SPEED/TEMPERATURE SENSORS The Optima accepts up to three temperature sensors which can monitor surface water, live well, air, and virtually any other temperature. You do need to be careful when purchasing the temperature sensors, however. Each temperature sensor has its own "address". The sensors are labeled "Water", "T-2" (or Temp-2), and "T-3" (or Temp-3). If you want two (or more) temperature readings, you'll need to use the proper sensors. For example, you can't use two T-3 sensors. The sensors that will fit the Optima are: TS-1BK TS-2BK TS-3BK TS-12BK One sensor for "Water" temperature display. One sensor for "T-2" temperature display. One sensor for "T-3" temperature display. Two sensors for "Water" and "T-2" temperature displays.
ST-TBKOne speed sensor and one temperature sensor for "Speed" and "Water" displays. You can combine these sensors in many combinations. See the list on the following page for temperature and speed sensor combinations.

Sensor Chart

(Note: Do not use these sensors in any other combination.) ST-TBK = 1 speed sensor and 1 temperature display ST-T BK + TS-2BK = 2 temp sensors and one speed sensor ST-TBK + TS-2BK + TS-3BK = 3 temp sensors and one speed sensor TS-1BK = 1 temperature sensor TS-12BK = 2 temperature sensors or TS-1BK + TS-2BK = 2 temperature sensors TS-12BK + TS-3BK = 3 temperature sensors or TS-1BK + TS-2BK +TS-3BK = 3 temperature sensors

OPERATION

POWER/LIGHTS To turn the Optima on, simply press the PWR key. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
The PWR key also controls the lights. Once the Optima is turned on, press the PWR key to turn the lights on. Press the PWR key again to turn the lights off. To turn the Optima off, press and hold the PWR key while a "countdown" appears on the screen. The unit will shut itself off when the countdown reaches zero. Release the PWR key.
MENUS The Optima uses menus extensively to guide you through the functions and features of the unit. To use the menus, simply press the MENU key. The options on the menus let you to customize the unit to your particular needs and water conditions. Use the up and down arrow keys to move to different menus. The left and right arrow keys select and adjust menu items. If you ever get lost in a menu, simply press the EXIT key. This clears the menus from the screen.
MODES The Optima has five modes: Fastrak, digital/chart, split-chart, full chart, and window groups. To select a different mode, simply press the MODE key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Press the up or down arrow key to select the desired mode, then press EXIT key to erase the modes menu. A summary of the modes starts on the next page.
FASTRAK This feature converts all echoes to short horizontal lines on the displays far right side. The graph continues to operate normally. FASTRAK gives you a rapid update of conditions directly under the boat. This makes it useful for ice fishing, or when youre fishing at anchor. Since the unit is not moving, fish signals are long, drawn out lines on a normal chart display. FASTRAK makes a useful addition to fishing at a stationary location. CAUTION! All depth alarms and automatic features are turned off when the Fastrak feature is turned on! Full Chart This is the default mode used when the Optima is first turned on. The bottom signal scrolls across the screen from right to left. Depth scales on the right side of the screen makes it easy to determine the depth of fish, structure, and other objects. The line at the top of the screen represents the surface. The bottom depth shows at the top left corner of the screen. The word "AUTO" at the screen's top center shows that the Optima is in the automatic mode, freeing you from sensitivity, range, and noise rejection adjustments. Split Chart A split chart shows the underwater world from the surface to the bottom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged version of the right side. The zoom range shows at the bottom of the screen. In this example, the zoom range is 2X, or two times the right side's view. By pressing the ZOUT and ZIN keys, you can change the left side's zoom from 2X to 4X and back.
Digital/Chart The digital/chart shows the chart on the right side of the screen. The left side has four digital boxes containing the water depth at the top of the screen, boat speed, distance travelled (log), and surface water temperature. At the bottom of the screen is a temperature graph. (Note: Speed, distance, and temperature displays require a speed/ temperature sensor which must be purchased separately.)

