Chapter 11 Control Definitions:
The purpose of this chapter is to define the function of the buttons throughout the various screens. Certain button
functions may not make sense right away in this chapter. As the operator reads through the Operating Instructions
chapter of this manual, the function of these buttons will become clear.
Computer and Controller Definition:
The computer and controller are located in the main rear electrical enclosure. This unit is a full computer, running
Windows XP Home operating system. Contact the factory if more information on the computer system is required.
Changing or tampering with computer settings without factory authorization will void the factory warranty and may
cause the machine to become inoperable.
Master Power On/Off Switch:
This switch is located on the main electrical control enclosure on the right hand side of the machine. The switch
must be in the off position before opening the rear enclosure door.
When first applying power to the machine the computer will need to boot up. Be patient, it will take several minutes
to complete booting and start the Rottler program.
When turning the main power to the machine off there is a specific procedure to follow so as not to damage the
computer. The computer must shut down its internal systems before main power is removed from it.
From any screen press FILE and then EXIT button. This will shut down the Rottler program. The terminal will
show the computer desktop screen.
Press the “Start” button in the left-hand side of the Start Bar. This will bring up the “Start Menu”. Press the
“Shutdown” line at the bottom of the Start Menu. This will bring up a Pop Up menu, make sure that “shut down
computer” is selected and press “OK”.
This will shut down the computer. It is now OK to turn Main Power off to the machine.
Getting Started:
Once power has been supplied to the machine measure the incoming voltage with a meter to verify
proper voltages before turning the Main Power switch on. Failure to measure and record proper voltages
to the machine could cause damage and will void factory warranty. Measure L1 to L2 and record on the
installation report. Record L1 to ground and L2 to ground and record on the installation report.
Power Up:
Turn the Main Power switch on. Allow a few minutes for the machine to fully boot up.
Note: The Rottler SG9A uses a touch screen for control and data transfer to the computer. Be
careful not to touch the screen until the machine has fully booted up and a Rottler screen is
showing. If the screen is touched prior to full boot –up it may activate a function or interfere with
proper boot-up.
Initialization Screen:
The first screen to appear is the Rottler Manufacturing Start Up screen. Press the ENTER button to start
the Rottler software.
