Page 135 Operation C 2.4 Material set-up Automatic adjustment of the controller to match the characteristics of the material to be scanned is carried out during material set-up (e.g. different material transparency at the optical sensors or different sound absorption in the case of ultrasonic sensors). The material set-up is the same for all three sensors.
Page 136 Operation C 2.4.1 Automatic material set-up 1. Press the F1-key. 2. Completely cover the sensor’s scanning window with the material to be scanned for approx. 2 seconds. 3. Completely remove the material from the sensor scanning window (no material over the sensor). 4.

This is different dependent on whether the sensor is being used for line sampling or for contrast sampling.
Page 139 Operation C 2.4.4.2 Material set-up For critical contrast transitions, this function enables optimum adjustment of the reflection sensor TW 54 C5 or the line sensor T 62 D 1 to the properties of the material to be scanned. In addition to the normal material setup, the offset value and gain for sensor 3 can also be set here.
Page 140 Operation C 2.5 Tear-off detection “Tear-off detection” enables, dependent on the selected sensing type (edge / contrast guiding) the following functions: 1. With web edge guiding: Detection of torn-off sections on the web edge using edge sensors IR2001/2005, US2007, … This function is activated during web edge guiding, if during operation of the web guiding system errors arise from the web edge that is being scanned.
Page 141 Operation Activate tear-off detection 1. Press the F2-key. The function “Tear-off detection” is activated. If an outward or inward tear is detected, this is indicated in the display by an exclamation mark. As soon as the guiding system is blocked, a lock appears in the actuator symbol.
