The system isolates highly sensitive instrumentation from low frequency vibration. The combination of low frequency active vibration cancellation and stability from the hard mount design will enable higher resolution for longer acquisition periods. Everstill K-400 is designed to support benchtop sized optical and scanning...

Step 1 Place K-400 system on a rigid flat surface using side handle inserts. The surface should be flat to within 1/8 inch (3 mm). Confirm that table surface is nominally level using a bubble level. Confirm table is rigid by bumping the side of the table with the side of your fist. If the table noticeably shakes then it may not be rigid enough to support an inertial active benchtop isolation system, or it may not operate optimally at a high gain setting. ....

Note: Always grasp power cord on the sliding collar when connecting or disconnecting on rear panel. Figure 3-5 Connect external power supply Step 4 Ensure power is OFF. Place, center and level equipment payload on top plate. Figure 3-6 Center and level equipment on top plate Load plate p/n 29-43240-01, (Optional) 400mm x 500mm x12mm, 21Kg When payload is less than 50 lb. (23Kg) then...

Figure 3-7 System automatically levels top plate a) System automatically levels top plate while level indicator flashes. Once top plate is level, indicator changes from flashing to solid. Leveling process may take up to 3 minutes at initial start-up. When system is restarted with the same payload this process may take only a few seconds. b) System then initiates start-up self-test and automatic...

Restart the K-400 when these conditions are corrected or eliminated. Alternatively, the Gainmatch setting is user selectable. If the Gainmatch indicator continues to flash (after start-up or at a later time) even after restarting several times, then press the button on the back to select the next lowest Gainmatch setting. No active gain, when no setting is illuminated and the isolator indicator is off, is also an option and may be required when using a very weak...
