Rapid-Air SERVO FEED / RAPID MASTER - Manual (Page 7)


The reset job parameters routing
should be used with special caution.
We incorporated it as a user function
for two reasons.
The first reason is if a problem caused
the displayed parameters to be
garbled because of a program glitch,
then by resetting the job parameters
the problem could be cleared.
The second reason is if there were
a number of different jobs in memory
that were no longer required, then
by resetting the job parameters,
all the job numbers would be reset
to their default values, which
includes putting all zeros in the
feed length and strokes per minute
area of the program.
CAUTION!!.CAUTION!!.CAUTION!!
Keep a hard copy record of program
numbers and data associated with them
for reference if needed. If this function
is used in a way other than what it was
designed for then all previous data is
lost and cannot be recovered.
To enter this function, turn off the pro-
gram by depressing the master stop
button. Turn on the program again and
push and hold the “clear entry” key,
once the program has started the
following screen will be displayed.
