5.5 USING OF ELECTRONIC SPEED SYNCHRONIZER DEVICE (OPTIONAL)
The machine could be provided with an electronic speed synchronizer
device as an optional package; to activate operate on the selector (table
1, pos. 45) (rightwards) on the master machine.
This device allows to have the same recovering speed of each independent bull-wheels of each
connected machines, when they are working as a puller in connected machines configuration.
5.6 ROPE LOCKING CLAMP (OPTIONAL)
When the machine is connected the proper selector on the master machine operate on all the clamps
of the connected machines.
To engage the rope locking clamp, turn the proper selector on the master
machine (table 1, pos.21 or 22) on position (leftwards - blocked
–
no light) and keep it in position for a few second to allow the complete
closing of the clamp.
To dis-engage the rope locking clamp, turn the proper selector on the
master machine (table 1, pos.21 or 22) on position (rightwards
–
free
– green light) and keep it in position for a few second to allow the
complete opening of the clamp.
5.7 ALARM CONDITION WHEN USING CONNECTED MACHINES
When using connected machines some situation generates alarm
condition with switch on of the alarm light on the main control panel of the
machine where the alarm is generated.
5.7.1 STRINGING LENGTH ERROR
When the electronic speed synchronizer system is active, an eventual difference of stringing length on
the independent ropes larger than a default value programmed (generally 6 m) generate an error and
the stringing operations stops on all the connected machines.
To reset the alarm, move the joystick to neutral on the master machine and dis-engaged the speed
synchronized selector; check the cause of the alarm on the line (ex. Operation of the pull programming
system and arrest of one rope line) before to re-start.
5.7.2 SWITCH ON THE MACHINE WITH CONTROL NOT IN NEUTRAL
When the machine is switched on with joystick not in neutral position, an alarm is generated and the
capstans don’t move.
