Set-Up
Setting the upper current limit
After magnet cabling, set the upper current limit as required by the expected force (see overview,
feature 2). Standard setting is level 1. Level 1 corresponds to a force of approx. 45 N at a current of 1.4 A
(24 V), the standard round slider action solenoid (cat.no. 3 010 30).
Level 4 provides approx. 65 N, which is similar to the standard rectangular magnets (cat.no. 3 010 60).
On this level, the magnet can draw a current of up to 3 A. In extreme cases, up to 105 N can be supplied
at a current of 6 A.
The automatic force regulation automatically increases the current in case of a higher mechanical slider
resistance without, however, exceeding the preset limit. This limitation prevents any power supply
overload. The upper current limit should be set in such a way as to allow the organ power supply to
switch all magnets simultaneously. The power limit should be increased exclusively for those sliders
which sometimes need more force than the others.
Higher speed settings (see feature 6) may also require a higher current limit.
Teaching the required force
Once the magnet has been installed and wired, use the TEACH function to initialize the teaching process
(see feature 1).
In TEACH mode, the slider is moved back and forth until the correct working force parameter is set.
The LED chain indicates the currently required force in relation to the preset maximum current. If the
indicator is already at the upper end of the scale, there may not be sufficient resources available for the
compensation of a later sluggishness. In such a case, check the mechanical slider action and increase
the current limit if indicated (this measure requires a new TEACH process).
Error indicators
If the slider has too much friction, the LED 8 lights up permanently (see functions 8, 9). If the Error-LED
start flashing as well, the slider is either blocked completely or some of the optical sensors are defective.
In this case, please check if the slider can be moved by hand and initiate a new teaching cycle. If the
Error-LED continue to flash, please check the sensors using the diagnostics function 7.
