using the password system, the user must be configured to have permission to change counter settings.
When a counter is turned off, it does not increase. In addition, a counter that is turned off cannot issue a
stop to the press control.
A production counter is turned on or off by first selecting the counter and then depressing the
COUNTER OFF/ON softkey. To select a counter, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the
counter that is to be changed. The cursor can be either in the COUNT column or in the LIMIT column.
Once the cursor is positioned over the proper counter, depressing the COUNTER OFF/ON softkey will
turn the counter off if it is currently on and will turn the counter on if it is currently off.
Section 5.3.1.2 Production Counters Change Limit
Each production counter has a limit setting. When this limit is reached, a top stop will be issued. The
slide will stop at the top of the stroke and further stroking will be prevented until the counter is reset or
until the counter is turned off. If “counter change limit” is restricted to Program Mode in the
configuration menu, the user must use the Key/Code Access Mode configured for his system to access
Program Mode in order to change limits. If the user accesses Program Mode by using the password
system, the user must be configured to have permission to change counter settings.
A production counter limit is changed by first selecting the counter limit and then entering the new
value. To change a counter limit, use the arrow keys to positioned the cursor over the counter limit that
is to be changed, press the CHANGE LIMIT softkey, enter the new limit using the numeric keypad.
After the correct limit is entered, press the ENT key.

be reset, press the COUNTER RESET softkey.
The counters can be configured so that resetting the Order Counter will also reset other counters. Each

configured to reset when the Order Count is reset.
