How to set blade-by-blade movement:

This allows user to move one blade per push of the  

      keys. Each blade 

will always stop at the position selected with 

SET VIEW POS

. If the hand or foot 

switch is connected, it can be used instead of the keys.

•  An entire engine inspection can be completed with this method. Use the 

STAGE

 button to change to the next stage, then use 

JOG

 and 

SET VIEW 

POS

 again.

•  For more accessibility, connect the auxiliary hand or foot switch for 

forward rotation only  

(Figure 11)

Note:

 If backlash is set, changing rotational direction during all move modes will trigger a fl ashing 

backlash message. The message with appear on the screen while system compensates for looseness 

in the gearbox and will disappear once this action is complete. During backlash compensation time 

interval, all hand control buttons will be disabled until this operation is complete, then hand control 

button functionality is automatically restored.
