Potentiometer (
4
) : s
SE
- switch-on delay supporting air 0 ... 20 mm
The supporting air from the blow tube is not immediately switched on
when the print of the label is released but delayed. The air is switched
on, when the label has covered a certain distance s
SE
.
This delay helps to prevent a turning or swinging at the front of the
label and, consequently, avoids faults when the label is being picked
up from the printer.
The parameter measures the distance covered by the label before the
supporting air is switched on, and it is not dependent on the print
speed. This way, the position of the label can be determined until the
air is switched on.
Potentiometer (
5
) : t
SP
- locking time 0 ... 2.5 s
All start signals coming in following the first start signal are ignored
when they arrive within the locking time t
SP
.
Potentiometer (
6
) : t
VS
- start delay 0 ... 2.5 s
The parameter t
VS
determines the time period between the start signal
and the start of the labelling process. With this delay it is possible to
release the start of the labelling process sensor controlled, for
instance, when a sensor is located on an assembly line in front of the
labelling place.
DIP Switches
With the DIP switches (
7
) the operation mode as well as the firmware
of the applicator can be determined.

settings
If switch No. 4 is OFF the setting of the potentiometers is
automatically stored in the printer when switched on. Therefore, in
case the applicator has been changed (e.g. in case of an accident) the
settings are still saved and can be transferred to a replacement (see
also Print info display).
