Cable Installation
The extra VJI module and two amplifier modules require additional cables that are
shipped with the system. It is important to keep the cables organized and prevent cables
from being interchanged by mistake. The table below shows a typical arrangement for
cable assignments.

Make sure to clearly label or mark the cables so it will be obvious which robot they belong
to, in case the cables have to be disconnected and re-installed.

Operation with the Manual Control Pendant (MCP)
The optional MCP can be used to control either robot in a Dual Adept 550 robot system.
By default, the MCP controls robot 1. To switch to robot 2, press the DEV/F3 button on the
MCP. The DEV LED turns on in this condition.
To switch back to robot 1, press the DEV/F3 button again. The DEV LED turns off.
See Section 4.5 for more information on using the MCP.
