    SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Section 2 - Operating Instructions Before operating the 4207D it is necessary to be familiar with the press controller and load indicator features and controls. Programming the Controller The Model 7052 controller used with the 4207D system features user defined segment programming (8 segments maximum).

  • Page 12: Sample Controller Program

    SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Configuring the controller to perform a sample load program involves defining a series of ramp and dwell segments. Once the program exists, the program is executed by pressing the Run button. To suspend the program the Run/Hold button may be pressed briefly (Hold light illuminates) and restarted by pressing the Run/Hold button again.
