KEY FUNCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
STARTING THE ITL 950C
The, ITL950C should be plugged in to a switch operated power bar with surge suppression. Check serial plate for correct machine voltages and current requirements. Turn on the power switch located on the back of machine. Follow instructions on the display. (Move vise to right or left.)
12-VOLT POWER INVERTERS
THE USE OF A POWER INVERTER IS NOT RECOMMENDED WITH THE ITL950C . There is a problem of a stable voltage supply with most inverters. When the voltage drops the ITL950C will try to reset and can damage the electronics. A low voltage does not matter with a drill or drive motor but does matter to the ITL950C. WE RECOMMEND CONNECTING THROUGH
A 20 Amp FUSE TO THE VEHICLE 12-VOLT BATTERY FOR MOBILE USE.
SELECTING A MANUFACTURER Press the key to display the current lD . number. To load a new lD. number, enter the required ID number and . To select Manufacturer 167 (WEISER), press then . The ITL950C will display MANUFACTURER 167 INSERT 2 FLAT 8, indicating the new ID is accepted and has loaded the key specifications.
CUTTING A DIRECT ENTRY CODE (key cuts)
To load a new direct entry code press the desired cuts then press . The ITL950C will display the desired cuts, indicating it has accepted the cuts.
CUTTING A KEY
In this example we will use MFG number 167 WEISER and cuts 42312. 1) Select Manufacturer 167 by pressing followed by The ITL950C will display MANUFACTURER 167 INSERT 2 FLAT 8, indicating the new ID is accepted and it has loaded the key specs. Insert 2 should be used to hold the blank and Flat 8 is the width of each cut. 2) Select key code 42312 by pressing keys then . The ITL950C will display CODE 42312 indicating the code has been accepted. 3) Using insert 2 put a blank in the vice. Flip up the shoulder reference arm to position the key but remember to put it down before cutting. Tighten the vice and press then turn the space handle clockwise until the bar graph disappears and the numbers pass thru "0000". The cutter motor will start and the space handle motion should be reversed to counter clockwise. Continue turning the handle, at about one revolution per second, until the cuts are completed and the cutter motor stops. **Do not leave the machine motor running when not cutting a key as this may damage the control transistors.
CUTTING A CAR KEY TO CODE
To cut the sample car key code KZ92 press then then move the currsor using the up down arrow key to GM 10C 95+ and press . Insert the suggested insert 1FL and install the suggested key P1106 or equivalent. Now press Turn the handle clockwise until the blocks disappear and the numbers count down to 0 and the cutter starts. Now turn the handle counterclockwise untill the first side of the key is cut and the cutter stops. Turn the key over and press cut, turn the handle clockwise until the blocks disappear and the numbers count down to 0 and the cutter starts. Now turn the handle counterclockwise untill the second side of the key is cut.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE CUTTER HAS STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING A KEY MAKE SURE THE MOTOR IS OFF BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY.
CALIBRATING THE ITL950C
NOTE Ill IT IS POSSIBLE TO RUN THE CUTTER INTO THE VICE WITH IMPROPER CALIBRATION. BE CERTAIN OF DEPTH CALIBRATION. YOU MAY ABORT THE CUTTING OPERATION AT ANY TIME BY PRESSING THE RESET KEY. THIS WILL STOP THE CUTTER AND RETURN THE KEY TO THE IDLE POSITION. DO NOT AT ANY TIME ALLOW THE CUTTER TO TOUCH THE VICE, AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE CUTTER.
TO CHECK CALIBRATIONS
First select MFG 391 this is "Schlage". Next, place insert #2 in the vice jaw and slide a blank onto it. Push the key along the top of the insert until the bottom shoulder comes up hard against the insert. Check the right hand side of the vice. Make sure the insert is tight against the stop screw. Tighten the vise and press . When the cut is finished, remove the key and measure the distance from the back of the blank to the bottom of the cut with a micrometer caliper. Subtract the reading you get from the .335 thousand depth it should be and note the number down. Measure the distance from the bow of the key to the center of the first cut. As above, subtract the reading from the .231 thousand space it should be.
TO ADJUST CALIBRATIONS
Press the keys to enter the EDIT mode and then press . The display will show EDIT CALIBRATION. Press . Now the display will show ADJUST DP BY 000. If in our sample our depth reading is .340, .335 minus .340, equals -.005. On the keypad enter . Now the display will read –005. . To return to EDIT CALIBRATION, push the key twice, and then press the key. In our sample, if the space reading is .229, subtract this from .231 and the answer is .003. Now press and the display will read 003. Press the key twice and follow display instructions to return to home.
Correct depth calibration is more critical than space calibration, but the more exact they both are, the better the resulting keys will work. Remember that the allowable range for calibration is from +0.127 inches to-0.127 inches. The machine is factory set for 0 calibration error so you must be careful not to enter a depth value that would allow the vise to contact the cutter. Double check your calibration numbers before entering them and if possible make small changes until you are familiar with this operation. All calibrations are done using the insert as the stop. When this has been completed, raise the reference arm up against the shoulder of the key to ensure that it has not been moved or bent out of position. The reference arm should make light contact with the blank shoulder, if not, loosen the two 5/32 allen head machine screws holding the reference block to the vice block and move the reference arm against the key shoulder and retighten the screws.
Menu of key temporary functions

SETTING TEMPORARY DEPTH CORRECTION
1. The correction function affects the depth of all cuts. A negative correction factor makes cuts deeper while a positive correction factor makes cuts shallower. The range is from -.009 to +.009 inches in .001 inch steps. Press then a number from through . Use the key to indicate a negative value. Press to correct your entry and press to set the correction.
A special note regarding the correction function. If the resulting depth is out of the absolute limits of 0.110 to 0.465 inches, that cut will not be made.
CHANGING FLAT NUMBER
2. The flat number is used to select the width of the bottom of a cut. There are 10 possible flats to choose from and they are all user definable.
