9. Stop the cable from rewinding or pull the magnet out. The display will stop counting and show the results.
10. Again, pull the cable out approximately 24 inches. The display’s current value will remain because the Safetimeter
is set in the TIME DOWN direction.
11. Let the cable rewind. The display will reset to “0” and start counting. The zero reset occurs automatically at the
beginning of the count and cannot be seen.
NOTE: The Safetimeter will count when the cable is rewinding and stop when the cable stops, or the direction is
reversed.
12. Change the TIME UP/TIME DOWN switch to the TIME UP position and start with the cable rewound. The
Safetimeter will begin to count in the UP direction when the 20-inch CSP setting is reached and continue until the
cable stops or the direction is reversed.
13. Set the CSP dial to several values and check that the Safetimeter begins to count at the preset positions when the
cable is moving in the direction selected by the TIME UP/TIME DOWN switch.
14. If the optional Manual Start Switch is available, continue with steps 14-15. If not, move to Chapter 3: Operating
Instructions.
15. Plug the Manual Start Switch in the MANUAL Start jack. If the Safetimeter is ON, the counter will begin to run.
Switch the Safetimeter OFF and then ON to reset the counter.
16. If the Manual Start Switch is normally closed (red plug), the Safetimeter will begin to count when the switch is pushed. If
the Manual Start Switch is normally open (black plug), the Safetimeter will begin to count when the switch is released.
Note: The Normally Closed switch has been obsoleted and is no longer available for sale.
Chapter 3: Operating Instructions
3.1: Placement of Position/Velocity (P/V)
Transducer
1. Position the magnetic base of the P/V transducer on a clean
area of the press’s bed or bolster plate.
2. Extend the cable magnet to the ram in a straight line,
perpendicular to the transducer and attach the magnet to
the ram. A test will not start at 90 degrees if the cable is
angled.
3. Connect the P/V transducer to the Safetimeter using the
cable provided.
CAUTION: Never place the transducer where the press or dies can close in on it. Also, be sure when the press closes,
the transducer still has some cable extended to keep it from slamming the magnet into the body of the transducer.
