The Threaded Lead Screw (4) then rotates CCW and returns to its original position. This is shown in
Figure 5-8 "Unlocked position" on page 5-19.
When the Operator Panel moves into locked position a micro switch (1) is activated.
The micro switch activation is used by the Motor Controller to detect when the Operator Panel is in
locked position.
The XY (frogleg) brakes will stay ON if the VIVID E9 is powered down when the Operator Panel is
locked. This enables release of the Park Lock, initiated by the micro switches on the Front Handle of the
Operator Panel.
