126 Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. H
To operate the MCP, put your left hand through the opening on the left-hand side of the
pendant and use your left thumb to operate the pendant speed bars. Use your right hand
for all the other function buttons. The various button groupings of the pendant are
reviewed in this section.
MCP-4
The MCP-4 has the same functionality as the MCP III, except that it has a 3-position enable
switch and a dual-channel E-Stop circuit. The 3-position enable switch provides
additional safety for the operator. See the following section for a description of the enable
switch.
3-Position Enable Switch
The 3-position enable switch on the MCP-4 works as follows (see Figure C-1):
Position 1 - switch is not pressed, high power cannot be enabled. (Switch is open.)
Position 2 - switch is pressed in to the middle position, high power can be enabled.
(Switch is closed.)
Position 3 - switch is pressed in past the middle position, high power is removed. (Switch
is open.)
