System Menu and Key Operator Functions
Operator’s control panel
The operator’s control panel displays which fold tables the folder is currently configured to perform and also will display an error code in the event of an error. There are also many diagnostic tools available from the control panel. The last item always displayed along with the operator selectable folds is called the System Menu.
When the display reads ONLINE, press any of the keys directly below the display to access the
System Menu.
When selecting System Menu, 9 additional choices are available:
Communications – Sets the communications port mode: 1 = on line (folder accepts fold commands from the host controller); 2 = use keypad (folder overrides commands from elsewhere); 3 = none (comms port disabled); 4 = loop back test (used to test the comms port). Selecting 3 or 4 on a Max 200 system will result in the need to cycle power on the Max 200.
Infeed Jog Fwd (forward) – Drives the accordion infeed motor forward about ½ revolution to assist in clearing infeed jams.*
Infeed Jog Rev (reverse) – Reverses the accordion infeed motor about ½ revolution to assist in clearing infeed jams.*
Parameters – Displays the operating parameters of the folder. Changes can only be made by a technician entering the appropriate password.
Device Test – Allows the Key Operator the ability to energize all of the solenoids and some of the motors for diagnostics. Up to two items can be energized for up to 15 seconds before the folder automatically shuts that item off, except for motors, which won’t automatically be shut off. WARNING: Repeated on cycles of certain solenoids without allowing for cooling time may lead to failure of the solenoid and/or the circuit board. This setting is only available when the Key Operator password is active.
Assign Folds – Assigns a fold table from the master fold table list to a location on the keypad for the operator to access for online folding. Changes can only be made if the Key Operator password is active.
Assign Handfeeds – Assigns a fold table from the master fold table list to a location on the keypad for the operator to access for offline folding (hand feeding). This list is limited as not all fold tables are available when hand feeding. Changes can only be made if the Key Operator password is active.
Recent Errors – Displays the error codes of the last 21 errors recorded, with an indication of how many prints had successfully been processed by the folder between errors. The list can be cleared if the keypad password is active.
Stack Sensor – Displays the state of stack exit sensor, 0 = blocked and 1 = clear. Quit – Returns the display back to the operator fold selections or ONLINE.
* Jog functions are only available when the error light is on and the interlocked doors are closed.
