•
Do secure your motors to a stable work surface.
•
Do keep loose items such as cables, hair, and clothing away from
motor shafts.
•
Do observe static-safe handling practices when handling the SC
Hub and Power Hub.
•
Do not "hot swap" power connectors (i.e. don't connect or
disconnect DC power connectors when the DC Bus Supply is
powered up). This will cause electrical arcing, carbon scoring, and
pitting of the terminals over time.
•
Do install a protective (finger-safe) guard (or other physical
barrier) around the motor shaft.

Important Software Installation Note
If your Windows installation is not up to date, ClearView may not run

access to a few specific Windows system files. If these files are not found,
Windows Update will attempt to install them. If Windows Update is
disabled, and/or you have no internet connection, this may fail.
If you install and attempt to run ClearView and see an error window like
the one shown above, close ClearView and install this update:
