OPERATIONAL CONTROL & STATUS KEYS -
MAIN SCREEN
The first screen which is displayed is the MAIN SCREEN.
The L.C.D window will display a graphic representation of
the M&R Challenger Series II press. In the lower right corner
of the L.C.D. window, the screen will display the program
reference information for the program currently installed in
the press. (See Figure 3 at the right)
COUNTERS -
Press the button under "COUNTERS" one time. The
"COUNTERS" information menu is displayed in the L.C.D.
window, and the green L.E.D. indicator above the "COUN-
TERS" button illuminates. The L.C.D. window displays "Shift
Counter", "Job Counter", "Set Counter", "Left Counter",
"Total Counter" and "Speed. At the bottom of the screen is
a graduated scale starting at "0" on the left and increasing
to "120" on the right. This scale indicates the current pro-
duction rate and is expressed in "Dozens per hour". As the
press operates, you will note that the scale will gradually fill
in from the left to the right to indicate the current production
speed. Lastly, in the upper right corner of the screen, the
current time of day is displayed. (See Figure 4 at the right)
The "Shift Counter" displays the count for the production
shift. The "Shift Counter" may be reset using the arrow keys,
the numerical keys and the "ENTER" key as follows. First,
press the "RIGHT ARROW" key. The numerical display for
"Shift Counter" will start to flash, confirming its selection. To
reset the "Shift Counter", press the "0" key on the numeri-
cal keypad, then press the "ENTER" key. The display for
"Shift Counter" is now reset to "0".
The "Job Counter" displays the current number of index
cycles for a given print job. The "Job Counter" may be reset
in the same manner as described above for "Shift Counter".
Set Counter
The next sub-menu selection is "Set Counter". The "Set
Counter" sub-menu is used to enter a number of print
cycles for a given print job into the PLC. For example, if a
print job consists of printing 30 dozen shirts, you would
enter 360, the total number of shirts in 30 dozen. You may
enter up to a maximum of 32,767 print cycles into the "Set
Counter" sub-menu. The minimum you may enter is "0".
To enter a number of print cycles, use the "ARROW DOWN"
key to place the flashing frame on the numeric indication for
"Set Counter" at the right of the message screen. Press the
3, 6, and 0 numerical keys to enter the number of print
cycles (360 for example).
