The position indicator displays an “N” (a new loca-
tion is to be assigned) and the action indicator dis-
plays an “A” (a batch can be added). To enter the
last batch in this kit, the operator presses the 

<6>

and 

<ENTER>

 keys:

INDEX  #2               L   KIT#1
SELECT BATCH:   6           D
LENGTH                2.0
QUANTITY              1

With this last batch, the example kit is completely
defined at this point. The operator presses the

<RUN>

 key to continue or the 

<ESC>

 key to go

back to the kit select menu. A 

<RUN>

 key press

brings:

QUANTITY: 0        KIT#1

ENTER 0 FOR MANUAL
OR # FOR AUTOMODE

If the operator presses the 

<ENTER>

 / 

<RUN>

key (and accepts “0” for the default quantity), the
machine will start up in the manual mode (outputs
1 kit with a 

<RUN>

 key press and waits for an-

other key press). If a quantity is entered, the ma-
chine will output the kits continuously until the given
quantity is complete. The next screen:

The manual mode screen:

#  OF KITS 0            KIT#1

PRESS ESC TO BREAK
PRESS RUN TO PROCEED

The top line keeps a running count of kits com-
pleted thus far and indicates which kit is process-
ing. A 

<RUN>

 key press gives the kit run screen:

#  OF KITS 0            KIT#1
CURRENT BATCH   XX
PIECES LEFT            X
PRESS ESC TO STOP

The top line indicates the number of kits completed
thus far and the identifying kit number. The sec-
ond line indicates which batch number is currently
executing (on smaller, faster pieces this screen
will quickly update as the batch pieces are output-
ted). The third line displays the number of pieces
left to complete the current batch. Once the kit is
completed, the machine waits for input from the
operator:

#  OF KITS 1            KIT#1

PRESS ESC TO BREAK
PRESS RUN TO PROCEED

In our example above, a kit consists of a 6.0" piece,
three 8.0" pieces and a 2.0" piece. Therefore, in
the example above, 5 pieces would output and then
wait for operator input from the keypad. The auto-
mode is quite similar to the manual mode with the
exceptions that there is no pause between kits and
that a running count of the kits left until completion
is displayed:

#  OF KITS 0            KIT#1
KITS LEFT                 XX
CURRENT BATCH   XX
PIECES LEFT            X

Where the kits left indicator displays kits to be pro-
cessed. The quantity of kits must be entered each
time it is called up and processed; it isn’t retained
from teh last run.

The quantity of kits must be entered each time it is
called up and processed as it is not retained from
the last run.
