Rapid-Air CABINET REEL: R50, R60 & R70 SERIES - Manual (Page 6)

START UP PROCEDURE
Prior to applying power to the machine the operator should review all the controls on the ma-
chine. A brief summary of the controls is listed below.
MAIN CONSOLE & CONTROLER
The main control console & controls are mounted on the end of the cabinet. Located on the
face of the console are four switches and one potentiometer which are explained below.
1. DIRECTION CONTROL— The direction control switch selects the direction the reel will
turn, clockwise or counterclockwise.
2. % SPEED POT— The % speed pot adjusts the maximum speed that the reel will rotate and
should be set to maintain a constant feed rate.
3. ON/OFF SWITCH— The illuminated switch is the main power switch for the controller. It
must be “ON” for the machine to function.
4. PAYOUT/REWIND SWITCH— The payout/rewind switch selects whether the dancer
arm will cause the reel to function at a low speed at the bottom of the arc and increase the reel
speed as the arm raises. (Payout); or cause the reel to function at a low speed at the top of the
arc and increase the reel speed as the arm lowers. (Rewinds)
5. RUN/STOP/JOG SELECTOR SWITCH— The switch selects between Run & Jog. If in
Run and the control arm is moved the coil plate will turn. If in Jog, the Jog button has to be de-
pressed for the coil plate to turn.
6. JOG BUTTON— Used for intermittent movement of the coil plate, mainly for set up, speed
is adjusted on the 69100053 terminal board on the electrical control sub panel.
7. DANCER ARM LOOP HEIGHT & RANGE ADJUSTMENT—
a. Loop Range— The loop range thumbwheel adjusts the amount of travel the dancer arm will
move to provide the full range of speed of the pallet reel.
b. Loop Height— This thumbwheel is used for setting the start position of the control arm.
The setting determines when the pallet reel will start turning. Each position will move the oper-
ating angle of the arm so that top-to-bottom travel is located to accommodate specific material
and loop height requirements.
