4. Using both the top handle and bottom handle, pull the module straight out of the
chassis. Remove the module from the chassis and store it in a safe place.
CAUTION: To prevent amplifier modules from being exposed to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) while handling or storing them. Adept
recommends using an antistatic ground strap when handling modules.
Installing Amplifier Modules
1. Turn off the power chassis and the Adept MV controller.
2. If the slot has a blank panel installed, loosen the captive screws at the top and
bottom of the panel and remove it.
3. Verify that the intended slot for the module is ready to accept the module.
4. Align the module with the card guide slots at the top and bottom of the card cage.
Slide the module in slowly. Apply straight, forward pressure to the top and
bottom handles until it is firmly seated in the rear power connector and the face of
the module is flush with the other modules.
It should not be necessary to use excess pressure or force to engage the connector.
If the board does not properly connect with the rear power connector, remove the
module and inspect the connector and guide slots for possible damage or
obstructions.
5. Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the module.
WARNING: There is an interlock circuit that prevents enabling power if
the amp module screws are not tightened securely. This also applies to
any blank panel cover(s). There are dangerous voltages present inside the
power chassis; do not attempt to operate without blank panel cover(s)
installed in any unused slots.
2.20 Installing End-Effectors on AdeptModules
Providing an end-effector or other necessary tooling is the responsibility of the user. If
hazardous voltages are present at the end-effector, install a ground cable to the
end-effector. Mounting hole patterns can be found in AdeptModules Instruction Handbook,
Volume 2: Mechanical Assembly.
Connecting Compressed Air Supply to the AdeptModules (optional)
Some end-effectors may require compressed air (for example, pneumatic grippers); and
AdeptModules have built-in air lines for this use.
The user must supply all tubing and fittings to plumb the facility air supply to the
AdeptModules. The compressed air to the AdeptModules must meet the specifications
listed in section 2.1 on page 31.
