Mounting the ZETA6104

Before you mount the ZETA6104

Make sure you have performed all the necessary configuration tasks that require accessing internal

components (DIP switches, potentiometers, and jumpers). You may be able to adjust DIP switches and

pots after mounting, if you allow access to the top of the ZETA6104 chassis.

• Select motor current (DIP switches). If you ordered a Zeta motor with your system and you intend to use series motor

winding, use the factory setting. If you need to change this setting, refer to page 5 for instructions.

• Select device address (DIP switches). If you are not connecting multiple ZETA6104 units in an RS-232C daisy chain or an

RS-485 multi-drop, use the factory setting. If you need to change this setting, refer to page 5 for instructions.

• Match the motor to the ZETA6104 (potentiometers). If you are content with the out-of-box performance of your motor,

use the factory setting. If you wish to optimize your motor's performance, use the procedure on page 22.

• Select serial communication method (jumpers & DIP switches). If you are using RS-232C to communicate with the

ZETA6104, use the factory settings. If you need to change these settings (i.e., for RS-422/485), refer to page 6 for

instructions.

Environmental

Considerations

Temperature. Operate the ZETA6104 in ambient temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and 122°F

(50°C). Provide a minimum of 1 inch of unrestricted air-flow space around the ZETA6104 chassis.

The ZETA6104 will shut itself down if its internal sensor reaches 131°F (55°C).

Humidity. Keep below 95%, non-condensing.

Airborne Contaminants, Liquids. Particulate contaminants, especially electrically conductive

material, such as metal shavings and grinding dust, can damage the ZETA6104 and the Zeta motor.

Do not allow liquids or fluids to come in contact with the ZETA6104 or its cables.
