Unit Stops Motion - MaxFlight FS-VC Manual

Cockpit Leveling Setup
level. To level the platform correctly, lower all the way down, with tail cover
installed place a level on the center weldment. Move counterweight all the way
back to insure back is down solid on rear stand. Adjust rear stand top board until
the bubble in the level indicates level condition. Then adjust the front stand to
within a ¼ inch from the bottom of each side of the cockpit. Insure that the cross
bar in front is level by placing the level upon it. You may have to raise platform
slightly for this step.
Down Sensor
If this sticks or is not seen by the motion com program it will not reset the
encoders and programs back to default or zero. This will affect the next cycle
balancing procedure. See balancing procedures.
Fails to Raise Level in Pitch or Roll
Normally caused by the front/rear stand not adjusted correctly. See Cockpit Leveling
Setup. Can be weight imbalance not within 100 pounds side to side. If constant
could be loose encoder or faulty roll motor brake. If pitch usually caused by an
encoder.

Unit Stops Motion

Occupant Safety Switch
Located within the cockpit between both seats. Enables the occupants to signal
the operator that they want the ride to stop, lower and they want out. When pressed,
it will stop the ride motion, bring the platform to the HOME position, level in pitch
and roll facing forward to the stand. Operator clicks on STOP icon in program then
lowers the ride, occupants depart, and reset the switch and ride is ready for next
patrons. Sensor is normally OFF. Can be tested in Motion Client program.
Canopy Sensor
Canopy sensor activates by either canopy latch releasing, faulty switch, switch
wired wrong after repair, switch adjusted incorrectly, wiring or faulty rings. When
the switch activates it will stop all motion instantly, freeze the TV image. An alert
condition window will open on monitor. Operator must press the E-Stop on side of
console and begin the manual leveling and lowering procedure. Allow the patrons to
egress. Turn the program OFF and then back ON to test system for repeat failure.
Check the operation and adjustment by using the Motion Client program. Canopy
sensor must be functional for the ride to operate to the public.
4. Solid state relays that drive the reed relays could be faulty or not get
signal from interface/computer. Use diagrams at end of manual to
troubleshoot.
Pitch Encoder—test in Motion Client program
Pitch Brake—test by holding brake open manually while trying to
balance.
For the platform to balance correctly it must be installed correctly and
