4. When the value you want is shown in the LED display, save your setting by pressing the
Reset/Select button until the “Angle/SPM” indicator is lit.

6. Power down WPC 2000, then power the unit back up to enable the new setting.
Determining the 90° Stop Time
The 90° stop-time test is required to set the proper safety distance for personnel guarding
devices including light curtains, Two-hand controls, and type-B movable barriers. The test is
performed at the press’s most critical stopping point– 90°– and provides the Ts + Tc value in
the ANSI safety distance formula. If possible, run this test in Continuous mode (see next
section). If your press does not have a Continuous setting, perform the test in Single-stroke as
instructed in Performing the 90° Stop Test (Single-stroke Mode), page 3-18.
Performing the 90° Stop Test (Continuous Mode)
1. Install the heaviest upper die in your press. Adjust the counterbalance for ram weight, if
your press has a counterbalance.
2. Set the Stroke Select switch to “CONT,” and start the press.
3. Press the Reset/Select button repeatedly until the “90° Stop Test” indicator becomes lit
(see Figure 3-8).
INCORRECT SAFETY DISTANCE DUE TO INCORRECT STOP TIME
• Perform a 90° Stop Test any time you change the Stop-time Limit of WPC 2000.
• Recalculate the safety distance based on the new Stop-time Limit and adjust or reinstall
safeguarding devices according to the new safety distance (see Calculating the Safety
Distance, page 3-19).
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