Window Groups You can change the displays on the Optima by using the windows feature. This lets you use different displays for your own fishing or boating situations. This feature gives you 8 different display screens in the window groups alone. The screens available in the windows mode are divided into two or more windows per screen. Each screen of windows is called a group. Group A as shown above has the digital depth display in one window, battery voltage in another, water temperature, speed, and distance travelled. To use the windows feature, first press the MODE key. A screen similar to the one shown at right appears. Highlight the "Group" menu at the bottom of the screen. Now press the left or right arrow keys to sequence through the available groups. When the desired group appears, press the EXIT key to erase the modes menu.
AUTOMATIC When the Optima is first turned on, the Automatic feature is enabled. This is indicated by the word AUTO at the top of the screen. The Automatic feature adjusts the sensitivity and range so the bottom signal is displayed in the lower half of the screen at all times. To turn Automatic off, first press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the "AUTO" menu appears. Press the left arrow key to switch to the manual mode. The letters Man appear at the top of the screen, indicating the unit is in the manual mode. To turn Automatic on, repeat the above steps to get the auto menu, then press the right arrow key.
SENSITIVITY The sensitivity controls the ability of the unit to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other target information. High sensitivity levels enables you to see this detail, but it can also clutter the screen with many undesired signals. Typically, the best sensitivity level shows a good solid bottom signal with Grayline and some surface clutter. When the Optima is in the Automatic mode, the sensitivity is automatically adjusted to keep a solid bottom signal displayed, plus a little more. This gives it the capability to show fish and other detail. However, situations occur where it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the sensitivity. This typically happens when you wish to see more detail, so an increase in sensitivity is indicated. The procedure to adjust it is the same whether the unit is in the automatic or manual mode. To adjust the sensitivity, press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the "SENS" menu appears as shown above.

The sensitivity menu has left and right arrows, plus a horizontal bar graph. The graph gives a visual indication of the sensitivity level. The number to the right of the bar graph shows the percentage of sensitivity in use. To increase the sensitivity level, press the right arrow key. As you press the key, the menus bar graph will grow wider and the percentage will increase in value. You can also see the difference on the chart record as it scrolls. When the sensitivity is at the desired level, release the key. To decrease the sensitivity level, press the left arrow key. The bar graph and percentage will decrease. When the sensitivity is at the desired level, release the key. When you reach either the maximum or minimum limit, a tone sounds. To erase the menu, press the EXIT key. RANGE - Automatic When turned on for the first time, the Optima automatically places the bottom signal in the lower half of the screen. This is called Auto Ranging and is part of the automatic function. Typically, the range cannot be changed manually while the unit is in automatic, as shown at right. However, depending upon the bottom depth and the current range, you can change the range to a different depth. In the example screen shown below, the bottom depth has descended to a point where you can change the range to 150 feet. To do this, simply press the right arrow key while the Auto Range menu is displayed. When you're finished with this menu, press the EXIT key to erase it. RANGE - Manual The Optima gives you complete control over the range when its in the manual mode. To change the range, first make certain the Optima is in the manual mode. Next, press the MENU key and the up or down arrow keys until the range
menu appears as shown at right. Press the left or right arrow keys to decrease or increase the range. The available ranges are 0-5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 100, 150, 200, 300, 500, 800, and 1000 feet. After the desired range is displayed, press the EXIT key to erase the range menu. NOTE: The depth capability of the Optima depends on the transducer installation, water and bottom conditions, and other factors.
ZOOM Zooming the picture is a common method used to enlarge small detail and fish signals. The Optima gives you two different zoom sizes, plus a split screen zoom option. The zoom operation and adjustment is different in the automatic and manual modes. ZOOM - AUTOMATIC MODE The only way to zoom the screen in automatic mode is to simply press the ZIN (zoom-in) key. This enlarges all echoes on the screen to twice their normal size. If you press the ZIN key again, the screen is "zoomed" to four times normal size. To return the screen to 2X or normal, simply press the ZOUT (zoom-out) key until the desired zoom appears. When the Optima is in the 2X or 4X zooms, "2X" or "4X" appears in the lower right corner of the screen, showing the current zoom mode.

