Hooking up the Gantry and ST 500 Air Lines
Connecting the Board Cable
*Be VERY CAREFUL when connecting the large Board Cable. Align the
four in-line pins carefully before applying pressure to plug them in. If
forced in incorrectly, they WILL cause malfunction of the Wizard Mat
Cutting system.*
1. The Board Cable connects between the ECU (Electrical Control Unit) and the Gantry. The ECU is the black shoebox-sized
peripheral with a row of LEDs. Connect the large Board Cable (Fig A) to back of the ECU (Fig B) by aligning the four in-line
pins and turning the locking ring until it “seats itself” and locks into place.
2. Connect the other end of the Board Cable to the back of the Gantry in the same manner (Fig C).
3. Move the Gantry to the far right of the Board and back to make sure the Board Cable does NOT get caught on anything. If
the Board Cable is obstructed, this WILL affect your cuts.

plugged into the back of the Gantry.

Tool Kit, making sure not to crimp any of the Air Lines.
