E- CABLE
To engage the front or rear E-CABLE, push
in on the cable using your foot. Either cable, when
engaged, removes power to the motor and opens the
main roller and pull roller nips. The E-CABLE are
provided in the event you are unable to reach one of
the four E-STOPs.

To continue operation, reset the main roller
UP-DOWN switch to UP and continue on with
operation. The E-CABLE automatically resets itself
when the cable springs back to it’s original position.
All E-STOPs must be in the unlatched position as
well.
The E-CABLE may be adjusted if you feel
the cable is too sensitive or too loose. Contact your
local service representative for this adjustment.
PHOTO-EYE
The Orca III/ Orca III T is equipped with three
sets of PHOTO-EYEs, one at the main roller nip,
one behind the pull roller nip and one in front of the
pull roller nip. The PHOTO-EYEs, when blocked by
an object, stop the rollers from turning and will resume
turning when the sensor is no longer blocked.
This safety feature not only protects the
operator but also protects objects from entering the
rollers nip causing damage. The PHOTO-EYEs are
calibrated at time of installation.
With the FWD/ REV switch in the FWD
position, the PHOTO-EYE at the front of the main
roller nip (1) and the rear of the pull roller nip (3) are
engaged.
