Nanosurf easyScan 2 AFM Operating Instructions

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE EASYSCAN 2 AFM
> Connect the Break-out cable (Figure 1-1: Components (page 13), item 17) to the Signal
Out connector on the Controller (Figure 1-4: The easyScan 2 controller (page 17)).
In case of an upgrade, the Controller must be sent in to your local Nanosurf distributor for
installing the Signal Module S electronics inside the Controller.
2.1.4: Installing the Signal Module A and its Connector Box
To install the Signal Module A:
1 Connect one Signal Module cable (Figure 1-1: Components (page 13), item 19) to the
Signal Out connector on the Controller and to the Output connector on the Signal
Module A.
2 Connect the other Signal Module cable to the Signal In connector on the Controller
and to the Input connector on the Signal Module A.
In case of an upgrade, the Controller must be sent in to your local Nanosurf distributor for
installing the Signal Module A electronics in the Controller.
2.1.5: Installing the easyScan 2 AFM Scan Head
! WARNING
LASER RADIATION (650nm)
DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM
OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL
INSTRUMENTS (MAGNIFIERS)
CLASS 2M LASER PRODUCT
• Always close the DropStop before inspecting or mounting a cantilever, or before
inspecting the alignment chip, especially when using optical instruments (magnifiers)
for the inspection.
• Never remove the lens cover from the Scan Head (nor remove the built-in top view
and side view lenses from the lens cover itself), as this would remove the optical filters
that block back-reflected laser radiation and protect your eyes from laser damage.
Older Scan heads may contain lasers with 850 nm wavelength infrared light, and lower
optical power. These lasers have class 1 rating, which does not require special protection,
even when viewing the laser radiation directly with optical instruments. The wavelength
and laser class are indicated next to the serial number on the scan head (see Figure 1-3: Parts
of the Scan Head (page 16)).
