Hobby-Fab Controller
Please read this entire document before installing and using the all in one control box.
WARNINGS:
Do not connect the 110VAC power cable till all motors are connected.
Do not disconnect any stepper motors while the control box is powered.
Mount the box to something non-conductive. A
ground loop
can be created between the box and
machine if connectivity is allowed other than intended connections.
Do not place any electronics on top of the control box including 600w PSU/ESC, etc. The noise will
cause erratic behavior.
Do not open the control box, wires can be dislodged.
If the shipping box is severely damaged upon receipt please DO NOT PLUG THE BOX INTO A WALL
OUTLET. The box is internally grounded and fused for both AC and DC but your safety is top priority, a
damaged box should not be used. SMW3D, Hobby-Fab and related affiliates hold no responsibility for
damage to equipment or persons by using this product. Be safe, be smart, build!
CARE:
The control box is made of cold rolled steel and the early units have a black oxide coating. This is a
similar process to bluing a firearm. In the same sense the outer surface of the box can be protected in
the same manner. Using any type of firearm protectant or light oil will protect the box from rusting.
Avoid spraying the box with an aerosol, instead spray a rag and wipe the box down.
