Connect Electrical Cord
Improper wiring may cause electric shock or other
serious injury if work is not performed properly.
Have a qualified electrician perform any electrical
work. Be sure your installation complies with all
National, State, and Local safety and fire codes.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of electric shock. Improper grounding can
cause electric shock. Grounding provides an
escape wire for the electric current.
The pattern controller system is equipped with a ground
terminal. Have a qualified electrician ground the system
using this terminal.
Electrical power enters through the smaller cord grip on
the right side of the enclosure (see figure). The power
cord can be further secured inside the enclosure with
the provided zip-tie and tie mount.
Installation - External Models
2. Connect earth ground to the grounding terminal.
3. Verify that the cord grip securely tightens around the
power cord. Use a wrench to tighten, if necessary.
1. Install power wires (L1/L2 or L/N) into terminals 2
and 4 on the disconnect switch. The switch accepts
solid or stranded 12 AWG and 14 AWG wire. For
ratings, see Technical Specifications, page 64.
NOTE: The power switch housing can be removed
for easy wiring using the red tab on top of the
switch.

1. Make sure the pattern controller is “inactive” or
“locked”. Press the power butting to toggle the status (if necessary).
2. Pass a product of known length past the trigger in
use.
3. Once the product has passed the trigger, note the
value displayed in the Last Product Length
indicator.
a. On encoder systems (PC-8e only), adjust
Encoder Pulses per mm until the last
product length value matches the expected
length.
Actual Pulses per mm = current pulses per mm
x distance observed (On ADM) / distance measured
NOTE: A minimum of 0.25 pulse/mm is required
to achieve 1 mm distance precision.
NOTE: The value is the length of the part of the
product that passes below the trigger in use, not
necessarily the overall length of the product.
Last Product Length displayed for trigger is 18.00 inches
long.
4. Adjust settings:
NOTE: Last product length indicator will update
according to the changes made in settings above
(step 2 only needs to be performed once).
b. On fixed line speed systems (both versions),
adjust Fixed Line Speed until the Last Product Length value matches the expected
length.
Actual Speed = current speed x distance mea-
sured / distance observed (on ADM)
