Connect the USB cable from PRS Standard Control Box to the
computer
If you have not installed the ShopBot Control Software on the computer, do it now. This will
install the driver for the USB cable.
On many computers, there are multiple slots for the USB cable. Once you have decided on
the one you are going to use, always plug the ShopBot USB cable into the same slot. Plug
the USB cable into the USB port on your computer.
The USB cable provided is 10 feet long. If it is necessary to increase the length of the USB
cable, use a USB 2.0 hub at the junction between the cable sections. Using a cable longer
than 10 feet without a hub as a booster may result in loss of signal or increased electrical
interference.
The Remote Stop Switch
The Remote Stop Switch comes with a long cable so that the switch can be mounted in a
convenient location for your set up. Keep the remote stop switch away from devices that
have their own power source, such as the spindle or router, or a vacuum system.
Some ShopBotters carry the Remote Stop Switch with them as they move about their tool.
Others mount it on the tool.
Mounting the Switch
• Decide WHERE to mount the switch. One good spot for mounting is on the front side
of the X-Car, with the cable run to the back of the tool through the center of the
beam. Other possible locations are on the side of the table, at your computer station,
or on the wall near the ShopBot.
• Decide HOW you want to attach it. You may use mounting tape, Velcro, or screws.
If you use screws to mount the Remote Stop Switch:
• Open the box by removing the 4 screws on the front cover and insert the mounting
screws into the holes in the back of the box.
• Re-attach the cover and make sure that the screws are tightened all the way. If the
cover isn’t tightened completely, the switch may not work properly. The E-Stop
switch itself is designed to fit together only in the correct manner. However, if you
take it apart, make sure the screws are completely re-inserted and the top drawn
tight on the seal.
• Note that when the lid is fitted back on the box, the switch plungers must slide inside
the guide cylinder of the plunger mechanism.
