PD1D Piezo Inertia Drive Stage Chapter 4: Installation
Page 12 CTN017322-D02
4.2. Electrical Connections
CAUTION
The PD1D(/M) stage must be driven by a 2019 or newer version of Thorlabs KIM101 controller with
firmware revision 010004 or higher, or any version of the Thorlabs KIM001 controller.
Earlier versions of the KIM101 controller or those with older firmware will not function properly and
may cause failure of the stage and/or the controller. The previous-generation TIM101 controller is not
compatible.
The stage is shipped with a 1 m (3.3 ft) cable that is terminated in an SMC connector. Connect each axis of the
PD1D(/M) stage to each of the MOT (motor) terminals on the rear panel of the KIM101/KIM001 controller - see the
KIM101 controller manual for pin out details.
Before driving the PD1D(/M) stage using the KIM101/KIM001 controllers, the controller configuration must be set
correctly, since the KIM101/KIM001 controllers are configured by default to drive our PIA series piezo inertia
actuators. Using the joystick and menu button, select the “Set stage” option and change it from “PIA” to “PD(R)”,
then restart the KIM101/KIM001 controller. The display will show “Stage is PD(R)” and the configuration will be
changed to drive the PD1D(/M) stage. Alternatively, using Kinesis software with revision 1.14.19 or higher can also
be used to switch the configuration by chosing the stage type. See the KIM101 controller manual for additional front
panel configuration details.
CAUTION
The KIM101/KIM001 controller is configured by default to drive Thorlabs PIA series actuators. The
configuration must be changed to “PD(R)” before using the controller to drive the PD1D(/M) stage, or
else the stage may experience degraded performance or damage may be caused to either the
controller, the stage, or both.
Confirm the configuration has been switched to PD(R) stage before using the KIM101/KIM001
controller with the PD1D(/M) stage.
Thorlabs offers a 1.5 m extension cable (PAA101) and male adapter (T5026) to extend the drive cable
length to 2.5 m, see www.thorlabs.com.
Due to the capacitance of the cables, do not use cables longer than 2.5 m in total.
