supply voltages. Voltage “sag” is a reduction in voltage which occurs when high current draw causes a voltage
drop in the supply wiring which reduces voltage at the power plug and consequently reduces maximum attainable
tool speed under load. Fuses and breakers are also more likely to blow or trip under these conditions. To minimize
these effects, always connect the system to electric service that meets the recommended supply service ratings.

Please refer to the picutres of a plinth and mounting of the QB Expert Alpha controller on the next two pages.
Plinths connect to each other with four 10-32 machine screws through openings on the top and right side to
threaded openings on the bottom and left side. When mounting plinths are placed next to each other, the center-
to-center distance between the mounting holes in different plinths is 2” (50.8 mm). When mounting plinths are
place one above another, the center-to-center distance between the mounting holes in different plinths is 6”
(152.4 mm).
Install the QB Expert Alpha Controller either directly to the wall or to a plinth (part number 21E204300).
Fasteners through four mounting holes secure plinths to a wall or other surface. Plinths can be connected using
10-32 threaded holes on the bottom and left side and through holes on the top and right side.
Make sure the bolts of the barrel-latches [
5
] on the plinth are retracted. Place the lower flange of the QB Expert
Alpha controller [
1
] into the lip [
2
] on the plinth.
Align the slot [
3
] in the flange with the lower mounting-pin [
4
] on the plinth while placing. Rotate the top of the
controller back towards the plinth.
Place the openings on the upper flange of the controller [
6
] over the upper mounting pins [
7
] on the plinth.
Release the bolts on the barrel-latches [
5
] making sure the bolts enter the two barrels [
8
] on the controller.
Connect the QB Expert Alpha Controller to a power source.
Connect one end of the tool cable to the tool and the other end to the QB Expert Alpha controller and press the
power switch on the controller.
The controller displays a language list at the first boot up. Press the up/down arrows to select a language, then
press either NEXT from the interactive menu button or use the Toggle button to save the selection.
The controller next prompts for regional settings like Time Zone, Time and Date. Follow the prompts until the run
screen appears indicating the controller is ready for programming and operation.
