An orange signal field appears in the lower left corner of the display. The signal field shows the deviation of the material width measured with regard to the specified target width (+1.5 mm in the example).

The material width has fallen below the specified error limit or has exceeded the specified error limit.

An red signal field appears in the lower left corner of the display. The signal field shows the deviation of the material width measured with regard to the specified target width (+3.2 mm in the example).

The material width could not be determined.
Three dashes are displayed.

Possible causes:

  • The web width measurement was not calibrated.
  • At least one web edge has not been detected as the material is located outside the measuring range of the sensor or the material completely covers the sensor measuring range.
