Halt Button
The halt button ( Figure 3:8 ) is mounted on the front left side of the SECTOR Imager. It can be pressed to halt movement of the
SECTOR Imager abruptly. This button immediately de-energizes the main motion control components in the instrument. However, the
remaining electronic components of the instrument remain powered and still pose a shock hazard.
NOTE: For SECTOR Imager 6000 model 1201, this switch is on/off. If it is pressed for any reason, all motion will halt. It must be
pressed again before the motion system and software will function. For SECTOR Imager 6000 model 1200 and SECTOR Imager
2400/2400A, the halt switch is a momentary switch, so this not a concern.
The halt switch should never be obstructed or restricted from access.
The halt function can also be accessed through the rear I/O panel to enable external safety devices to halt the motion of the SECTOR
Imager. Please contact MSD
Scientific and Technical Support for more information on this feature.
