Filter Inspection and Cleaning

The fan filter must be inspected at least once per month to check for dirt and dust
buildup. The fan filter is located behind the filter cover on the front of the
controller (see
cleaning the fan filter.

Compact Controller Installation

The Compact Controller includes an Adept PA-4 amplifier chassis. This chassis
supplies power to both the amplifiers and the MV-4 insert (described below). The
facility power requirements as well as fuse and fan filter information are given in
the robot instruction handbook for the robot system you have received. Please see
these manuals for details on electrical installation.

Adept MV-4 Insert Overview

The MV-4 insert is a four-slot chassis with an integrated power supply. It plugs
into the right two amplifier slots of a PA-4 amp chassis and receives its power
from an amplifier receptacle in the PA-4 chassis. When the left slots of the PA-4
chassis are loaded with amplifiers, the whole unit becomes a small self-contained
robot controller called the "Compact Controller". The Compact Controller can
control and power the Cobra series of robots and the Adept Modules line of
products.
The basic MV-4 insert configuration has the AWC board in slot one (the far right
slot rather than the far left slot as in other MV chassis) and a EJI board in slot 4,
the leftmost slot. The two middle slots are available for other boards such as DIO,
VGB, or EVI. Third-party boards may be installed in slot 3 (make sure you remove
the P2 jumpers before installing a board). See
on page 59.
The serial number of a MV-4 insert is printed on a label on its side and its front.
This is the number used for licensing and tracking the Compact Controller.
