Installation

Location and mounting

Rest the QC-300 on a flat, stable surface,

or bolt it to a stable surface from the bot-

tom using four 10/32 screws fastened in

the pattern shown at the right.

Power surge suppressor

Connect the QC-300 to power through a high-quality power surge suppressor. Surge suppressors limit the

amplitude of potentially damaging power line transients caused by electrical machinery or lightning. When

a surge suppressor is not used, power line transients can corrupt system memory or damage circuits.

Connecting axis encoders

Axis encoders are attached to interface connectors on

the rear of the QC-300. Many encoder interfaces are

available to match the wide variety of encoders that

can be used with the QC-300. The type of axis encoder

connectors will vary depending on the application. En-

coder inputs are specified as analog or TTL at the time

of purchase and cannot be changed in

the field.

1 Verify that the QC-300 is off.

2 Connect the axis encoders tightly

to their connectors. An axis label is pro-

vided near each connector. Do not overtighten

the connector screws.

Encoder input parameters must be configured later using the Encoder setup screen. Please refer to Chapter

10: Setup for details regarding encoder setup.
