C. Carefully, tilt the table sideways in order to see the underneath
of the table. Note the controller electronics with a separate
driver card in later models and one single board design in the
earlier models.
D. Note that there are four different connectors (so far we have
noticed red color small connectors) coming down from
underneath the table and connecting on to the driver part of the
board.
E. Three identical connectors are for the X, Y, and the Z axis step
motors. Usually, there are labels on the cables. Disconnect the
connectors from the driver board. Also, note a 8 pin connector
for the limit switches. Disconnect it too.
F. Note a larger 3 pin connector in the back of the table going
from the spindle motor to the power distribution board in the
back. Disconnect this connector. You should be able to lift and
set aside the table at this point.
G. You have two choices at this point. Remove all the electronics
that you see in the unit. This includes the small 4 inch monitor,
logic board, driver board if separate, power supply, power
distribution unit, keyboard, etc. If you wish, you can sell it all
as spare parts for others. The other choice is to leave every
thing alone inside the unit.
H. Note that the cable harness under the table is held in place by
plastic ties. Remove some of the ties to stretch and extend the
cables to the back of the unit and extending outside the unit.
J. Match and connect the connectors from the table to the
interface cable provided by Solustan.
K. X axis to X axis, Y axis to Y axis, Z axis to Z axis, limit
switch to limit switch connectors. The male and the female
connectors have locking lips to hold the two parts together.
Make sure and connect them properly.
L. Connect the matching 3 pin connector to the spindle motor
connector on the table and the other end of the power cable to
the switched outlet in the back of the MaxAmp module.
M. Here is an important connection to observe: It is important to
connect the metal of the table to the ground wire from the
MaxAmp module. The ground wire is a green wire, part of the
interface cable, with a metal lug. Note a big green wire
attached to the table in the back. The ground wire can be
connected right there.
