an open loop requires the use of a feed through connector at the vacuum chamber wall. Match wire colors when passing the PP- 30 motor cable through the feed through connector. Temporary test connectors are standard. Requires customer supplied feed through connector 12
5.2.3 Closed Loop/Encoder Installation & Wiring Diagram Closed loop installation of the PP-30 stage in vacuum environments requires an intermediate feed through connector at the vacuum chamber wall that can accommodate both the motor cable, and the encoder cable. See Section 5.1.2, if connecting to the PMC-100 Controller. Important: Match wire colors when connecting the Encoder Head (vacuum side) to the Encoder Module (atmospheric side). Also, connect the shield of the Encoder Head to the shield of the Encoder Module through the feed through connector. Temporary test connectors are standard. Requires customer supplied feed through connector 13
5.3 Using the Encoder Module When connected in a closed loop, the Encoder Module should display two green LED s indicating a power source and proper encoder alignment. A Red or Yellow LED indicates misalignment of the Encoder Head, if this occurs contact MICRONIX USA. Do not manually adjust the Encoder Head or scale. For more information refer to MicroE Systems Mercury Encoders. 5.3.1 Encoder Module Overview Proper Alignment LED (Green) 15 pin D-sub Connector Improved Alignment LED (Yellow) Improper Alignment LED (Red) Power/Calibration Indicator 5.3.2 Encoder Module Pinout Pin Description Pin Description 1 Reserved 9 B- 2 Transmit** 10 B+ 3 Receive** 11 Alarm** 4 A- 12 +5V 5 A+ 13 Ground 6 Reserved 14 Index + 7 Reserved 15 Index - 8 Reserved *Note: Proprietary pins reserved for manufacturer programming, not required to be connected to controller. 14

Supplementary Information 7.1 Units And Conventions All measurements in this document are in the metric system of units. 7.2 Personal Safety Metric Unit English Unit 1 millimeter 0.0394 inches 1 micron 0.0000394 inches 1 Newton 0.2248 lbs 1 Newton-meter 8.85 n-lbs The PP-30 linear stage is a delicate mechanical device and should be handled with care. Do not drop or mishandle the stage. Keep hands clear of all moving parts while the stage is in motion to avoid personal injury. Do not touch the motor and shaft, as this will contaminate the lubrication and jeopardize the longevity of the stage. Follow the Safe Operating Environment requirements and use proper cable management to ensure a clean and safe operating environment. Allow for easy access to the stage in case of servicing. 7.3 Maintenance The PP-30 series of linear stages utilizes a maintenance free design. Do not modify the stage or perform any maintenance unless specifically instructed to do so by MICRONIX USA personal. If the stage is not performing up to the original specifications, please contact MICRONIX USA. 7.4 Accessories 430191 Adapter Base Plate, Table, PP-30 Used for mounting to an optical table with 1 or 25mm square hole patterns 18
