Upgrading Power Backgauge Models to
Programmable Models
In Send Mode, power backgauge models will display
“B) Upgrade” instead of “B) Job”. Call your authorized
Challenge dealer if you wish to purchase the upgrade
code that will upgrade your machine to a programmable
model.
If you have purchased the code and wish to upgrade
your machine, press the soft-key B to go to the upgrade
screen. Type in the upgrade code and press ENTER.
If the code is correct, the machine will be upgraded to a
programmable model and the display will return to the
Start Up screen. Soft-key B should now read “Job”
instead of “Upgrade”.
NOTE: Upgrade codes can only be obtained from The
Challenge Machinery Co. through authorized Challenge
dealers. Each machine has a unique upgrade code
that will not work on other machines. Please have the
machine serial number (as displayed in the lower left
corner of the display) ready when calling, as it is
necessary to obtain the code.
MAINTENANCE MODE
The maintenance mode is an area where many machine
functions can be set or modified. The four principle
functions are: Language, Parameters, Diagnostic, and
Knife Adjust. To select a particular function, use the up
and down arrow keys to toggle to the desired function
and press ENTER. See the following descriptions for
an explanation of each function.
Language
In the language screen, use the up and down arrow
keys to toggle to the desired language, and press
ENTER. All messages will be displayed in the selected
language.
Parameters
In the parameter screen, use the up and down arrow
keys to toggle to the desired parameter, and press
ENTER. See the descriptions that follow for an
explanation of each parameter.
False Clamp
The false clamp plate is an optional attachment which
reduces the creasing of paper caused by the clamp.
The disadvantage of using the false clamp plate is that
it limits the smallest cut dimension. The computer
must know when the false clamp plate is installed
on the machine to prevent the backgauge from
crashing into it. In the false clamp screen, use the
up and down arrow keys to toggle between ON or OFF
to indicate the presence of the false clamp plate, and
press ENTER.
Time-out
The time-out parameter allows the operator to select
the amount of idle time before display blanking occurs.
The choices are 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes. In the
time-out screen, use the up and down arrow keys to
toggle to the desired time-out, and press ENTER.
Push-out
Normally, whenever the backgauge is sent to a larger
dimension, a five inch (127mm) push-out is performed
to aid the operator in accessing the paper. In some
situations, it may be necessary to turn this feature off.
It is recommended that this feature be left on whenever
possible. In the push-out screen, use the up and down
arrow keys to toggle to the on or off status as desired,
and press ENTER.
Accuracy Adjust
This parameter provides a means for adjusting the
accuracy of the backgauge. To change the accuracy,
send the backgauge to 2 inches (50.8mm) and cut some
paper. Measure the paper, and type in what you actually
measure. The computer will calculate the amount of
error and will compensate.
Knife count
The knife count parameter allows the operator to reset
the knife alarm and the lube alarm. The knife alarm
displays a message to remind the operator to change
the knife. The lube alarm displays a message to remind
the operator to have the machine lubricated. The lube
alarm will also display the name and phone number of
the Challenge dealer from which the machine was
