FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS!

These operating instructions are designed to familiarize
the user with the machine and its designated use.

The instruction manual contains important information on
how to operate the machine safely, properly and
most efficiently. Observing these instructions helps to
avoid danger, to reduce repair costs and downtimes and
to increase the reliability and life of the machine.

In addition to the operating instructions and to the mandatory rules
and regulations for accident prevention and environmental
protection in the country and place of use of the machine, the
generally recognized technical rules for safe and proper working

must also be observed.

The following signs and designations are used in the

manual to designate instructions of particular importance.

1.0.3

The machine/installation is designed exclusively for paper finishing
of minimum and maximum sheet sizes (see corresponding operating
instructions). Using the machine/ installation for purposes other
than those mentioned above is considered contrary to its designated
use. The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held liable for any
damage or injury arising from such misuse. The risk of such misuse
lies entirely with the user.

Operating the machine within the limits of its designated
use also involves observing the instructions set out in the
operating manual and complying with the inspection and
maintenance directives. The working temperature of the
machine should range between 0° and 55° C.

To disable the batch feature set the thumbwheels to 000.

OPERATING THE DCU-600

To use the DCU-600 as a counter only:

Clear the unit (if required) To clear the batch amount set the
thumbwheels to 000.

To use as a batch counter / totalizer:

Clear the unit (if required) Set a batch amount. The DCU-600
is now ready to operate as a batch counter and will automati­cally operate the vacuum solenoid whenever the preset batch
amount is reached. The batching device will be activated for a
preset time determined by the running speed. The on/off
switch is at the rear of the DCU-600, ON is the up position

and OFF is in the down position. The connectors for the
PHOTO HEAD (scanner) and the BATCHER (Valve, Lift
Wheel etc) are locking connectors. They cannot be installed
incorrectly. The PHOTO HEAD input is a 4 pin white nylon or
5 pin round male connector and the BATCHER is a 4 pin
round black male connector.

The current rating of the BATCHER fuse may depend on the type
of device supplied. Replace only with the type supplied with the
DCU-600. The fuse on models with modular power connectors
is mounted internal. The fuse in these models should only be
replaced by qualified personal.

CAUTION: NEVER EXCEED THE FUSE
RATING AS THIS COULD CAUSE FIRE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR PERMANENT DAM­AGE TO THE EQUIPMENT

Connect the DCU-600 ONLY to a 115 volt 15 amp
GROUNDED outlet for safety and correct operation.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Over a period of time and usage the batteries in all electronic
equipment should be replaced so the unit will continue to func­tion properly. The DCU-600 uses the batteries to protect the
stored data when the power is off. We recommend replacing the
batteries every two (2) years. We suggest writing the date of
purchase in the manual and on the bottom of the case. As a re­minder, record the battery replacement date (two years from
purchase) in both locations. You should up-date the replacement
date every two years, and have the batteries replaced by quali­fied personnel.

Use ONLY DURACELL alkaline size AA battery.

-------------------------- CAUTION --------------------------

The unit MUST BE unplugged from the 115 volt outlet before
attempting to replace the batteries or any procedure which
requires the removal of the cover on the unit. The unit should not
be plugged back into a power outlet until the cover has been
secured back on the unit; OTHERWISE, YOU MAY EXPERI-

ENCE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK or damage the unit.

SCANNER (optical sensor) The reflective modulated scanner

senses material by reflection of light (from the scanner) off of the
material being counted. This is usually mounted on a fold plate of
the folder, scanning between the frame. A magnet holds the
scanner in place. Two type of scanners are available, modulated
and non-modulated

CAUTION: The DCU series of counters and batch
counters will not work with the old style U shaped incan­descent break beam photo arm.
