PROGRAMMING
When the unit is turned on the controller will report
that it is initializing and display The Eraser Co.
MMC100. The controller will request that you se-
lect a batch. Select a batch from 1-10. Numbers
other than 1-10 will not be accepted. Inputs that
are not recognized will emit a beep. Press ENTER
or RUN to continue. The functions in figure 1 will

STATUS
FEED RATE QUANTITY
To begin the run cycle press RUN again only if all
the information has been previously inputted for
the batch. If a variable is entered with a value of 0
an error will cause the controller to beep. Press
ENTER after each inputted value. This will high-
light the next variable to be inputted. After press-
ing ENTER IN/MM will be blinking on the display.
Pressing the + or – keys will change the display
from IN to MM or MM to IN. Press ENTER and
input the length needed. This has a total of 10
characters, one of which is reserved for a deci-
mal and two for zeroes (9999999.00”). After press-
ing ENTER select a feed rate of 1-3. One is the
slowest at 9.5”/sec and 3 is the fastest at 31”/sec.
It is advised to start with the lowest feed rate, check
the results and then adjust as necessary. The next
variable to be entered is QUANTITY. The maxi-
mum allowed is 9999999 pieces. Enter the quan-
tity and press ENTER or RUN. Pressing ENTER
will display “READY” in the status and pressing
run will start the run cycle immediately. Pressing
ENTER will cycle the operator through the vari-
ables. During the run cycle the quantity will count
down until 0 is reached. After reaching 0 “END”
will be displayed. If it is necessary to pause the
unit during a run press ESC/PAUSE. After press-
ing the PAUSE key “PAUSE” will be displayed. The
amount of material transported before pausing will
be displayed under LENGTH. Pressing ESC again
will abort the program. Pressing RUN will display
“READY” and pressing RUN again will continue the
run. At the end of the run “END” will be displayed.
Pressing RUN will put the operator back at the
BATCH screen and pressing RUN will start the
same batch again or the operator may change the
batch at this time.
POWER FAILURE
In case of power failure the MMC100 will be
reinitialized and should not start unexpectedly. All
parameters stored in a batch program will remain
in memory. A fuse and a line filter located in the IEC
connector protect the controller.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
Caution: Always remove compressed air sup-
ply and unplug electrical supply when replac-
ing blades or servicing the unit.
Note: Whenever a blade or both blades are replaced
follow the adjustment procedure.
1. Remove guard and chute assembly by remov-
ing the four thumbscrews.
2. Manually raise the moveable blade to its upper
most position, if it is not currently there, by forcing
the upper blade holders up.
3. Using the 9/64” Allen wrench provided, remove
the fixed lower blade by removing the three cap
screws securing it to the lower blade holder.
4. Remove the cap screw securing the upper
moveable blade to the right upper blade holder us-
ing the 3/16” Allen wrench provided. Rotate the
upper blade holder block out to reveal the threaded
hole in the blade (if the blade holder block does not
rotate easily, try sliding it up and down while rotat-
ing). Insert the screw that was just removed into
the threaded hole about 3 full turns. Use this screw
to support the blade while removing the screw from
the left upper blade holder (see Specification Photo
1). Rotate the left upper blade holder out and insert
the removed screw back into the threaded hole.
Caution: the blade is now free and may fall if
not supported. Use the screws in the blade as
handles to safely remove the blade (see Specifica-
tion Photo 2). Move the blade back until it disen-
gages from the knuckle key. Then move the blade
down and out of the machine.
