AUTO-RUN OPERATION

The continuous-run operation allows the user to set the direction of the roller rotation and adjust the roller speed by turning either of the Speed Control knobs on the tops of the cabinets.

This feature is useful for long runs that don’t require much user control and, when used in combination with the roll easel shaft and wind-up shafts, can be efficient in an auto-run mode.

Press the motor direction switch for the processing direc- tion desired.

Turn the Speed Control knob on either of the Motor Control Panels to adjust the speed of the rollers (refer to the Top Motor Control Panel page).

IMPORTANT! If the photoelectric eyes become blocked during continuos-run operation, the roller rotation will stop immediately.

IMPORTANT! Take care not to stop the motor or block the photoelectric eyes while an image is being laminated as this can cause marks in the output.

FOOT SWITCH OPERATION

The function of the foot switch is to permit the rotation of the rollers to be controlled in a hands-free manner.

This feature can be used when webbing materials onto the laminator or feeding delicate images and overrides the photoelectric safety eyes.

Pressing the foot switch runs the laminator in the direc- tion that was pressed last (the Active Directional Switch will be illuminated).

The rollers will run at the speed last set which is indicat- ed in the top display on either front or back control panels.

The speed can be adjusted when using the foot switch by turning either Speed Control knob on the top of the cabinets.

WARNING! While using the foot switch, interrupting the photoelectric safety eyes does NOT stop the lamina- tor. An audible beep will be heard, the Motor Directional Switch will be blinking and the roller speed will run in ‘slow mode’ at a speed of 2ft./min. (0.6 m/min.). Releasing the foot switch will stop the laminator.

After clearing the photoelectric eye blockage the buzzer will stop.

To resume the pre-set speed, press the blinking direction- al switch.

CHANGING FROM FOOT SWITCH OPERATION TO AUTO-RUN MODE WITHOUT STOPPING (to prevent stop marks on the substrate):

During foot switch operation (keep the foot switch pressed), then press Motor Direction switch desired on either Motor Control panel. The laminator will run at the pre-set speed.

Next, release the foot switch.

IMPORTANT! Do not stop the motor or block the photoelectric eyes while an image is being laminated as this can cause marks in the output.

THE ROTATION OF THE ROLLERS WILL STOP WHEN:

The photoelectric eyes in the front or back of the rollers are interrupted.

NOTE: This does NOT happen when the foot switch is used.

An Emergency Stop button is pressed.

An emergency tap switch is pressed.

The Stop button on the motor control panel is pressed.
