4.3 Unpacking and handling

Care should be taken when unpacking and handling the equipment. A visual
inspection should be made to see that the equipment has not been damaged
during shipment and that all components and parts are present according to
the packing list.
A standard scope of supply for an AP35 system will include:
• Control unit with standard installation accessories.
• Junction unit (J300X, J300X-40, J3000X) and one 15 m (49') Robnet

• Optional equipment that may have been ordered for the installation.

4.4 Determine system configuration

It is important to become familiar with the configuration of the system prior
to beginning the installation. The AP35 Basic system is shown in Figure 4-1.
Pay particular attention to the junction unit/drive unit combinations on page
51 and the chart on page 11.
As many of the units are communicating on a common network (ROBNET),
with identical connectors, the installation is simplified. Try to mount the
units within the standard cable length supplied with each unit, if possible.
ROBNET Extension Cable (10m) is available from your distributor.
