3.1 Transport and Unpacking
The specified storage conditions must be observed (see chapter Technical Data).
3.1.1 Transport
Despite the robust design of the unit, the components are sensitive to strong vibrations and impacts.
During transport, the unit should therefore be protected from excessive mechanical stress. Therefore,
please use the original packaging.
Danger of damage to the unit
If the device is transported in cold weather or is exposed to extreme variations in
Attention
Prior to operation, the unit must be allowed to slowly adjust to room temperature. Should condensation
occur, a delay time of approximately 12 hours must be allowed before the unit is switched on.
temperature, make sure that moisture (condensation) does not form on or inside the
device.
3.1.2 Unpacking
Proceed as follows to unpack the unit:
1. Remove packaging
2. Do not discard the original packaging. Keep it for future relocation
3. Check the delivery for completeness by comparing it with your order
4. Please keep the associated paperwork. It contains important information for handling the unit
5. Check the contents for visible shipping damage.
If you notice any shipping damage or inconsistencies between the contents and your order, you should
notify Beckhoff Service.

Installation
3.3 Connecting devices
The power supply plug must be withdrawn
Please read the documentation for the external devices prior to connecting them!
Attention
3.3.1 Mounting power supply connector
The connector for the power supply has a clamp. It will be installed with a screwdriver:
During thunderstorms, plug connector must neither be inserted nor removed!
When disconnecting a plug connector, always handle it at the plug. Do not pull the
cable!
2. 1. 3. 4.
1. Insert screwdriver into the left hole.
2. Plug bared cable into right hole.
3. Remove screwdriver.
4. The Cable is installed.
3.3.2 Connecting cables
The connections are documented in the section Product Description.
There are the following options when connecting the CU8006-0000:
• Connect the CU8006-0000 USB hub with the power supply and connect the USB type B port
before connecting the downstream ports.
• Only connect the USB type B port and the downstream ports. When operated without power
supply the total current of all 4 downstream ports must not exceed the maximum current at the
Industrial PC.
• Only connect the power supply of the CU8006-0000 USB hub and the downstream ports. Now
the CU8006-0000 can be used as USB power supply, e.g. for charging USB devices.
It is useful to connect the power supply first (via USB type B port and/ or 24 V DC), then connect the
downstream ports.
