TRIGGERS
Activation Level and Power Profiles
Correctly setting each tool's Activation Level and Power Profile in the trigger's detail
configuration screen is essential to the overall functioning of the GRIT system. When
GRIT Lock® can accurately assess whether a tool is running, the system can turn on an
associated dust collector, open associated blast gates, and quickly initiate an Emergency
Lock, but only if the tool's power is accurately captured in its configuration settings.
To further clarify, if the Activation Level is telling GRIT what level to check for, the Power
Profile setting tells GRIT when and how to check.
Tools that roar to life as soon as they are powered on have a "Normal" power profile. To
properly configure this type of tool, look at its power graph.
Normal
For a tool to be considered running in
the GRIT system, the current draw has
to exceed the value set for the
Activation Level.
In this example the Activation Level is
set to 3.0 Amps with the drill press
pulling ~10 Amps consistently when
running. Setting the Activation Level
anywhere between 1.0 Amp and 9.0
Amps would allow GRIT to accurately
determine when this tool is running.
