TO HELP YOU ENTER A JOB FROM THE KEYPAD LET’S CREATE AN EXAMPLE:
We will use a feed length of three inches and want to run the feed rate at 100 percent .
The main menu is currently displayed. First we select the job number and we will use job
#1.
1. Press F1 to select the job number.
2. Enter job number “01” - press the F4 key when finished.
3. The job number screen shows two choices:

programmed and you would like to adjust the parameters that were preset for the
job or if entering a new job number.
To move around in this screen, press the “enter” key in the lower right corner of the
key pad. Once the feed length and strokes per minute are entered, then the F4 key to
exit the screen. The program now calculates the accel/decel and speed for the
parameters entered. At this time the “F4 key” review parameter should be used to
check to be sure that you entered the correct parameters.

will rotate the rolls to move the material three inches, the feed length that was

automatic mode. Press the F4 key {exit} to leave this screen.
5. Press “F3” to select automatic cycle. In this mode the servo can be run in the batch
