2.2 Counter Setup Mode

Pushing this key puts the counter in counter setup mode.

Counter setup mode is used to prepare the controller to run
a job. The large display (1) shows the batch preset on the
left-hand side and the batching output time on the right-
hand side. The decimal points in the large display (1) will
move from side to side to indicate that a parameter may be
changed. The small display (2) shows the batching type.
The suction length display (3) is active.

Change Batching Type

The minus and plus buttons move through a list of four
output devices. The chosen Type is then activated when the
batch countdown goes to zero. Feed interruption stops the
feeding of sheets for the batching time setting. The speed
up table output activates the marking table output for the
batching time duration. The MKE mode delivers a 100 ms
pulse on the MKE output after awaiting the batching time.
The last, kicker, causes a 20 ms pulse on the kicker output
after the batching time expires. The kicker output may only
be selected if the Count Source is set to delivery. The
output types are represented by animated symbols. The
sequence of frames for the animations is shown in table 5.

This is the same as in run mode.

Batch Preset Adjustment

These buttons cause the batch preset to be incremented or
decremented. The preset will be reloaded after the user
leaves the setup mode only if the value has been changed.

Batching Time Adjustment

The batching time adjustments allow the user to select the
time duration associated with the currently selected output
type. The DCT500 mode supports four output types and
times.

1. Feed interrupt has a range of 0.0 to 9.9
seconds.
2. Speed up Table has a range of 0.00 to 5.00
seconds.
3. MKE Table has a range of 0.000 to 1.000
seconds.
4. Kicker has a range of 0.000 to 1.000 seconds.

Select Count Source

The Input Count and Output Count keys select between
count at the feeder and delivery, respectively. One key
LED will always be lit in Counter Setup to show the
current count source, see table 6. If the output key is
pushed when it’s LED is on, the Batching Type is kicker,
then the DCT500 will activate chasing LEDs in the small
display signifying the start of kicker setup mode. The next
sheet fed through the kicker will be timed from leading
edge to the trailing edge and the kicker delay time will be
set to one half the sheet time. Please note, this must be
redone if the delivery speed is changed.
