INITIAL SETUP
Step 1
Connect the tool cable to the Tool Connection (Figure 3, pg. 4). The cable consists of a male pinset
housed in a molded connection with a notch or a 26 - Pin male connector with two opposing locating pins.
Align the notch of the tool cable with the notch of the connector or the male and female locating - pins
and insert the cable. Next, securely thread the connector cover to the controller body.
Step 2
Repeat the above process to connect the cable to the AcraDyne tool that will be used with the controller.
AcraDyne pistol - style tools manufactured prior to January 2011 are hard–wired on the tool side and re-
quire no additional connection.
Step 3
Plug the female end of the power cable into the Power Cable connection (Figure 2, pg. 4).
Step 4
Plug the male end of the power cable into the appropriate power source.
Due to the variety of 220V power outlets worldwide, the standard power cable plug - end provided with
the controller may need to be modified to connect to local 220V power outlets.
The iEC Controller is designed to work with either a 110V or 220V input supply. When operating a
3000 series tool on 120V, the maximum speed of the tool is ½ of its catalog speed. Since speed
parameters are set as a percentage of maximum, the actual speeds of these tools run on 110V
will be ½ of the speed run on 220V.
Step 5
Turn the controller on by rotating the Power Disconnect Switch (Figure 1, pg. 4), to the POWER ON
position, represented by the
I
symbol.
When an iEC with SCC code 2.0 and higher is powered on, three messages will be shown on the dis-
play:
SYS INIT - indicates the system is initializing
IEC “#.##” - indicates the firmware version that is operating in the controller
SERVO FIRMWARE (A or B) — indicates the firmware of the controller ’ s servo module
These messages are normal and will clear as the system finishes initializing.
