YELLOW CYCLE INTERRUPTION CORDS/BARRIER
GATES:
To prevent injury to operating personnel, yellow cycle inter-
ruption cords, or on some models, yellow barrier gates are
provided to restrict access into the index table operating
area while the equipment is in operation. The yellow cycle
interruption cords are provided with magnetic connection
jacks at the middle to facilitate entry into the index table
operating area during screen set-up or preventive mainte-
nance procedures. If you press has yellow cycle interruption
cords, grasp each of the cords at the magnetic jack con-
nections and pull firmly and gently apart. The magnetic con-
nection jacks are separated easier by breaking apart in a
downward motion, much like breaking a pencil or dowel
rod. (See illustration below)

THE YELLOW CYCLE INTERRUPTION
CORD ITSELF. THIS PRACTICE WILL

NAL TO THE JACK AND EQUIPMENT

YELLOW BARRIER GATES:
(Export Models)
Some models of the M&R Challenger Series II may be
equipped with yellow barrier gates. These gates provide the
same protection to the press Operator as the yellow cycle
interruption cords by restricting access to the inner operat-
ing area of the index table.
To enter into the index table area, first press “In” the red
Emergency Stop push button. Now simply apply pressure to
the yellow barrier gate at the interlock connection point
(usually the right side). As the gate disconnects and swings
away from its locked position, an “open” circuit in the 24
volt barrier gate control circuit will result in the shut down of
the entire control system. To resume operation of the sys-
tem, return the barrier gate to the “operating” or closed
position. Do not close the gate with undue or excessive
force. Pull “out” or deactivate the red Emergency Stop push
button. Now press the green “Reset” push button on the
main control panel to reset the PLC’s control logic, and
resume print operations.
WARNING!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT
THE YELLOW BARRIER GATE AND
PUSH “IN” THE RED EMERGENCY
STOP PUSH BUTTON DURING
SCREEN INSTALLATION, SCREEN
SET-UP AND WHILE WORKING WITH-
IN THE INDEX TABLE OPERATING
AREA. CLEARANCE BETWEEN PRINT
STATIONS IS EXTREMELY LIMITED
AND SERIOUS BODILY INJURY MAY
RESULT!
