Operator Level Diagnostic Tests for Producer™ III and IIIN

Calibrate the Carousel

This test measures the position of the carousel, as well as the gear-train backlash of the carousel.
1. Remove all discs from the carousel bins.
2. Make sure that the autoloader is in diagnostic mode. Refer to the
page 1.
3. Press the operator button three times and hold on the third press until the operator panel displays [03
CALIBRATE].
4. Release the operator button. The lift arm moves to the home position and the light on the operator button
flashes.
5. Move the lift arm to the top of the lift column.
6. Place one disc on the lift arm. Press the disc into the gripper while you press the disc release button.
7. Press the operator button. The carousel rotates and the lift arm lowers to bin 1.
8. Manually, slowly lower the lift arm and the disc
into the bin. The autoloader will not allow the disc
to move below about 0.25 inches from the top of
the carousel.
Note: The autoloader measures the position
of the carousel, and the operator panel
displays [CAL CAROUSEL POS O+00000
N+00000], where O+00000 is the old offset
value and N+00000 is the new offset value
based on the current position of the carousel.
9. Manually, slightly rotate the carousel so that the
distance between the edges of the carousel and
the edge of the disc is equal on all four points, as
shown.
Note: The edge of the disc should not touch
any part of the carousel. If you cannot center
the carousel in this step, the lift arm may need
to be readjusted.
10. Press the operator button.
•
The lift arm lowers and pins the disc into the bottom of bin 1 to measure the gear-train backlash of the
carousel.
Note: The operator panel displays [BACKLASH O+00000 N+00000], where O+00000 is the old offset
value and N+00000 is the new offset value based on the current position of the carousel adjusted for
backlash.
•
The lift arm releases the disc into bin 1.
•
The autoloader exits diagnostic test 3 and the system restarts.
Note: Diagnostic test 3 causes the autoloader to exit diagnostic mode. To continue the diagnostic tests,
