WARNINGS
Power Supply
The PEPS / PEPSVX controller does not use a universal power supply.
Country voltage setting The power entry module must be configured
for your countrys voltage as follows.
Remove the fuse access panel (Figure 10) on the PEPS controller.
Remove the small voltage selection card from the module.
Rotate the nylon tab to the correct voltage setting.
Re-insert the card into the power entry module.
Replace the cover. The nylon pin should protrude through a hole
in the cover labeled with your countrys voltage.
Power Cord Use only a UL/CSA/VDE marked mains power cord with
the PEPS controller. The power cord should have at least 0.75mm2 wire
(18 AWG), and include a PE ground. The cord should comply with all
local, regional and national standards for the country where the system is
to be used.
Controller Usage
The controller and its components are only to be used for its intended
purposes described in this manual. Any other usage could jeopardize
operator safety and cause possible injury.
Pneumatic Isolators
Great care should always be used when dealing with pneumatic isolators.
Floating a payload on pneumatic isolators can generate many pinch points.
One such pinch point is between the top of the fixed portion of the isolator,
and the bottom of the load disk supporting the payload (see Figure 11).

Adjustments
Center piston assembly over leg by
adjusting each screw as little as possible any one time.
Continue to rotate around table slightly adjusting each leg
until all have been optimized.

Troubleshooting
Problem: My system doesn't float.
Check power
1) Set DIP switch #5 to ON (right
position)
ZEROING ON LED:
ON indicates power is okay.
2) Set DIP switch #5 to OFF (left
position) once power status is
determined.
Air lines:
Ensure air lines are
correctly connected, dont have any
kinks or pinched restricting air flow.

Barometric pressure
Changes in barometric pressure can also
cause noise on a payload since the sealed chambers of the isolators
make them act like barometers.
Positioning noise
The table can see excess positioning noise.
These sources of noise are not controllable by PEPS, and must be
addressed at the source. The specification for PEPS was determined
in a sealed room with no air circulation system running.
Pitch and roll gains Increase the pitch and roll gains until they are
as high as they can be without the system oscillating. Though this
does hurt the tilt vibration transfer, tilt noise is normally very low in
most environments.

Set Integrators ON
Set switch 4 to the OFF position. The float height may change a little,
and final adjustments can be made to the sensors.
Switch 4 = OFF (integrators ON)
Switch 5 = OFF
Leveling time The time required for the payload to return to level
after a disturbance.
Set oscilloscope
Vertical direction............ v/div
Horizontal direction ....... 0.5 s/div.
Figure 12 below shows examples of the impulse response for
different gain settings.
Page 1
Press down lightly on the center of the payload, and you should see
a response on the scope.
Turn the gain down until the response looks like the left-hand curve
in figure 12 below.
