Item Description / Repair Procedure

default values:
To reset all parameters to their default values, press and hold the ENTER
key while cycling AC power to the attached controller. When the power-up
message appears release the ENTER key.
4 Sensor in wrong position. The Digital Line Guide must be mounted 1.00”
[25.4mm] above the web surface, and its sight-point scribe marks must be
aligned with the roll center-line as shown in the application drawing on page
139. The sensor should be positioned so that the line or edge to be guided
is centered in its field of view when the guide is in Servo-Center mode.
5 Sensor polarity is wrong. The value of controller parameter 3, 4, or 50
must be changed for the selected sensor. Refer to page 17 for more
information about setting controller parameters.
