5.2 Operating modes
The machine is either in normal mode, or slow mode.
5.2.1 Normal mode
When slow mode is not activated (normal mode), the rotation speed of the rollers is set via the
speed control knob.
Start rotation by pressing the forward button or the footswitch.
Rotation stops when a stop button is pressed or the footswitch is released.
Note:
To return control from the footswitch to the control panel without stopping, press and hold
the forward button, release the footswitch and then release the forward button.
An interruption of the light beam of the optical safety device in front of the rollers will also stop the
rotation of the rollers. To continue after the interruption is taken away, the process must be started
again.
Reverse
WARNING:
KEEP CLEAR OF THE REAR SIDE NIP WHEN RUNNING IN REVERSE MODE.
When running in reverse, the optical safety device at the front side nip is ignored. An audible tone is
heard to warn you for posible danger. The speed is preset and works the same as slow mode. The
rollers will only turn in reverse while the reverse button is held.
5.2.2 Slow mode
Enter or leave Slow mode by pressing the slow mode button for 1 second. The selection is indicated
by the slow mode indication LED. Entering slow mode will not change anything to the current
movement of the rollers. In slow mode the rollers can run at normal or at slow mode speed.
Normal speed
Press the forward button in slow mode to run at a normal speed determined by the speed control
setting (see normal mode).
To start at slow mode speed or to switch from normal (forward) to slow mode speed just press and
hold the footswitch (when slow mode is selected).
Slow mode speed
Press and hold the footswitch in slow mode to force the rollers to run forward at a low speed. The
speed can be adjusted when running in slow mode. The speed can adjusted down to zero, but
cannot be adjusted any higher than maximum allow in slow mode (0.9 mpm or 3 fpm). The position
of the speed pot will be about the same as in normal mode to produce the same speed.
Slow mode speed with the footswitch always runs in the forward direction.
WARNING:
KEEP CLEAR OF THE NIP WHEN RUNNING AT SLOW MODE SPEED.
When running at slow mode speed, the optical safety devices are ignored and an audible signal is
heard to indicate danger. When the footswitch is released, the forward rotation is stopped.
Note:
To change from slow mode speed to normal speed without stopping, press and hold the
forward button, release the footswitch and then release the forward button.
Changing to normal speed will not deactivate slow mode.
Pressing the footswitch again will slow down rotation to slow mode speed again.