NO ZOOM

2X ZOOM

ZOOM - MANUAL MODE The Z-IN (zoom-in) and Z-OUT (zoom-out) keys enlarge and reduce the size of the echoes on the screen when the unit is in the manual mode, the same as the automatic mode. However, you can manually adjust the zoom when the unit is in the manual mode. To do this, press the MENU key, then press the right or left arrow keys until the "CHART ZOOM" menu appears. Now press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. This is the split-screen zoom menu. A zoom bar shows at the far right side of the screen. All echoes between the top and bottom of the zoom bar are shown on the left side of the screen. Pressing the up or down arrow keys moves the zoom bar up or down. As you adjust the zoom bar, the range changes on the left side of the screen at the same time. To return to the full-screen mode, simply press the EXIT key. This also erases the zoom bar and move zoom menu. GRAYLINE GRAYLINE lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It paints gray on targets that are stronger than a preset value. This allows you to tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom. For example, a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is shown with a narrow or no gray line. A hard bottom returns a strong signal which causes a wide gray line. If you have two signals of equal size, one with gray and the other without, then the target with gray is the stronger signal. This helps distinguish weeds from trees on the bottom, or fish from structure. GRAYLINE is adjustable. Since GRAYLINE shows the difference between strong and weak signals, adjusting the sensitivity may require a different GRAYLINE level, also. The level chosen by the Optima at power on is usually adequate for most conditions. Experiment with your unit to find the GRAYLINE setting thats best for you. To adjust the GRAYLINE level, press the MENU key, then press the up or
down arrow keys until the GRAYLINE menu appears. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Press the left arrow key to decrease the gray level or the right arrow key to increase it. The percentage of GRAYLINE in use changes as the arrow keys are pressed. The bar chart also gives a graphical indication of the GRAYLINE level. You can see the change on the screen (both on the menu and on the chart record) as you press the keys. After youve finished, press the EXIT key to erase the menu. CHART SPEED The rate echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. Its adjustable by first pressing the menu key, then pressing the up or down arrow keys until the "CHT SPD" (chart speed) menu appears as shown below left. Increase the chart speed by pressing the right arrow key or decrease it by pressing the left arrow key. The percentage of chart speed in use changes as the arrow keys are pressed. The bar chart also gives a graphical indication of the chart speed. You can see the change on the screen (both on the menu and on the chart record) as you press the keys. After youve made the adjustment, press the EXIT key to erase the menu.

CHART SPEED MENU

CHART STOP MENU
To stop the chart, press the menu key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the "CHART" menu appears as shown above right. Press the left arrow key to stop the chart. To start the chart again, press the right arrow key.
FISH ID The Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish. The microcomputer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter, thermoclines, and other signals that are undesirable. In most instances, remaining targets are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols on the screen in place of the actual fish echoes. There are four fish symbol sizes: tiny, small, medium, and large. These are used to designate the relative size between targets. In other words, it displays a small fish symbol when it thinks a target is a small fish, a medium fish symbol on a larger target, etc. The microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can't distinguish between fish and other suspended objects such as trotlines, turtles, submerged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending outwards from a group of limbs is the hardest object for the Fish ID feature to distinguish from fish. You may see Fish ID symbols on the screen when actually, there are no fish. Practice with the unit in both the Fish ID mode and without to become more familiar with the Fish ID feature. When the Optima is turned on, the Fish ID feature is automatically turned on, also. To turn the Fish ID feature off, press the menu key, then press the arrow keys until the FISH ID menu appears. Press the left arrow key to turn the fish ID feature off. To turn the Fish ID feature on again, repeat the above steps, but press the right arrow key until the "ON" is highlighted. Any targets the microcomputer determines are fish will be displayed as fish symbols. Remember, the Fish ID feature cant be used when the Optima is in the manual mode. If you turn the Fish ID feature on when the Optima is in manual, the microcomputer will turn the automatic feature on. If you turn automatic off when the Fish ID feature is on, the Fish ID feature will be turned off also. FISHTRACK The FishTrack feature shows the depth of a fish symbol when it appears on the display. This lets you accurately gauge the depth of targets. This feature is available only when the Fish ID feature is on.
When the Optima is turned on, FishTrack is enabled. To turn the FishTrack feature off, press the menu key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the FISH ID menu appears. Now press the left arrow key. Pressing it once switches the FishTrack feature off, but leaves Fish ID on. To turn FishTrack on, press the right arrow key, which highlights the "TRACK" label on the Fish ID menu. CHART SETUP The Optima lets you customize the chart screen. To do this, press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the "CHART SETUP" menu appears. Now press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. The digital depth display at the top left corner of the screen normally shows in large numbers. You can change this to smaller numbers or turn it off completely using the "Show Digital" menu at the top of this screen. You can also turn the temperature, speedometer, distance log, zoom bar, zone alarm bar,or cursor on or off using this menu. See below for more information on these items.

