Manually Selecting Conduit Type And Size; Basic Programmed Bending - Greenlee 855GX IntelliBENDER Manual De Instrucciones

Operation (cont'd)

Manually Selecting Conduit Type and Size

The 855GX can automatically detect EMT, IMC, and
rigid conduit as well as determine 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2",
and 2" conduit sizes. When bending with these types of
conduit, using auto mode is recommended. However, in
some cases you may want to manually set the bender
for the type of conduit being used (for example, PVC-
coated rigid conduit).
To manually set the bender, follow these steps:
1. From the home screen, press the button next to
"SET UP".
2. From the setup screen, press the button next to
"MAN SET".
3. Select the conduit type to be used. (Selecting
"AUTO" returns the bender to auto mode, where the
type is automatically detemined.)
4. Press NEXT to advance to the screen to select the
conduit size.
5. Select the conduit size to be used. (Selecting
"AUTO" returns the bender to auto mode, where the
size is automatically detemined.)
6. Press NEXT to go back to the setup screen, or
to go back to the home screen.

Basic Programmed Bending

You can preset an angle into the computer memory and
the bender will automatically stop at that angle.
Note: Angle will be with springback factored in.
1. Select the angle.
a. Use ANGLE SELECTp or ANGLE SELECTq
on the pendant to change the programmed
angle. A single press changes the angle by 1°.
Holding down an ANGLE SELECT key changes
the angle rapidly in 5° increments. Pressing
CLEAR resets the programmed angle back
to 0°. This angle will stay in the memory until
CLEAR is pressed, a new angle is selected, or
the power is turned off.
b. Use one of the common angles displayed in
the LCD display (4). To select an angle by this
method, press the selector button (3) next to the
desired angle shown in the display. This angle
will stay in the memory until CLEAR is pressed,
a new angle is selected, or the power is turned
off.
The programmed angle will remain in the pendant
display for about two seconds and then revert to
the current shoe position. The programmed angle
can also be viewed on the LCD home screen in the
"STOP ANGLE" box.
2. Press BEND until the bender stops. The bender
may slow down before reaching the selected
angle. This is normal. When the bender stops at
the programmed bend, the pendant display blinks
twice with the programmed angle. To continue
a bend, reset the programmed angle with the
CLEAR button, or increase the programmed angle
to be greater than the actual shoe angle with the
ANGLE SELECTp button.
