Installing cable.
The machine is fitted with a range of controls to help the operator to install cable in the minimum time with the
least risk of causing damage to the cable or tube.
These controls are identified and their function is described below.
Torque control:
This dial controls the motor torque, turn this clockwise to increase the torque (pushing force) applied to the
cable by the belts. Turn counter-clockwise to reduce the amount of torque applied to the cable by the belts.
Speed control:
This dial controls the motor speed, turn this clockwise to increase the speed of the belts (and the cable). Turn
counter-clockwise to reduce the speed.
Start:
This switch starts the belts moving in the direction selected, with the speed and torque selected by the dials
and the high/low torque switch. Whenever the power to the machine is disconnected and reconnected, it will be
necessary to depress this switch before the machine will run.
Stop:
This switch will stop the belts, the motor will remain energized preventing air pressure blowing the cable out of
the machine.
Note: It is possible to reset the distance to zero even if speed is being displayed on the screen.
Should it be necessary to replace the speed distance-measuring device please contact GMP Products.
