ARROW Keys - The arrow keys allow you to move the cursor on the control screen. This
aids in the various times when the control is giving you a list of information to choose
from.
INS Key - When in edit this toggles the cursor between insert and exchange modes.
DEL Key - When in edit this key will delete the character the cursor is highlighting.
MFR - This stands for Manual Feed Rate. This four position switch allows you to select
how fast you want the manual axis jog rate to be and also the dry-run feedrate. “0" is the
fastest feedrate and ”3" is the slowest feedrate.
U/V On - EX21 controls do not let you move the U or V axis without first pressing and
holding down this key while manually jogging the U or V axis. MARK21 controls have a
UVW key that stays on when pressed once.
X, Y, U, V, Z, plus and minus - These buttons allow you to manually move the axes on the
machine in the desired directions (plus or minus). The motion rate will be set by MFR
(Manual Feed Rate).
ST - This stands for Sensor Touch. This allows the operator to edge find by jogging the
wire into the workpiece until the wire is flush with the part. NOTE: There is a more
accurate way of edge finding using the G80 code. See page 14-3 for details about ST.

ACK - Means acknowledge. Whenever the control generates an alarm message on the
control screen and the buzzer goes off, this key must be pressed to acknowledge the fact
that you understand the message.
HALT - This key can be pressed to temporarily stop the actual running of a program.
RST - Means restart. After halting or when the control automatically stops the program’s
operation maybe due to wire breakage, M00 or M01 this key allows you to continue from
where the machine stopped.
OFF - This key will stop the program permanently. There will be no way to continue
without going back to the start point and running the program again. You must be careful
when using this key , since you will not get a “second chance”. The machine will just
stop. We recommend that you get in the habit of ALWAYS pressing the HALT key to
stop the activation of a program. Then, if you still want to completely stop the program,
press the OFF and ACK key.
ENT - Means enter. For program operation, it activates the program to be run.
