CAUTION: Prior to operation, verify that the mains voltage is within the operating range of the equipment. Front Panel ets-lindgren.com EMCenter User Manual | 9 of 16 Power Button How long you press the power button determines which function is used: · ON/OFF (1 sec) o To power ON the EM8, press and hold the power button for one second until the LED ring around the button lights up in white. After a brief moment, the LED ring will begin flashing, indicating the booting process. Once the LED stops flashing and continues to burn steadily, the EM8 is now ready for use. o To power OFF the EM8, press and hold the power button one second until an audible beep is heard. After a brief pause, the LED ring will initiate flashing, signaling the shutdown process. Once the LED ceases flashing and turns off, the EM8 is fully powered down. · Reset IP addresses to default (10 secs) o While the EM8 is in normal operation, hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Release the button within two seconds after the two short audible beeps to initiate the reset of the IP addresses to their default values. o NOTE: It is important not to continuously press the button, as doing so will prevent the IP address reset. · Full Factory reset o In the event of lost credentials or the need for reconfiguration of the EM8, a reset to default settings is possible. Factory Reset includes default IP addresses, default software version, default password. o To perform a factory reset, follow these steps: 1. Begin by shutting down the EM8. 2. Turn off the mains power, wait for 20 seconds, and then turn the power back on. 3. Hold the power button for approximately 30 seconds. Release the button immediately after hearing two short audible beeps. 4. It's crucial not to keep pressing the button, as this will prevent the factory reset. Releasing the button within two seconds after the two beeps will execute the factory reset. ets-lindgren.com EMCenter User Manual | 10 of 16 LASER Button When the EM8 is equipped with plugin cards, including one or multiple plugin cards containing lasers, the LASER ON button takes on a critical role. Its primary function is to activate the lasers safely simultaneously on all installed plugin cards. To maintain safety standards, initiating the laser power in the plugin cards follows a twostep process: entering a designated 'laser code' and manually activating the lasers. · To activate the laser(s) in the EM8, follow these steps: 1. Press the `Laser ON' button on the front of the EM8 and hold it. 2. Five loud `beep' sounds should be heard. 3. On the fifth `beep,' the laser source is activated, and the red LED ring around the button lights up. 4. Release the `Laser ON' button. · This means that: o If the activation process is to be interrupted, release the `Start' button (before the fifth `beep'). The laser will not be activated. o If the activation process is interrupted (and released `Start' button by accident), the laser will not be activated. o The user is warned by an audible warning when the start button is pressed by accident (i.e., without the intention to activate the laser). · To deactivate the lasers, press the laser-on button once, and all lasers will be powered off. · NOTE: If an error occurs with one of the laser plugin cards, an audible beep will notify you. To resolve this error, simply press the laser on button briefly. This action will clear the error, and the plugin card will stop beeping. ets-lindgren.com EMCenter User Manual | 11 of 16 Back Panel Mains Plug the power supply cable into the mains inlet of the EM8, power the system by toggling the mains switch located beneath the mains inlet. Ethernet There is no display, so everything is controlled exclusively via the Ethernet connection. Therefore, an Ethernet cable must be connected to the rear of the EM8 and your network for proper functionality. · The box itself a LAN address to change the system settings. · Each slot can have its own LAN address and therefore be regarded as its own instrument. Interlock Plug The EM8 uses a hardware interlock plug (6,3mm ¼" stereo jack) which can be used as a safety interlock. The hardware interlock plug provides two floating contacts which require connection for certain plugin cards to operate. By default, the supplied interlock plug is shorted and must be inserted into the interlock input at the back side of the EM8. When a safety interlock is required in your system, please cut the RED wire, and connect the open ends to your interlock system. ets-lindgren.com EMCenter User Manual | 12 of 16 Network configuration The EM8 is factory configured with standard static Ethernet addresses: Slot number IP Address Port number EM8 system 192.168.1.200 80 Slot 1 192.168.1.201 27531 Slot 2 192.168.1.202 27531 Slot 3 192.168.1.203 27531 Slot 4 192.168.1.204 27531 Slot 5 192.168.1.205 27531 Slot 6 192.168.1.206 27531 Slot 7 192.168.1.207 27531 Slot 8 192.168.1.208 27531 Subnet address 255.255.255.0 - Remote Control To use the EMCenter remote commands, read the manual document 399342 EMCenter for examples and a full command list.
