3.6 Up/down motor slow speed adjustment
The up/down motor first second speed can be adjusted individually to both directions to suit the
various needs of the equipment operators and to compensate for the individual frictions and
weight balances of the equipment.
Press the CTL and press and hold down the up key for 4 seconds to activate the adjustment
mode for up-direction (CTL and down key for down-direction). In this mode the keys ready, up,
down, mm- and mm+ only are operative. The functions of these keys are:
UP Move the equipment into direction up
DOWN Move the equipment into direction down
mm- Adjust the speed slower
mm+ Adjust the speed faster
READY Exit this mode and program the new speed into the memory
The main display indicates the direction to be adjusted and the relative percentage of the current
speed with an arrowhead pointing up or down and the speed (00-99). The speed indication is rel-
ative, 00 meaning the minimum and 99 the maximum possible slow adjustment speed. 00 is not
stop and 99 is about half of the maximum speed of the motor.
The factory default is 55.
The adjustment is altered with the mm- and mm+ keys after which the speed can be checked by
moving the equipment with UP or DOWN keys. Note that the direction under modification never
accelerates to the full speed but continues at the slow speed to allow the proper verification of it.
The opposite direction operates normally.
NOTE In this mode the end limit sensors are not checked to the direction under modification.
This allows to get the Z-carriage easily in it’s normal operating range if it was for some
reason jammed outside the limit sensor and had lost the right position information. See
chapter UP/DOWN motor for information of the operating philosophy.
3.7 Exposure switch selection
The remote exposure switch type can be selected. The new type is equipped with a ready light
that will come on when the unit is correctly se up and ready to take an exposure.
Press the CTL-key and the READY key to select the desired exposure switch type. When the
switch type equipped with the ready light is selected, the ready light on the holder will come on. If
there is not a ready light on the holder, the exposure indicator light will come on to indicate that
the wrong type switch has been selected and you must select the other switch type. When the
switch type without the ready light is selected, the ready light on the holder is off and indicates
that the wrong type switch has been selected.
