Installation:
CAUTION: MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTORS ARE SECURELY PLUGGED IN BEFORE POWER IS
TURNED ON. DO NOT REMOVE CONNECTORS WHILE POWER IS ON. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT AND PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.
To install the MC1000e, please refer to Figure 1: Interface or the supplied set up
instructions. Supplied with the MC1000e are two ¼-20 screws that can be used to
secure the junction box to the work station. It is also possible to use cable ties (not
included) to mount the junction box.
It is advised to place the controller away from the experiment area. Any liquid that may
come in contact with the controller can cause permanent damage to the system. It is
also advised to add a ground wire onto the junction box and attach the free end of the
wire to a metal surface outside of the system. The lug to use is labeled by the electrical
symbol for “ground”:
