1. Local Push Button Operation
GRIP MODE
To energize the magnet, press and hold the GRIP and
PROOF buttons*. Hold them both until the green ring of the
GRIP button illuminates. The magnet is now in the full “ON”
or energized condition. The magnet will remain energized
until the release function is selected.
As a safety reminder, the green GRIP ring may begin to
flash after 10 minutes in the GRIP condition. This indicates
that the user is about to exceed the magnet duty cycle.
Safely lower the load to a safe support and turn off magnet
so that it can cool. See page 15 for discussion of the
magnet duty cycle.
RELEASE MODE
To turn off or De-Energize the magnet, press, and hold both the PROOF and RELEASE buttons. Hold
them both until the red ring of the RELEASE button flashes. Each flash indicates that a release pulse
is being sent to the magnet. The magnet should achieve a clean release of the load or work piece,
while the buttons are held and the RELEASE ring is flashing, according to this schedule:
• CER05 and CER07 - one to three release pulses
• CER09 and CER12 - three to five release pulses
• CER16 and CER20 - five to seven release pulses
While the buttons are held and the RELEASE ring is flashing, the magnet control will provide up to
twelve pulses, to ensure a clean release of the load.
A clean release of the load or work piece is a function of a combination of factors, including thickness,
size of the load vs. size of magnet, surface cleanliness, and surface finish.
Releasing the two buttons returns the magnet to the “OFF” condition.
* NOTES for previous versions of CER magnets:
Control functions for early models of the CER magnets are labeled with:
“LIFT” rather than “GRIP”
“ENABLE” or dual “RELEASE” rather than “PROOF”
Functionality is common with the descriptions above.
