CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION
Introduction
This chapter introduces the user to the installation and features ofthe Parata ATP-71
hardware. This chapter covers the following topics:
•Operating Guidelines
•The ATP-71 Cabinet
•Positioning the cabinet
•Connecting the devices
•General warnings and cautions
Operating Guidelines
The ATP-71 device must be operated in a temperature range of 59-82 °F (15-28 °C) with a relative
humidity between 20 – 70%.
Warning: Using this equipment in any manner not specified by the
manufacturer may result in the device protections being impaired.
Warning: The ATP-71 device weights nearly 300 pounds (149kilogams). Do
Not attempt to lift the device without sufficient assistance and support.
Warning: If the ATP-71 device has not yet been secured to the wall, do not
pull all the drawers out at one time or lean on the lower drawer when it is
open, as this can cause the cabinet to tip forward.

The ATP-71 device is designed to be operated under the following conditions:
•In an indoor environment
•At an altitude up to 6,563 feet (2000 meters)
•Using a main power supply; supplying voltage that does not exceed 115 VAC +/- 10%, 60 Hz,
<9.0 amperes, with transient overvoltage in accordance with UL Installation Categories
(Overvoltage Categories) II.
•Consistent with pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 664
The ATP-71 Cabinet
The exterior of the ATP-71 cabinet is shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Hardware Cabinet exterior
The interior of the ATP-71 cabinet is shown in Figure 1-2.

Positioning the Cabinet
Please observe the following precautions when determining where to locate the ATP-71:
•The ATP-71 is for indoor use only.
•Choose a cool, dry location that is conducive to the storage of medication.
•Choose a location near the intended power outlet; the outlet must remain accessible in the
event the device must be unplugged in an emergency.
•Avoid direct sunlight.
•Avoid dusty locations.
•Ensure that the floor surface is level, stable, and even.
•Avoid damp locations.
•Avoid extremely dry locations.
•Do not install the ATP-71 near water pipes or sinks.
•Do not install the ATP-71 near heaters, stoves, or other sources of heat.
•Avoid installing near sources of magnetic fields.
•Do not install near televisions or radios.
•Leave a space of at least four inches (10 centimeters) between the back of the ATP-71
cabinet and the wall behind it, to allow proper operation of the ATP-71’s cooling fan.
•Install in an environment where temperatures will range between 59 and 82 degrees
Fahrenheit (15 - 28 degrees Centigrade), with a relative humidity between 20 - 70%.
The ATP-71 cabinet should be positioned as shown in Figure 1-3.

Caution: Cabinets cannot be stacked.
The cabinet should be placed on a sturdy, level surface such as a counter or table, within 10
centimeters (3.9 inches) of the wall.
Please allow at least 65 centimeters (25 inches) of space in front of the cabinet so the doors
may be opened freely.
Connecting the Devices
Connecting to a Power Source
Plug the PC and ATP-71’s power cord into an electrical outlet that is easily accessible from the
intended operating location.
Warning: Do Not use a three-prong to two-prong adapter. Do not use an
extension cord if the intended outlet is too far from the intended location.
Move the device so that it is closer to the outlet or have another electrical
outlet installed.
If an appropriate electrical outlet is not available, contact a licensed electrical contractor for
assistance.
Powering Up the Device
To power up the ATP-71 device once all connections have been made, locate the power switch
inside the lower (packaging) drawer on the right side, as shown in Figure 1-14.

General Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Failure to observe these and any other warnings contained in
this manual may result in hazards causing serious injury or death.
•This system cannot dothe jobofa registered pharmacist. An appropriate quality
checking system should be used to ensure dispensing accuracy.
•Use only parts andsupplies approved by Parata isnot responsible for any quality
problems resulting from parts and/or supplies not approved by Parata.
•Do not usethe ATP-71system outdoors. Current leakage or electric shock may result if
the system isexposed to water.
•Only qualified service personnel should install and service the ATP-71system. Installation
and service by unqualified personnel may result inshock orfire.
•Never locate the ATP-71system in a humid place or a place where it is likely to be
splashed by water. Humidity may cause the insulation to deteriorate, causing current
leakage andpossible electric shock.
•Usea power source rated for a minimum of 15A. Ensure that both the plug andthe
outlet are free ofdust. Do not use a branched outlet, asthis may result inan increased
risk of fire.
•In the event of operational problems, disconnect the ATP-71 from its power source until
it can beserviced byqualified personnel.
•Always disconnect the ATP-71from its power source prior to performing any
maintenance orrepair service toprevent serious injury or death.
•Use a power supply ground.
•Never disassemble, repair, ormodify the ATP-71system. Unauthorized modifications
may result in serious injury or death.
•Never ground the ATP-71system to a gas pipe, water main, telephone line, or lightning
rod. Such grounding may cause serious injury ordeath if an incomplete circuit is formed.
•Do not insert metal objects into any vent, gap. Oroutlet outside orinside the ATP-71
cabinet, as this may cause serious injury or death.
•Never insert fingers orobjects into the package output port, asthis may cause serious
injury during system operation.
•Never touch the gold-colored heater blocks inside theATP-71packaging drawer,
regardless of whether the system is off-line or online.
•Never touch the blade orheater block in the heat sealer when replacing the paper roll or
cleaning the system.
•Use ATP-71tablet canisters only with their designated medication.
•Be sure to verify that the correct medication is used when refilling canisters.
•Never touch electrical components orswitches with wet hands, asthis may result in
serious injury ordeath.

•Select a level and sturdy floor surface for the ATP-71, and use an appropriate anti-tipping
device.
•Do not open multiple drawers at the same time, as this may cause the ATP-71 to topple
forward.
•When unplugging the ATP-71 from its power source, grip the plug, not the cord. Pulling
the power cord may result in electric shock or fire caused by a short circuit.
•Always disconnect the power cord from its power source before moving the system, and
take care not to damage the power cord.
•Disconnect the power cord from its power source if the system will be unused for long
periods of time.
•Do not place heavy objects on top of the ATP-71 cabinet.
•Do not place containers of water on top of the ATP-71 cabinet.
•Do not stand or sit on the top of the ATP-71 cabinet.
•Do not lean on the ATP-71 cabinet when any of the drawers are open.
•Take care when cleaning the interior of the ATP-71 not to inhale pill dust.
•Take care when cleaning the interior of the ATP-71 not to contaminate sensitive machine
surfaces with pill dust.
•Do not insert fingers or tools into the UTC tray when it is operating.
Caution: Failure to observe these and any other cautions contained in
this manual may result in injury to personnel or damage to the ATP-
71 and associated property.
