Kp-300 Operator Controls

The Kp-300 has just a small number of operator controls. Most of these have LEDs

that can be lit under program control, or indicate their current status.

A) E-Stop Button/Keyswitch

These two switches are wired in series. Opening either one will cause an

E-Stop

and

HPU Stop event

on the Kp-300. The beginning of any E-Stop

event stops the HPU (if there is one), disables the

Blocking Valve output

and

triggers the Smart Brick System to play the E-Stop Show through the

Blue

ʻE-Stopʼ Input

to the Smart Brick Brain. Calling up the E-Stop show sets the

ʻ

E-Stop Show Running

ʼ output from the Smart Brick System (this must be

programmed into the motion profile of the E-Stop show). This resets the first
of the two E-Stop latches on the Kp-300. At this point you can start the HPU
and any shows that have been enabled in the motion control profile of the E-
Stop Show.

The E-Stop switch has a red mushroom-style cap. Once pushed, the but-

ton latches in the E-Stopped position. To release the cap, it is rotated clock-
wise. The

E-Stop button

has a spare set SPDT set of contacts available for

your use. Users of Moog electric motion bases can use this switch closure
for the hardware E-Stop input they require.

The

Keyswitch

is typically used to lock unauthorized users from starting

the HPU or running shows with motion. The Keyswitch can be turned to one
of two positions. The key can be removed in either of these two positions.

The show can be run without motion while the keyswitch is turned off or

the

E-Stop button

has been pushed in. If you want to disallow shows to be

run at all if there is an E-Stop condition present, you can use the

DipSwitch

#3

,

DipSwitch #4

or

DipSwitch #5

to disallow running shows if there is an er-

ror condition.

B) Log Belts Button

Seat belts can be logged at any time that the

Show Pause Reset Input

from the Smart Brick System is active. When this input is active, the safety
inputs can be logged by either pressing the

Log Belts button

or activating the

Remote Log Belts Input

by pressing

Remote Log Belts Button(s)

attached to

it. If you want to automatically log belts from the motion profile, just set the

Remote Log Belts Input

for Internal Power and attach the two wires for this
