1.1. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock, injury or mechanical damage:
WARNING
Always turn all the power switches o before plugging and
unplugging the QS-CH2 . Dangerous voltages level can be
present in power cabinet for a few minutes after turning o
the machine.
■Use the QS-CH2 only for its intended purpose, according to instructions.
■Unplug the QS-CH2 from the power supply if it is not used for an extended period
or when there is a need to perform hardware installation, maintenance, servicing
or repairs.
■Turn o the QS-CH2 when it is not in use.
■The QS-CH2 was designed for indoor use only - DO NOT store or use the product
outdoors.
■Keep the QS-CH2 away from the heat sources, high humidity, water, and other
liquids. DO NOT store in cold place where water condensation may occur.

QS-CH2
■DO NOT cover the ventilation holes in the QS-SB2 power cabinet.
■Keep the power cord plug and the socket dry, clean and dust-free.
■Protect the power cord from damage caused by being stepped on, rubbed against,
or pinched.
■DO NOT use the QS-CH2 if the ambient temperature is below 4°Celsius (39°Fahren-
heit) or above 45°Celsius (113°Fahrenheit).
■DO NOT use the QS-CH2 if it has been damaged, or any component is broken or
missing. Please contact technical support.

1.2. HEALTH AND SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The safety of Qubic System users is the top priority. To protect users and bystanders
against injuries caused by mechanical parts movement and electrical connectivity, the
following instructions must be strictly performed.
WARNING
As with any mechanical device, the user is responsible for inspecting the condi-
tion of the machine prior to use and adhering to safe operating procedures.
What must be done before turning on the machine:
■Check if cables are mounted properly – they are not stretched or loosely connected
to the socket and placed out of the moving range of the system components.
■Check that all elements are properly fixed.
■Check if there are no sharp edges nearby.
WARNING
Dangerous voltage level may occur in the QS-SB2 power cab-
inet and cables during the operation and for a few minutes
after turning o the machine.
User Manual R1.0 3

QS-CH2
How to turn on safely and use the QS-CH2 :
■Check if everyone around is aware of machine rapid movements.
■Make sure that no one stands in the range of motion (minimum 1.5 m).
■Kids should be kept away from the machine.
■Pets should be kept away from the machine.
■When the QS-CH2 is turned on, it performs start-up calibration.
WARNING
QS-220-PL will move automatically after turning it on in order to perform start up
procedure. Please be away of that movement and do not try to interrupt it.
■DO NOT interrupt or change the weight of payload mounted to the QS-CH2 during
start-up calibration.
To check if the platform is in the Motion Lock mode look at the main window of
the QubicManager. Status is visible in the lower left corner of the window:
–For VR Headset users:
*Remove the VR goggles before entering or exiting the rig.
*Check very carefully if cables from VR Headset are not limiting the oper-
ation range of QS-CH2 .
*Check if the whole VR setup is not in range of motion of the machine.
*Check if cables are protected from being crushed by the QS-CH2 – DO
NOT place them loosely under the motion rig.
User Manual R1.0 4

QS-CH2
INFO
Check if connected PC is capable of running the game at stable 90 frames per
second or more when VR Headset is used. Lower values can cause VR sickness.
■DO NOT use QS-CH2 if you are pregnant, tired, or under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
■STOP USING the QS-CH2 immediately if pain, fatigue or any discomfort appears.
■For every two hours of playing, we recommend at least 15 MINUTES OF BREAK.
■DO NOT put your hands or legs in the actuators range of motion!
■DO NOT use the QS-CH2 around small children or pets.
■DO NOT put any items between actuators and stabilization plates.
■DO NOT pull the wires connecting the actuators with the power cabinets.

2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The QS-CH2 is intended to be used as additional yaw and surge table which can be
placed under motion cockpit. It is suited to work together with the Qubic System QS-
CH1 motion cockpit by providing additional over steering eect. Platform is based on
the Qubic System linear actuator technology, which is part of the Qubic Ecosystem and
it is compatible with other Qubic System products.
