Initial Power Up Sequence

  1. Make sure that all of the machines are turned off.
  2. Launch AMAYA OS and wait for the grey screen.
  3. Select Tools, then Options. Click on the Ethernet tab. This step is usually only required for the initial power up.
    • Ensure that the Ethernet adapter/card that is connected to your machine(s) is selected (left-click to select)
    • Turn on Force Download.
    • Click OK.
  4. Make sure the E-Stop is disengaged.
  5. Power up the machine with the power switch in the back.
  6. The software will load CSA and RSA files.
  7. The machine will initialize and display on screen.

My Machine Won't Initialize!

If your machine is switched on but will not initialize fully, check the E-stop. If the E-stop is engaged, the motors cannot function to move the machine to a home position and will not allow it to initialize. The machine will give a series of short beeps to indicate that the e-stop is engaged when powering up. If you notice this, simply disengage the e-stop by turning it in the direction of the arrows and releasing the button. The machine will now be allowed to move to the home position and fully initialize.

Daily Start-up Routine

After you've completed the entire initial setup, you will begin a more regular use of your machine.

The usual daily start-up routine for the machine is:

  1. Launch AOS
  2. Power up the machine
  3. Oil the rotary hook.
