Cold Start Procedure

Cold start procedure – Motion Lock switch cycling after power cut off

For safety reasons, and in strict compliance with the requirements of ISO 14118:2017 (E) concerning the prevention of unexpected start-up, the QS-210, QS-220, QS-V20, QS-CH2, and QS-S25 motion systems require one complete cycle of the Motion Lock switch whenever power is restored after being cut off.

Follow the steps below:

1. Verify that the motion platform is OFF – the power switch on the Power Cabinet is not backlit, and QubicManager displays an “Offline status”.

2. Turn the Power ON. The platform will not move.

3. Press the Motion Lock button – diode emits constant light. The platform will not move.

4. Turn the Motion Lock button counterclockwise – diode blinks.

5. The system will perform start-up calibration. Do not change the payload.

6. If the status displays “Parked/centered” or “Running” – the motion platform is ready for operation.

  • If the status displays “Parked/centered” – no need to perform a Cold start procedure, the platform is ready for operation.
  • If the platform was already powered ON while starting the QubicManager and status displays “Press and release Motion-Lock” – start from step 3.
  • If the Motion Lock was already engaged during start-up and the status displays “EMCY/Motion-Lock” – no need to cycle through the stages, start from step 4.
  • For the procedure to work, M10 controller must be powered on (via USB) – QubicManager does not have to be running.
