MACHINE S TART U P

1. On the VF-0/1/2/3/4: before POWERING UP machine, remove the tie wrap that holds the flex tube

in place.

2. Loosen the four SHCS (three screws are in the table, and one is in the spindle head) holding the

shipping bracket under the spindle head, and remove the bracket.

3. With the main switch on the electrical panel set to ON, press and release POWER ON at the

upper left of the control panel. You will hear a click in the back of the machine and the fans will

energize. (If you dont hear these sounds, the machine is not getting power and, with all neces-

sary safety precautions, you should check the connections to the electrical panel.) After a few

seconds, the display will appear on the screen.

CAUTION! DO NOT press POWER UP/RESTART on the control panel while the shipping

bracket is under the spindle. Also, do not touch the X, Y, or Z buttons or the

jog handle while the shipping bracket is located under the spindle.

4. Press and release SETNG GRAPH. Then page down to the last page (press and release PAGE

DOWN several times). Cursor to Setting 53, JOG W/O ZERO RETURN (with the cursor down

key). Press and release the cursor right key and then press and release the WRITE key at the

extreme lower right of the control panel to turn this setting on. Turning on JOG W/O ZERO RE-

TURN bypasses the zero return interlock.

NOTE: This setting, like many others, resets to OFF when the machine is powered up.

This prevents the machine from operating until a zero return has been

executed  the machine control cannot determine position until it has been

set by a zero return routine. For this reason, it is important that you execute a

zero return immediately each time the machine is started for normal operation

BUT NOT FOR THIS START-UP ROUTINE.

5. Press and release the RESET button twice, or until you have no alarms, to turn the servos on.

(The message ALARM appears at the lower right of the screen if one or more alarms are in

effect.)
