Electrical • Operate the MP-225 using 110-120 V AC, 60 Hz, or 220-240 V AC., 50 Hz line voltage. This instrument is designed for connection to a standard laboratory power outlet (Overvoltage Category II), and because it is a microprocessor--controlled device, it should be accorded the same system wiring precautions as any 'computer type' system.
Never touch any part of the micromanipulator electromechanical device while it is in operation and moving. Doing so can result in physical injury (e.g., fingers can be caught and pinched between the moving parts of the micromanipulator). MP-225 MOTORIZED MICROMANIPULATOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL – REV. 1.70 (20150316)
Failure to do this may result in damage to the motors. This instrument contains no user-serviceable components — do not open the instrument casing. This instrument should be serviced and repaired only by Sutter Instrument or an authorized Sutter Instrument servicing agent.

An extended version of Sutter Instrument’s rotary optical encoder (ROE) is the input device for the MP-225. The system provides for a synthetic 4th axis for diagonal advancement of the pipette; and up to 16 different angles can be configured. Speed and resolution of movement are easily selected with a multiple position thumbwheel, allowing fast/coarse movement and slow/ultra-fine movement in 10 increments.

Tightening the hex screw that threads from the side into each peg hole locks one axis to the next. The The MP-225 manipulator mechanical is set up for either right- or left-handed use. The handedness is determined when the system is ordered.
X-axis firmly onto the plate, and re-tighten the locking hex set screws. Figure 2-1. Position of locking setscrews on the front of the MP-225/M. The modular construction allows for some flexibility in the connections between axes. In addition, the 3 axes can be used separately or assembled in non-standard configurations.
If you intend to use the right angle adapter (2852RA) with your MP-225 in order to rotate the manipulator 90 degrees, please see “Instructions used in Special Installations Only” near the end of this manual. The rotary dovetail on the front of the MP-225 provides a mounting surface for most common headstages.

Diag/Norm: Pressing the “Diag/Norm” button will cause the green LED to light, indicating the MP-225 is in Diagonal mode. When in this mode, rotation of the Z-axis knob produces diagonal movement. A second press will put the MP-225 back into Normal mode. When in diagonal mode, the X and Y knobs remain active, allowing you to re-adjust the X and Y positioning of the pipette as you approach a cell in diagonal mode.
