Introduction
1-4 3/97 ProMaster 2500 User Manual
Front Panel
—The front panel includes an alphanumeric keyboard for
text and data entry, and a 4-line, 160-character back-lit display for
communicating prompts to the operator. This panel is used primarily for
running diagnostics and invoking special handler/labeler firmware
commands. (Refer to page 1-11 for more detailed information.)
Output Tube Holders
—By default, the right tube holder (tube 1) accepts
all devices that have passed the programming/testing operation. The left
tube (tube 2) holds any devices that have not passed the system
programming and verify cycles.
Main Plate
—The primary surface on which the track, beam, and other
components described above are mounted. The system power supply and
controlling electronics boards are located in the base, under the main
plate. Two corner screws attach the hinged main plate to the base. With
these screws removed, the plate can be raised to allow access to service
the system electronics.
CAUTION: To prevent the main plate from accidentally falling shut, be
careful not to jar it when it is raised.
Ground Wrist Strap Connector
—The operator’s antistatic wrist strap is
inserted in this connector.
CAUTION: The devices being processed through the ProMaster 2500 and
components on the system’s circuit boards are static
sensitive and may be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). To help eliminate damage from ESD, operators and
service personnel should wear an antistatic wrist strap
while using the equipment. The wrist strap should be
connected to the grounding plug. It should contain a 1M ohm
(minimum value) to 10M ohm (maximum value) isolating
resistor.
Emergency Stop Button (E-stop)
—A red emergency stop button is
located below the disk drive on the right side of the front panel. Pressing
this button will shut off all input AC power to the 2500, immediately
stopping all handler movement and turning the programmer off. Devices
in the middle of the programming and labeling process (those in
programming module sockets and waiting in the middle track) will be in
an undefined state. All devices in the module sockets and tracks should
be removed from the 2500 and discarded. Power to the PC is not affected,
but TaskLink’s Job Status report statistics will not be accurate because the
information displayed on this screen includes devices that were in the
middle of the processing cycle when the power was turned off.
Remove all devices from the track sections and programming modules
before turning the power back on. To restore power, pull out on the red
E-stop button. The Task that was running when the button was pressed
must be restarted.
Air Pressure Adjustment Knobs
—High and low pressure can be
adjusted by using these knobs. High and low air pressure are used to
raise and lower the beam, pick up the device, assist devices into output
tubes, and clamp the programming module in place (see Figure 1-3).
