WPC 1000 User Manual 1125100
Installation 2-41
The One-hand Control can be used in two different modes. In Normal mode, the press cycles
in Single-stroke whenever you push the One-hand Control button. In “Light Curtain Break”
mode, the press cycles only when you push the One-hand Control button within eight seconds
after removing your hand(s) from the light curtain. If the button is pushed after this interval
expires, the press does not cycle.
Light Curtain Break mode prevents inadvertent operation of the press when an operator is
loading or unloading parts.
The mode used for One-hand Control is determined by the setting on option switch 3 (see
Enabling Light Curtain Break Mode in a One-hand Control, page 3-28). When switch 3 is set
to OFF, One-hand Control operates in Normal mode. When switch 3 is set to ON, One-hand
Control operates in Light Curtain Break mode.
Mounting the One-hand Control
To mount the One-hand Control, do the following:
1. Shut off power to the press and to WPC 1000.
2. Choose a mounting location on or near the press convenient to the operator. The
One-hand Control should be mounted so the operator can reach it as part of normal hand
movement after loading a part. An adjustable bracket may be necessary.
3. Mount the One-hand Control, using the tapped holes on the bottom of its metal enclosure.
Refer to Figure 2-22, page 2-42 and Figure 2-23, page 2-43 for mounting dimensions.
DO NOT MOUNT OPERATOR CONTROL TOO CLOSE TO HAZARD
Mount the One-hand Control outside the area protected by the light curtain. DO NOT mount the
One-hand Control between the light curtain and the point of operation.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
