ii.

 

Detach the DB9 cable and the power cord from the controller. 

iii.

 

Remove the wing nuts/nylocks that hold the display assembly to the 
Vertical Z channel. 

iv.

The RoboCrib computer will have to configured for the network.  Please 
find the instructions on how to configure a peer-to-peer network.  (If the 
RoboCrib computer will be using the customer’s network, the network 
administrator may have to be contacted). 

 

2.

 

System will not calibrate 

a.

 

The RoboCrib will automatically begin the calibration procedure when the RoboCrib 
software is started. 

b.

 

If the machine is unable to calibrate, the software will provide the user with an error 
message.  Please refer to Appendix II. 

 

3.

 

The software will not initiate the Calibration Sequence. 

a.

 

Check to make sure all of the doors are closed, or set the bin door bypass switch to 
“TEST”. 

b.
