TECHNICAL DOCUMENT

2.1 PREPARE THE MACHINE

1. Power off the machine and the PathPilot controller.
a. Push in the Emergency Stop button on the operator box,
which removes power to motion control.
b. From the PathPilot interface, select Exit.
c. Turn the Main Disconnect switch to OFF on the side of the
electrical cabinet.
2. Close the enclosure doors.
NOTICE! This procedure requires you to drill four holes
into the enclosure. If the enclosure's right door is open,
there's a risk that you'll drill into it.
2.1.1 Remove the Right Side Window
To make it easier to install the mount arm, we recommend
removing the right side window from the enclosure. Loosen
the screws on the vertical window retainers, and slide the
window out of the right side panel. Set the window aside.
2.1.2 Remove the Operator Box
1. Remove the Emergency Stop cable from the operator box.
2. Remove the four screws that secure the operator box to the
machine stand using a 3 mm hex wrench.
Discard the operator box.
3. Put the four screws from the operator box back on to the
machine stand.
2.2 INSTALL THE MOUNT ARM
1. Find the drill template (provided), and cut it out along its
edges.
2. Find the operator console's mount arm.
3. Put the drill template on the mount arm's top bracket. Then,
verify that the holes on the bracket align with the holes on the
drill template. If they don't, trace the correct hole pattern on
to the drill template.
4. Align the drill template to the top of the enclosure and tape it
in place, as shown in the following image.
