RECEIVING AND UNPACKING
Delta Tau products are thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment. When the
Brick Motion Controller is received, there are several steps that should be performed immediately:
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the
commercial carrier that delivered the drive.
2. Remove the control from the shipping container and remove all packing materials. Check all
shipping material for connector kits, documentation, diskettes, CD ROM, or other small pieces of
equipment. Be aware that some connector kits and other equipment pieces may be quite small and
can be accidentally discarded if care is not used when unpacking the equipment. The container and
packing materials may be retained for future shipment.
3. Verify that the part number of the unit received is the same as the part number listed on the purchase
order.
4. Inspect the unit for external physical damage that may have been sustained during shipment and
report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered the drive.
5. Electronic components in this product are design-hardened to reduce static sensitivity. However, use
proper procedures when handling the equipment.
6. If the Brick Motion Controller is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a
location that conforms to published storage humidity and temperature specifications stated in this
manual.

Note:
If Ethernet communications are used, Delta Tau Systems strongly recommends the
use of RJ45 CAT5e or better shielded cable.
Newer network cards have the Auto-MDIX feature that eliminates the need for
crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight cable is
detected during the auto-negotiation process.
For older network cards, one end of the link must perform media dependent
interface (MDI) crossover (MDIX), so that the transmitter on one end of the data
link is connected to the receiver on the other end of the data link (a crossover/patch
cable is typically used). If an RJ45 hub is used, then a regular straight cable should
be implemented.
Maximum length for Ethernet cable should not exceed 100m (330ft).
