UNOCODE 299 Copyright Silca 2002 15 4.3 CUTTING BY ELECTRIC CONTACT The UNOCODE 299 key-cutting machine is equipped with a low voltage electrical contact device which permits the cutter to individualize the key blank as it approaches the cutter during the cutting phase (fig. 15). Fig. 15 This technical solution permits the operator to secure the key to the more appropriate side of the 4 faced clamp (A, B, C or D) therefore improving the grip on the key, eliminating the need of pins and/or adaptors. With the electrical contact card enabled, depth calibration is automatically calculated when the cutter touches the keys profile during the cutting process. Electrical contact is guaranteed for keys in steel, brass, silver nickel, Zamak or iron (with or without nickel- plating). Improper use of electric contact • it is not permitted to cut ultralite anodized aluminium keys, plastic keys or any keys with materials that do not have electrical conductivity by means of electric contact. Attention: for these types of materials, insert standard cutting. • cuts cannot be repeated on the same side of the key when electric contact cutting is used. All data cards provided by Silca are in the machine’s memory. The cards are enabled or disabled for code cutting by electric contact at Silca’s discretion. The data cards are divided into 3 types which are distinguished by special symbols shown on the display (asterisk “*” and “+” ). 1) Clamp: 100/A START • data card with standard cutting (press START) 2) Clamp: 100/B START+ • data card with standard cutting (press START) • alternative: electric contact cutting press SHIFT+START 3) Clamp: 100/* START+ • data card with electric contact cutting (press START) • alternative: standard cutting press SHIFT+START A - B: indicate the side of the clamp + : indicates the alternative activated with the SHIFT+START keys * : indicates that the key can be clamped to any side of the clamp when the data card is enabled for electric contact. Operating keys: SHIFT+START: changes the cutting procedure (‘standard’ or ‘by electric contact’) and starts cutting. START: begins the cutting process. ATTENTION: the alternative selected with the SHIFT+START keys (‘standard’ or ‘by electric contact’) is maintained as long as the chosen data card is in use. When the procedure has been selected, simply press START for successive cutting operations.

UNOCODE 299 Copyright Silca 2002 19 5.2 [1] COPY BY CODE One part of the machine’s memory is used for the data cards. A data card is a database of cutting ‘spaces’, ‘depths’ and angles for all the keys in the machines data base. The number of data cards is increased periodically when the ‘Silca Code Program’ is updated. The updates can be bought separately and easily installed to a P.C. then transmitted over to the machine. As the memory can be rewritten, the Personal Computer updates the data cards automatically. STANDARD data card (S.): comprises the ‘spaces and depths’ database as de- scribed in the introduction to Ch.5 "OPERATING GUIDE", page 18). The source of this information can be the SILCA Car Book, ‘Silca Code Program’, catalogues and other documents available from Silca. USER data card (U.): personalized data cards can be created by means of a function available in the ‘Silca Code Program’. Cards can be stored from the P.C. to the machine’s memory and the operator may recall them at any time. 1) enter the data card No. (e.g.: STANDARD = 50). 2) enter the cutting data. (ver. DB : 1) gives the number of the Silca board database ver- sion installed on the machine. . . . . . . . : the dots on the display represent the maximum number of cuts that are permitted. The same data card can be used for a number of keys with different numbers of cuts. If a key is used with fewer cuts than the dots shown on the display, simply enter a partial combination. 3) Press ENTER. Clamp: V100/* The special symbol (asterisk) means that the cuts will be made by electric contact (ch.4.3, page 15) therefore it is unnecessary to select the clamp side.

UNOCODE 299 Copyright Silca 2002 21 The reason for the conflict between certain cuts is explained simply in the case shown. With regard to the cut that originated the message it can be seen that between the two deep cuts (8) and the constant angle (100˚) the intermediate cut (0) would be removed. This happens when the cutting angle N (Normal) is not made variable by means of the type of cut L (Laser) (page 22). Fig. 20 The new drawing of the key shows how for the same cutting process (80846) the cutting angles are automatically calculated by the conjunction of the cutting base with a straight line. This aspect, admissible with certain car keys, is more commonly known as ‘the ideal cutting line’. ATTENTION: in this example it can be seen that the ß angle is less than 45˚. This could cause serious problems with a lock, making it difficult or impossible to place the key into the cylinder or remove it.

22 Copyright Silca 2002 • Types of cut All the data cards provided by Silca have the type of cut pre-set according to the original parameters. The types of cut possible with UNOCODE 299 are: Normal, Flat, Laser and Vertical. NORMAL For conventional car and door keys. FLAT Mainly used for car keys where the cut edges are rounded to facilitate the movement of the blades when the key is put into the lock. LASER Conjunction of the cutting angles is determined automatically by the machine, allowing cuts to be made with variable angles; this facilitates the smooth entry of the key into the lock, prolonging the working life of the key. VERTICAL Necessary for special keys with small bits (Silca art. FO19P, FO21P...) where a special cutter is required. When this cutting method is used a special angled cutter is needed. EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CHANGE THE TYPE OF CUT: All the technical data regarding the types of cuts stored in the machine’s memory can be changed according to the user’s requirements. 1) enter data card number (e.g.: nr.50) 2) before entering the cuts press the combination of keys SHIFT+ENTER. 3) enter the “L” type cut by pressing the SHIFT+L keys to set the laser type cut. - the letter in brackets (L) indicates the type of cut recommended by Silca. NOTE: for certain cutting methods the standard cutter U01 must be replaced with a specific cutter (Ch.4.6 "Changing the cutter", page 16). 4) enter the combination and proceed with the operations described in ch.5.2, page 19.

