APPENDIX ACOMPUTER BATCH AND LENGTH CONTROLLERA - 67. With the controller powered on, press [Calibration] until the screen title says“CALIBRATE-1”. The display shows you the current correction factor. Press[Clear] to begin the calibration process.8. When the prompt “ENTER PROGRAM LENGTH” displays, enter the part length ofthe part you are attempting to produce. Note: The longer the part is that you attempt to calibrate on, the moreaccurate the calibration will be.9. When the prompt “ENTER MEASURED LENGTH” displays, enter the part length ofthe part you actually measured. Using an average of several measured parts willprovide the most accurate result.10. The screen title will change to “CALIBRATE-4 and show the OLD and NEWcorrection factors. The controller is now calibrated. Note: If the computed correction factor is greater than 110% or less than90%, the “Calibration Out of Range” error message displays and thecalibrate cycle is ignored.Clear Controller MemoryA quick way to clear out all of the Jobs from the controller is to clear its memory. All ofthe controllers other internal settings like correction factor and stopping reaction time willbe preserved.To reset the memory on the controller,11. Turn the device off, and then back on.12. Press [5] while the startup screen is showing. Caution: Clearing the controller memory clears out all jobs that areprogrammed into your controller!Administrative Screens and FunctionsCalibrationLength calibration is accomplished using an internal parameter called correction factor.The correction factor is used compensate for wear and manufacturing tolerances in theencoder wheel and variations in material surfaces.The calibration can be viewed in two screens. Press and release the [Calibration]key until the screen title displays “CALIBRATE-1” or “CALIBRATE-7”. Note: To reset the correction factor to 100% press [Clear] . When theprompt “ENTER CODE TO CLEAR TOTAL” displays; enter 1984 andpress [Enter] .
