!

Warning!

This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

1 Introduction

• Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shutoff
valve of the applicator.

• Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage.

• Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting.

• In operation, moving parts are easily accessible.
This applies especially for the zone, where the pad is moved between the starting and the labelling position.
During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry distant. Before any
manipulations in those areas, close the shutoff valve.

• The device may only be used in a dry environment, do not expose it to moisture (sprays of water, mists, etc.).

• Do not use the device in an explosive atmosphere.

• Do not use the device close to high-voltage power lines.

• Perform only those actions described in this operating manual.
Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or service technicians.

• Unauthorized interference with electronic modules or their software can cause malfunctions.

• Other unauthorized work on or modications to the device can also endanger operational safety.

• Always have service work done in a qualied workshop, where the personnel have the technical knowledge and
tools required to do the necessary work.

• There are various warning stickers on the device. They draw your attention to dangers. Warning stickers must
therefore not be removed, as then you and other people cannot be aware of dangers and may be injured.

i

Note!
Please keep the original packaging in case the applicator must be returned.

!

Attention!

The device and printing materials will be damaged by moisture and wetness.

 Only set up label printer with applicator in dry locations protected from moisture and splashes.

3 Operation

3.1 Standard Operation

 Check all external connections.
 Load the material. Ensure that the locking system is locked  "Operator's Manual" of the printer.
 Switch on the printer.
 Press the feed key on the printer.

A synchronization feed is released. The processed labels have to be removed manually. After a few seconds the
printer carries out a short backfeed to position the front edge of the next label at the printing line.

i

Note!
The synchronization also has to be carried out when the print job has been interrupted with the cancel key.
Synchronizing is not necessary when the print head was not lifted between print jobs. This also applies if

the printer was powered down between print jobs.

 Start a print job.
 Start the labelling process via PLC interface.

Error messages during labelling process are shown in the display of the printer  Error Messages.

3.2 Cleaning

!

Attention!

Never use solvent and abrasive.

1 2 3 4

 1: Clean the pressure roller with multi

purpose cleaner.

 2: Use glass cleaner to clean the reex

sensor.

 3: Clean the fan area with a soft brush

and/or a vacuum cleaner.

 4: Clean the outside surfaces and

transport belts with a multi purpose
cleaner.

Fig.5 Mounting
To clean the applicator and printer it's sometimes necessary to turn away or even dismount the applicator from the

printer.
Do not adjust the setting screws, throttle valves or other alignment elements. This will enable use of the applicator
directly after cleaning.

1 Pull out the locking bolt (3) and put the base plate (2) into the opening (1).
2 Let the locking bolt (3) snap into the holes (4).
3 It may be necessary to lay the printer on its side or back to gain access to the bottom of it.
4 Put the hole of mounting plate (9) over the pin (3).
5 Connect SUB-D 9 male connector (8) to the female connector (6) of the printer.
6 Swing the applicator to the printer and turn in the screw (10) loosely.
7 The holes in the mounting plate (13) must be aligned to the holes in the printer base plate (11).
8 Place the screws (12) and tightening them.
9 Tighten screw (10).

!

Attention!

Initiation, adjustments and changing of parts is to be performed by qualied service personnel only.
 Initiation/Service Manual Applicator

!

Attention!

 Disconnect the printer and applicator from the power supply before mounting the applicator!
 Ensure the printer is in a stable position!

3.4 Power Supply of the Devices

1 3 542

Fig.6 Power supply of the applicator and printer

!

Attention!

The connected power cable delivers the full voltage to the printer module.
The switch on the applicator only provides power to the applicator.

1. Plug in the power supply cable (2) from the printer into power input module of the applicator.

2. Plug in connector (4) of the support cable (3) from applicator into power input module of the printer.

3. Switch on the applicator via the on switch (1).

4. Switch on the printer.

i

Note!
If only the printer and not the applicator is switched on the error message: Air pressure ins. will
appear.

5. For better cable guidance and organization use the four self-adhesive cable-clips (5) within the scope of the
delivery. These are freely applyable to suit the individual setup of the system.

3.5 Start Signal via External Sensor

The start signal for applying labels can be initiated by an external sensor that is connected to the 3-pin female
connector (1) directly on the applicator.

1

Fig.7 Connector for the starting sensor of the applicator
The start of the printing order is still initiated via the I/O interface of the printer.

!

Attention!

Danger of crushing to hands and ngers by the swinging motion of the applicator!
When releasing the locking pins be aware of the downward motion caused by the weight of the applicator.

1. To dismount the applicator (5) for cleaning or loading material pull both locking pins (3) outward from the control
unit.

2. Raise the applicator (5) with pulled out locking pins (3) so that the they snap into the holes (4) of the mounting
plate (2).

3. Remount the applicator (5) by pulling out the locking pins (3) and moving the applicator toward the printer untill
the locking pins (3) can snap back into the holes (1) of the mounting plate (2).

13

4 Adjustments

Note!

The alignment of the applicator to the printer is xed according to factory standards and should not be

altered to ensure a safe label application. Only the angle to the printer may be changed.

4.1 Setting the Angle to the Printer

1

max 30°

Fig.9 Setting the angle to the printer

Warning!

Take care when loosening screw (1). The device drops due to its own weight.

 Loosen screws (1) to adjust the angle and thus the depth of the applicator to the printer.
 Set the angle or depth of the product and tighten the screws (1).  4.2 Adjust the Setup of the Printer

4.2 Adjusting the Setup of the Printer

The conguration parameters of the applicator can be found in the menu Setup > Machine param.

Speed

Note!
The speed of the belt and the label transportation will set by the parameter Support del. OFF.
The value is displayed in ms and not in real value used mm/s.

Note!
It's necessary to set exact the values in the table.
Deviations will result in automatic defaulting back to the standard value of 100.

Parameter to set the speed of the belts.
Four steps are available.
100 ms : 100 mm/s speed of the transportation belt
150 ms : 150 mm/s speed of the transportation belt
220 ms : 220 mm/s speed of the transportation belt
300 ms : 300 mm/s speed of the transportation belt

Fig.10 Label transport / Reex sensor
In the setup the operation mode "Blow on" must be selected to gain access to the parameter "Blow time".

After reaching the reex sensor (1) and the detection point (3) the transportation process continues a certain time to

ensure that the label (2) it is applied by the pinch roller (4). The time and distance of this process can be adjusted vie
the parameter:

> Blow time
A higher value means the label will be transported further.
200 ms represents about 10 mm.

Follow up feed of the label

After the label (2) has left the the reex sensor area (3) the application will continue transportation will continue to

apply the label to the product. This length of this transportation process can be ajusted via the parameter:

> Support del. ON

4.3 Signals

• The signal DREE will start the print the label and move it to the reex sensor before the pinch roller.

• The signal START will feed the label past the reex sensor including the follow up transportation of the pinch

roller.
In the apply-mode "Apply - Print" will print the next label of the print job after it has applied the previous label.

In the apply-mode "Print - Apply" the printing of a new label depends on the signal DREE.
