Y Motion Sensor Test
Use the Y Motion Sensor test to verify functional-
ity of the “Y” stitch regulator encoder (the encoder
mounted to the rear power pod side machine wheel).
As you slowly move the carriage toward and away
from you, you should hear a pulsing “beep” that puls-
es faster as you move faster. A solid beep, no beep, or
periods of irregular beeping (with constant motion)
indicate a problem with the “Y” encoder.
The most likely cause of a problem is a stitch regula-
tor wheel that is not making consistent contact with
the track. Check the spring tension on the sensor
assembly on the machine to assure that it will easily
return to the fully extended (down) position after be-
ing compressed. Also assure that the track is straight
with no dips or indentations and that it is clean and
free of contamination. Other causes are an un-
plugged or damaged cable or possibly an issue with
the main control board. (Figure 43)
Press the “Main” button to return to the “Regulated”
or “Manual” menu screen or the “Back” button to
return to the “More” menu screen.
Keypad Test
The Keypad test allows the user to press any of the
four keys on the front or back handles to verify that
the HQ
18
Avanté is reading the buttons as they are
pressed. When a key is pressed the name of the key
that is pressed will appear in the white box. When
it is released, the name will disappear. Perform this
test on the rear display for the rear keys, and the
front display for the front keys. (Figure 44)
Press the “Main” button to return to the “Regulated”
or “Manual” menu screen or the “Back” button to
return to the “More” menu screen.
