Connecting to the 8758 Hand Control Pad

The model 8758 hand control pad facilitates local (non-computer) control of positioners connected to 8743-
CL Picomotor controllers. It draws its electrical power from the Picomotor controller via USB interface
and, hence, does not require a separate power supply.
IMPORTANT: 8743-CL controller must run firmware version 2.2 (or later) to be compatible
with the 8758 Hand control pad.
NOTE: Read the 8758 User's Manual completely before connecting it to the 8743-CL controller.
The 8758 hand control pad connects directly to the 8743-CL controller's USB port. Therefore, only the
controller's Ethernet and RS-485 port will be available for computer interfacing, if needed.
