cushions. Slot AS5 controls hydraulic overloads. {Hydraulic Overload trip point control is
currently unavailable}. In Figure 4.3, slot AS1 has already been assigned for control of a
counterbalance. If it is necessary to add, change, or modify an Air Slot assignment, move the
cursor to the Air Slot to be modified and press the CHANGE SETTING softkey. A list of
available assignments for the Air Slot will appear. Move the cursor to the desired assignment
and press the SELECT softkey.
After a control function has been assigned to an air slot, the system must be configured. This
configuration sets parameters, such as minimum air pressure, maximum air pressure, and
tolerance limits. The number and types of parameters will depend upon the function assigned to
the air slot. To configure a particular air system, move the cursor to that system and press the
CONFIGURE SYSTEM softkey.
