Caution
Be sure to read the following precautions before using the product.
■
This equipment is a precision optical instrument.
(a) Do not apply excessive vibration or impact.
(b) Do not store or operate in a dusty or wet environment, or at high temperature and humidity.
(c) Do not touch or scratch the opening of the LCOS-SLM. The LCOS-SLM may malfunction or change
its properties due to contact with the aperture or impact to the LCOS-SLM. Especially when
shipping, please make sure that there is no contact with the opening window.
(d) If by any chance you touch the opening window, wipe it lightly with an ethanol-containing gauze. In
addition, wipe with a dry cloth except for the opening window.
(e) There is a risk of damage or deterioration due to static electricity or surge voltage. Handle it with
extreme care.
■
Connect the connector properly and securely.
Connect the connectors correctly and securely. If you are not connected properly, LCOS-SLM may not
work correctly. Failure to do so could damage the LCOS-SLM controller and the customer's system. For
precautions on connecting the relay board to the FPC cable (flexible printed circuit board), see page 14
"Connecting/Removing Equipment". The warranty does not cover malfunctions caused by improper
connection.
■
Pay attention to the image output setting.
DVI control requires a DVI output (Personal computers (hereinafter referred to as PC), etc.). Set the
display properties as follows:
Type
X15213 Series
Screen size
1280
1024 (SXGA)
Refresh Rate
60 Hz
Colors
True Color (32 Bit)
■
About warm-up operation.
After the power is turned on, the power is turned on for approximately 20 seconds. During this time, the
LCOS-SLM does not run. The LCOS-SLM is also more stable after a 10 minute warm-up period.
■
Pay attention to the polarization of the incident light.
Pay attention to the polarization direction of the incident light. For details, see "Polarization direction of
the incident light" on page 21.
■
Pay attention to the amount of incident light.
The LCOS-SLM may be damaged if a very strong light is applied. If high-intensity or high-peak-power
lasers are used, contact our company for assistance. Note that damage caused by the addition of
incident light exceeding the light resistance intensity is not covered by the warranty.
■
Note the wavelength of the incident light.
Note the wavelength of the incident light. If the wavelength is not set at the time of shipment, the
reflectance or light resistance may decrease or the desired operation may not be obtained.
■
Do not block the ventilation vents on the LCOS-SLM controller.
Install the LCOS-SLM controller (controller) with an approximately 10 cm clearance around the air
cooling fan and ventilation holes. Closing the ventilation holes prevents the heat from diffusing inside
the controller, which may cause equipment failure or fire. Note that the warranty does not cover the
failure of the controller caused by closing the ventilation port.
