OPERATION
Travel Limits
Each time that you turn on the HS15
plus
, the carriage moves to the keypad
end of the plotter and touches the bumper. This tells the controller the
plotter travel limits. The carriage then backs away from the bail arms to
allow you to open the bail arms for material loading.
The HS15
plus
will not plot or slew beyond the travel limits, nor can it
“crash” or lose position. Instead, the “clipping” feature allows a job
exceeding the plotter’s limits to be truncated. Any portion of the job
which does not fit on the material is not plotted.
A “clipped” job is indicated by
RUN CONT
or
RUN SINGLE
lights on
and a three-second beep. Lights are returned to normal state when a key
is pressed.
Power Up
When the HS15
plus
is turned on, the following sequence occurs:
1. The light labeled
POWER
comes on. A short beep sounds, and the
lights over
RUN CONT
,
RUN SINGLE
, and
SWIVEL KNIFE
blink on,
then off.
2. As the HS15
plus
performs self-check tests, the lights over the
RUN
CONT
,
RUN SINGLE
, and
SWIVEL KNIFE
keys flash twice, and two
additional beeps sound.
3. When the self-check tests are completed, the lights blink and the
beep sounds three times.
4. The plotter goes off-line in tangential knife mode. Only the Power
light remains on. This is the initial setting at power-up.
