Piranha Ironworker P65 15
Footswitch Operation
The ironworker can also be controlled by a footswitch. See figure below. The footswitch
is used by plugging the 4-pole twist lock cap into the 4-pole twist lock receptacle located
in the front cover of either control box (reference figure A), and switching the toggle switch
(reference figure A) from the "OFF" position to the "ON" position.
The footswitch is a three-(3) position switch allowing hands-free operation.
▪
By fully depressing the footswitch lever, machine movement is downward to limit
setting (F2).
▪
By allowing the footswitch lever to elevate to the center position, machine movement
stops (F3).
▪
Completion of downward cycle is accomplished by depressing footswitch lever again.
Machine movement is down until limit setting is met (reference Figure F4).
▪
Removing foot pressure from the switch entirely allows machine movement upward to
limit setting, completing upstroke cycle (reference Figure F5).
