6.2 Transmission activation
The transmitter is normally in the stand-by condition. The transmission can be activated in two ways, depending on the transmitter
version:
•
radio activation
•
mechanical activation (only for Standard Transmitter)
6.2.1
Radio activation
The system is activated after a radio signal is sent from the antenna to the transmitter. The system activation (START) command is
generated by the interface unit in 2 ways:
by connecting the START/STOP input signal to the machine logic (M code)
using the keyboard, by pressing the <select> key for at least 2 seconds.
6.2.2
Mechanical activation
The tool taper is fitted with a microswitch (H). Inserting the taper in the spindle activates the transmission.
Warning:
When you return the transmitter to the tool magazine, make sure that the activation microswitch is not activated.

6.3 Transmission deactivation
The transmission can be deactivated in various ways, according to the transmitter version.
6.3.1
Transmitter with radio activation
RADIO DEACTIVATION:
1.
Machine logic
Transmission deactivated by machine command on the START/STOP input (M code).
2. From Keyboard
