test the equipment after have made the electrical connections using the cables supplied:

- remote I/O and Control Unit

2. Plug the power cord on a socket to power on the equipment.
3. Push on the START button of the remote I/O. Being the Marking Unit equipped with back-up
battery that keep the last factory test data, the needle should move according to this stored

Control Unit using a serial cable.
