Precautions and Explanations
※Transport and storage:
Do not stack product package more than six layers;
Do not climb, stand on or place heavy stuff on the product package;
Do not pull the cable still connecting with machine to move product.
Forbid impact and scratch on the panel and display;
Prevent the product package from humidity, sun exposure, and rain.
※Open-box inspection:
Open the package to confirm the product to be purchased by you.
Check damages situation after transportation;
Confirm the integrity of parts comparing with the parts list or damages situation;
Contact our company promptly for discrepant models, shortage accessories, or transport damages.
※Wiring
Ensure the persons involved into wiring and inspecting are specialized staff;
Guarantee the product is grounded with less than 4Ω grounding resistance. Do not use neutral line (N) to substitute earth
wire.
Ensure grounding to be correct and solid, in order to avoid product failures or unexpected consequences;
Connect the surge absorption diodes to the product in the required direction, otherwise, the product will be damaged;
Ensure the power switch is OFF before inserting or removing plug, or disassembling chassis.
※Overhauling
Ensure the power is OFF before overhauling or components replacement;
Make sure to check failures after short circuit or overloading, and then restart the machine after troubleshooting
Do not allow to frequently connect and disconnect the power, and at least one minute interval between power-on and
power-off.
※Miscellaneous
Do not open housing without permission;
Keep power OFF if not in use for a long time;
Pay close attention to keep dust and ferrous powder away from control;
Fix freewheel diode on relay coil in parallel if non-solid state relay is used as output relay. Check whether power supply
meets the requirement to ensure not burning the control.
Install cooling fan if processing field is in high temperature, due to close relationship between service life of the control
and environmental temperature. Keep proper operative temperature range for the control: 0℃~ 60℃.
Avoid using the product in the overheating, humid, dusty, or corrosive environments;

ADTECH4 SeriesCNC Maintenance Manual
1. Foreword
CNC4 series numerical control system is economic embedded system developed byAdtech (Shenzhen)
Technology Co., Ltd. for lathes, milling machines and machining centers, where CNC4640 and 4940 are four
axes motion controllers, CNC4960 is six axes motion controller and CNC4620 is two axes motion controller.
Instructions and reading convention of the Manual
Before using this CNC system, please read this Manual carefully to operate properly.
Explanation of terms and reading conventions of this manual:
CNC4640 and CNC4620 are control systems with different axes but same hardware functions. M Series
applications for milling machines and L Series applications for lathes are developed on this platform. The
applications differ on functions and interfaces.
M series refers to a system for milling machine motion function. The interfaces and functions followed by
a 'M' or "M Series" note are dedicated for the software system of milling machines.
L series refers to a system for lathe motion function. The interfaces and functions followed by an 'L' or "L
Series" note are dedicated for the lathe software system.
"CNC system", "NC controller" and "CNC46XX" mentioned in this manual refer to CNC4640/4620;
"Note" indicates prompt for the operator in related operations or settings, or else it may cause operation
failure or an action cannot be executed.
