RETROFIT OF POWERLINE CUTTER To retrofit the machine, perform the following steps. Warning: When working on machine all power should be locked out to the unit and preventative steps should be taken in regard to static electricity. This includes a wrist strap and rubber work mat. 1.
Remove the front cover off of the unit. This will expose the electrical system for the clamp/blade, and the main logic board.
2.
Remove the top cover from the machine. This will involve removing the keyboard/display box from the machine first, so that the cables can be disconnected. Note: If the display box is not removed from the unit before the top cover is removed the component will be damaged.
REMOVE KNOB ON EACH SIDE TO REMOVE UPPER COVER FROM UNIT
THE CONTROL BOX FOR THE UNIT SHOULD BE UNSCREWED AND UNCONNECTED FROM THE UNIT BEFORE THE TOP COVER IS REMOVED.
3.
Once the control box has been disconnected, remove the two thumbknobs that hold the upper cover on the unit. Be careful when removing the cover that there is no damage done to the display and keyboard cable.
4.
Depending on the age of the machine, there may be a round, gray cable wire- tied to the display cable. This is the cable for the ‘auto advance’sensor, and it needs to be separated from the display cable. I
Once separated, tape the ‘auto advance’ sensor cable to the frame of the machine as far away from the display and keyboard cable as possible. Once this has been done, inspect all cables and make sure that there are no signs of obvious damage. Replace if necessary. 5.
Once the cables have been routed, the cover for the machine can go back on. Be careful when reinstalling the cover that the display and keyboard cables for the unit do not get pinched/damaged by the cover.
6.
With cover in place, add the ferrites to the cable connections 1” before where they plug in to the main logic board. Installation is simple, simply sandwich the ferrites together, one on top, one on bottom, and then add the metal clips to hold them together. The cables should be unplugged from the board before they are installed. When plugging the cables back in make sure that the stripe on each cable is going to pin “1”on the logic board. If standing at the front of the machine, this means that the stripe for each one would be closest to you.
WHEN INSTALLING THE FERRITES MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS USE METAL CLIPS ON LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES TO HOLD FERRITES TOGETHER.
7.
Once the cable ferrites have been added to the connections that plug into The logic board they need to be added to the cables that plug into the control box. This happens in the same way. Add the ferrite for the display to the cable about 1” before it plugs in. Add the ferrite for the keyboard right before the two cables p lug in together.

WHEN PUTTING THE CONNECTION BACK ON FOR THE DISPLAY, MAKE SURE THAT THE STRIPE IS FACING DOWN.
8.
WHEN PUTTING THE CABLES TOGETHER FOR THE KEYBOARD, MAKE SURE THAT THEY GO STRIPE TO STRIPE.
Once ferrites are in place, reconnect the box to the machine, replace the Front cover. Plug in and test the machine for improvement. If no display There are several small mistakes that can occur that will prevent the unit from showing a display. A technician will usually find one of the following to be true:
A. B. C. D.
1 row of pins missed for the display cable. Get a look at the side of the connection, you can usually see the row if missed. Cable plugged in backwards. It should be stripe to stripe for the keyboard. The stripe faces down for the display. Damaged cable. Check the connections on the main board for similar issues. If all items have been thoroughly checked, check the fuse on the Main board. Check all fuses under the chassis of the machine. This concludes the retrofit of the unit. Should electrical problems continue, contact Technical Support at Martin Yale Industries, Inc. at 219563-0641.
