Function #1 (Power On)
Pull this button OUT prior to starting the machine.
Function #2 (Emergency Stop-Power Off)
Once the machine is running, pushing this button in will stop all functions and
completely shut down the machine including the engine. If the shear is in the down
cycle it will freeze it in position. The shear will default back to the top or home
position once the engine or motor is re-started. This button is also used to shut the
machine down when not in use. Failure to push this button in prior to storage, even
overnight, could result in a dead battery on gas engine models.
H. MOTOR START (Green button)
You must pull the Emergency Stop-Power On button out before the Start
Button will function.
Press this button momentarily to start the Electric Motor machine.
Press and hold this button until the engine starts on a Gas Engine model.
MAIN CONTROL CABLE
(See Figure 6)
A. The main control cable is the communication cable for the Manual Control Panel
described above and the PLC Computer Batch and Length Control Computer
covered in Appendix B. This cable must be connected to one or the other in order
for the machine to operate.
B. The Main Control Cable exits thru the panel below and under the left corner of the
Manual Control Panel. There are three cables there and it is the larger diameter plug
of the three. It has a key and slot configuration that must be aligned before the
male/female connection can be made on the Manual Control Panel or Batch and
Length Control Computer. This prevents misalignment and damage to the pins.
Manual Control Panel Connection
Connect the Female end of the Main Control Cable to the panel mounted male
connection located at the bottom left corner of the Manual Control Panel. Make sure
that the key and slot are aligned and carefully start the threads on the connection and
turn clockwise until snug.
Batch and Length Control Computer Connection
Connect the Female end of the Main Control Cable to the panel mounted male
connection located in the bottom of the computer on the right side. Make sure that
the key and slot are aligned and carefully start the threads on the connection and turn
clockwise until snug.
