Sensor 1-4
Filters
0.0 dly/ext Enter positive number to extend sensor signal, negative number to delay
signal. Extend signal to eliminate signal chatter when coating wire goods,
delay signal to skip hangers.
Outputs 4 Choose 4, 6, or 8 trigger outputs. Use 4 or 8 for Sure Coat Modular Gun
Control System, 6 for Sure Coat Mini Stack System, and 4, 6, or 8 for
Versa-Spray systems.
Trigger 1-8

Sensor 1-4
- See Figure 1. Connect trigger outputs to sensors. Any combination can be
set. In the example shown, each output triggers two spray guns. Outputs 1
and 2 spray one side of part, and outputs 3 and 4 spray other side. Part 1
triggers all four outputs, but part 2 only triggers outputs 1 and 3.
NOTE: On the run menu, outputs 1-4 are shown as A-D in normal type, and
outputs 5-8 are shown as A-D in reverse type.
Conveyor Run
Delay
0.0 Enter number of seconds it takes for parts ahead of sensors to start moving
after conveyor is started.
Conveyor Stop
Delay
0.0 Enter number of seconds it takes for parts in booth to stop moving after
conveyor is stopped.
External
Interlock
Disable Choose Disable or Enable. Can be disabled if encoder is used. If clocking
method is set to Timer, then external interlock is automatically enabled and
cannot be disabled.
Pickoff
Setpoints
Show Choose Show or Hide. When hidden, only Lead and Lag Setpoints are
displayed in Setpoint Adjustment menus.

Encoder Pulsing Stopped Monitor
If your system does not have an external conveyor
interlock, the triggering controller must monitor
encoder pulses to indicate when the conveyor has
stopped.
NOTE: This function only works if during the
Configuration procedure you set the external interlock
to Disabled.
To configure the monitor, set the encoder alarm value
to a value that is slightly greater than the elapsed
time between encoder pulses:
NOTE: If the conveyor speed changes as part of the
daily operation, perform this procedure at the
conveyor’s slowest operating speed.
1. Set the Conveyor Run and Conveyor Stop delays
to 0.0.
2. Start the conveyor. The encoder should be
pulsing.
3. Press the Manual key to turn on the spray guns.
4. Decrease the Encoder Alarm delay value until the
spray guns start to turn on and off repeatedly.
NOTE: If the Encoder Alarm delay value is less
than the time elapsed between encoder pulses,
the spray guns will turn on and off repeatedly.
5. Increase the Encoder Alarm delay value (0.1
second at a time) until the spray guns spray
continuously.
6. Add 0.2-0.4 to the Encoder Alarm delay value to
make sure that the spray guns will not turn off if
the conveyor speed varies slightly.
NOTE: The spray guns will turn off if the time
between encoder pulses exceeds the Encoder Alarm
delay value. The next time that an encoder pulse is
received, the spray guns will turn on again.
