PROCEDURE

1.Insert the CALIBRATION AND TEST overlay (L9660-255). If this overlay is not available, turn the machine ON with no overlay in place and refer to Figure 4 to identify the keys. The overlay ID number is momentarily displayed if the overlay is in place. The number on the display should be 255.

2.When the display reads SELECT A FUNCTION, press key #34 - OVERLAY CALIBRATE. The OVER- LAY CALIBRATE light turns on and momentarily the display reads:

OVERLAY SENSOR

CALIBRATION

Then the display changes to read:

INSERT REF OVRLY

PRESS ENTER . . .

Insert the SETUP overlay (L9660).

4.Press key #133 - ENTER. This key is not identified on the SETUP overlay. It is located in the lower right hand corner. Refer to Figure 4 above for loca- tion. The machine will begin to calibrate the eight overlay sensors.

5.If one of the sensors could not be calibrated, the display reads:

SENSOR X FAILED

ENTER TO RETRY

Make sure the overlay is lined up properly and press key #133 - ENTER. This will cause the machine to try to calibrate the sensor again. If a particular sensor continues to fail, clean the sen-

sors or remove the case top and make sure the DISPLAY board is seated all the way down on the mounting posts. Also check wiring connections. If calibration still fails, record the calibration num- bers, if possible, using the QUICK VOLTAGE CALI- BRATION procedure before removing the DISPLAY board.

6.If the calibration procedure is successful, the dis- play reads:

CALIBRATION

SUCCESSFUL

After a few seconds the display changes to read:

INSERT CAL OVRLY

PRESS ENTER . . .

7.Press key #133 - ENTER. the OVERLAY CALI- BRATE LED turns off, the machine exits the OVER- LAY CALIBRATE function and the display reads:

SELECT A FUNCTION

8.Turn the power switch SW1 to the OFF position. To use the machine, place the appropriate overlay in position and turn power switch SW1 to the ON position.

NOTE: Turn power switch SW1 to the OFF position and get the overlay that was not recognized by the power wave. Replace the TEST overlay with this overlay and turn the machine ON. The machine should recognize the overlay now. If it does not, the overlay is faulty.
