Introduction - Congratulations on your new Tech Measure 1000-measuring system ! Tech Measure 1000 is a very precise measuring system, designed to make your work as easy and efficient as possible. The system has a robust construction and has the facility to write out all relevant data on paper by means of a printer.
An overview of the function keys: 0 to 9 used F1 to F4 activates the to enter sub roll-down menu. numbers F5 to F9 activates 1. to 5. menu- points. (Arrow DOWN and ENT can be used instead A newly entered value is 1) ESC leaves the accepted with ENT.
Main Screen: On the ”Main Screen” you will find the most important information, you need. Please note that some functions, not available on your system, might be explained as well. Function keys F1 to F4’s functions Diameter.See below. Length. See below. (Here 320mm) ctive preset Hour glass, which...

Length: The large number shows the actual length, at which the saw is situated at the moment (set to zero every time it cuts). If a small number is shown (e.g. L: 400 cm), the system is running according to that. When/If this goal is met then the number is displayed “inverted”...
Editing presets: Press F1 for ”Preset Table”. Press e.g. F5 for “Table 1”. Number of cubic meters of cut timber in this preset table. Number of cubic meters of wasted timber in this preset table. Active preset is marked by a star “...

Number of cubic meters in this preset. Choose type by means of “SET” Changing the measurements: Press “SET” and enter the value wanted. Accept by means of “ENT” or “SET” or regret by “ESC” Choose the colour code by means of “SET”. Zero setting of production Printing out the settings for the preset: in this preset.
Diameter Calibration: Press “F2” for “CALIBRATION” Press “F5” for “DIAMETER” After which the following box is indicated in which the measured diameter must be entered. Means of calibration: First, a suitable tree is felled (without too many branches and preferably straight). Afterwards run further than the distance between the point of measurement (knives/rollers) and saw.
Editing the calibration table: Press F2 for Calibration Press F7 for diameter table Table no. The coordinates of the point chosen (no. of pulses; diameter in mm). Points of the table. Point chosen (square is filled out). In the above example three points have been put into the diameter calibration table of which the middlemost point has been chosen (the square is filled in).
Length Calibration: Press F2 for calibration. Press F6 for length. Box to key in the measured length (in cm.) How to carry out length calibration. First fell a suitably large tree, run 20-30 cm forwards and cut of the root swelling, run thereafter forwards 3-5 meters, after which the length run through is measured and must be entered into the box (in cm.).
General parameters: Press F3 for SET UP. Press F5 for GENERAL. When the menu ”Tree profile” is highlighted, the sub-points will be shown by pressing the ARROW –TO-THE-RIGHT,, and hidden again upon pressing the ARROW- TO-THE-LEFT. Sub-points to the “Tree profile”. The Calibration-table, according to which the measuring is done (and which can be viewed/ adjusted under “CALIBRATION”...

Display contrast (not shown): The contrasts (light strengths) on the screen can be entered as a number from 1 to 100. 100 is equivalent to the yellow colour lighting up powerfully. 1 is equivalent to the yellow colour lighting up faintly. Bright light should be avoided, unless the light conditions make it absolutely necessary!!! Due to the fact that it is a very strongly lit display, the choice of a high light strength can result in the points on the screen, which are in use the whole time (or almost the whole time) will “stay...
Manoeuvre Parameter: Press F3 for SET UP. Press F6 for MANOEUVRE. The following display is shown. Forward parameter (settings) is display- ed by pressing on ARROW-down, until “Forward” is displayed and thereupon pressing ENT (See next page). Same procedure with the reverse- parameters.

Toggle forwards When "toggle forwards" is activated, you must push once on the forward-button and the rollers will continue to target. When you push again on forwards or reverse, if there are no pulses from the measuring wheel or knives/rollers are open, the rollers will stop. Tm1000 Usermanual Ver.4.10.doc 21-09-05...

KNIFE-STEP: The knives can ”be kept on the go”. See figure. Use with rollers forwards: Use with rollers backwards: Here is determined when the knife-step is to be applied. Knife step open time: Knife step closure time: E x.: 30/100s ec . 30/100s ec .
Roller Pressure: Here the harvesting head producer has chosen one of the adjustment principles, shown below. Adjustment principle 1: Here the rollerpressure is controlled with a proportionally controlled pressure reduction. On the curve there are 2 points, one for minimum pressure and one for maximum pressure.
Proportional upper knives. : The pressure used to Opening pressure open upper knives. : The pressure used to Closing pressure close upper knives. Max. delimbing pressure: Min. delimbing pressure: Min. Diameter and Max. Diameter are used for setting the correct pressure in proportion to the actual diameter.

(see following page), you must key in a “Time”, which is long enough to never be exceeded, not even by the trees taking the longest time to saw. Techno-Matic A/S Tel: +45 96987711 tm@techno-matic.dk Granlidevej 22, Hornum Fax: +45 98661822 www.techno-matic.dk DK-9600 Aars Usermanual rev. 4.04...
Auto Tilt The function "Tilt" offers you a lot of possibilities. If you e.g. choose "No" to both Auto tilt up and tilt down, the tilt function works completely manually. If you choose "Yes" to both, it all works automatically. You can also choose a combination (semi-automatic).
Extra pulses by the tree: In order to be sure that the tree is sawn completely through. Extra pulses by the pieces: In order to ensure that the saw cuts completely through the single pieces, when they are cut off, a number of EXTRA saw-pulses, that the saw is to run, can be entered here.

By pushing ENT, when this bar is highlighted, a window appears, in which you can enter a new value. The new value is accepted by pushing ENT. Every time you saw, the machine opens for oil to the saw during this period. TM1000 Usermanual Ver.

See encoder-details: For each of the four encoders (“pulse emitters”) details are shown regarding the pulse counts. Each encoder has two exits (A and B), which send pulses (according to a staggered pattern) to the module/control box on the felling head. P: Position for the relevant movement (is controlled from A and B).

GOOD TO KNOW !!! It is a good idea to take back-up and a print-out of your production and data every day. Should the system “get stuck”, meaning that the main screen does not appear when turning on the system, you can retrieve your data in the following way: Turn off the system, connect the printer, keep the 0-key pressed down, while turning on the system.
