Conditions for installing the serial spindle connector panel
D The serial spindle connector panel does not have an enclosed structure.
So, install the serial spindle connector panel in an enclosed cabinet as
used for the CNC.
D Ground the case by using the case mounting screws of the serial
spindle connector panel.
D The serial spindle connector panel is light, so that it need not be
secured with screws. However, ensure that the serial spindle
connector panel does not contact other electrical circuits and thus
cause a short circuit. When securing the serial spindle connector panel
to the cabinet, for example, attach an L–shaped metal fitting as shown
below with a case mounting screw (M3) of the serial spindle connector
panel.