UNOCODE 299 Copyright Silca 2002 25 5.4 USE OF THE MACHINE WITH A PERSONAL COMPUTER In the previous pages the UNOCODE 299 key-cutting machine has been analysed in all its parts from the point of view of manual use, i.e. operating from the keyboard incorporated in the machine to cut keys by code. It is now necessary to examine the very important facility with which it is possible to connect up to a PC in order to receive data directly from the computer. Taken for granted that the user is in possession of some Silca software, the following are the possibilities available. The ‘Silca Code Program’ makes it possible to carry out searches by code for cutting data and to store the information in a special work queue (or file). This is a special function which has been created to help those users who wish to work with a number of simultaneous searches. After having carried out a code search, the information is simply filed in the special work queue then everything is transferred to the UNOCODE 299. The information transmitted by the Personal Computer cannot be altered manually. Each line transmitted corresponds to a stage in the cutting process for one or more keys. As described above, for each cutting process transmitted the number of pieces to be cut is set¸ a ‘+’ sign shows when the cycle is finished. The ‘+’ sign warns the operator that the last cutting operation has been carried out. Should a work queue be interrupted, turn off the UNOCODE 299. When the machine is turned on again and the is called up, the list reappears, starting from the first line. 5.4.1 [3] QUEUE FROM PC The data received from the PC are presented in one form only: 6 CODES RECEIVED 1+ AB100 [234] 3 2 - AB101 [234] 3 3 - AB102 [234] 3 • quantity of keys in queue transmitted • key code • card number • quantity of keys • the “+” mark indicates that all three keys (or more) have been cut. • the “-” mark indicates that the total quantity of keys referring to its code have not been cut.

We recommend to operate the machine with the speed that is set (4000). If required, the operator can adjust the carriage approach speed from a minimum of 1000 to a maximum of 5000. 5 - MINIMUM DISTANCE: The number shown on the machine’s display represents the X axis distance between the key blank shoulder and the beginning of the first cut (fig. 30). This function is extremely important with keys that require cuts on both sides as it ensures precise positioning on the key 2nd side. Fig. 30 The set figure is 50 hundredths of a mm, which can be varied between min.0 - max. 99 hundredths of a mm. ATTENTION: settings that are too high may render precise cuts impossible, with the following message on the display: 6 - MODIFY KEYS STOP: Normally the machine does not require key shoulder stop adjustment. If required, it is possible to modify the key’s shoulder according to the modification made to the key shoulder (fig. 31). If the operation is confirmed (with SHIFT+ ), 4 items are required: thickness X: measurement of the shoulder stop to be cut is expressed in hundredths of a mm (min.0 - max.99). height Y: height of the shoulder read on the key using a calliper, expressed in hundredths of a mm. E.g.: • Y = 3 mm = 300 hundredths depth H: depth of the part to be removed, expressed in hundredths, referred to the measurement of the key blank. length L: movement of the cutter axis referred to X.

UNOCODE 299 Copyright Silca 2002 55 8 DISPOSING OF MACHINE To dispose the machine, it must be rendered unusable by carrying out the operations listed below: • deactivation of the electricity supply; • separation of the plastic and metal parts; When these operations have been carried out, the machine can be disposed of according to the current regulations in the country of use. WASTE DISPOSAL CEE standards state special regulations for waste disposal (*). Machine The 299 UNOCODE is made up of recyclable parts. Recycling is ecologically recommended. Packing The packing in which the machine is transported is made of cardboard and wood therefore can be re-used if intact or if dismantled used as combustible materials. Warning! Take great care when dismantling the packing as it contains nails, which could cause injuries. We recommend to bend the nails downwards into the wood with a hammer or to completely remove the nails disposing them in authorized metal recycling centres. The packing is considered solid urban waste and must not be thrown into the environment but placed in special cardboard collection bins. Waste deriving from key cutting The waste deriving from key cutting is classified special waste, but is still classified as solid urban waste, as metal wool. Such waste must be disposed of in special collection centres according to the classification assigned to them by the current EEC law. The circumstances which transform metal residue from solid urban waste into contaminated or toxic noxious waste are listed in the appendices to the current European Union regulations regarding disposal of such waste. To facilitate disposal of the waste generated by the machine during its operation and of the machine itself at the end of its useful life, refer to identification of the main types of waste by the relative European CER code: CER code - Electronic circuit boards 16 02 16 - Iron filings and swarf 12 01 01 - Paper and cardboard packaging 15 01 01 - Wooden packaging 15 01 03 - Plastic packaging 15 01 02 (*) Waste is any substance or object deriving from human activity or natural cycles, disposed off or to be disposed off.
