case the photo or floor sensors cannot be activated or the motion must be stopped for
safety reasons.
l Power Cutoff Switch: This button located inside the operator panel but accessible
through a sliding door on the operator panel cover shuts off the main power to the
system. Pressing this switch will stop the ongoing motion of the system but will not
stop and hold the position of the cabin as with the other buttons and safety features.
Instead, the cabin will slowly pitch forward (nose down) and glide down to its lowest
position due to its own weight. Therefore,
this switch should NOT be pressed
when the motion needs to be stopped. This switch should only be used in the rare
emergency case when power must be cut off such as when a fire is ignited.
NEVER press the power cutoff switch when there is a person or obstacle
UNDER the cabin. The cabin will glide down after the switch is pressed and
can cause serious injury to anybody under the cabin.
l Safety Link (page 29) and Safety Oriented Mechanical Design: The safety link
located on the rear part of the rocker arm functions to prevent a free fall of the cabin in
case the heave actuator is broken off from the rocker arm. The two rocker arm
bearings and center shaft of the rocker arm is designed such that even if one of the
bearings comes loose, the shaft will be held up by the frame to prevent a fall. The
cabin is suspended by three universal joints (central joint and two joints connecting to
the actuators). Therefore, even if one of the joints fail, the other two will support the
cabin to prevent a complete free fall.
l Other Safety Features: Cycraft is equipped with Brake Boards to supply step down
voltages to critical motor controller circuits, in case of power outages so that the cabin
(seat) does not fall abruptly. At power outages (and also when the power cutoff switch
is pressed) the motor control circuits with brake boards will make sure that the
simulator will shutdown and rest softly.
l Safe Inherent Design: The basic configuration of the inverted motion system allows
for the cabin to be suspended much lower from the ground than conventional motion
simulators. Also, it is dynamically much more stable by making it very difficult to tip
the cabin over to it’s side. Thus, the Cycraft structural design is inherently much safer
than conventional motion simulators.
