Note: Use the system in a low-vibration environment. Excessive floor or acoustical vibration can negatively impact system performance. Although the base of the station includes a passive vibration isolation system, the expected vibration level for the operation of the OPAL-SD should be equal to or below the VC-A vibration criteria curve for best performances, especially for edge-coupling alignment. The velocity should be below 50 μm/s, when measured by the one-third octave bands of frequency over 8 to 80 Hz. At this level, vibrations are not perceptible. Else, contact us for more information on an active vibration damping system. a. The exact mass of the main system depends on the selected configuration. b. Use the system in a controlled environment. Environmental temperature variations will degrade performance.
