Attaching The Pendant - Next Wave Automation CNC Shark HD4 Owner's Manual

Attaching the Pendant

Place the Controller Interface in a comfortable easy to access location and connect it to the CNC Shark
HD4 using the serial cable provided. The LCD Pendant gets its power from the Controller Interface so no
other power cords are needed. See image below.
Applying power to the Controller Interface.
•
Re-verify that all three axis drive cables are connected to their respective Controller Interface
leads.
•
You should arrange the drive motor cables, power cables, and USB cable in a manner that
minimizes overlap, even amongst cables of the same purpose. This will reduce any opportunity
for signal interference because of cables 'laying on top of each other'.
•
Plug the Shark HD4 Controller into a 120V AC wall outlet, power strip, or surge protector. Once
again, it is recommended that a power strip with an on/off switch is used.
•
You will also hear a slight bumping or clicking noise coming from each of the motors when
power is initially supplied. This noise is momentary, and will occur every time power is applied
to the Controller Interface.
