12 ST-133/ST-133A Controller Manual Version 2.H

• System Dependent Interface Components:

Note: For convenience, in the following operating-procedure discussions, this

manual refers to a Pentium™ PC equipped with a PCI high-speed interface card and

using WinView/32 software. Nevertheless, the manual does apply as well to

operation with other computers and software. Interface components, as follows,

could be required.

• Intensified cameras would additionally require a high-voltage power supply

and/or gate pulser.

Note: The PI-MAX camera is an exception because its high-voltage pulsing

circuits are internal. It would, however, still require a PTG or DG535 Timing

Generator.

Grounding and Safety

The apparatus described in this manual is of Class I category as defined in IEC

Publication 348 (Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus). It is

designed for indoor operation only. Before turning on the controller, the ground prong of

the power cord plug must be properly connected to the ground connector of the wall

outlet. The wall outlet must have a third prong, or must be properly connected to an

adapter that complies with these safety requirements.

If the equipment is damaged, the protective grounding could be disconnected. Do not use

damaged equipment until its safety has been verified by authorized personnel.

Disconnecting the protective earth terminal, inside or outside the apparatus, or any

tampering with its operation is also prohibited.

Inspect the supplied power cord. If it is not compatible with the power socket, replace the

cord with one that has suitable connectors on both ends.

Replacement power cords or power plugs must have the same polarity as that of the

original ones to avoid hazard due to electrical shock.

Environmental Requirements

• Storage temperature -20°C to 55°C

• Operating environment 0°C to 30°C

• Operating temperature range over which specifications can be met is 18° C to 23° C

• Relative humidity ≤80% noncondensing.

Power Requirements

The ST-133 or ST-133A controller can operate from any one of four different nominal

line voltages: 100, 120, 220, or 240 V AC. The power consumption is nominally 300

watts and the line frequency can range from 47 to 63 Hz.

The plug on the line cord supplied with the controller should be compatible with the line-

voltage outlets in common use in the region to which the controller is shipped. If the line

cord plug should prove to be incompatible, a compatible plug should be installed, taking
