Introduction
ProMaster 2500 User Manual 3/97 1-3
General Features
This section describes the major hardware components on the 2500. The
components are divided into three broad categories: external features,
features under the hood, and internal features.
Note: Illustrations in this manual show the ProMaster 2500 with an E-stop
button, hood interlock switch, labeler cover, and a modified hood with a
handle. Handlers with the dot matrix labeler installed do not have these
additional features.
External Features
The primary external features of the ProMaster 2500 are identified in
Figure 1-2.
Front of 2500 Disk Drive
—The disk drive is used to update the Mass Storage Module
with operating system commands and programming algorithms used by
the programming electronics.
Hood
—The hood covers devices as the beam transports them through
the system. Figure 1-2 shows the hood in its operating position (down).
The 2500 will not operate (except when running diagnostics) while the
hood is raised.
Note: A safety interlock switch under the hood prevents the 2500 from operating
when the hood is up. The hood must be lowered to the operating position
(shown in Figure 1-2) before the 2500 will process devices. Service
personnel are provided with a key that is inserted into the switch keyhole
and turned to activate the switch. This allows them to service the handler
and run diagnostics when the hood is raised. If a user lifts the hood while a
Task is running, all handler motion will be stopped, but the power to the
handler will remain on.
