6.0 Operation
6.12.2.1 False Clamp
The false clamp plate is an optional attachment, which reduces the creasing of paper caused by the
clamp. The disadvantage of using the false clamp plate is that it limits the smallest cut dimension.
The computer must know when the false clamp plate is installed on the machine to prevent
the backgauge from crashing into it. In the false clamp screen, use the up and down arrow keys to
toggle between ON or OFF to indicate the presence of the false clamp plate, and press ENTER.
6.12.2.2 Time-out
The time-out parameter allows the operator to set the amount of idle time before the display and line
lights turn off. The choices are 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes. In the time-out screen, use the up and
down arrow keys to toggle to the desired time-out, and press ENTER.
6.12.2.3 Push-out
Normally, whenever the backgauge is sent to a larger dimension, a five-inch (127mm) push-out is
performed to aid the operator in accessing the paper. In some situations, it may be necessary to turn
this feature off. It is recommended that this feature be left on whenever possible. In the push-out
screen, use the up and down arrow keys to toggle to the on or off status as desired, and press
ENTER.
6.12.2.4 Accuracy Adjust
This parameter provides a means for adjusting the accuracy of the backgauge. To change the
accuracy, send the backgauge to 2 inches (50.8mm) and cut some paper. Measure the paper, and
type in what you actually measure. The computer will calculate the amount of error and will
compensate.
6.12.2.5 Knife Count
The knife count parameter allows the operator to reset the knife alarm and the lube alarm. The knife
alarm displays a message that notifies the operator to change the knife. The lube alarm displays a
message that notifies the operator to have the machine lubricated. The lube alarm will also display
the name and phone number of the Challenge dealer from which the machine was purchased.
NOTE: The alarms do not prevent normal operation they are simply reminders.
There are three functions within the knife count parameter: Clear Count, Knife Alarm, and Clear
Lube. Select the desired function and press ENTER. See the following descriptions for an
explanation of each function.
Select Clear count to reset the knife counter when a knife change has been performed.
Select Knife Alarm to enter or change the knife stroke alarm value. When this value is reached, the
display will alert you to change the knife and reset the knife counter. Knife alarm values for the Titan
230 are factory set at 2,500 cuts. However, you may want to change this value based on your
specific machine applications. See 7.3 Knife Care Tips, page 36 for help in choosing a knife alarm
value for your machine.
Select Clear lube to reset the lube alarm after performing the lubrication requirements as shown in
the Titan 230 Technical Service and Parts manual. Note: The number of cuts needed to set off the
alarm is programmed at the factory and cannot be changed.
6.12.2.6 Machine count
The number displayed is the total number of cuts made by the machine.
