5.1 Status Panel Codes
The status panel display on the MB-60R/eMB-60R displays alpha-numeric codes that indicate
the operating status of the robot, including detailed fault codes. The chapter on MotionBlox-
60R gives definitions of the fault codes. These codes provide details for quickly isolating prob-
lems during troubleshooting. See Status Panel on page 36
For more information on status codes, go to the Adept Document Library on the Adept web
site, and in the Procedures, FAQs, and Troubleshooting section, look for the
Adept Status Code
Summary document.
5.2 Brakes
UL robots have an integrated brake-release switch located on the robot. On non-UL robots, you
can install a manual brake-release box. In both cases, you can release the brakes on a specific
axis.
WARNING : Secure the robot prior to releasing the brakes
on axes 2 or 3, to prevent injury to personnel or equipment
damage.
Installing and Using the Brake Release Box
This procedure describes how to install and use a manual brake release box on non-UL robots.
