i. Minimum System Requirements
• 32-bit Windows® Operating System (XP, Vista, Windows 7)
• Open PCI Slot with room for Techno PCI Card (Will NOT work with PCI Express)
• Intel Pentium 4 Processor (Dual or Quad Core recommended)
Please Note:
1) If you use Windows® 7 or Vista you must turn off User Account
Control (UAC) before installing the software. (Details on how-to turn
off UAC: http://www.docs.technorouters.com/index.php?title=How_
to_turn_off_UAC)
2) We recommend using Windows® XP or newer. Microsoft no longer
supports Windows® 98, therefore it is harder to obtain the
appropriate Windows® patches and updates to run the new Techno
CNC Interface software successfully.
3) Additional information on Choosing a PC and System Requirements
can be found online at: http://www.docs.technorouters.com/index.

I. UNPACKING AND MACHINE IDENTIFICATIONS
All Techno machines are shipped assembled and secured to
a wooden pallet. If your machine was shipped disassembled
in any way please refer to the Reassembly Instructions
provided with your machine.
STEP 1:
Front of Machine
Unpack all items that shipped with your machine.
Check the items against the packing slip to
be sure nothing was left out. Notify Techno
immediately if you are missing any pieces of
your shipment.
WARNING:

PICTURE 1: Underside View of Machine
The machine is extremely heavy. Use caution
when lifting the machine.
Please note the four lifting handles on the sides of
the machine and the four adjustable leveling feet
on the underside of the machine, PICTURE 1 shows
both. You can also see the use of a forklift to raise
the machine out of its packing crate as well.
Patriots purchased with the optional stand will
have adjustable height casters at the bottom of
the stand’s legs.
STEP 2:
Raise the Patriot onto the table top it
will be operated on. If you need to
adjust the leveling feet follow the steps
below. If not continue to the next page.
STEP 3:
Determine whether or not the table top on which
you have the patriot setup on is level, and which
side of your machine will needs adjustments. All
four leveling feet will be installed before your
machine leaves Techno.
Rear of Machine
PICTURE 2: Leveling Foot Up close
PICTURE 3: Adjusting the Leveling Feet
· To adjust the leveling feet unscrew the
desired foot to the height needed,
unscrewing the leveling foot towards the
left will raise the height.
· Repeat for each leveling foot that needs to
be adjusted.

I. MACHINE IDENTIFICATIONS (cont.)
The Techno Patriot has a specially designed safety
interlocking mechanism to prevent the operation of the
machine without the interlock activated, or by use of the
teacher’s override key. This key will be zip-tied to the front
of your machine. Remove the zip-tie and keep in a safe
place.
There are two functions of Teacher’s Override Key:
·
Turning the Teacher’s Override Key to the left, will
unlock the door to the Patriot unconditionally. Once
this door is unlocked the spindle will turn off until
the door is closed again.
·
Turning the Teacher’s Override Key to the right, will
bypass the safety interlock mechanism and allow
the spindle to turn on even with the door open.
The updated Patriot CNC Routers now have a functional
USB Port on the front of the machine next to the E-Stop
Start/Stop Box. If you purchase a Patriot CNC Router with
the optional stand, you are able to place the computer
tower under the machine. If you purchase a Patriot CNC
Router without the stand you may still utilize the USB port,
however you would need to place the computer tower in
close proximity to the machine.
PICTURE 4: Teachers Override Key
PICTURE 5: Teacher’s Override Key
PICTURE 6: USB Port on the Machine
The USB Port acts as an extension cord for a USB stick and
the machines’ computer. By plugging the USB port wire
into the computer, at the same time you connect the SCSII
cable to the computer, you can then plug a USB stick into
the USB port on the front of the machine and the computer
will read the files.

APPENDIX A - COLLETING GUIDELINES

Web site: www.technocnc.com · E-mail: [email protected]
COLLETING GUIDELINES
WRONG!
RIGHT!
This picture shows an improper assembly.
Notice the gap and angle of the collet in
relation to the nut. The collet is not flush
to the end of the collet nut. Correct this
assembly before using.
The picture above is how your collet nut
assembly should look: the end of the collet
is flush with the bottom surface of the
collet nut. You will hear and feel a “SNAP”
as the collet properly goes into the collet
nut. Once it is assembled, then “SCREW”
the nut onto the threaded spindle end.
DO NOT PUSH
THE COLLET
INTO THE
SPINDLE AT
ANY TIME!
Only the proper
assembly should
be screwed onto
the spindle.
FOR TOOLCHANGE AND
FIXED COLLET SPINDLES:
ONLY USE TOOLHOLDERS, COLLET
NUTS AND TOOLS THAT ARE
BALANCED TO MEET OR EXCEED THE
MAX RATED SPEED OF THE SPINDLE.
THE SPINDLE WILL BE DAMAGED IF UNBALANCED EQUIPMENT
IS USED! ALL AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE SPINDLES REQUIRE
FILTERED DRY AIR. THIS MIGHT REQUIRE THE ADDITION OF A
WATER REMOVAL SYSTEM TO YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR.
SUPPLYING WATER SATURATED AIR TO THE ATC SPINDLE WILL
RESULT IN DAMAGE THAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