CHART CURSOR The Optima has a chart cursor that allows you to pinpoint a targets depth. The cursor is simply a horizontal line that extends across the display from left to right. A depth box at the end of the line on the right side shows the lines depth. In the example at right, the cursor (line) is at 29.8 feet. To display the chart cursor, highlight the "Show Cursor" on the "Chart Setup" menu, then press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Use the up and down arrow keys to move the cursor up or down to the desired depth. To turn the chart cursor off, repeat the above steps. The Optima returns to the sonar screen without the chart cursor.
DISPLAY ZOOM BAR When the unit is in the split-screen zoom mode, the zoom bar doesnt normally show on the screen. The zoom bar shows the section of water on the right side of the screen that is being enlarged on the left side. To turn the zoom bar on continuously when the split-screen mode is on, highlight the "Show Zoom Bar" on the "Chart Setup" menu, then press the right arrow key. Now press the EXIT key. If you're not in the split-screen mode, change to that mode. A screen similar to the one above appears. To turn the zoom bar off, repeat the above steps. DISPLAY ZONE BAR The zone alarm has a range bar. Any echoes that appear between the top and bottom of this bar triggers the zone alarm. This bar normally doesn't show on the screen. To turn the zone bar on continuously, highlight the "Show Zone Bar" on the "Chart Setup" menu, then press the right arrow key. Now press the EXIT key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. To turn the zone bar off, repeat the above steps. See the Alarms section for more information on the zone alarm. DIGITAL SONAR When the Optima is first turned on, the digital depth display is located at the top left corner of the screen. This display comes from a separate digital sonar built into the unit. It displays only the bottom depth. If it loses the bottom, the last known depth will flash on the display. When the digital finds the bottom, it will automatically display the bottom depth again. The digital sonar can be turned off, however this also turns all automatic features off also, such as auto sensitivity, auto ranging, and the Fish ID. feature. To turn the digital off, first press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the "DIGITAL SONAR" menu appears. Press the left arrow key to turn it off. Note: Turning the digital sonar off also turns the automatic mode off, including Fish ID, and the depth alarms.
ALARMS The Optima has three different types of sonar alarms. The first is the Fish Alarm. It sounds when the Fish I.D. feature determines an echo or group of echoes is a fish. Another alarm is the Zone Alarm which consists of a bar. Any echo that appears inside this bar triggers this alarm. The last alarm is called the Depth Alarm. Only the bottom signal will trigger this alarm. This is useful as an anchor watch, a shallow water alert, or for navigation. To adjust an alarm, first press the ALARM key. The screen shown at right appears. Follow the instructions below for setting each alarm. DEPTH ALARMS The depth alarms sound a tone when the bottom signal goes shallower than the shallow alarms setting or deeper than the deep alarms setting. For example, if you set the shallow alarm to ten feet, the alarm will sound a tone if the bottom signal is less than ten feet. It will continue to sound until the bottom goes deeper than 10 feet. The deep alarm works just the opposite. It sounds a warning tone if the bottom depth goes deeper than the alarm's setting. Both depth alarms work only off the digital bottom depth signals. No other targets will trip these alarms. If you turn the digital off, the depth alarms will be inoperative. These alarms can be used at the same time or individually. To adjust the shallow alarm, highlight the "Shallow Depth" label. To adjust the deep alarm, highlight the "Deep Depth" label. Both alarms adjust identically. We'll use the shallow alarm as an example. Highlight the "Shallow Depth" label, then press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Use the up or down arrow keys to select the number, the right and left keys to move from number to number in the depth. For example, to set the shallow alarm depth to 10 feet, press the right arrow key once, then press the up arrow key once. The changes the second "0" to a "1". Next, press the right arrow key again and press the

