Step 3: Non-conductive mode test
There are three (3) Steps in this testing procedure.
Do not skip or ignore any of them!
2. If you have just completed Step 2:
a. The machine is On and the green light in the On Switch is still illuminated. If not, return to Step 1
Safety switch test procedure and restart the machine by following Instruction in Steps 1 and 2.
b. The Conductive/Non-Conductive mode is displayed in the Conductive selection. Select
Non-conductive from the touch screen display.
c. Verify Auto Run is selected.
d. The machine’s Force has been set to deliver 3,000 lb/13 Kn. If this has been changed, repeat
the instructions in Step 2, Instruction 4.
e. Verify the 1 in./25 mm Flat Anvils are installed in both the Upper and Lower Tool Holders.
3. Turn the Conductive/Non-Conductive Switch to the Non-Conductive position.
4. Keep your hands away from the tooling area. Depress the Down Footswitch. The Upper Tool Holder
should move down, the flat Anvils will contact, and the Upper Tool Holder should stop immediately.
If this machine completes the above sequence correctly, go to Instruction 4.
When operating this Hardware Insertion Machine in the Non-
Conductive Mode, be very careful! Do not depress the Down
Footswitch a second time after the Upper Tool Holder has
stopped on the down stroke with any part of your body near
the tooling area.
a. If the machine does not complete the above sequence correctly, check the touch screen
settings. If they are not correct, reset them and repeat the test. If the machine performs
correctly, go to Instruction 3.
b. If the machine does not complete the above sequence correctly, there is a failure in the
machine’s control circuit and it must be corrected by qualified personnel. Immediately
turning the machine Off by pressing the red Off Switch and turn the Main Disconnect
