Automatic Load Adjustment and Transport Locking Mode

The top plate of the system is supported by four steel springs. These springs carry the load placed on

top. For the initial installation or after load changes these springs have to be pre-stressed according to

the weight of the setup. This is done by electric motors via an electronic circuit. This procedure is called

„automatic load adjustment". The objective of the load adjustment is to elastically support the top plate

by the springs.

The halcyonics_i4 systems have a combined automatic load adjustment and transport locking mode

feature. Both functions are controlled using the "Load Adjust" button The following modes can be

selected depending on the number of times you press the button. The LEDs show the selected mode as

follows:



Green

– load adjustment



LED off

– neutral



Red

– transport locking mode

The "load adjustment" mode (green LED) is used for automatic, load-dependent adjustment of the

system. When you set up the system and press this button, the system will start the load adjustment.

For initial adjustment and for changing the loading conditions, the green mode has to be selected.

During the activation of the green LED, the system will check at intervals whether the load on the

system has changed and will automatically move the top plate into the optimal position when necessary.

If this automatic adjustment is not desired, please turn the LA-Automatic off by pressing the load adjust

button once so that the LED is off. During the load adjustment of the i4 system, the active isolation is

interrupted.

The "neutral" mode (LED off) is selected to deactivate the automatic load adjustment and to avoid the

self-adjustment of the system. This way the motors of the load adjustment do not start to run at an

unwanted time. Once you switch on the system power for the first time, the i4 system will be in the

"neutral" mode. At this point, select the "load adjustment" mode. As soon as the stepper motors stop

you can switch to "neutral" and the system is ready to operate.

During transportation the halcyonics_i4 system always has to be locked! In the lock mode a rigid

mechanical contact between the top and the bottom of the system prevents the sensitive components

from damage. To lock the system, change the load adjustment setting to the "transport locking

mode" (red LED), and the four steel springs will be automatically pre-stressed up to the maximum.

Press and hold the

button for 4 seconds!
