Installing And Bending Conduit; Operation - Greenlee 855 Instruction Manual

Operation — Installing and Bending Conduit (cont'd)
VARIATIONS OF TYPES OF BENDS
Offsets Located by the Second Bend
If you wish to make an offset where the location of the
end of the second bend is desired rather than the start
of the first bend, then treat the bend as a saddle to
make your alignment marks and then bend it as an
offset. First enter the conduit size and type, bend type
(saddle), angle, height and length (from the end of the
conduit to the desired end of the second bend) in the
normal fashion. Dimensions will be displayed for three
marks. Lay out the first two marks on the conduit and
ignore the third. Press the OFFSET key and then press
ENTER several times until the display prompts you to
set the conduit at mark 1. Continue to make your offset
as previously instructed.
U-Bends on Deluxe Pendant
To make a two bend "U", treat it as a 90˚ stub and
offset. Enter the conduit size, conduit type, type of bend
(STUB), angle (90), and length (distance from end of
conduit to bottom of "U"). The screen will display MARK
1=... PRESS ENTER TO GO ON. Record mark 1. Next,
press OFFSET and ENTER. Then enter the height
(centerline distance between the two legs) and press
ENTER. The display will prompt SELECT LENGTH.
Press any numerical key and ENTER. The screen will
display MARK 1=..., MARK 2=.... PRESS ENTER TO
GO ON. Ignore mark 1 displayed and record mark 2.
Use mark 1 from the stub bend and mark 2 from the
offset bend and lay out marks onto the conduit as a
normal offset. Proceed to bend the conduit as a normal
offset except do not rotate the conduit between bends.

Four-Bend Saddles
To make a four-bend saddle, program it as a saddle and
bend it as two offsets. Enter the conduit size and type,
bend type (saddle), angle, height and length (from the
end of the conduit to the end of the second bend). The
dimensions will be displayed for three marks. Lay out
marks 1 and 2 in normal fashion. Place a third mark the
distance shown for mark 3 from mark 1 (not mark 2 as
usual). Place a fourth mark the distance of the desired
straight section from the third mark. Place a fifth mark
the distance shown for mark 2 from the fourth mark.
Press the OFFSET key and then press ENTER several
times until the display prompts you to set the conduit at
mark 1. Make your first bend here. Rotate the conduit
180 degrees and make your second bend starting at the
second mark. Maintain alignment and make your first
bend of the second offset starting at your fourth mark.
Rotate the conduit 180 degrees and make the second
bend of the second offset starting at your fifth mark.