down arrow key once. This changes the "1" at the end of the number to a "0". The depth now shows 10 feet. Press the ENT key to accept this setting. The Optima returns to the alarms menu, showing a shallow depth of 10 feet. Now you can activate the alarm by highlighting the "Shallow Alm" label and pressing the right arrow key. With the shallow alarm set at ten feet, anytime the digital display goes below ten feet, the shallow alarm sounds. Set the deep alarm in the same manner. If the bottom depth reading goes below the deep alarm setting, the deep alarm will sound. ZONE ALARM The zone alarm is triggered when any echo passes inside the zone alarm bar, shown on the right side of the screen. To turn the zone alarm on, highlight the "Zone Alarm" label on the alarms menu, then press the right arrow key. To adjust the zone alarm, highlight the "Zone Adjust" label, then press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. To adjust the top of the zone bar higher or lower, press the up or down arrow keys while the up and down arrows are surrounding the "Upper Zone" on the screen as shown above. To adjust the bottom of the zone bar, first press the right arrow key to move the arrows to the "Lower Zone" on the screen, then use the up or down arrow keys. When the zone alarm is set, press the EXIT key to erase the menus. FISH ALARM Use the fish alarm for a distinctive audible alarm when fish or other suspended objects are detected by the Fish I.D. feature. A different tone sounds for each fish symbol size shown on the display. To turn the fish
alarm on, press the ALARM key, then highlight the "Fish Alarm" label and press the right arrow key. The unit will revert to the sonar display with the fish alarm turned on. Repeat the above steps to turn the fish alarm off. Note: If the unit is in the manual mode, turning the Fish Alarm on will also turn the automatic mode and Fish ID on, also. ADJUST CHART SURFACE CLARITY The markings extending downward from the zero line on the chart are called surface clutter. These markings are caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversion, and other natural causes. The Surface Clarity Control (SCC) reduces or eliminates surface clutter signals from the display. SCC varies the sensitivity of the receiver, decreasing it near the surface and gradually increasing it as the depth increases. The maximum depth that SCC will affect is 75% of the selected depth range. For example, on a 0-60 foot range with maximum SCC, surface clutter will be reduced down to 45 feet. There are three levels of SCC available on the Optima: low, medium, and high. When its turned on for the first time, the SCC level is low. To change it, press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the "Surface Clarity" menu appears. Now use the left or right arrow keys to change it. When you're finished, press the EXIT key to erase the SCC menu. ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) The ASP feature is a noise rejection system built into the Optima that constantly evaluates the effects of boat speed, water conditions, and interference. This automatic feature gives you the best display possible under most conditions. The ASP feature is an effective tool in combating noise. In sonar terms, noise is any undesired signal. It is caused by electrical and mechanical sources such as bilge pumps, engine ignition systems and wiring, air bubbles passing over the face of the transducer, even vibration from the engine. In all cases, noise can produce unwanted marks on the display.

Calibrate Speed You can calibrate the speed display if an optional speed sensor is attached to the Optima. To do this, highlight the "Calibrate Speed" label on the "System Setup" menu, then press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. If the digital speed display is slower than your actual speed, add a positive percentage to make it read faster. If the digital speed display is faster, use a negative percentage to make it read slower. Use the arrow keys to change the speed, then press the ENT key. Press the EXIT key to erase this menu.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit. Unit wont turn on: 1. Check the power cables connection at the unit. Also check the wiring. 2. Make certain the power cable is wired properly. The red wire connects to the positive battery terminal, black to negative or ground. 3. Check the fuse. 4. Measure the battery voltage at the units power connector. It should be at least 11 volts. If it isnt, the wiring to the unit is defective, the battery terminals or wiring on the terminals are corroded, or the battery needs charging. Unit freezes, locks up, or operates erratically: 1. Electrical noise from the boats motor, trolling motor, or an accessory may be interfering with the sonar unit. Rerouting the power and transducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat may help. Route the sonar units power cable directly to the battery instead of through a fuse block or ignition switch 2. Inspect the transducer cable for breaks, cuts, or pinched wires. 3. Check both the transducer and power connectors. Make certain both are securely plugged in to the unit. Weak bottom echo, digital readings erratic, or no fish signals: 1. Make certain transducer is pointing straight down. Clean the face of the transducer. Oil, dirt, and fuel can cause a film to form on the transducer, reducing its effectiveness. If the transducer is mounted inside the hull, be sure it is shooting through only one layer of fiberglass and that it is securely bonded to the hull. Do NOT use RTV silicone rubber adhesive or Marinetex 2. Electrical noise from the boats motor can interfere with the sonar. This causes the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or noise rejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signals such as fish or even structure from the display.

