THE CONTROL POD DISPLAY

THE DIAGRAM BELOW SHOWS THE UFO DIGITAL DISPLAY. WITH THE MOTORS, FEEDER 
AND AIR OFF, OPERATE THE 

MODE

SWICH UNTIL THE SPACING LAMP IS 

ON

. THE IN-

FORMATION IN THE DISPLAY NOW REPRESENTS:

VACUUM

- THE VACUUM ‘ON’ TIME. VARIABLE BETWEEN 25%(1/4) AND 80%(13/16) OF 

THE SHEET LENGTH IN 12.5% (1/8) INCREMENTS.

GAP

- THE GAP BETWEEN SHEETS IS ADJUSTABLE, RANGING FROM 1 TO 99.

DWELL

- THE BATCH DWELL IS IN 50% (1/2) SHEET INCREMENTS FROM 50% (1/2) TO 

450% (4 1/2).

TO SET A GAP BETWEEN THE SHEETS, ROTATE THE 

VALUE

DIAL UPTO A VALUE OF 99. 

A GAP OF 64 WILL CREATE A GAP OF 1 SHEET.

SETTING THE SHEET SPACING,

SETTING THE VACUUM ON THE SHEETS (IN 

SPACING

MODE)

THE VACUUM ‘ON’ TIME CAN BE VARIED ACCORDING TO THE WEIGHT OF THE STOCK 
BEING DRIVEN IN TO THE REGISTER TABLE. A VALUE OF ‘0’ REPRESENTS A SUCTION 
TIME OF 25% (1/4) SHEET LENGTH, WHERE EACH INCREMENT IS EQUAL TO 6%(1/16) 
OF THE SHEET. THE MAXIMUM DISPLAY IS ‘9’. OPERATE THE DIGIT SWITCH UNTIL 
THE  NUMBERS THAT REPRESENT THE VACUUM ARE FLASHING. USE THE VALUE DIAL TO
ADJUST THE VACUUM TIME.

SETTING THE DWELL TIME (IN 

SPACING

MODE)

THE DWELL CAN BE VARIED TO ADJUST THE FEEDER INTERRUPTION TIME WHEN
BATCHING. A VALUE OF 1 IN THE 

DWELL

DISPLAY PRODUCES A PAUSE EQUIVALENT TO 

50% (HALF) SHEET LENGTH. A VALUE OF ‘9’ PRODUCES A PAUSE EQUIVALENT TO 
450% (4 1/2) SHEET LENGTH. OPERATE THE DIGIT SWITCH UNTIL THE  NUMBERS 
THAT REPRESENT THE DWELL ARE FLASHING. USE THE VALUE DIAL TO ADJUST THE 
DWELL TIME.
