How to Manually Release Stylus System- RDS Vast XXT


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

When I click on "Release stylus system" it gives me a 5 second rundown. After 5 Seconds I hear a click. No matter how hard I pull after that click, the stylus will not release. Calypso still recognizes the active stylus. Can someone please tell me how I'm being dumb?

Just read a note in the manual "The RDS adapter plate is locked. To remove it, press the push-button on the adapter plate."

I don't see a push button?

Try and release using the controller. You will need someone to grab the probe once you do the button sequence for releasing, as it doesnt countdown at all when those 3 buttons are used.

F2,SHIFT,BOTTOM RETURN BUTTON

Clark, are you talking about the button close to "A" in the pic below? I tried pressing that in and it didn't do anything. 2516_c01c024a0e6d31645a39694cf002c5d5.png
Shane, in that order and hold them down? It seems to just bring up a menu when I do that combination.

Sorry, I'm definitely using the wrong phrasing here. I don't want to remove the entire XXT Probe, I just want to remove the stylus system. My bad, I'll update the title.

You were right. I just had to gather my balls and pull, came right off. Thanks for the help.

The reason I did this is because we moved our stylus system holder, and I couldn't grab the master probe. I have now defined the holder (within the "cnc stylus system change) for where the master probe should go. It goes exactly where it should, but it doesn't release the stylus inside the holder. It just raises up in the Z with the stylus still attached. Ever experience this?

Today is not my day.

Edit: Determined that it's positioned too high in the Z to drop off. So I must be determining my stylus length incorrectly.
