Installation

GENERAL

• Level the machine on a at rm surface.

• Position the machine in such a manner that the pump is unobstructed and properly ventilated.

• Engage the locks on the wheels, if so equipped.

• Check the oil level in the pump; add oil if necessary.

Never operate the machine when the oil level is low.

Installation

TURNING ON MACHINE

• If so equipped, like some mobile and double-chamber models, turn on the main power switch on the back

of the machine.

• Push the on/off button on the control panel of the machine.

GAS CONNECTION FOR MAP APPLICATIONS (MODIFIED ATMOSPHERIC PACKAGING)

• Connect the gas supply line to the inlet on the back of the machine.

• Maximum pressure: 1 bar.

• Anchor the gas cylinders securely to prevent them from falling over.

• Make sure that the work area is well-ventilated.

• To assure that you use the appropriate gas for your application, consult your dealer or gas supplier.

• Assure a good connection and use high-quality materials.

COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION FOR ADDITIONAL SEALING PRESSURE

• Additional sealing pressure is usually recommended for MAP applications only.

• The M40-M80 and the L10-L60 models with the option Gas/MAP are standard equipped with a compressed

air inlet.

• Extra sealing pressure is not necessary and not available for the Table-Top, M10, M20, M30.

• Consult your dealer for installation details.

• Maximum pressure: 1 bar.

• Assure a good connection and use high-quality connector.

Operation

DIGITAL CONTROL WITH LCD DISPLAY

Some Henkovac vacuum machines have a control system with just one Program (P1). Other machines have

an optional expanded control system, which can accommodate up to 9 custom programs (P1-9).

ONE-PROGRAM CONTROL SYSTEM

Henkovac machines with the One-Program control system can be programmed for the following 2 functions:

1. Vacuum time (seconds).

2. Sealing time (seconds).

• The values for vacuum and sealing times are selected by the user and saved in program P1.

• During operation, the LCD display will show symbols to indicate the active function and the progress of the

packing cycle.

• The actual vacuum pressure is indicated by the analog vacuum gauge.

Operation

PLUG AND PLAY

• When turning on the machine for the rst time:

- Running time of the vacuum pump is pre-set at 30-40 seconds and the sealing time at 2 seconds. Vacuum is indicated on the analog vacuum gauge.

• When turning on the machine after that, program P1 will contain the most-recently used settings.

• The vacuum and sealing times are easily adjusted to match the needs for the application.

OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH ONE-PROGRAM CONTROL SYSTEM

On: Turns the machine on:

• The machine will start up in the most-recently used program.

• The pump of a machine with a transparent cover will start when the cover is closed.

Off: Turns the machine off:

• When pressing the button once, the symbol will start blinking and the pump will stop after about 4 seconds.

• When pressing the button a second time, the pump will stop immediately.

• Closing the cover will initiate the cool-down phase; the machine will complete a number of

vacuum cycles before turning off automatically.

Stop-function:

• Stops the machine at any point in the packing cycle and aerates the chamber.

Reset-function:

• While programming, resets the program value to its original setting.

Press the menu button to return to the Home menu

Stops the current function and initiates the next step in the cycle:

• By pressing the of the sealing button , the vacuum function stops and the program jumps to the sealing function.

• While packing sauce or soup, the package may be sealed as soon as product boiling is detected.

Entering the desired vacuum time :

By pressing the + or – of the vacuum button, the vacuum time can be increased or decreased.

The selected value is conrmed and saved by pressing the menu button :

• Press the button to reset the original value.

Entering the desired sealing time :

• By pressing the + or – of the sealing button, the sealing time can be increased or decreased.

The selected value is conrmed and saved by pushing the menu button :

• Press the button to reset the original value.

Menu Button:

• Conrms and saves the entered values for vacuum and sealing times.

• Returns to the Home menu.

Operation

When turning off the machine with the button, the symbol will start blinking:

• The pump will stop after about 4 seconds.

• Press the button a second time and the pump will stop immediately.

• Close the lid; the machine initiates the cool-down phase and perform a number of vacuum

cycles before turning off automatically.

• These additional cycles allow any moisture in the oil of the pump to evaporate. This increases the longevity of the machine and minimizes the need for oil changes and pump maintenance.

Service Symbol:

• After a number of operating hours or packing cycles, the service symbol will briey appear on

the display when the machine is turned on. In addition, the display indicates how many hours

or cycles remain before an oil change is required.

• Except for regularly changing the oil in the pump (important!), the machine requires little other

routine maintenance.

• To reset the service interval counters after the oil change: Start machine and while the

display shows the hours or cycles, press and hold the button.

TEN-PROGRAM CONTROL SYSTEM

In addition to vacuum and sealing times, Henkovac machines with a Ten-Program control system may be programmed for several additional functions. Each of the 9 customizable programs is either:

1. Time controlled.

2. Sensor controlled.

TIME-BASED OPERATION (VACUUM GAUGE: MBAR)

• The values for vacuum and sealing time, as well as the values for several optional functions, are selected by the customer and saved in any of 9 customizable programs P1-9.

• When operating a packaging machine with a time-based program, the actual vacuum pressure is indicated by the analog vacuum gauge. The number of seconds of vacuum time remaining is shown on the LCD display.

PLUG AND PLAY

• When turning on a time-based machine for the rst time, it will start up in the PA program AUTOMATIC.

This is a pre-set factory program with 30-40 seconds vacuum time and 2 seconds of sealing time.

• When turning on the machine after that, it will start up in the most-recently used program.

OPTIONAL INSTALLATION OF A SENSOR OR SOFT-AIR

• A machine with a time-based control program can be upgraded to sensor-based operation at a later date by installing the optional sensor kit.

• The Soft-Air feature can also be installed at a later date by ordering the optional soft-air kit.

SENSOR-BASED OPERATION (DIGITAL DISPLAY: MBAR)

• When operating a packaging machine with a sensor-based program, the actual vacuum pressure is digitally shown on the LCD display in mbar (standard setting) or in % vacuum.
