2.7 Emergency Shutdown
In the event of an emergency or malfunction, press the Emergency Machine Off (EMO) button. The EMO
is the large red button located on the front panel of the dispensing system (Figure 2-3). Activating the
EMO vents all pressure in the pneumatic system, de-energizes the servo power supply capacitors, and
cuts power to all components except the computer and monitor.
TIP If the operator or technician is unable to reach the EMO button, the main power circuit
breaker (Figure 2-3), which is located on the back of the system, can be used for
emergency shutdown.
