Step 10 - Power On and Condition Check
Turn the power supply on.
Five seconds after powering the manipulator the MONITOR panel will begin to show data readings for all
joints on the manipulator. To access the MONITOR panel, see Figure 13.
If there is no update to the graphs in the MONITOR panel, ensure the manipulator is connected and
communicating with Reach Control

Step 11 - Control Check
The final step in the bench test is to ensure that all joints are active, receiving commands, and responding
in the expected manner. Using a control method of your choice as detailed in Section 4 (we recommend
the software control panel), actuate each joint of the manipulator and ensure that the joint responds and
moves correctly.
This is the end of the bench test. You are now ready to further integrate and test the manipulator for your
specific application.
