INSTALLATION REMOTE SETUP
The various main displays on the remote can be seen in Appendix 2, it is advisable that you familiarize
yourself with these before proceeding.
To proceed through the various screens, use the blue buttons, the functions for the buttons will be high-
lighted on the lower part of the screen above the buttons.
The following steps should be taken to get the machine ready to install cable:
1.
Before beginning installation ensure sections 7.1 to 7.6 are completed. Once the remote is connected
the machines power can be connected. The LCD display on the remote unit will initially say
“
Please
wait
”
until it is ready to be used, this should take approximately 10 seconds.
Once the remote is ready the display will show the main screen.
2.
To proceed with the cable installation, select
“
start new job
”
after which the pre
-
installation screen will
be shown.
3.
Next the torque needs to be set, and the speed turned to 0 f/min. This is done by adjusting the rele-
vant potentiometer. Set values can be seen on the screen. The torque needs to be set so that the
force on the cable won
’
t damage it. For guidance on how to do this see section 7.7.2.
7.7.2 SETTING TORQUE
