6. Repeat these steps until all depth-of-bends have
been entered. Always remember to press the
ENTER key prior to advancing to the next station.
7. Now press the SELCT key to illuminate the MEMORY
light.
8. Press the RESET button. This will change the
STATION window to number “1”.
9. To double check the data that has been entered,
press the STEP key to advance the stations through
their appropriate sequence. Review the data that has
been entered. If you reach a particular station that is
incorrect, press the SELCT key to illuminate the
KEYPAD light, the SET ANGLE will show zero at this
time then press the appropriate number keys and
retain the data by depressing the ENTER key. After
correcting the improper data, press the SELCT button
to illuminate the MEMORY light and the RESET key
to reset the STATION window. Review the information
once again.
NOTE:
In order to store data into program memory
the KEYPAD light must be illuminated.
Entered data will not be shown in the SET
ANGLE window until the MEMORY light is
illuminated.
THREE-BUTTON
CONTROL OPERATIONS
“BAS” MODELS
Read each of the following sections carefully before
attempting any operation of this unit. All “BAS” models
are equipped with a three-button control board that con-
trols the semi-automatic bending function. In addition to
the three-button control board, all “BAS” models are
equipped with a remote foot switch for manual operation.
DESCRIPTION OF
CONTROLS:
NEVER HOLD IN COLORED CONTROL BUTTONS! -
To properly operate the colored control buttons, quickly
press and release. By holding the colored control buttons
in, damage to the machine and/or components may
result.
GREEN BUTTON - Activates the automatic bending
cycle. After pressing the GREEN button, the radius die
will move forward until the desired depth-of-bend is
reached then automatically retract until the die is
returned to the original starting position.
BLUE BUTTON - Automatically returns or retracts the
bending die to the original starting position. NEVER hold
the BLUE button in when retracting the bending ram.
RED BUTTON - Serves as an “Emergency Stop” button.
Automatically stops all movement of the bending die dur-
ing the automatic cycle.
REMOTE FOOT SWITCHES - Used for manual opera-
tion. The right foot switch advances the radius die to start
the bending process. The left foot switch retracts the
radius die. Either foot switch will also serve as an emer-
gency stop.
NOTE:
Practice the following bending steps without
tubing and initiate a few “dry runs” until you
understand the operating features.
USING THE “AUTO-STOP” DEPTH-OF-BEND FEATURE -
The “Auto-Stop” slide pointer is attached to the depth-of-
bend degree plate and stops the radius die at pre-set
bend depths. The “Auto-Stop” feature works with either
the GREEN automatic control button or the remote foot
switches.
