To turn off Stop at Mute mode, press the MUTE STOP button when the tools are open. If the

6.8 External Stop at Mute Mode Input
In some installations the Stop at Mute mode can also be selected via an external switch or
foot pedal. In the following example a foot pedal is used for the external control.
• Press/release the foot pedal. The system will enable Stop at Mute mode for one
stroke. Stop at Mute mode will be disabled at the end of the stroke when the press
returns to TDC.
• Lock the foot pedal ON. Stop at Mute mode will be enabled and remain enabled.
Unlock the foot pedal OFF. Stop at Mute mode will be disabled the next time the
press moves up to TDC. (If the press is at TDC when the input is switched off, one
more stroke will be performed in Stop at Mute mode).
When Stop at Mute is active, the Stop at Mute symbol is displayed in the Sensor window.
Note:
The operation of the Stop at Mute input is independent of the User Interface
Panel, and cannot be blocked in the Supervisor menu.
