>THICKNESS SENSOR

In order to view and access this menu, the user must commutate parameter THICKNESS
SENSOR to ON inside the FEATURES MENU.

The THICKNESS SENSOR menu contains the parameters for configuring the linear position
sensor. Due to their importance, their access in protected by a code.

ACCESS CODE

TO ENTER MENU

- - - - -

If the user is not authorized to enter this menu and does not know the access code, the
following message is displayed:

WRONG CODE

TRY AGAIN!

Sensor parameters may be changed after having keyed in the correct access code.

SENSOR S/N_P1: 0000

SENSOR S/N_P2: 0000

If the position sensors are activated, the position sensors initialize each time the control unit is
switched on. If an initialization error occurs, it is displayed on the control unit through the
following message:

CAN LINE

NOT INITIALIZABLE

and the sensors disable automatically.

Therefore, solve the initialization problem, re-enter the THICKNESS SENSOR menu and
manually re-enable the position sensors.
