MOUNTING CONFIGURATION CONVERSION

LEFTHAND/RIGHTHAND FIELD CONVERSION

Mounting configuration conversion involves the “mirror image” reversal of the pivot arm assembly that holds the inking system and the tension arm assembly which provides the printing pressure. Indexing printers require the additional reversal of the index ramp and repositioning of the index ring.

Universal Non-Porous CLP Coders are assembled at the factory for either right-hand or left-hand mounting. If field conversion is required, the following steps will guide you through the conversion process.

PIVOT ARM & INKING SYSTEM ASSEMBLY CONVERSION

1- Loosen the Pivot Arm Adjustment Knob and rotate the Inking System away from the Print Drum slightly. 2- Remove the Inking System Assembly from the coder by removing the 2 socket head cap screws on

the underneath side of the Pivot Arm.

3- Remove the Pivot Screw and lift the tension adjustment assembly off of the coder.

4- Remove the Pivot Arm Cap and lift the Pivot Arm assembly off it’s axle.

5- Reinstall the Pivot Arm on the axle in the opposite or “mirrored” orientation and replace the Pivot Arm Cap.

6- Remove the Position Adjusting Screw and reinstall in the reverse position.

7- Replace the tension adjusting assembly and the Pivot Screw.
