Enabling High Power
After you have started the Adept ACE software and connected to the controller, enable
high power to the robot motors:
1. From the Adept ACE main menu, click the Enable High Power icon:
2. If the High Power button on the Front Panel is blinking, press and release it.
NOTE:
The use of the blinking High Power button can be configured (or
eliminated) in software. Your system may not require this step.
The Front Panel, which is mounted just outside the workcell safety barrier, is
shown in the following figure. If enabled, the High Power button must be pressed
while blinking (default time-out is 10 seconds). If the button stops blinking, you
must enable power again.
Figure 5-4. High Power Button on Front Panel
This step turns on high power to the robot motors and calibrates the robot.
• The amplifier status LED blinks green rapidly
(a slow green blink has a different meaning).
In addition, for Adept IP-65 Viper robots, the lamps on the robot glow solid
amber.
• The status panel on the robot or amplifier chassis displays ON.

Test each mushroom button, safety gate, light curtain, etc., by enabling high power and
then opening the safety device. The High Power push button/light on the Front Panel
should go out.
