13 Values of proportional outputs
Proportional outputs in the ARM re-
ceiving unit are factory set: values are
given in the technical data sheet.
Maximum and minimum values of pro-
portional outputs (joystick semi-axes)
can be modified using the REMOTE
SETUP procedure (see paragraph
13.1). After modifying the values it is
possible to restore factory settings, if
necessary.
13.1 REMOTE SETUP procedure
Proportional outputs can only be calibrated by qualified and trained per-
sonnel.
This calibration is used to set maximum and minimum values for the semi-axes
of each joystick.
1. Ensure that the transmitting unit is switched off.
2. Power on the receiving unit.
3. Press the TEACH pushbutton in the receiving unit and do not release it until
the SETUP LED illuminates.
4. Insert the S-KEY in the transmitting unit.
5. Set the maximum and minimum value for the semi-axes of each joystick to be
calibrated, as described here below:
- press the START pushbutton in the transmitting unit
- to set the maximum value, move the joystick to the maximum range of the
semi-axis to be calibrated. Maintain the position and use the TEACH selec-
tor on the transmitting unit to set the desired value.
- to set the minimum value, move the joystick slightly out from the standstill
position of the semi-axis to be calibrated. Maintain the position and use the
TEACH selector on the transmitting unit to set the desired value.
- after calibrating one joystick in the transmitting unit, press the STOP push-
button to save calibrations.
Calibrations are saved in the data memory on the DTK connector.
6. To leave the procedure, press the TEACH pushbutton on the receiving unit
and do not release it until the SETUP LED switches off.
Check that the new values of proportional outputs correctly fit the machine oper-
ation and then save a copy of the data memory (see chapter 14).
