(SWITCH-OFF) to zero. Setting or removal of the automatic switch off time (SWITCH-OFF) is done by Autec and decided by the Machine Manufacturer or by the Installer, depending on the operation and functions they need on the Machine.
If the Transmitting Unit has an LED array for the "Data Feedback" function, specific Machine conditions are signalled if they are illuminated (by way of example: load limits, limit switch). The signalled conditions depend on the settings chosen by the Machine Manufacturer. LIULK1ES0_eng-01 AUTEC - Air series...
