Setup & Operation Control Setup SECTION 2 SETUP & OPERATION Control Setup The Accuset 2 is programmed for operation with Super model sawmills by default. If your sawmill is a Standard model, the Accuset needs to be reprogrammed. Follow the instructions on page 2-8.
Control Setup 2.1.1 Contrast Adjustment When the Accuset is first powered on, the Accuset 2 splash screen is displayed for a few seconds. Push and hold the Up or Down button to adjust the display contrast as desired for your lighting conditions.
Page 32
Setup & Operation Control Setup Adjust Gradient. If the Accuset is factory-installed, the Gradient Setting is already set to match the gradient of the transducer sensor (labeled "GRD" on the sensor). If the Accuset has been installed in the field, the transducer replaced or the Accuset control has been reset to Factory Settings, the Gradient Setting should be adjusted.
Page 33
Setup & Operation Control Setup Press At 12 Inches (or 305mm in metric mode). The Accuset control should indi- cate the actual position of the blade above the bed rails. To check this setting, move the saw carriage so the blade is positioned above a bed rail. Raise the saw head until the blade is positioned 12"...
Setup & Operation Control Setup 2.1.3 Other Settings Set Kerf. The Kerf setting is optional. The default kerf setting is ’0’. You can use the kerf setting to automatically factor the blade thickness into the increment setting. Factoring the kerf into the program will allow you to saw boards that are the actual thickness of the pro- grammed increment.
Page 35
Setup & Operation Control Setup See Figure 2-6. You can change other settings for the Accuset including the language used on the display, the unit of measure, and PID values.
