Choose a location for the panel mounted USB plug. Its location should be chosen for convenient 
connection of a USB key during normal operation of the machine. Punch a hole in the desired 
location to the dimensions shown below. Insert the panel mount USB connector through the hole 
and secure with the attached nut.  Ensure that the gasket included with the kit is used to prevent 
contaminants from entering the enclosure.  The cap of the panel mount USB connector snaps 
onto the connector house.  (Note: the A side of the USB connector faces out of the pendant while
the square B side of the USB connector faces into the pendant). Connect the USB plug to the 
controller with the USB cable provided. 

Locate the serial port connector of the CNC. Attach one end of the CAT5 cable to the serial port 
connector of the USBCNC controller. Attach the other end to one of the DB25 connectors 
included with the kit. Both male and female connectors have been provided. Choose one as 
appropriate. In most cases, it is best to simply pull the serial connector in from its mounting 
assembly and connect inside the pendant as shown below.
