7. Installing PlateCrane Stacks:
Note: Mishandling of plate stacks can result in misalignment.
Unpack and unwrap the input/output stacks
Mount the stacks onto the stack base by gently sliding them down onto the stack
guide blocks.
8. Installing Barcode Scanner:
If the Barcode Scanner option was purchased, position the scanner stand just
outside the outer edge of the plate magazines, so that a plate's label can be
scanned above the top of the stacks.
Secure the scanner platform to the scanner stand post, and run its RS-232 cable to
an available COM port on the host computer. Plug its 5-VDC power supply into a
nearby 120 VAC receptacle.
9. Unplugging Power and Communication Cables:
During service or moving the unit will have to have the power and
communication cable removed. To unplug the two cables perform the
following:
The Rear of the PlateCrane should be facing you (See figure 11)
Unplug the power cable by holding the power cable as close to the
PlateCrane as possible and pulling gently straight away from the
PlateCrane
Unplug the communication cable by loosening the two thumbscrews
that secure the cable to the PlateCrane then slowly pull the cable
straight away from the PlateCrane.
