GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CAROUSEL MATE CUTTER

This product must be grounded. This is especially important during a malfunction or breakdown as grounding provides the path of least resistance for the electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of more than 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel. This product must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the product.

Use these arrows to increase or decrease numbers

The “enter button” completes data entry

The “delete button” clears the counter value to zero


-7-

SETUP FUNCTION FOR CUTTER OPERATION

To enter the “setup mode” for the cutter, follow the sequence as described below:

THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE “MASTER MENU” IS TO TURN OFF THE POWER. WHEN POWER IS TURNED BACK ON, THE MACHINE WILL BE IN NORMAL USER OPERRATION MODE.

Following is a listing and description of the various setup screens:

Unit of Measure 0=Imperial, 1=Metric. Enter the value of the unit of measure you wish to use. Factory Default is 0, Imperial which is feet and inches.

Slow Down Preset The slow-down preset is not used on this machine.

Press and HOLD the “left arrow” button

Press and Release the “up arrow” button

Release the “left arrow” button

You will now see a Splash screen

Press the “left arrow” button to select the Master Password entry screen and proceed to enter the Master Password. NOTE: if you don’t know Master Password, call Vidir Support @ 866-821-2647

You can now use the “left and right arrows” to navigate through the various setup screens for the Carousel Mate Cutter


-8-

Calibration Factors Three screens present calibration factors. Your calibration factor has been factory pre-set to accurately measure carpet. This value should only be altered if you have product that has different measurement characteristics than regular carpet. The screens Carpet1, Carpet2 and Vinyl are available. Only Carpet1 is used for the Carousel Mate. The factory default setting accurately measures standard carpet without any alteration.

Enter New User Password As the name suggests, this is where you can change the User Password. This is not the Master Password. To disable the password feature, set this value to zero (not recommended). User password is required at startup and whenever the password timer requires it.

Password Timer Valid values are 0, or some number greater than 30. This number is the length of time in seconds the Carousel Mate will wait after the last valid key press, before it will reset the machine and require a User Password entry. A zero value here, disables the timer feature.

Factory Reset This value is normally 1. If you set it to zero, the controller will immediately require you to cycle the machine’s power. The default factory configuration for User Password (0), Password Timer (0), and Factory authorized calibration Factors for all products, will be set on power up.


-9-

PASSWORD PROTECTION The Carousel Mate is equipped with a “Password Protection” feature. When this feature is turned on, each time the machine is turned on, the user is prompted to enter a password. The factory preset disables this feature. To enable this feature (recommended) it must be set up. Following the previous procedure, navigate to the Enter New User Password screen. Then…

Press the “left arrow”, a cursor appears in screen

Press the “up and down” arrows to increase or decrease the numbers

Press the “left arrow” to move to the next digit.

When the last (left most) digit is reached, pressing the “left arrow” again will start at first digit again

Press the “enter button” to complete the task
