Auto-Calibrate
1. Place the Calibration Key in Jaw A and align with the shoulder gauge (Fig. 1). After
aligning the Calibration Key, lower the shoulder gauge to the rest position. And press
“Continue”.
The carriage will slowly move in toward the Calibration Disk. The disk will make contact
at a number of points on the Calibration Key. This phase of the program takes about 60
seconds. When this phase is completed the Tiger SHARK™ will stop and beep 3 times
while changing screens.
2. The screen will read “*Set tool for tip adjustment*”. Remove the Calibration Key, turn
it around, and gauge it with the tip gauge (Fig. 2). Press the “DO TIP” button. The
machine will continue to self-calibrate by repeating the touch off routines it did for the
shoulder gauge. This phase will take about 30 seconds. After it finishes the machine will
beep 4 times to tell you it has completed the self-calibration. When prompted, click
“Confirm”. The screen will change to the main Auto-Calibrate menu.
3. Remove the Calibration Key and Calibration Disk. Install the No. CW-14MC cutter
and a standard shoulder gauge key blank (eg. Schlage SC1). On the menu, click DSD,
then type in “Schlage” or DSD number 60. Follow the instructions on screen, and cut
5-depths in all positions. If a Schlage key blank is not available, select another standard
shoulder gauge key blank, and use the appropriate DSD number and cutter.
4. Use a key micrometer (such as the HPC Ultimate Micrometer, No. SKM-2D) to
measure the depths of each cut. Compare the depths obtained to the depths listed in
HPC’s CodeSource® program, or other reliable source. All cuts should be within
.002-inch (.05mm) of the manufacturer’s specification (.260-inch for a Schlage 5-depth).
In most cases no further adjustments will be needed. If the cuts are not within the
.002-inch tolerance, then run the Auto Calibration again and cut 5-depths on a new key
blank.

1.4 Preparing To Use The Tiger SHARK™
Power Requirements: 120 VAC, 60 hz, 4 amps OR 240 VAC, 50hz, 4 amps
Before using the Tiger SHARK™key machine, read this manual in order to gain a thorough understanding of all of its
capabilities. You will receive peak performance and efficiency from your machine by fully comprehending all of its functions.
Make sure that the power outlet that the Tiger SHARK™will attach to is properly wired, i.e., grounded with correct hot and
neutral leads. If the outlet is not wired properly or power from the available outlet is not regular (i.e., you experience frequent
power brownouts), it may cause the Tiger SHARK™to malfunction. While the Tiger SHARK™contains an internal surge
protector, it is recommended that you use a surge/brownout protector when operating the Tiger SHARK™.
