1.1. Remote control

The SC 110 can be remotely controlled in two different ways:

1. Via the back plane of the Dc 100 supply rack. By default, the SC 110 is not configured for remote control, unless the SC 110 is part of a laser system that includes a devices that is designed to control the SC 110, for example the Digilock. In order to enable the SC 110 for remote control, the position of jumpers or DIP switches (depending on the version / age of the SC 110) needs to be changed (see user manual).
2. SC 110 modules purchased 2006 or later also accept remote input through the external trigger BNC on the front panel. This feature is not documented in older manula revisons but the information can be made available on request.

Both options can be used simultaneously, so it is possible to remotley control the SC 100 from two independent sources.

1.2. Worn out potentiometers

Amplitude and offset potentiometer tend to wear out after a few years of frequent use. They can be replaced by experienced users. For the offset potentiometer we use:

• Vishay - Spectrol Modell 534 (E106.700) 10k

but any other potentiometer with the same specs should work.

The amplitude potentiometer is logarithmic and needs to be modified so that the shaft length is cut down to 6mm. The model number is:

• Piher - T16SHM04N-103B

The potentiometers can be supplied by TOPTICA on request, but one might find it more convenient and cheaper (international shipping costs) to obtain these parts from a local supplier.

In order to preseve the amplitude potentiometer we recommend to use the trigger cont./ext. switch in order to disable the scan.
