OVERVIEW OF FUNCTION
Operator Control Options
The CDP-01 signal amplifier can be operated by way of the CDP-01 control panel (internal
operation) or remotely through the Parallel port (external operation).
The symbols below are used for the various operator control options in the following:
Internal operation
External operation
Special Features of External Control
When the operation modes are being controlled via
external control, the Automatic, Servo-Center, Manual keys
of the CDP-01 control panel are disabled.
If the cable to the parallel port ( -X7 ) of the CDP-01 is
disconnected, the CDP-01 can be controlled via internal
control.

Start-up / Bandwidth Ratio Calibration
The following procedure must be performed while in Manual mode with all parallel inputs low.
Before proceeding, the bandwidth of the sensor and the stroke length of the mandrel must first be
determined.
NOTE: First, setup the sensor. Refer to documentation for connecting an oscilloscope. When
performing these steps, it is important that the strip be in the same plane as the production
material.
Press and hold the Left or Right Jog key until the web
material is located in the center of the 2 sensors.
Move the sensors out such that the web material is only
in a small portion of the bandwidth of each sensor.
Press and hold the F2 and F3 keys until LEDs 5 and 6
are lit (approximately 3 seconds).
Move each sensor in an equal distance such that the
web material covers most of the bandwidth of each
sensor.
Press the F2 key until LEDs 4 and 5 are lit.
After approximately 3 seconds, calculations will begin.
F2 and F3 LEDs will light and F1 LED will turn off.
Note: Approximately one minute is required for calculations
in this procedure. If it is desired to abort this procedure, press
and hold the Manual key until LEDs 5 and 6 turn off.
The previous calibration is retained.
Half way through the calculations (approximately 30
seconds), LED 6 will turn off.
Note: If it is desired to abort this procedure, press
and hold the Manual key until LED 5 turns off.
The previous calibration is retained.
When the calculations are complete (approximately 30
additional seconds), LED 5 will turn off.

Start-up / Guide Polarity
The following procedure must be performed with all parallel inputs low or the cable disconnected.
Press the Servo Center key. Verify that the guide moves
to the center of the stroke.
If the guide moves to either end, press the Manual key
and change the Servo Center polarity.
Reference: CDP-01 Reference Manual, Section “Servo
Center Polarity”.
Press the Sensor key repeatedly until LEDs 9 & 10 are
lit.
Press the Automatic key. Verify that the guide moves to
the center of the sensors.
If the guide moves to the end of stroke, press the
Manual key and change the guide polarity.
Reference: CDP-01 Reference Manual, Section
“Changing The Guide Direction”.
Press the Manual key to place the drive in Manual mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING
An incorrect setting on the CDP-01 is often the cause for incorrect or unwanted guiding
characteristics. Faults and the procedures for rectifying the faults are described in more detail in
the CDP-01 Reference Manual, Chapter ‘Frequent Setting Errors’. Application-specific faults are
explained below.
Fault Diagnosis - Fault Rectification
Fault: The sensor moves in the wrong direction in automatic mode.
Remedy: Select ‘Manual’ mode and change the polarity (guide direction) in EdgeR sensor mode
(LED 10 lit) for drive 1 if using a CDP-01-MH or for drive 3 if using a CDP-01-MHH.
Reference: CDP-01 Reference Manual, Section: “Changing The Guide Direction”
Fault: The mandrel moves to the end of stroke in automatic mode.
Remedy: Select ‘Manual’ mode and change the polarity (guide direction) in EdgeR sensor mode
(LED 10 lit) for drive 2.
Reference: CDP-01 Reference Manual, Section: “Changing The Guide Direction”
Fault: The mandrel moves an equal distance as the strip, but in the wrong direction in automatic.
Remedy: Select ‘Manual’ mode and perform the “Start-up / Position Transducer Calibration”
again, but reverse the directions of movement for the mandrel in the steps just before
pressing the ‘F1’ and ‘F2’ keys.
Fault: The sensor moves the wrong direction when placed in servo-center mode.
Remedy: Select ‘Manual’ mode and change the servo-center polarity for Drive 1 if using a CDP-
01-MH or for drive 3 if using a CDP-01-MHH.
Reference: CDP-01 Reference Manual, Section: “Servo Center Polarity”.
Fault: The mandrel moves to either end of the stroke instead of to the center of its stroke in
servo-center mode.
Remedy: Select ‘Manual’ mode and change the servo-center polarity for Drive 2.
Reference: CDP-01 Reference Manual, Section: “Servo Center Polarity”.
Fault: The mandrel does not accurately follow the strip while in automatic mode.
Remedy: Perform the procedure “Start-up / Sensor Positioner To Mandrel Ratio Calibration”
found in this document.
