G120 Galvo Card

 The X and Y amplifiers have a twist control allowing the image to be slightly twisted to compensate for scanner mountings that a not exactly orthogonal. this can be disabled if not required.

The card has overposition detect and protection, if the scan angle is greater than 20 degrees then the output of the galvo drive will turned off. This prevents the galvo being damaged if the power stage fails or during set up the gain and damping controls are incorrectly adjusted causing oscillation. This protection is intended for use when a system is installed into a permanent venue ; if the card is for hire use then it may be desirable to disable this function to prevent the output shutting down at unintended times. When used in an installation the output of the controller diving the card must be set so that the card cannot be driven to the point that the protection will cut in.



CONNECTIONS



The power to the card comes from a centre tapped transformer with a maximum of 22-0-22 volt output. The two AC connections go to the two single winding connections and the 0V goes to the twin winding connection. The connectors are .25” push on crimp connectors ( use a shrouded type for prevention of accidental shorts ). The 0V connection is common to the signal ground pin on the input connector and may be used to ground the system. The two G120 connections are standard 15 way D series as fitted to the galvo’s. The shutter output is via a 2 pin .2” Molex type connector supplied with the card. The silk screen ident. on the board shows which is hot and ground. The connector for the servo should plug straight into the card as supplied note that the white lead should be on the same side as the ‘SIG’ label marked on the board.



The input connector should be wired as follows

1 signal ground 2 shutter 0v is off

3 Y + 4 Y-

5 X+ 6 X-

7 to SKT10 8 to SKT10

9 not used 10 not used

11 not used 12 servo A

13 servo B 14 not used

15 not used





If the X and Y inputs are not balanced ( single input connection for each) then the jumpers on J1 (X) and J3 (Y) should be moved to short the pins (this also shorts pins 4 and 6 on the D series to ground) and the inputs should use pins 3 and 5.

Use SW1 (X) and SW2 (Y) to get the scanning to appear the correct way round. As standard the twist control is supplied disabled, to enable use jumpers J2 (X) and J4 (Y) to short the pins. Changing between the two modes makes a slight adjustment to the tuning of the card so select before setting up the card.
