After configuring the Mach, these steps should be followed. 
 

Step 1.  

Ensure that all external power sources are set to 

OFF. 

 

  

Step 2.

 Connect the power supply to the Power Inputs Connectors (X1). 

 

Step 3. 

Turn on the external supplies 

Step 4.

 Connect a voltmeter in the analog outputs connectors (X2) and make and 

fine tune this output: 

Make  sure  that  when  you  reach  the  max 
speed in the control software you get 10VDC 
out  (X2).    This  voltage  can  vary  depending 
on  many  things,  including  the  electrical 
properties  of  parallel  port  or  breakout  board 
you  are  using,  the  length  of  the  step  pulse 
your software is delivering, and the normal hi 
or  low  status  of  your  step  pin.  Play  with  the 
pot, hi/low status of the pin, and pulse length 
to fine tune the output voltage. 

 
 
 

6.3  Electromechanical relays.  (pins 1 and 16) 

Mechanical  relays  are  very  flexible  because  they  can  be  used  for  AC  or  DC  and 
come with NO and NC (Normally Open and Normally Closed) positions. Relay are 
independents, one reacts to Pin 1 and the other one to Pin16 and that both can be 
used at the same time. The relay specification are showed in the below table. 
 

ELECTROMECHANICAL RELAYS SPECIFICACTIONS 

Maximun Current (AC) 

7A@240VAC; 10A@125VAC
