PROCEDURE
6-1
Check lift movement
1. With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four sets of lift up/down control but-
tons are operational (check each button for up and down movement of lift).
2. Move arm to its upper and lower limits. Software limits should stop movement. If the software limits
fail, optical sensors are used to recognize and stop any movement before impact with mechanical
stops.Total one-way movement time (going either up or down) between upper and lower limits should
be 8 ±2 seconds.
3. Lift movement should be smooth and progressive; check for any noise which might indicate exces-
sive friction or binding.
6-2
Check Arm Rotation
1. With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four arm rotation control buttons are
operational.
For each button, check that light or firm pressure gives the correct rotation, and that rotation stops
when the pressure is released. Refer to
Keypad Functional Checks on page
2. Rotate the arm through its full range of +185°/-165°. Check in several positions that the electrical
braking is functioning correctly, by pulling on the handles.
