Mounting

Warning
The safety of any system incorporating this equipment is the responsibility of the person performing the installation.
Caution
Although the module can tolerate up to 8kV of air discharge, it must be treated as ESD sensitive device. When
handling the device, anti-static precautions must be taken and suitable and discharge appliances must be worn.
When handling the stage, take care not to touch the wires to the motors.
Do not bend the wires over the motor spring as this affects the performance of the unit.
Do not allow the wires to contact other moving parts.
The ribbon cable connector is made of plastic and is not particularly robust. Do not use force when making
connections. Unnecessary or repeated plugging in and unplugging should be avoided or the connector may fail.
Do not move the stage by hand. Doing so will disorientate the motors and cause the unit to fail.
The recommended mounting orientation is vertically, with the motor at the bottom of the board as shown below:
J1 on the reverse side of the board is reserved for future use and is not mounted at this time.
