3 Installing the Hardware
You will set up the components of the ImageStation ZII hardware in the following order:
1. Cyborg chair
2. Monitor table
3. D-sized digitizer table with Altek digitizer controller
4. TDZ workstation base unit and keyboard
5. Monitor
6. Interface peripheral equipment module (PEM), two-handed controller, and cabling
7. Stereoscopic display subsystem
To connect the power cords and set the switches, refer to Chapter 4. Chapter 6 includes instructions
to install and customize the Altek driver.
Equipment Cautions
WARNING Do not sit or lean on the digitizer table during or after assembly. Failure to heed this warning
may result in equipment damage.
Note the following cautions when installing and using ImageStation ZII hardware:
u The digitizer table work surface is a non-load bearing surface. Damage to sensitive parts may
occur if used for purposes other than intended.
u The stereoscopic glasses are fragile. Handle them carefully. When not in use, store the glasses
in the box they came in or another suitable container.
u Do not immerse the stereoscopic glasses in water or other liquids. Consult the documentation
delivered with the glasses for more information on the care and cleaning of the glasses.
Assemble the Cyborg Chair
To assemble the Cyborg chair:
1. Remove the installation and assembly instructions from the packing box and review them.
2. Remove the Chair Base/Casters assembly from the packing box and place it on the floor with the
casters down.
3. Remove the Chair Seat/Arms assembly from the packing box.
4. Insert the Chair Seat/Arms assembly post into the center hole of the Chair Base/Casters
assembly. Apply firm, even pressure to seat the post into the Base/Caster assembly.
Assemble the Monitor Table
Remove the monitor table from the packing box. Refer to the documentation delivered with the KI
workstation furniture for detailed instructions for assembling the monitor table.

4
Assemble the Digitizer Table
To assemble the digitizer table:
1. Remove the digitizer table top assembly from the packing box. Remove all packing materials.
Place the table top assembly face down on a carpeted floor or on the packing materials.
2. Install the peripheral equipment module (PEM) bracket onto the underside of the digitizer table
top. Place the PEM bracket upside down with the open side of the PEM bracket facing away
from the table top. Install the four #5x 0.75-inch Phillips wood screws to mount the bracket to
the table top.
NOTE Position the angled side of the bracket toward the front of the digitizer table top.
3. Remove the digitizer stand from the packing box. Remove all packing materials and place the
digitizer stand on the digitizer table top.
4. Refer to the documentation delivered with the KI workstation furniture for instructions for
securing the digitizer stand to the digitizer table top.
5. Turn the assembled digitizer table upright.
6. Push the handle grommet into the opening for the height adjustment handle, and then install the
handle.
Install the Base Unit and Keyboard
Remove the TDZ workstation base unit and keyboard from their packing boxes. Refer to the TDZ
workstation’s hardware documentation for setup instructions.
Install the Monitor
WARNING The monitor is extremely heavy and could cause serious personal injury if dropped. Two
persons are required to lift and mount the monitor into place.
Remove the monitor from the packing box and place it on the monitor table.
Install the Interface PEM
The interface PEM is the electronics interface for the two-handed controller and the digitizer table.
To install the interface PEM:
1. Remove the interface PEM and its power cord from the packing box. Temporarily place the
interface PEM on top of the digitizer table in preparation for connecting the cables to the PEM.

To connect the cables:
1. Connect one end of an RS-232 cable to the port labeled RS-232 on the interface PEM. Connect
the other end of the cable to COM 2 port on the TDZ workstation base unit. Tighten the cable
screws.
2. Connect the 25-pin cable from the two-handed controller to the port labeled Hand Controller
(HC) on the interface PEM. Tighten the cable screws.
3. Connect one end of an RS-232 cable to the port labeled Tablet on the interface PEM. Tighten the
cable screws. The other end of this cable is attached in Step 5.
4. Slide the interface PEM into the PEM bracket mounted to the underside of the digitizer table.
Refer to the following figure.

NOTE Ensure that the cables extend to the back of the interface PEM. Verify that the front feet of the
interface PEM install into the holes provided in the PEM bracket. These holes provide a positive lock-
down to prevent unwanted movement of the interface PEM.
5. The Altek digitizer controller is pre-mounted on the underside of the table as shown in the
following figure. Connect the 15-pin to 9-pin Analog to Digital converter to the port labeled
Cursor on the Altek digitizer controller. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable from Tablet
of the Interface PEM (which you connected in step 3), to the 15-pin to 9-pin Analog to Digital
converter. Tighten the cable screws.

cable screws.
7. Connect the round DIN end of the cable from the AC adapter to the power cord receptacle on the
Altek digitizer controller.
8. Connect the interface PEM power cord to the AC power cord receptacle on the back of the
interface PEM.
Install the Stereoscopic Display Subsystem
The stereoscopic display subsystem lets you view three-dimensional computer generated images. It
consists of an infrared transmitter, a cable assembly, and stereoscopic glasses.
To install the stereoscopic display subsystem:
1. Place the infrared transmitter on top of the monitor and face the infrared disperser panel towards
the user. No special mounting is required.
2. Set the infrared transmitter switch to the High position.
