Ordinarily, never change the parameter setting from Inside. Outside is only for the ICE- 1000NT (without the tracing unit equipped). Setting the parameter to Outside disables the operator from loading shape data from the built-in tracing unit.
  • Page 102 CONNECTION AND SETTINGS: Setting Parameters 9) Full eye minimum size: 25.0 to 35.0 mm Factory setting: 30.0 mm This parameter sets the minimum diameter of the lenses (when the standard cup is used) that can be processed by a lens edger. Set any value from 25.0 to 35.0 mm (in increments of 0.1 mm) according to the lens edger.
  • Page 103 Factory setting: Necessary This parameter sets whether the height of the optical center value should be fixed or not when the ICE-1000 imports traced data on condition that the ICE-1000 displays no layout data on the screen. When the parameter is set to Necessary, it is necessary to modify the height of the optical center value after traced data is imported from a tracer (the corresponding button is dis- played in yellow).
  • Page 104 CONNECTION AND SETTINGS: Setting Parameters When the parameter is set to Necessary, the data is shown by a numeric button on a yellow background except when JOB data is imported from built-in memory. Unless the EP value on the yellow background is modified or confirmed, the intelligent blocker prohibits the oper- ator from blocking or saving the JOB data.
  • Page 105 CONNECTION AND SETTINGS: Setting Parameters This parameter allows the operator who are holding the lens with hands during blocking to release hands from the lens at the lowest position by stopping the holder arm with the lens blocked with the lens cup. In the case of the setting of 0.0 to 3.0 seconds: The holder arm returns to the original position after it has stopped for the set period of time.
