1.4 SCANLIFT Carriage and
Reservoir
Improper handling.
Equipment damage!
If you are pumping water, you must not remove
the plastic hose between SCANLIFT and Per-
spex tank.
The positioning device is screwed together with the
chamber cable holding device and the Perspex tank
to the triangle holder of SCANLIFT (refer also to
section 2). For mounting and handling of SCANLIFT
please refer to the user manual of SCANLIFT.
1.5 Control Unit and Control
Pendant
The MP3-PL system is operated via the control unit
and the control pendant.
The control unit (TBA CONTROL UNIT ) is an
interface that connects the MP3-PL water phantom
to the computer. It supplies the power for the step-
per motors and controls the detector movement.
The control pendant (TBA CONTROL PENDANT)
can be connected either to the control unit or to the
junction box (at the Perspex tank). The control pen-
dant indicates the detector coordinates A, B and C
and allows the detector to be moved at two different
speeds (10 mm/s and 50 mm/s). Additionally, the
limits for the detector movement, the null point in
the central beam and the reference points can be
determined via the control pendant. Please note
that some of the control pendant functions are
available only when it is directly connected to the
junction box at the Perspex tank (refer to the user
manual of the control unit and the control pendant).
Therefore it is recommended to connect the control
pendant to the junction box.
During adjustment work with the TBA CONTROL
PENDANT the TBA CONTROL UNIT can be
disturbed by a simultaneous communication
between the control unit and the COM-Server
via the RS232 interface or
with the control unit via the COM-Server via
the TCP/IP interface.
Disturbances are for instance that determining
the limits or switching the speed from FAST to
SLOW is not functioning properly.
In order to avoid disturbances during adjustment
work you have to disconnect the RS232 connec-
tion or the TCP/IP connection to the COM-
Server.
