Two (2) interface methods are available for entering system
configuration data, (1) the touchscreen keypad, or (2) a Windows
Microsoft Compatible USB keyboard. If using a keyboard, plug the
USB connection into the port on either side of the machine AFTER
the machine has powered up. Use the drop down menu under
“Configuration” to select the desired configuration screen.
Load Cell Calibration
The APM-HDC-5400 Polisher has been calibrated at Domaille Fiber
Optic Equipment prior to shipment. Recalibration is not typically
necessary during initial setup; however, machine calibration should
be checked on a bi-weekly schedule. Recalibration and load cell
verification of the machine can be preformed in two ways:
1. Using the automatic Domaille EZ-CAL USB Load Cell - P/N
MK15300 (recommended).
2. Using an alternative external master loadcell.
When using the automatic Domaille EZ-CAL USB Load Cell, follow
these steps:
1. Remove the polishing fixture from the Overarm and the rubber
pad from the top of the Platen.
2. Clean top of Platen to remove any water, grit or dirt to ensure that
the EZ-CAL USB Load Cell will be set
on a clean, dry surface.
3. Place the EZ-CAL USB Load Cell on
the Platen and center it under the
Overarm plunger.
4. Plug the USB connector of the
EZ-CAL Load Cell into
the side USB port of the
polishing machine.
5. Allow EZ-CAL Load Cell to warm up 15 minutes prior to starting.
6. On the touchscreen, select the “System Config” tab, then select
“Load Cell Calibration” in the configuration dropdown box using
the DOWN arrow as necessary (Fig. 3).
7. Select the “Auto Cal” button to begin the automatic calibration
process or if the user is only verifying the calibration press the
“Verify LC” button.
