3. Preparing the machine

In this chapter you will learn how to install and adjust the labeller. After this step has been completed you will be ready to learn how the labeller's parameters can be adjusted to suit your particular production requirements.

1.1 Installation

1.1.1 Unpacking of the unit

•For removing the unit off the box, don’t hold the machine on the dispensing edge to prevent disadjustment off the machine.

•For mounting the machine, a complete system of holding tools is available. Ask your representative.

•Take care that the machine is safe and stable mounted.

•There are rotating parts on the machine. Do the necessary actions to prevent that anybody can be caught from these parts.

1.1.2 Connection of the machine

Before connecting the machine to the mains, check the correct setting of the line voltage. For the connection of sensor, applicators e.g. see the chapter connections. Fix all cables to prevent accidents and damaging of cables. Have also a look to the EMI chapter for proper machine operation.

For checking of correct operation of sensors, applicators use the check functions SCHK, I_CH and O_CH.

1.1.3 General setting

Normally the setting is done, but before operation check and note the general dispenser configuration: dispenser direction, machine type, applicator mode, and APSF function.
