3. Remove the remaining components and locate them using the layout above as a guide. Some
users find it advantageous to set the SPM on the floor or atop a heavy concrete cinder block.
This will reduce vibrational noise which can affect scans. If a tripod vibration isolator or
similar mount will be used, locate it next to the table. All units are supplied with a round
vibration isolation pad to set the SPM on. This can be used between the SPM and table top or
floor to reduce vibrational noise.
Cabling
1. Before connecting cables, review the following precautions:
CAUTION: The NanoScope controller will overheat if the computer or controller
ventilation holes are blocked or if the controller is exposed to heat
from an outside source.
CAUTION: DO NOT power anything until all cables are connected and
double-checked. Power cords should be connected to their source
of power last.
CAUTION: Verify the power disconnection device is easily located.
CAUTION: DO NOT route cables through pinch-points or over sharp edges.
The table should be pulled away from walls so that cables will not
be pinched. The cable between the controller and SPM carries up
to 440V and must be protected from chaffing.
