Connecting AC Power to the Adept PA-4 Power Chassis
The Adept PA-4 power chassis provides amplified power signals to drive the module
motors in an AdeptModules system. The amplifier modules in the Adept PA-4 power
chassis receive control signals from the Adept MV controller. The amplifier modules then
provide the necessary current to drive various joint motors.
The Adept PA-4 power chassis is shipped from the factory configured for either 380-415
VAC or 200-240 VAC operation, depending on the sales order (refer to Table 2-10). A
voltage setting label is located on the front of the chassis below the circuit breaker. The
voltage setting is also shown on the ID label on the side of the chassis. Verify that the
setting matches facility power before installation. This chassis is designed for 3-phase
operation only.
If AC voltage needs to be changed from 380-415 VAC to 200-240 VAC, refer to page 63.
WARNING: Electrical hazard!
Verify that the voltage settings are correct before turning on power.
Operating the Adept PA-4 power chassis with incorrect voltage settings
can cause damage or injury.
