PROG – program mode
The RM2265 allows you to define a program for each mode (trimming, sec-
tioning).
For both programs, the number of sections can be preset from 1 to 100. The
cutting drive performs exactly as in CONT operating mode.
• Using the CUT MODE button, select the PROG operating mode. In the
four-digit display on the instrument, the section program mode is indi-
cated by a "P" followed by the number of preset sections, while the LEDs
for the section counter, section thickness sum and stop position go out.
Entering a program
• Use TRIM/SECT to select the desired mode.
• You can enter the desired programmed section number using the -
buttons on the control panel. Pressing the button increases the
section number by 1, and pressing the button decreases the section
number by 1. The number appears immediately in the four-digit display
of the instrument.
The maximum section number which can be programmed is 100.
Executing a program
• Select the program mode using CUT MODE and select the cutting mode
(trimming, sectioning) using TRIM/SECT. The number of sections for the
program is shown in the display.
• To start the program, push RUN/STOP and ENABLE simultaneously.
If you interrupt a section program without first exiting PROG operating
mode, the program is continued at the position at which it was stopped.
If you stop the section program prematurely and exit PROG sectioning mode
(e.g. to change the section thickness), the current reading of the program
counter is lost.
