DEEP ETCHING:
To “Deep Etch” flip the toggle switch (Fig. 5) to high and select a power setting “A
thru F”. Keep in mind that the higher the power setting, the shorter the life of the
stencil. When deep etching, the best results are achieved by a series of short dwells
to minimize heat build-up. The more short dwells used the deeper the etch will be.
Always use Millennium Signatures “deep etch” pads and electrolytes for best results.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC SET-UP WITH AN AM10-A OR 30T MARKER:
A)
Plug your unit into a 110V AC power outlet.
B)
Connect the four wire cord set to the corresponding jacks on the power unit and the
marking machine, for example: black to black, yellow to yellow, and green to green.
The red lead is the ground. Be sure the ground lead is properly grounded to the part or
fixture in semi-automatic marking operations.
Please note: On applications using marking from the bottom up or simultaneous top
and bottom marking request set-up information from your sales representative.
C)
Plug the footswitch into the back of your power unit.
D)
Place the appropriate monopad on the marking head and attach the insert stencil,
cap stencil, or flat stencil as required.
E)
Place the long tube from the #152 electrolyte pump in the open bottle of electrolyte.
Prime the pump by rotating quickly clockwise. The pump is adjusted by the small set
screw on the stop below the lever.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC OPERATION:
A)
Flip the power toggle switch up to turn the unit on.
B)
Choose the desired current by flipping the AC/DC (FIG. 11) toggle switch up to AC
or down to DC.
C)
Choose the desired voltage. Refer to “B” in the section for “manual operation” to
review the voltage settings and operation procedure. Set to either low or high power.
(FIG. 5)
D)
Set the “SINGLE CYCLE/REPEAT” switch to single cycle. (FIG. 1)
E)
Adjust the “ON” dial located under the heading “CYCLE TIME” (Fig. 6). This
dial controls the amount of time the marking head remains in contact with the substrate.
Most dark marks require a setting of one to three seconds.
F)
Accessory Cycle Time: Preset the accessory cycle time by rotating the dial marked
“ON” under the heading “CYCLE TIME” clockwise to the desired setting. (FIG. 6)
This will determine the amount of time the marking head spends in contact with the
substrate (swell time). The greater the number, the longer the contact will be. Once
