KEY FUNCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Displays or selects a manufacturer as well as insert and flat number.
Displays or selects key code to be cut. Displays cutter angle where applicable.
Displays Maximum Space to be cut. Also shows tip type and whether key is paused
or not. If paused this key will put an l in the display to indicate a Left cut angle.
Displays Max and Min Depths. Note: there maybe invalid depths between the max
and min values that are invalid, as in Simca. If the table is paused this key will put an
R in the display to indicate a right cut angle.
Displays selected amount of depth correction, flat number, units, plunge mode and
cut feed rate.
Starts cutting operation. If the table is paused this resumes cutting after changing
angles or space position of cutter.
Corrects number entries and aborts functions.
Resets the machine, same as turning power on. Also aborts a cutting operation.
Entry keys for ID’S, Codes, Etc.
Used to enter 11th depth in code i.e. 0-10. (Displays as A)
Used to switch sign of C.F. and Calibration numbers, -5 is negative. Used also to
bypass a cut position in code. (Displays as X)
Alphabetical keysA-Zarearrangedinpairs. Thetopredlettersareaccessed
directly. The bottom section of each key is accessed by pressing the Alt key first.

STARTING THE ITL 950C
The, ITL950C should be plugged in to a switch operated power bar
with surge suppression. Check serial plate for correct machine
voltages and current requirements. Turn on the power switch lo-
cated on the back of machine. Follow instructions on the display.
(Move vise to right or left.)
12-VOLT POWER INVERTERS
THE USE OF A POWER INVERTER IS NOT RECOMMENDED WITH THE ITL950C.
There is a problem of a stable voltage supply with most inverters. When the voltage drops the
ITL950C will try to reset and can damage the electronics. A low voltage does not matter with a
drillordrivemotorbutdoesmatterto theITL950C. WE RECOMMEND CONNECTING THROUGH
A 20 Amp FUSE TO THE VEHICLE 12-VOLT BATTERY FOR MOBILE USE.
SELECTING A MANUFACTURER
Press the key to display the current lD. number. To load a new lD. number,
entertherequiredID numberand .ToselectManufacturer 167 (WEISER), press
then .The ITL950C will display MANUFACTURER 167 INSERT 2 FLAT 8, indicating the new
ID is accepted and has loaded the key specifications.
CUTTING A DIRECT ENTRY CODE (key cuts)
To load a new direct entry code press the desired cuts then press . The ITL950C will
displaythe desiredcuts, indicatingit has accepted the cuts.
CUTTING A KEY
Inthis example wewill useMFG number167WEISER andcuts 42312.
1) Select Manufacturer 167 by pressing followed by The ITL950C will display
MANUFACTURER 167 INSERT 2 FLAT 8, indicating the new ID is accepted and it has loaded
the key specs. Insert 2 should be used to hold the blank and Flat 8 is the width of each cut.
2) Select key code 42312 by pressing keys then . The ITL950C
will display CODE 42312 indicating the code has been accepted.
3) Using insert 2 put a blank in the vice. Flip up the shoulder reference arm to position the key but
remembertoput itdownbefore cutting.Tighten thevice and press thenturnthe spacehandle
clockwise until the bar graph disappears and the numbers pass thru “0000”. The cutter motor will
start and the space handle motion should be reversed to counter clockwise. Continue turning the
handle,atabout one revolutionpersecond, until thecutsare completedandthecutter motorstops.
**Do not leave the machine motor running when not cutting a key as this may damage the
control transistors.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE CUTTER HAS STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING A KEY
MAKE SURE THE MOTOR IS OFF BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY.
CALIBRATING THE ITL950C
NOTE Ill IT IS POSSIBLE TO RUN THE CUTTER INTO THE VICE WITH IMPROPER
CALIBRATION. BE CERTAIN OF DEPTH CALIBRATION. YOU MAY ABORT THE CUTTING
OPERATIONATANY TIME BYPRESSING THE RESET KEY. THIS WILL STOPTHE CUTTER
AND RETURN THE KEY TO THE IDLE POSITION. DO NOT AT ANY TIME ALLOW THE
CUTTER TO TOUCH THE VICE, AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE CUTTER.
TO CHECK CALIBRATIONS
FirstselectMFG 391 thisis“Schlage”. Next, place insert#2inthevicejaw and slideablank
ontoit.Push thekey along thetop of theinsert untilthebottom shouldercomesup hardagainst the
insert. Check the right hand side of the vice. Make sure the insert is tight against the stop screw.
Tighten theviseand press . Whenthe cut isfinished, remove thekey and measure
thedistance from the backof the blank to thebottom of the cut witha micrometer caliper.Subtract
thereadingyou get fromthe.335 thousanddepthit should beandnote thenumberdown. Measure
thedistancefrom thebowofthekeytothe center ofthefirstcut.Asabove,subtract the readingfrom
the.231 thousandspace it shouldbe.
TO ADJUST CALIBRATIONS
Press the keysto enter the EDIT mode andthen press . The
display will show EDIT CALIBRATION. Press . Now the display will show ADJUST DP BY
000. Ifinour sampleour depthreadingis .340,.335 minus .340,equals -.005.On the keypadenter
. Now the display will read –005.. To return to EDIT CALIBRATION, push the
key twice,andthenpressthe key. In our sample, ifthespacereadingis.229,subtractthisfrom

CREATING A CUSTOM ID TABLE
There are 160 custom IDs you can change yourself the range is 801 to 960. They support
the same features as the fixed IDs. The following sections explain how to create or edit your own
custom ID. The last page of the manual contains a form that should (MUST) be completed before
starting to create a new ID. Photocopy the last page there is only one.
NOTE: The following instructions are set to be followed in a consecutive manner and will
not work properly on an individual basis. Pressing repetitively will cycle you to an
individual function.
