For best adaptation, the applicator offers several methods to adjust to
the whole system and, therefore, to the required needs.
After removing the cover of the manifold, 6 potentiometers as well as
4 DIP switches become accessible by which the parameters can be
set.
Potentiometers
Potentiometer 1 is sealed. Certain voltage settings are pre-adjusted
from the factory and not to be changed by the user.
The potentiometers 2 - 6 offer the adjustment of the labelling process
by changing certain time delays. If any one of the settings is changed
the actual value is briefly shown in the printer display.
Potentiometer (

B
- blowing time 0 ... 2.5 s
This potentiometer is used to set the time period of the blow air for the
transfer of the label onto the product.
Potentiometer (

) : t
SA
- switch-off delay supporting air 0 ... 2.5 s
Delayed to the process of the label being picked up, the supporting air
is switched off.
In many cases, after being picked up by the pad the label edge may
still stick on the carrier ribbon. This may affect the accuracy of the
label positioning or even cause faults in the labelling.
Therefore, switching off the air blow delayed can be useful to separate
the label from the carrier ribbon and neatly place the label on the
surface of the pad.
