AutoSet 1500 Operation
The AutoSet 1500 load monitor automatically sets high tonnage limits based on
measured load. It measures the load at two points on the press—the points where its two
strain links are mounted.
Operation is very simple. You make only two settings. This chapter tells you how to
make these settings.
This chapter also discusses when you have to change settings for different jobs. Most of
the time you won't. This is what makes AutoSet so easy to use. In general, you can use
the same two settings for all your jobs. There are some cases where you may have to or
will want to change settings. These cases are discussed later in this chapter in the section
"When you may want to change the setpoint percentage."

How to make settings on AutoSet

AutoSet requires only two settings before it calculates setpoints: selecting the sample
period and setting the percent tolerance selector. Here is how to make these settings:

Selecting the sample period

AutoSet has two different sampling periods—15 strokes or 1 stroke. As a rule of
thumb, use the 15 stroke sample period when running in continuous mode or
when the percent tolerance selector is set at values less than or equal to 50% of
full scale.
Use the 1 stroke sampling period when the percent tolerance selector is set higher
than 50%. Then a sampling period of one stroke would suffice.
If you are not sure what sample period to use, set it for 15
strokes. The 15 stroke sample period allows AutoSet to make a
more accurate measurement of tonnage. The one stroke setting is
used mainly for convenience in low tolerance jobs.
To select the sampling period, follow these steps:
1. Open the cover and find the top (position #1) switch on the DIP switch
block (S6). The switch block is located just above the "Percent Tolerance
Selector". Switch 1 is factory set to 15 strokes.
