GREEN

 power light and the 

RED

  

Emergency E-stop light are activated.

•  During the opening sequence, you will 

see a blank BLUE screen which is 

 

normal.  This will change and the HMI 

will soon switch over to the SPX page.

•  At this point, the MCS controller is 

 

running through its diagnostics. This 

may take up to a minute or more. Once 

completed, the program will switch to 

the next page – the WARNING screen.

•  This page requires you, the operator, 

to read and understand the operator’s
