FLAG RETRIEVAL

How to return to a fl agged blade: 

Find and return to the blades fl agged earlier in the inspection process. The 
FutureDrive will remember every blade fl agged in every stage of the engine.

New blades cannot be fl agged in 

FLAG-RET

 mode; the only functionality is 

fi nding and returning to fl agged blades, and unfl agging them  

(Figure 14)

. Select 

BLADE

 to fl ag a new blade.

Figure 13: Flag Retrieval Screen

Press and release          until 

FLAG-RET is selected

GOTO indicates the 

selected fl agged blade 

that the FutureDrive is 

moving to 

Use the                    keys 

to move to the next or 

previous fl agged blade. The 

GOTO indicator will show 

the fl agged blade’s number 

and the FutureDrive will 

begin to move to that blade.  

Anytime you need to return 

to this screen, use the 

MOVE button

Figure 14: Unfl agging Blade Screen

If you decide to un-fl ag 

the blade, press        . The 

FutureDrive will toggle 

the fl ag on or off for this 

blade. You can fl ag blades 

in other modules, but you 

can only un-fl ag them using 

FLAG-RET.

Anytime you need to return 

to this screen, use the 

MOVE button

When you arrive to the fi rst 

fl agged blade, the GOTO 

indicator vanishes and the 

FLAG indicator appears

Press the          button to 

interrupt the Go-To process

How to set interval speed:

This mode automatically moves the engine, starting at the current blade 
through the last blade on the stage. It can be set for continuous travel  (INTV:0) 
or can pause at each blade if 

INTV

 is set to 1  (for 1 second)  or above  (up to 99 

seconds). This allows the user to work entirely hands-free. If a video recorder is 
used, the inspection can be recorded unattended.

INTERVAL

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.

Figure 15: Interval Screen

Use                   to set the 

interval (the delay between 

each automatic blade move). 

This determines how long 

the FutureDrive will pause at 

each blade. “0” is continuous, 

“1” is one second, etc.

The word 

INTV

 will fl ash whenever 

interval moment is in progress. The 

number after 

INTV

 indicates the 

pause at each blade as the engine is 

turned automatically

Blades can be 

fl agged using       , 

or the hand or 

foot switch if 

connected

Press and release

        until 

INTV

 is 

selected

Anytime you need to 

return to this screen, 

use the 

MOVE

 button

When you are ready to start, 

press         to begin interval 

movement. Press         again 

to pause or stop.
