Rapid-Air STRAIGHTENER: SBX, SCX & SD SERIES - Manual (Page 8)

MAIN CONSOLE AND CONTROLLER
The main control console with controls is mounted on the cabinet of the straightener. Located
on the face of the console are five switches, one potentiometer, one push-button and one or two
circuit breaker reset switches, which are explained below.
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
This illuminated switch is the main power switch for the controller. On the 120 VAC
straighteners, it will be a toggle switch and on the 230 VAC version it will be a mushroom
push-button. It must be “ON” for the straightener to function.
2. RESET BUTTONS (circuit breaker)
120 VAC.
A. 15 amp—This is the main circuit breaker for the straightener.
B. 3 amp—This is the main circuit breaker for the “D-SUB” (25 pin) connector.
Any shorting or overloads would trip this breaker.
240 VAC.
A. 3 amp—This is the main circuit breaker for the “D-SUB” connector. Any shorting
or overloads would trip this breaker.
3. RUN/STOP/JOG SELECTOR SWITCH
A. If “RUN” was selected and the dancer control arm was raised, the straightener rolls would
rotate.
If “STOP” was selected then none of the functions would work.
If “JOG” was selected then the jog button has to be depressed to have the straightener rolls ro-
tate.
4. JOG BUTTON
Used for intermittent movement of the straightener rolls and mainly for setup. The jog speed
can be adjusted by rotating the R3 potentiometer on the 69100079 board in the control sub-
panel.
5. % SPEED POTENTIOMETER
The % speed potentiometer adjusts the maximum speed that the straightener rolls can rotate re-
gardless of the dancer arm height. It should be set to maintain a constant material feed rate
through the straightener.
