Installation Steps

IMPORTANT

FourJaw Manufacturing Analytics Ltd is not responsible for any installation actions or omissions. These guidelines provide recommendations only and do not cover all aspects of electrical installation, which require the expertise of a qualified installer.

Each machine is different, and it is the installer's responsibility to ensure all actions are safe for the specific machine. The customer is solely responsible for selecting a competent installer.

FourJaw Manufacturing Analytics Ltd accepts no liability for product failure due to improper installation.

 

1. Turn on the Tablet

  • Open the tablet packaging and press the shorter side button to power it on.
  • The tablet is pre-configured with Samsung Knox and already connected to your Wi-Fi network.
  • The FourJaw WebApp will launch automatically once the tablet connects to Wi-Fi.

Note: The packaging may appear opened — this is normal. Each tablet is pre-set so it’s ready to use straight from the box.

 

2. Log In to the FourJaw WebApp

The FourJaw platform will load automatically, and the login credentials are pre-saved.

All tablets use a shared login:

  • Username: TabletLogin
  • PIN: 8-digit code (available in the platform’s settings page for future reference).

4. Find a Location for the Tablet Arm

Install the tablet mount close to the machine controller to give operators easy access to the FourJaw platform.

Unpack the mounting arm and tablet holder, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

NOTE: Ensure a 240V power socket is within reach to keep the tablet continuously charged. The tablet cannot be charged via the MachineLink USB ports.
