6.1
Verify Installation
Physical Connections
Before turning on the controller and power chassis, make sure all cables from the robot to
the power chassis, the robot to the controller, and the controller to power chassis are
installed correctly. See Chapter 5 for installation instructions.
CAUTION: Ensure that all screws holding the amp modules and blank
panels in the power chassis are securely fastened. If they are loose, power
!
to the robot cannot be enabled.
If you have the Manual Control Pendant (MCP), check to see that it is plugged in on the
controller's external front panel.
Finally, make sure both the controller and power chassis are connected to the correct AC
power source. See the Adept MV Controller User's Guide for details about the controller 's
power requirements.

Turn On Controller and Power Chassis
After checking all physical connections, boot up the controller by turning the ON/OFF
switch to ON. The controller loads the V
C: drive. See the V
Next, turn the power chassis ON/OFF switch to ON. The power chassis will not power up
if the controller has not been turned on. The LOW VOLTS lights on the amp should be
green.
The lower three pairs of red LEDs on the front panel of the amp modules may come on in
a random pattern after the power switch is turned on. This does not indicate any problem.
Once you have enabled power, (see below) the red LEDs will all turn off.
6.3
Calibrate Robot
1. Before calibrating, make sure the robot is in a safe position within its envelope as
it may move suddenly when you calibrate. Make sure that the E-STOP (emer-
gency stop) light is off on the SIO module.
2. Type enable power at the dot prompt in the system's V
10–20 seconds the cursor appears next to the dot prompt in the V
HIGH VOLTS lights on the amp should be yellow. If any system faults occur, they
will be displayed on the monitor.
