CHAPTER 2 – OPERATION
2-1 Description of Motion During Operation
There are three basic axes of motion that the simulator travels on, Pitch, Roll and vertical lift into the game
position.
2-1A The Pitch Axis
The pitch motor is a 5 HP 208 VAC drive motor. Controlled by the frequency drive inverters. The pitch
axis will rotate the cockpit in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The maximum velocity the
pitch axis will produce is 90 degrees per second.
2-1B The Roll Axis
The roll motor is a 3.0 HP 208 VAC drive motor. Controlled by the frequency drive
inverters. The roll axis will rotate the cockpit in either a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction. The maximum velocity the roll axis will produce is 90 degrees per second.
2-1C The Vertical Lift System
The Lift motor is a 3.0 HP 208 VAC drive motor. Controlled by the frequency drive inverter. The vertical
lift system raises and lowers the main assembly into the load and ride positions.
2-2 System Startup Procedures
The procedures listed below must be followed to ensure the simulator operates in a safe
condition.
1. On the left A frame, turn the power switch on the power strip to “ON”. This will
power up the following;
a. Projector power
b. Wireless receiver power.
c. Network switch power.
d. Television power.
e. On-board computer.
f. On-board amplifier.
g. On-board TV elite video signal splitter.
h. All cooling fans in the cockpit and drive motors.
2. In the command console, turn power strip on bottom to “ON”.
3. Power up the Battery Backup unit, press switch in on right top side. Green light
comes “ON”. The monitor will come on automatically.
4. Press the power on button on front of computer and allow unit to come up to desktop.
5. Power up any stand ups if needed or applicable.
6. Turn projector bulb on by aiming remote towards mirror and pressing green “ON”
button once. Bulb comes on and gets brighter over next few seconds.
7. Pull out the red E-Stop button on side of command console to power up Inverters.
NOTE: The bird and an alert window will open while the inverters are powering up and the
communication path between the CPU and power box is established. If all is well, the bird and
window will close. If there is a problem, another alert window will come up stating the problem.
Correct all faults before running/starting any other program.
