Nortech Systems XUSR User Manual

Perform the steps below to unpack the Adept SmartController, and optional Adept sDIO 
Expansion Module, optional Front Panel, and optional Manual Control Pendant (MCP). 
Then, see the later sections for information on mounting the equipment.

1. Remove the Adept SmartController and any optional sDIO from their boxes. 

Place them near the robot, or mount them in a rack. 

2. Remove the optional Front Panel from its box and set it on a flat surface near the 

Adept SmartController. 

3. Remove the optional MCP from its box and place it on a flat surface near the Front 

Panel.

If the controller needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation procedure. 
Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all safety notes used for 
installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your warranty.

When the SmartController and/or sDIO is installed, you must allow 10 mm at the back of 
the unit and 13 mm on the sides of the unit for proper air cooling. To facilitate installation, 
make sure that the factory installed CompactFlash Memory Card is in place within the 
SmartController prior to mounting it. This is crucial if you plan to mount it in a way that 
restricts access to the side of the unit, and thus to the CompactFlash Memory 
compartment (see the 

information).

The following mounting options are available for the SmartController:

• Rack

• Panel

• Table

In addition, the SmartController and sDIO can be stack mounted (one unit placed on top 
of another). See the sections below for information on mounting the SmartController; 

 for information on mounting the sDIO.

NOTE: To maintain compliance with EN 60204 in European installations, 
the mounting of the controller and all terminations at the controller must 
be performed in accordance with this standard.
