5.3.6 Torch ON/OFF B utton
Pressing the TORCH ON / OFF button when manual mode is activated, will either manually start or turn off the cutting process.
Note:
When the start button is activated, and the cutting sequence is initiated, the TORCH ON/OFF button will automatically illuminate
indicating the torch is on and the cutting sequence has started. When the program ends, the light will go out automatically indicat-
ing end of cut. If TORCH ON/OFF is pressed and released during the cutting process, machine motion and cutting stops. Pressing
this button again starts machine motion and the cutting sequence with any programmed delays.
HINT: You can’t use TORCH ON/OFF for manual cutting, eg. scrap lines. Manual button on push the TORCH ON and the pierce sequence will
begin. Immediately after pushing TORCH you can start pushing a directional button, the machine won’t start to move before the pierce sequence
has ended.
5.3.7 Record Time & E xtend Time
RECORD TIME
During any start or end delay of the cutting process you will see this button light up. At the same time a counter on the screen counts down
remaining seconds for current delay.
If this button is pressed during a programmed delay, the delay is terminated at once. The system memorizes the interrupted time of the delay
and uses this new delay time when run again.
EXTEND TIME
If this button is pressed during a programmed delay, the system stops counting down the delay timer and begins to extend the timer. The counter
on the screen will display this time extension. The delay will stay on until manually terminated by pressing either the START or RECORD TIME
button. The light of the EXTEND TIME button is lit during manual delay extension.
Note:
These are not available in XT2 controller.
5.3.8 Speed Up & Speed Down Buttons
Short pushes increase or decrease the actual and set speed in small steps. Long lasting pushes change the speeds at a faster rate. The pushbut-
tons will illuminate during automatic corner acceleration and deceleration respectively.
