Power Recess Panel Description
Refer to figure 3 and numbered descriptions of each item of the recess panel.
1.
Key Switch
The key switch has 3 modes, TEST, OFF, and ARM. When in the off position the machine is effectively ‘off’,
it is powered down apart from the power monitoring circuitry. When in TEST mode, this does not allow the
machine to ever be armed regardless of the status of the COBRA/DMX inputs, useful for system setup.
When in ARM mode, the machine should be considered armed and ready to fire.
2.
Ext. Beacon
Plug in the optional, external, magnetic armed beacon. The external beacon mimics the ARM led and
indicates the armed status of the machine to the operator in high light conditions (sunlight), regardless of
the orientation of the machine.
3.
Battery Isolation Switch
This red rocker switch is wired in-line with the positive lead of the internal battery. In the OFF position
ensures the battery is completely isolated from the system (
therefore it needs to be in ON position for
charging
).
4.
DMX in/out connectors
5 pin DMX in/out connections for DMX control.
5.
12V DC output port
Power output from the battery (potentially 11-14V) for powering
wireless DMX units or any low power external DC devices. 2mm DC
output port, centre positive.
6.
Battery Charging LED
Illuminated when the battery is charging, goes ‘off’ when battery charge
current drops to a trickle charge indicating battery is fully charged.
7.
Battery Charger Mains Connectors
Powers the battery charger via a True1 connector, thus charging the
battery whenever mains is connected.
The system
always
requires use of the internal battery; the
charger cannot provide sufficient power for the machine on its
own.
Battery must be installed and Battery Isolation Switch
must be in ON position
to ensure proper operation.
Warning:
WSQP will turn on when powered with charger
alone even if one of the above requirements is not met.
Firing
under these conditions is strictly prohibited.
8.
Emergency Stop connections
The emergency stop inputs simply require a wire link (short circuit) across the two terminals. The WSQP
will not switch on without this being in place (this includes Battery Charging LED, but not charging process
itself). The terminals allow for any traditional E-STOP button or relay module to be wired in.
It is strongly recommended to always have a method of breaking this connection in case of emergency.
