This number may be changed by manual operator entry when the operator has
access via key or user code depending on the configuration of the system as
detailed in section 2. It will also be changed to the required trip point for a
previously stored job when that job setup is recalled from memory and the air
system is “ON”. This number can be set in pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric
tons depending on the configuration as detailed in section 4.2.1.
Actual Pressure
The actual air pressure of the air system in psi as measured by a pressure
transducer that is an input to the system.
Fault If the air system detects an error it will be reported on this line. A fault occurs
when a hardware or firmware problem is diagnosed by the system. See section 6
for a list of fault messages and their meanings.
Status The current status of the air system. Status messages indicate what the system is
doing in the normal course of its operation. See section 6 for a list of status

Section 5.2.1 Air System On, Manual, and Off Settings
An air system can be set in the configuration menu to modes of “ON”, “MAN” (manual), or “OFF”.
The operator can not change this mode setting in the operation screen but the setting is reported on the
top line after the air system name for operator information. The ON setting is the normal setting for
each air system.
The mode setting affects the air system in the following ways:
“ON”
Jobs that are recalled from memory will automatically take the air system to the
pressure stored in the job.
“MAN” (manual)
The air pressure will not automatically change when a job is recalled. The
pressure or force setpoint can still be changed by manually entering a desired
pressure setpoint.
“OFF”
The air pressure will not automatically change when a job is recalled. The
OmniLink 5000 will not control the air pressure in any way. For units equipped
with an integrated valve with manual fallback, the manual side will be engaged
and pressure can be adjusted through a manual regulator.
