Description:
The MC1000e-1 is a simple push-button controller with submicron positioning capability that is
compatible with our RSAi, 100cri, 200cri, 800 and 7000 series actuators, manipulators, and
stages.
The MC1000e-1 controller has two preset speed settings: rapid (1.7 mm/second) and medium
(300 μm/second). The third speed selector (slow) has a variable 330° potentiometer that
enables settings from high speed (50 μm/second) to low speed (2 μm/second). With the speed
selector set at the slowest settings consistent 0.2 μm moves are easily made by the simple
bump of an axis button. The controller uses encoder feedback from the motor to drive the
device. This encoder coupling enables the use of the DR1000 digital readout for repeated
positioning requirements.
The MC1000e-1 uses a universal switching power supply adapter as its source for clean DC
power. All cables are shielded and a central ground lug is located on the junction box to ensure
noise-free operation during sensitive electrophysiology experiments.

Installation:
CAUTION: MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTORS ARE SECURELY PLUGGED IN BEFORE POWER IS
TURNED ON. DO NOT REMOVE CONNECTORS WHILE POWER IS ON. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT AND PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.
To install the MC1000e-1, please refer to Figure 1: Interface or the supplied set up
instructions.
It is advised to place the controller away from the experiment area. Any liquid that may
come in contact with the controller can cause permanent damage to the system.
Attaching a ground wire to the ground lug supplied at the power jack on the top of the
controller, the users helps prevent damage from static shock and to ensure noise-free
operation while in use.
Interface:
Controller
The two push button switches located on the face of the controller are used to control
the motor drive in both the positive and negative direction.
Slow/Med/Rapid: This knob is used to change the speed of the motor drive. It has three
different speeds: slow, medium, and rapid.
The MC1000e-1 controller has two preset speed settings: rapid (1.7 mm/sec) and
medium (300 µm/sec).
Slow Range: The slow range knob is used during the slow speed of the Slow/Med/Rapid
knob. The Slow Range knob has a variable 330° potentiometer that enables settings
from high speed (50 µm/sec) to low speed (2 µm/sec). With the speed selector set at
the slowest settings, consistent 0.2 µm moves are made by a bump of the axis button.
Operation:
When the MC1000e-1 has been correctly installed, the user can begin use of the system. The
operation may be bench tested prior to installing the unit to an experiment.
When the user presses the right(forward move) or left(reverse move) button the motor drive
that is plugged into the 25 pin D-sub connector will move. The speed will be based on the
setting selected from the 3 position speed selection knob.

Switching Box
ABCD switching box allows control of one to four 4-axis micromanipulators by one controller.
The basis of the design is simple and requires only an extra controller junction box for each
added micromanipulator or motor drive group (up to four per group). Junction boxes must be
purchased separately.
Digital Readout
The DR1000 Digital Readout provides an accurate, highly visible display for axis position. The
digital readout may be installed on any of our e series controllers and is connected in series via
a double-sided connector between the controller junction box and the device D connector.
