Over the last decade we have introduced several versions of the Stagehand Pro with progressively more capabilities and features. The Stagehand Pro+ brings those previous generations up to date to our latest iteration, Stagehand Pro 5, while maintaining as much of the original packaging as possible for a much more cost-effective upgrade.

At the heart of the upgrade is a brand new Stagehand Control Card, powered by an ARM Cortex M4 processor and a PMD (Performance Motion Devices) Magellan motion chip. This new architecture breaths new features, like split accel/decel and limit overrides into any generation of Stagehand Pro!

## Pro+ New Features <a href="#h.o3s85yaaoaop" id="h.o3s85yaaoaop"></a>

### Split Acceleration and Deceleration <a href="#h.44xmnclt1exk" id="h.44xmnclt1exk"></a>

Write more complex cues with different ramp up and ramp down times

### Large Graphical OLED Display <a href="#h.y9rdup5xtahz" id="h.y9rdup5xtahz"></a>

See more information at a glance rather than cycling through all the fault codes

### Built-In Brake Testing

Instead of big, bulky buttons for brake tests, you can simply navigate to brake test function on the card

### Limit and Sensor Overrides

The limit and sensor override status displays on the Stagehand Display as well as in Spikemark

### Improved Load Cell Input <a href="#h.jt8lpem61g12" id="h.jt8lpem61g12"></a>

Detect changes in load with higher precision

### Control Circuit Protection

Since we haven't needed the battery backup since Spikemark 3, we replaced the oldest Pros with much needed fuse protection for the control and encoder circuits

### **VFD Parameter Library**

Change VFD Parameter Set from Spikemark(5.5.2 or later) and not a VFD keypad

## Troubleshooting

The same basic troubleshooting you'll find here holds true with the Pro+, but we did make some changes, so there are a few additional steps to take before reaching out.

### Power

* The Green Power Indicator is not on
  * Check the power is connected and any breakers are turned on
  * Confirm (with a meter) you have 208VAC 3P
* The Stagehand Display isn't on but the Green Power Indicator is
  * Check the 24VDC control fuse

### Encoder

* Encoder counts are not changing on the Stagehand Display
  * Check the 5VDC encoder fuse (depending on Pro version)
  * Check encoder cable connections

### Emergency Stop

* Emergency Stop is Displayed on the Stagehand Display
  * An e-stop is engaged or the Showstopper cable is not connected
  * Confirm the Showstopper Base is operating
* VFD Keypad is displaying "SA"
  * The E-stop is engaged - release the e-stop
    * engage the e-stop then release to clear the Safety Controller
