CAUTION: It is important that this machine be hooked up to the proper voltage and
polarity for your country. Use a Voltmeter to verify voltage and polarity. Should the
reading be any different from a normal reading or if you are unsure of what the
reading should be contact an electrician.
CAUTION: Different countries may have unique plug arrangements. Ensure that the
machine is properly grounded before operating.
CAUTION: The machine is a heavy item. Ensure that sufficient personnel are
available for lifting and transporting the machine. Use proper lifting procedures and
equipment.
CAUTION: The system components in this machine utilize static sensitive
components. Precautions for handling sensitive devices should be observed when

RoboCrib Setup
The AutoCrib unit is assembled and packed so that a minimum amount
of time is necessary for preparation to install it on location. The
following steps are recommended to insure correct unpacking.
1. Shipping Damage: Thoroughly inspect the exterior of the crate
and/or wrapping for damage, which may have occurred during
shipment.
Verify “TipNTell” is intact.
Note any damage or irregularities on shipping document.
Report any damage to delivering carrier and follow their
instructions.
2. Uncrate the machine.
Using a cordless drill with a #2 Phillips head bit, remove
screws on crate.
Retain the screws and crate in case there is damage to the
machine.
3. Use a forklift to place the RoboCrib and pallet near the final
location.
4. Undo the hold-down straps and lift the RoboCrib from the pallet with
the forklift frame.
Do not lift on the Main platter. It is important that the feet of
the forklift are completely inserted into the fork points.
Unwrap the unit and roll the RoboCrib to its final location.
Store the pallet and straps for possible future use.
Installation
1. Locate the keys attached to the keyboard plate by zip tie.
2. Unlock the Controller Access Door and the Computer Access
Door.
3. Remove the Logo Sign, pin-in-hex driver and leveling feet stored in
a box behind the computer. (The box will also contain a spare
door, network hub, CAT5 cables, and spare fasteners.) Install the
leveling feet.
Use a forklift to lift the RoboCrib off the ground.
Install feet into the threaded plates at each corner.
4. Place the RoboCrib in its final location and adjust the nuts, using a
¾” open-end wrench, to level the machine. Use a spirit level to
make sure the RoboCrib is level on each side. Lock the nuts in
place.
5. Install the Logo Sign on the Controller Access Door using the
screws provided.
6. Remove the Right Front wall panel using a 7/16 wrench to remove
the screws. Lift up on the panel to disengage the tabs located on
edges and pull out on the panel to remove it.

Attach Power and Network Services
1. Uncoil the power cord and route through the bottom or top of the
frame.
EXPORT SYSTEMS: Add correct power cord connector and UPS
system
2. Prepare the UPS battery backup provided with the system (except
export systems) by installing the battery as directed by the
instructions accompanying the UPS.
Attach the UPS to a grounded 120VAC outlet, power it on, and
let charge for 8 hours.
Ensure the Status Light is green. If the Status Light indicates
a different color, have an electrician re-certify the outlet before
attaching the RoboCrib.
Avoid using circuits that have loads or surges from adjacent
equipment.
3. Position the UPS so that the RoboCrib power cord can be
attached. Attach the cord to a battery-protected outlet on the UPS.
4. Route the CAT5 cable into the machine along the same path as
the power cord.
Attach the CAT5 cable from the NIC card (#4 on diagram)
located at the bottom of the computer to the LAN drop
provided by the customer (or to the Ethernet hub provided by
AutoCrib).
Once the connection has been made and the pc is started, the
two lights on the NIC should blink.
5. Turn the Main power switch on the Control Panel to ON. Verify the
light in the switch turns on.
6. Turn the Controller power switch ON. Verify the green “OK” LED is
blinking slowly, the pc turns on, and the monitor is working. The
system will automatically launch the RoboCrib software and will
prompt for calibration.
7. Close & lock the Computer Access Door.
DO NOT ALLOW ANY OTHER DEVICES TO BE ATTACHED TO
THE BATTERY PROTECTED SIDE OF THE UPS. If more devices
must be attached, do so in the surge-protected side only.

Check Platter Actuation
1. Test each motor clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) for
a few seconds.
Position the Direction switch in either the CW or CCW position.
Then, activate the Motor Switch.
Observe proper rotation. Then, reverse the Direction switch
and test again.
As each Motor switch is actuated, the appropriate platter
should turn, and the sensor lights should blink. While testing
each motor, please note how the platters should react to the
movement. See the appendix for a drawing of the motors,
platters, and bins.
2. Test the door baffle by positioning the Direction switch in either the
CW or CCW position and actuating the Baffle switch.
Main: Main Platter –the entire internal array
