SETTING SOFT TOUCH BOARD MAXIMUM DETECT TIME SWITCHES
Locate the four-section ADD FOR DETECT TIME DIPswitch on the left side of each SOFT
TOUCH board. This switch is marked: 1, .75, .5, and .25 seconds. Set the switches to
a value that is about 2 times how long it will take for the riveting mandrel to close. The
on-board computer adds the value of these switches. For example, pushing 1 and .5 down
to the left side will produce a detection time of 1.5 seconds. This setting is not critical. A
typical setting is 1 second. Longer times might be needed for very long stroke cylinders.
For example, in the photo below the 0.25 and 1 switch is pushed down toward the top of
the board for a total maximum detect time of 1.25 seconds.
Setting all four switches to the OFF position will set the maximum detect time to 5 seconds.
DETECT BLANK TIME
After the SOFT TOUCH board is initiated, the
system will not look for continuity until the
DETECT BLANK TIME has been reached.
This time is 50% of the time you set on the
ADD FOR DETECT TIME DIPswitch.

1.
Clean riveting mandrel and lower tool.
2.
With nothing between riveting mandrel, close riveting mandrel by turning the TEST
switch at the bottom of the annunciator panel to TEST CLOSE.
3.
