System Setup
Unpacking the System
During the unpacking, check the system components for possible signs of shipping
damage. If there are any, notify Princeton Instruments and file a claim with the carrier. If
damage is not apparent but camera or controller specifications cannot be achieved,
internal damage may have occurred in shipment. Please save the original packing
materials so you can safely ship the camera system to another location or return it to
Princeton Instruments for repairs if necessary.
Checking the Equipment and Parts Inventory
Confirm that you have all of the equipment and parts required to set up the system. A
complete PI-MTE system consists of:
Camera: PI-MTE
ST-133 Controller: Do not substitute any other controller for the controller supplied
with your system. The "System ID" number on the controller and camera serial
labels must match.