PRODUCT INFORMATION BULLETIN

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

OPTIMA 1
Single Channel Critical Speed Switch
MODEL 10-7100N4W-ALS SERIES

DESCRIPTION

The Optima 10-7100N4W-ALS Models are a series of low speed switches that monitor speed and detect motion to as slow as 6 RPM in all types of machinery and apparatus. Models are available to meet any application requirement for underspeed, overspeed or zero speed detection. The OPTIMA 1 utilizes a non-contacting proximity sensor that may be remotely located up to two miles from the control unit. Its rugged NEMA 4 enclosure, with display window, is well-suited to meet the environmental challenges of any industry. Ideal for conveyors, crushers, fans, motors and other rotating apparatus.
CRITICAL SPEED LED - Must be illuminated continuously to allow control relay to energize.

INSTALLATION

Disconnect AC power before proceeding with installation
MARGIN LED - Indicates the percentage of slip the user has calibrated the unit for: (Out = 10%, Blinking = 15%, Solid = 20%) FIRST-OUT LED - When illuminated, indicates that the OPTIMA unit has caused the shutdown. SENSOR LED - Pulses at the rate of speed being received by the sensor. TEST SWITCH - When pushed, simulates a loss of sensor signal which will drop out the control relay.
1. Make the following connections: A. Connect power cable to 120 VAC. B. Connect control cable to appropriate terminal in the motor control circuit. (See TYPICAL BELT STARTER) C. Connect the EAGLE PROX SENSOR to the connector on the OPTIMA control unit. 2. Install sensor at roller or shaft. See sensor installation sheet.

TERMINAL STRIP WIRING

The OPTIMA unit is shipped with the control cables installed on the normally open contacts. The control cables should be installed directly in the series circuit driving the motor control relay. (See TYPICAL BELT STARTER) The additional contacts supplied on the printed circuit card can be used, but the First-Out capability is only installed on the one set of normally open contacts per channel. CHANNEL 1 Sensor (+) Sensor (-) N/C st Common (1 OUT) st N/O (1 OUT) N/O Common N/C 120 VAC 120 VAC 120VAC

SETUP AND TESTING

Final calibration should be performed with the belt loaded and running at normal speed. 1. Turn SPEED control (R13) CCW until it stops. (approximately 7 o'clock). 2. Hold switch (S1) in SET position to energize relay. 3. Turn SPEED control CW SLOWLY until CRITICAL SPEED LED (LED 5) stays on continuously. 4. Continue turning SPEED control CW until MARGIN LED (LED 3) stays on continuously. 5. Turn SPEED control CCW until MARGIN LED begins to blink at the same rate as the SENSOR LED. 6. After RELAY STATUS LED (LED 7) is illuminated, return switch (S1) to the RUN position (center). 7. A momentary TEST position is provided to simulate the loss of sensor signal which releases the control relay.

FIRST OUT OPERATION

The EAGLE OPTIMA First Out capability enables the user to visually see (by an LED indicator) if the slip switch relay contacts were the first to open. Once the belt is running and the control relay in the OPTIMA unit has energized, the First-Out indication (if activated) will extinguish. If the belt begins to slip and the OPTIMA unit shuts the drive down, the First-Out LED will illuminate. This LED will stay lit until the belt is restarted and the control relay in the Optima has energized. If R1, R2, or R3 (See TYPICAL BELT STARTER) would open, this would shut the drive down and also the slip switch contacts would open. But, the First-Out LED would not be illuminated. This would allow the user to see that the slip switch relay contacts were not the first to open and cause the shutdown.
