(2)Specifications of mode

(A) Number of mode : 4 modes

(B) Number of steps : 50 steps (old type) or lOO steps(new ver.)

(C) Capacity of each step : 4 (old type) or l (in new ver.)

(3)Functions of keys for chainless system input mode

*EXPLANATION OF CHAINLESS INPUT (In old type)

Total numbers of a specific step cannot exceed the number selected at the top.

Refer to the following example.

Step Number Speed Drum D.N. SDC

8 10 Middle

5 High

1 Low ON

On the above example, in step 8, total number is 10 and the first 5(10,9,8,7,6)revolutions

speed will go up middle, second 4 revolutions(5,4,3,2) speed will go up to high and after 1

revolutions speed will be low with one movement of pushing drum.

In this case, the total numbers of revolutions in step 8 are 10 revolutions (in the machine this will be 4 time, 10¡¿4 = 40 revolutions).
