SPECIFICATIONS

Controller type: Microprocessor-controlled monitoring and control system for forming

machines.

Measuring System: Force and pressure sensing by piezoelectric transducers; typical size 1-1/8

inch diameter by 1/8 inch thick, or less. Output range: .4 to 200 volts.

Interpreted by 8-bit analog-to-digital converter.

Timing System: Parts counting and measurement timing by non-contact metal detecting

switches on cams or other machine parts. 10-volt output pulse.

Operator Controls
and displays: At machine: “RESET” button and red status light.
At console: Alphanumeric display for measurement and messages, push-

button controls, and Supervisor Keylock to protect settings.

Machine Control: Four relays, operating independently. Immediate, timed, or cycled delay.

Each rated 8 amps, 250 volts AC maximum. May be used to stop machine,

feed, output diverter, or other accessories.

Power
Requirements: 115 volts at 1 amp or 230 volts at ½ amp, 50/60 Hz AC. IMPAX is protected
against surges and motor interference.

Dimensions: Satellite Box: 8" H x 6" W x 4" D
Control Console: 11-3/4" H x 10-3/4" W x 9" D

Satellite Cable: multi conductor, oil resistant covering, 10 foot length
Console weight: Approx. 30 lbs
Distance from IMPAX to machine: Recommended maximum of 20 feet

Environmental
Protection:

Satellite Box and fittings are sealed to NEMA 13. Resistant to oil, heat, and

vibration.
