Chapter 2 – Basic Operation

WARNING

Use only a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the grounding by cutting off the grounding prong on the power cord, or by using a non-grounding adapter.

NOTE

The power supply module is designed to work with both 115 VAC (60 Hz) and with 230 VAC (50 Hz). A separate power cord is available for each application. In the U.S., units will be shipped with 115 VAC power cord unless otherwise specified.

WARNING

The back case top should not be removed while the machine is powered ON. Power

the machine OFF and unplug from the wall.

Powering on the Clarity

Make sure that the Clarity main power switch is in the OFF position. The side of the switch with the symbol 0 should be depressed.

Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power supply module. (Fig. 1.3)

Plug the other end of the AC power supply cord into a grounded outlet.

Plug the power supply module into the power socket on the rear connector bulkhead shown in Fig. 1.3.

At this time you can connect a serial cable for communications from the host computer to COM 1 or COM 2, 9-pin serial port on the rear bulkhead. This method will require the use of a null modem at either end of the serial cable.

Once the unit is properly plugged in, both at the machine and the wall, press the left side of the power switch (with the symbol l) to apply power to the Clarity. Within 6 to10 seconds, the display should become active and the mechanism should move to locate its home position.

Either of the two 9-pin serial ports on the rear bulkhead labeled COM 1 and COM 2 (may show up in the Interface tab as COM 5 and COM 6 respectively) can be used to set up serial communications.

Establishing Communications

At this time, you will want to set the communications to your lab software. From the Job Screen, press EXIT, then select Setup, and then select the Interface tab. Choose the VC Connection Method, and then set the Baud Rate and COM Port if you are using a serial
