Instructions

  1. If not done yet, use the short 100mm cable to connect the input and outputs of the laser head.
    1. Connect the docking station to the long 5m cable.
      1. You can now decide to use the cable cover or only cable ties, both methods are described here and illustrated in the pictures below.
        1. With the cable cover, insert it into the side slot on the left 3030 profile, open side up. Press the cable inside the cable cover (push hard to secure it firmly).
          1. With the cable tie, pass it through the two upper holes of the interface plate and tighten to secure the cable.
            1. Use another cable tie to attach all the cables together on the top of the Z-axis.
              If you already own a Pro or a Fab, you will have to open the cable chains and guide the laser cable through them, all the way to the control unit.
