The control unit on the machine front is linked to one of the computer's serial or USB ports. The
USB connection is achieved by a USB to serial converter cable that is included with the machine.
This comes with its own software drivers on CD, as explained later. You may use a 1:1 9pole Sub-
D cable instead and connect it to any of the computer's free COM ports. The actual port to be
used will be detected automatically by software.
The front panels of all control units have some status LEDs with the following meanings: POWER:
Supply voltage is present. HOME X, HOME Y, HOME Z: These LEDs give a visual control on the
state of the reference switches. They are all lit after a successful reference run. TOOL: On ma-
chines with automatic tool change this LED corresponds to the drill break detector and turns on
and back off if a drill was found to be OK.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the control units. The potentiometers on the PCBs are
factory set. Do not change.
Do not pull the plug while machine is under power. Switch off controller first and wait for potential
equalisation.

Set up
Put the machine onto a stable, even table and adjust the machine's 4 feet by turning them. A
stable desk and a proper setting are important to prevent vibrations etc.
MTC, ATC: Connect the one 25 pole and two 15 pole cables coming from the control unit. They
cannot be interchanged.
(ATC) Compressed air connection
The machine requires compressed air of at least 6 bar to open and close the spindle chuck. A
compressor is not included with the machine, but an air hose is. At the left rear of the machine
there is an air valve, as shown on the left side of the above picture. Connect the air hose´s free
end to that valve. The other end of the hose has a standard connector for compressed air outlets.
