SF ON / OFF switch

Installation

4.5 Attaching the

Singleframe Hand
Control Unit SFHC-1

When attaching the Singleframe Hand Control,
damage can be caused to the shutter plate if it
does not slide into the ICS-Guide correctly.
Therefore check manually before attaching the
Singleframe Hand Control to see if the Capping
Shutter plate slides easily into the ICS-Guide
(see chapter Attaching the Integrated Capping
Shutter).

• Turn the SF or CAP switch

➪

photo

to the OFF or

MAN position. Turn the 1x / INT switch

➪

photo

to

the 1x position.
This switches off singleframe operation and the
Integrated Capping Shutter can later be operated by
the CAP-MANUAL key.
