DECODE KEY
The Tiger SHARK
™
is equipped with a feature to decode cut keys. Using the Decoder Plate, it will
touch off on each cut 3 times to determine the depth. The machine is programmed to account for worn
keys. If the cut is decoded as a non-standard depth for the specified DSD, the software will select the
nearest shallower depth.
The differences in the depths of a cut are only thousandths of an inch (or hundredths of a millimeter).
While the Decoder Plate is produced to very tight tolerances, a change of even a .001" (.025mm) can
result in an incorrect decode.
Because of this, the machine needs to calculate from a known starting point. Therefore, it is imperative to
calibrate the Decoder Plate prior to decoding a key. NOTE: this operation does not calibrate the machine.
1. To calibrate the Decoder Plate, select the TOOLS button from the main menu and select the
DECODE button.
2. At this point you have the choice between calibrating the Decoder Plate and decoding a key.
Select Decoder Plate CALIBRATION.
