Calibrating Powerheads

Gibson Guitars 1550-07 GUS manual Calibrating Powerheads, Manual Calibration of Powerheads

The Robot Guitar will be pre-calibrated for a standard .010-.046 set of strings. If you change string gauges, restore factory defaults, or are installing the system yourself, you may first want to calibrate the Powerheads individually using the Motor Calibration Mode as described below. Remember though, each Powerhead is self-regulated with a Dynamic Runtime Algorithm that ensures the change of runtimes according to each string. After several tunings the system will perfect itself automatically.

MANUAL CALIBRATION OF POWERHEADS

Enter Setup Mode and turn to LED I, press display. The Peg and I LEDs will shine white. Now you are ready to calibrate any or all of your Powerheads.

First, turn the MCK to the Powerhead you want to calibrate (selected strings are indicated by solid blue) and press the display once. Strum the string and it will begin to alternate between flashing red and green. Pause a few seconds and strum it again. Repeat this simple procedure while the Powerhead adjusts itself. When the LED for that string changes to the next string in order, you know that the Powerhead you selected first is done. It’s that simple.
