PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL PANEL

For the correct set up of the control panel, consult the file enclosed to this manual.

6.5

PROCEDURE FOR THE OPENING OF THE SAFETY GUARDS

The compactor can only work when the safety guard is closed and locked by the special lever.
In case the safety guard is opened during the test running, the Compactor will automatically stop. In this case
the stroke number would be lost.
If the operator needs to stop the Compactor at any time and to open the safety guards, he can choose one of
these two procedures:

Pushing the key

the appliance will automatically stop, the stroke counter is reset.

Pushing the key

the appliance will stop. In this case the preset number of strokes is saved

together with the number of strokes made up to then. The key “PAUSE” allows the opening of the
safety guards without data loss, so that the test can be continued after the closing of the safety
guards.

6.6

EMERGENCY STOP

In case of emergency it is possible to stop the test execution at once by positioning the Main Switch on “0”

ATTENTION

It is worth reminding that the test interruption causes its annulations.

6.7

STARTING AFTER AN EMERGENCY STOP

DANGER

Before switching on the appliance once again, find and solve the problems, which caused
the need for an emergency stop.

To switch the appliance again, just move the main switch, placed on the Control Panel, to position “I”, this will
reset appliance normal functions.

6.8

STOP CONTROLLED BY SAFETY SYSTEMS

If the appliance is provided with safety guards, the test can be interrupted by the safety systems studied to
operate in case of malfunctioning. The compactor is equipped with the following safety systems:

STOP CONTROLLED BY THE MICRO SWITCH WHEN OPENING THE SAFETY GUARDS
The safety guard is provided with a protection micro switch to avoid the operator to come in touch with any of
the moving parts of the Compactor. If the safety guard is opened while the test is running, the micro switch
turns the motor off.
To reset the appliance standard functions it is necessary to close the safety guard.

6.9

SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE

To switch off the appliance, just move the Main Switch to position “0”.

6.10

TRIAL STARTING

Before beginning the standard use of this machine, check its perfect working conditions by carrying out at
least one complete empty cycle.
In case of problems during this test cycle, see Chapter “ DIAGNOSIS “.
If neither the instructions given in this manual are not able to solve the problem, please contact our After Sale
Service.
